Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill: Volume 1

Ginger-Fried Pork and the Legendary Beast

By: Ren Eguchi, Kevin Chen - translator

Narrated by: Jason Vu

Mukouda Tsuyoshi was nothing special in modern Japan…

So when he was summoned to a world of swordplay and sorcery, he thought he was ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Too bad the kingdom that summoned him only got him by mistake! Not only was he not one of the three summoned heroes, but his stats were laughable compared to theirs. On top of that, there's something really sketchy about this kingdom…

When he realizes the subjects are the kind of people who just use the hero, Mukouda immediately leaves to make his own way in this other world.

A good listen but...

overall, I am a fan of this series. I'm reading the manga, light novels, and I love the anime. overall the performance is decent but there are moments where I think the narrator could do with more energy and consistency with the voices. some voices start off as an attempt for something new, but then shift back to his default voice. Also his Sui is a little too high pitched and Sui ends up talking A LOT later on and it can hinder people's enjoyment. Im not expecting pro voiceover, that's for the casts of the anime, which I suggest watching both dubbed and subbed, but a little more consistency and variety would elevate the experience. overall a good first outing and I can't wait to see how the narrator develops his style for the characters.

Phenomenal on all levels!!!

My partner and I absolutely love the story. Its a super cute detailed adventure and the reader does an amazing job with the voices and Sound effects! Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a fresh DnD style adventure that focuses more on relationship and character building then actual fighting!

Great

the performance is great the story is great and I can't wait for more!! The next volumes should be audible #1 priority!!

amazing reader

nailed feels voice and just everything in general, from a strict anime watcher never thought I'd laugh at a light novel

Love the story!

I love the story overall but the narrator in my opinion was a little lifeless. Each word was said in a more monotone voice and was a bit dull. I had wished the MC would have a little more life to his speach. The book overall is amazing tho and I would reread/ relisten to it.
