Monster meat has never tasted this good. In Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill, Mukoda wields his Net Super power like a chef’s cheat code, fusing supermarket staples with fantasy beasts to serve up one outrageous, mouthwatering dish after another.

Mukoda is living every foodie isekai dream. His cheat skill 'Net Super' (basically an online supermarket that still delivers in a fantasy world) lets him pair monster meat with pantry staples from modern Japan, and then feed the results to his trio of hungry familiars: Fel the legendary Fenrir, Sui the slime, and Dora-chan the pint-sized dragon. He and his crew have torn through a lot of monsters, but only some actually hit the pan. Here is everything he has cooked so far, ranked by how rare or powerful the creature is.

Mukoda's monster menu, ranked by rarity/power

  1. Horn Rabbit

    Bottom of the food chain and not worth a grand hunt, which is why we barely see anyone bother with them. Mukoda turns their meat into comfort food: simple grills, fried cutlets, even sausage. Tender, mild, easy win.

  2. Red Boar

    Early on, an escorting C-rank adventurer party drops one, and Mukoda uses it for his first real monster-meat experiment. Not a scary creature, but the reaction to his cooking sets the tone: he makes even basic boar taste special.

  3. Rock Bird

    The moment when Mukoda casually asks Fel to go fetch some meat and Fel comes back immediately with an entire Rock Bird is very on-brand. He cooks it multiple times in those early episodes because it handles like chicken: straightforward prep, reliably delicious.

  4. Giant Deer

    Another monster Fel deletes without breaking a sweat. They do not eat it right away; Mukoda just stashes the meat and later drops it into the rotation like it is a normal pantry item. Because for him, it is.

  5. Cockatrice

    Fel loves hauling these in whenever the mood strikes, so cockatrice shows up a lot on the menu. Flavor-wise, think: more chicken. It is familiar, versatile, and Mukoda can riff on it endlessly.

  6. Bloody Hornbull

    Dangerous in herds, but at heart they are fantasy beef. Mukoda notes the meat eats like high-end Japanese wagyu, which explains why Fel and Sui jump at the chance to help wrangle them and then inhale the results.

  7. Orcs, including the Orc General

    Regular orc meat leans porky. The Orc General, being a bigger, tougher boss, levels that up to premium pork territory. Mukoda's prep pushes it over the top, and everyone who tries it is sold.

  8. Black Serpent

    Yes, another thing that 'tastes like chicken.' Mukoda cooks it accordingly and it works. The real moneymaker here is the hide: Black Serpent skin is valuable for clothing, so this hunt pays off on more than just the plate.

  9. Venom Tarantula

    Hyped as a huge threat to a city... and then Fel one-shots it with lightning. The fun twist: they eat like crab. Maybe even better. Mukoda turns them into a proper delicacy.

  10. Red Serpent

    Rarer relative of the Black Serpent and even tastier despite needing basically the same cooking approach. The skin is a different story: it is one of the rarest materials around and nets a serious payout when sold.

  11. Wyvern

    Now we are into dragon country. Wyverns fly, they are tricky, and they rank way above the usual monsters. With Sui, Dora, and Fel, the fight is still quick, and the meat becomes a group event. Mukoda even shares it with his first adventurer companions. No surprise: everybody loves it.

  12. Earth Dragon

    The crown jewel. Fel snags one almost on a whim, which is absurd, because it is the rarest and most valuable creature they have dealt with. The meat is next-level. An Ellelund elf helps process it and gets a well-earned cut. Sui turns the blood and liver into a potent elixir, and the rest sells for eye-watering prices. Most profitable hunt to date, hands down.

What this show is doing (and where to watch it)

'Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill' takes the standard isekai template and spins it into a cozy food adventure: modern groceries meet fantasy monsters, with Fel, Sui, and Dora-chan as the ultimate taste-testers. Not every creature they down ends up as dinner, but when Mukoda cooks, it is comfort food with chaotic travel companions and the occasional dragon course.
