Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill: Volume 4

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (Light Novel) #4

by Ren Eguchi, MASA . (Illustrator), Kevin Chen (Translator)

Mukohda, the salaryman from modern Japan who was (accidentally) whisked away to another world via a “Hero Summoning” ritual, finally arrived at the dungeon city of Dolan. Pressured into challenging the dungeon by his familiars, the cowardly Mukohda survives waves of terrifying monsters, and thanks to his familiars' overwhelming might, they became the first party to conquer the dungeon!

While the Adventurers and Merchants guilds fuss over the unexpected champions and the spoils of their victories, Mukohda, who managed to level up in the dungeon, is more astonished to find that his unique “Online Supermarket” skill has unexpectedly evolved. Now that a new power has been unlocked, amazingly, Mukohda is now able to buy cakes and ice cream directly through his new “Tenant!” Things are looking up for his familiars and the goddesses Ninrir and Rusalka, who are overjoyed at the new variety of sweets available to them. However, it seems that some gods may be conspiring to force Mukohda to keep leveling in order to unlock even more “Tenants” to satisfy their craving for otherworld goods...

Frustrating but good

So far this has been a good but frustrating series for me, I really like all the characters in this except the MC. The MC learns that his primary skill can be vastly improved if he levels up some more but he stubbornly refuses to do so for reasons that don't make sense, his familiars are powerful which is awesome and they came to him because of his cooking which is fine, but his original reason for not fight is because he is scared to get hurt and for which is fair, but that reason is no longer valid be cause of his perfect defense skill. The MC's lack of motive to improve himself just absolutely frustrates me.

Recipes?

Reading this makes me want to try cooking the meals he makes. If you want humor, some litrpg, cooking this is a series for you!!

This Volume shall forever be known as the Tenant volume. it all comes down to this. also its mistranslated it should be Franchise.

Now that he's beaten Dolan's dungeon, Mukohda is ready to move on. Once he picks up a few new cooking utensils, that is. A portable stove is all well and good, but with this many blacksmiths around, he's aiming for something a bit more. In the background, the gods are plotting to get him to level up faster so he can continue unlocking his unique skill . . .

I liked this book better than the previous, although in a lot of ways it's more a return to the slice of life aspect. It was fun seeing Mukohda plan out a barbecue grill, or trying to deal with the perpetually needy gods and goddesses.

There's also some good scenes with the other summoned kids, who have figured out at long last the true character of the country that summoned them.

Overall if you've been enjoying the series so far this is a decent continuation. There still isn't much substance beyond watching Fel, Dora-chan, and Sui get hungry and rip things to shreds, but the story feels like it is moving along. I rate this book Neutral.

Honestamente me relaja mucho este tipo de historias en donde… en realidad no pasa nada.
La vida es caminar, hay muchos riesgos afuera pero, debido a la fuerza descomunal de sus acompañantes, no se tiene que preocupar de nada. Incluso los regentes han decidido que nadie se meta contigo y pasear libremente por las tierras es beneficio suficiente.
Y mientras tanto lees de toda la comida que preparas, todos los Baños que tomas, todas las cosas que compras y todo el oro que obtienes por las recompensas que ganan tus acompañantes.

Agradecí saber del otro grupo de viajeros de otro mundo, ya me pregunto si algún día se encontrarán y lamento que los destinos sean tan diferentes.

Pero a mi me relaja esta lectura.

mukohda needs to eat more kinds of vegetables than just cabbages.

as someone who's not much of a cook and isn't really in any hurry to try the recipes he makes for him and his familiars, i've now straight up started skipping the recipe sections. doesn't mean the recipe sections make the books less, they fit the central conceit of the series and aren't something a lot of lns do, so that's kinda cool, but they're just not for me.

since sui and dora-chan's dialogues are typographically identical, unlike with fel, it can be sometimes difficult to tell who's saying what. wish there was more character work done, their talking styles more distinguishable.

not the mukohda misgogynist moment towards end tho omg

the giant list of monster drops from the dungeon was fucking sending me, I don't know why. the contrast of mukohda being literally an ordinary guy getting all of these insane level drops, all because he stumbled into familiar contracts with insanely powerful monsters.

ugohl is the best. everyone else seems too...polite? to tell elrand that he's being ridiculous, but ugohl gives no shits. AND he's hella knowledgeable and can spot a scam from the merchant's guild. he really should be in charge.

my favorite line, by vahagn "go get to level 40 quickly. it's fine if you do it like you intend to die." like??? poor mukohda lmao.

I think the writing is slightly improving - the story itself has great potential and is funny and interesting. The cooking descriptions are just pointless filler IMO, and I just skim over those. It’s hard to tell if it’s the translation or original text, but the title of “sub-guildmaster” is weird. It should be something like vice guildmaster or assistant guildmaster, which sounds much more like an official title.

I have to note that renting a house is crazy expensive. It doesn’t make sense since most people probably stay in an inn - it was 60 gold for a week. So…600,000 yen per week? Currently about $4500 USD.

The fourth instalment of the series about a spirited-away-to-another-world man and his three familiars a slime, a pixie dragon and a magickal wolf-like creature.

The series is really addictive and in two days I have finished four of the novels and I plan to read the others in the next few days. Read it if you are a foodie and a fantasy addict!

[Mr Evil Genius · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story part was pretty good......

It was a fun story. The extra parts that told the story of the 3 high school kids he showed up with were also very interesting to read. I subtracted 1 star cuz a all the cooking parts. The author doesn't need to explain the cook, the prep, the back-of-the-box instructions for each and every meal, so I ended up skipping those parts.

Another volume here, more of the same. And I mean that in the best possible way. It's like comfort food for my tired brain.

Though, I have to say there could have been a bit more variety in the meals.

[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is still fairly entertaining, but admittedly the basic plot to this series is more or less the same. I hope things vary up and he actually makes some progress with his time in this alternate world.

[Russell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still skipping the food prep parts.

[Nattapan · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is undeniable that all of his companions make this journey much more enjoyable.

[Nicole Nieto · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m blazing through this series pretty fast. This really is a quick read and it’s fun to unwind with.

[Lissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another fun adventure. Very easy to read, super low-key.

[Genielle Weber · Rating 5 out of 5]

So fun

I really enjoy this series. I can't wait for more to come out! best fun and lighthearted, but can be serious although I wish he would be a bit more heroic.

It is a bit more slow-paced, but cheering on the wayward summoned teens in the side story. Mukohda may not want to get involved in combat, but he may not get a choice.

[MyDoRyS · Rating 5 out of 5]

Starts when selling stuff from the dungeon of Dolan. Mukoda creates a medicine for 2 kids. From the items on the dungeon, Mukoda sends the "Necklace of Antidotes" to the king as thanks. He also introduces fries!!! He gets a BBQ! Then they head over to a new town, Nijhoff. In the town he is asked byt the guild to take care of a Cyclops and some Carnivore Plants. The book ends after Mukoda realize some special blessings the new gods introduced on book 3 gave him in secret. Onto my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!

This one's really laid-back.

After the dungeon trip, this book indulges in the peace after it. It's quite short too so it was an easy and light read.

I'm quite excited about what will happen next to Mukohda and his familiars.

Also, the bonus stories were all a good read! I especially like that one bonus story about an audience with the Leonhardt's king. I'm quite curious how they will act towards Mukohda from here on out.

That was a light read, I'm excited for the next!
