Fell in love with the anime, devoured the manga and decided that it was not enough, so decided to dive into the light novels. Usually I steer away from translated light novels because certain expressions, phrases, descriptions etc can get lost intranslation, but the translators did a pretty good job in capturing the mood and feel of the story, thought the humour felt a bit more subdued compared to the manga and anime.
I love isekai anime, and coupled with the cooking/food based genre, this hit the right spot. Also, it's refreshing to have an MC that was not overpowered as many isekai MCs tend to be. In fact the hilarious thing was he is utterly useless and cowardly, and yet he managed to contract a legendary monster as a familiar, and not to mention a special and cute slime.
Definitely enjoyed the heck out of it, and will continue the series to see what entails beyond the anime and manga for Mukhouda, Fel and Sui.

finished #CampfireCookinginanotherworldwithmyabsurdskill today and it was such a fun, light, isekai comfort anime
I couldn't decide between rating this 3 or 4 stars, but finally bumped this to a 4 star review because of Sui.
This is a pretty typical slow life isekai story, but I really enjoyed the main character as well as his familiars. I do feel like the story and world needs to be flushed out a bit more and I hope to see that in future volumes.

Manga, Chapters 1-51
1. MC accidentally gets summoned to another world along with a bunch of would-be heroes, discovers his only skill is online grocery shopping, and immediately nopes out of the whole fight evil be heroic etc thing in favor of living his best life. He then starts to use his skill (which basically gives him access to a Japanese-style supermarket with insta-delivery) and his considerable cooking chops to make really good food. This food attracts various powerful people, creatures, and gods to him, all salivating for a taste.
2. It's a very slice-of-life-y story. The only overarching plot here is how Felu is determined to eat every kind of meat there is in this world, which is a goal I can appreciate. This means that the MC and his retinue travel all over the place learning more about the world and the people who live there while making a variety of delicious dishes.
3. The worldbuilding is pretty solid, even when most of it revolves around the food. There's some interesting politics stuff happening in the background, with the initial summoning kingdom being set up as the power-mad conquerors, and I hope the light novel maybe goes into that a little more because that's a good setup.
4. I also give this a pass on the depiction of female characters thing. A lot of OP!Power Fantasy (which is not exactly what this is, but the MC is superpowerful because the walking stomachs surrounding him are not going to let anything get between them and their next meal so close enough) Manga tends to make all the women useless sexpots with a lot of boob-butt posing, panty shots, impossible cleavage and whatnot. There isn't a single plot critical female character yet and everyone is very well-endowed, but apart from that, the art does not go out of its way to objectify the women.
Which is a low bar, but I read three chapters of "I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated" right after this and I'm going to be irritated by that for another month at least because everything was so fucking pervy. At this point, I'll take non-plot critical women so long as they are not prepubescent catgirls in revealing clothing mentored by some guy who thinks of pussy all day. GAH, my brain.
5. Special mention to Sui for being able to eat all the plastics and packaging that come along with all the purchases. I swear to god all the packaging garbage in a non-industrialized world was giving me anxiety till Sui came in. Thank you so much, Sui!
