Synopsis: A merchant by the name of Keigo Okuda put everything into his work, day and night, until one day he won a lottery of 1 billion yen! With his money worries solved for life, he moved to the countryside far away from civilization to live the slow life. Then, suddenly he was transported to another world, along with his chicken coop?! In a world where he's unable to communicate with others, you think his merchant skills will help him?! A man in his forties who hates people retired to another world. The story of his slow life has begun!

Comments: Honestly, I've been reading the manga and in spite of the incredibly generic premise, it's a decent read. I like how the series initially shows the negative sides of Keigo - his cowardice when it comes to fighting enemies, his lack of social skills when communicating with others, his general pessimism of being thrown into another world - and ultimately coming out of it all a better man. It's not going to win any awards when it comes to writing, but sometimes you want to have something dumb to just read and enjoy.

Obviously the LN already ended, which I didn't know until I decided to write this recommendation, but the manga's still ongoing. If Kado wants to get a small series out in a package deal, maybe this could work?

Necrobump just to update that the manga ended with 6 volumes. Dunno if it's still worth licensing but hey

Per the Pixiv Manga site, volume 6 of the manga will release on January 8, 2024. Comic-Walker says the 9th; whether their sites adjust for viewer's time zones seems relevant?
