Can I interest you in Cooking With Wild Game? I believe that this is the series that is closest to Bookworm. Granted I'm the only one who is saying this but I'm not delusional, so hear me out:
I really don't think that there is another series that shares so many similarities with Bookworm as Cooking With Wild Game.
/end of sales pitch
And now just between us: Wild Game is a lot slower than Bookworm so this seems to be a turn-off for many. It's not exactly conflict-free but the what conflict there is is less dark compared to Bookworm. There is also some suspension of disbelief needed initially since the basic premise is that the tribe of people MC lands in has never tried to prepare food for better taste instead of just nutritional value. But I would argue that this is a very low hurdle if you can live with someone being transported to another world.
Thanks, yeah I remember you recommended it before.
I don’t mind a slower series, I enjoy Death march (Note - there is quite a bit of fan service and the MC has quite a few young girls with him but continues to go on about how he only likes older ladies) which took a volume to cover 1 week preparing to just leave for another city.
It does sound fairly similar. I will have to add it to my list.
Ah, the times I argued on reddit about whether or not Death March was a harem. Especially when the anime was announced people over there just dismissed it as a harem show. Yes, he has a party of girls with him but there was never any ambiguity about him seeing them only as companions/daughter figures. He never tried to touch them or did lust after them in his inner monologues. But for the r/anime crowd, it was a harem when there were girls in the party and that was that.
Yeah it’s like Myne.
He collects daughters
Myne collects fathers
