This is a very "thumb in the middle" type game for me, but I am using a thumb down because of how positive the rest of the ratings are. The art, animation, characters, and world building are all really good. However, I found the gameplay loop to be very, very mediocre.

my joy immediately plummeted when it turned male protagonist. i dont wanna see those ugly things the quality took a nose dives as soon as it happened too KEEP THE MALES OUT OF OUR GAMES
You know the game is good when there's a trial by cooking. Super fun, super chill game. It really deserves a sequel.
