Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (Light Novel) #17
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill: Volume 17
What was supposed to be a quick jaunt to the capital of Leonhardt has turned out to be a lot more than Mukohda bargained for! Between a royal audience, an industrial-scale butchering project, and at least one inadvertent extinction, the trip has been one headache after another. But now, finally, the serious business is all settled and Mukohda gets to kick back and enjoy himself! The capital is home to shopping, street food, and sights to see aplenty, and Mukohda has every intention to avail himself of all of them. Then he’ll be heading right back to Karelina for some much needed long-term rest and relaxation...or so he thinks! Little does Mukohda know that his familiars are about to drag him out to one of their most remote destinations yet in search of prey that he’d rather have nothing to do with!

Seems to me that everyone in this world that Mukhouda has been zapped to are all annoying and irritating, even the gods. Well, except the creator god himself i guess. And I am getting quite sick and tired of the familiars' disrespect and entitlement, and Mukhouda himself is allowing it to happen because he is such a massive pushover. This schtick is getting a little tired. Seriously, at this point in time, Mukhouda should have just asked the creator god to bestow upon him a skill or some means of punishing the errant familiars because they are starting to grate on my nerves. Even Sui.
Talking about annoying, we get to meet more annoying characters in the form of the high elfs hiding on an island where the green dragon is. Why are all elfs in this world such greedy gluttons? But at least this group is slightly less irritating and unnerving than Elrand the degenerate.
All in all an ok entry in the series. At this point it seems it is an auto pickup for me, but I hope one fine day it would not just end up not being one.

My reviews are my own. If you enjoyed this book, I'm glad you did. If not, I respect your opinion, so please respect mine. This is simply my perspective, so let's keep the discussion courteous. As a reader, I read to escape and my reviews reflect that.
This series is turning into a copy-paste-repeat cycle. Everyone bullies the MC, and I genuinely don't understand why he continues to let himself be treated like a doormat when he holds the key to so much power. His internal monologues are starting to sound like childish, crybaby rants. SPEAK UP, DUDE! THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE A MOUTH FOR!
The MC has both the power and the time to learn new skills, so why, after 17 books, has he still not learned how to butcher meat himself? Instead of spending so much time shopping, maybe he should invest some effort into becoming competent at something other than cooking. And why do the authors keep piling more and more unnecessary responsibilities onto him? I'm starting to think the author introduces new characters whenever he runs out of ideas, rather than developing the existing characters and storylines.
The MC keeps complaining about the same problems over and over again, yet never actually does anything to change his situation. If he's so tired of dealing with the same nonsense, then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Stop whining about problems you have the power to address.
As I've said before, it's the same story over and over, just with a different location and a different cast of characters. Shopping, people mistreating the MC, endless internal complaints, absolutely no meaningful changes, cooking, unnecessary new characters, maybe a good page or two, and then back to square one.
At this point, the series feels less like a story that's progressing and more like the author is recycling the same plot formula with a few cosmetic changes. After 17 books, I expect some character development, meaningful growth, and actual progress. Instead, we're stuck watching the MC complain about the same things while making the same mistakes, with the story going absolutely nowhere.
Onward and forward to my next adventure. Happy reading!!!

can’t wait for the next three books
Love how many books there are, love the content of the books. Hate that each book is only a few hours to read at most given my reading speed. Can’t wait to see the reaction of everyone when the elves get brought back.

Good read
I love mokouda is always busy trying to stop his familiars from going crazy. They bring so much problems to everyone around them. This volume introduced six high elves. I wonder what they will bring to him.
