This one was my first published short story ever: in this anthology, written back before “humans are weird” was even a thing. Is it any surprise I love this trope?
(It's also at HFY.)
It's a great series and super quick read. I know it's on Amazon (maybe digital only). I got the audio books and listened to them back and forth from work.
Caveman brain see colourful rocks going click clack when shaking in hand! Cavemen brain need colourful rocks!
The sea cucumber is a delicacy in Malay and what about the term "shark meat" that is often used even though sharks are fish. Hope your ready for the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon because meat is pretty commonly used outside of whatever pro chef only circle you are in. Also you immediately went back to saying fish flesh is not meat. Here from the website master class since i apperently can't convince you. The three main catagories of meat are red meat, poultry, and fish. Were you are getting caught up is the fact red meat gets shortened to just meat.
They are going to be very confused by seeing And Tango Makes Three.

Please enjoy.

IRL book series. Well, e-books on kindle, no physical copies yet unfortunately.
I posted the link in a reply to someone else already, but here it is anyways.
It's the author's first story, so it can be kind of corny at times, but it is well written. Based on the manga isekai trope somewhat. The bad guys are almost cartoonishly evil at times, but I think it adds to the story, and the MC is genre savvy enough to realize that they are so stupidly over the top evil.
Fair warning, the first few chapters can be hard to get through. Not because they're bad, they're quite good actually. But I've never before been so ready to shoot up a school as when I first read this book because the MC's classmates are next level horrible to him.
Sexy space babes is a story by u/BlueFishcake that is on r/HFY and even got released on Amazon yesterday! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VD7DKC7
The basic premise is that a matriarchal empire with a vastly superior military has conquered earth in a matter of hours. They see human men as we see women, with the added complication that their males are only a fraction of their population so human dudes are the sexy space babes of the galaxy.
There are several authors working on the SSB universe as I listed above.
