Boženík opened the 2023–24 season with two goals against defending champions Benfica in the opening round of the season, in a 3–2 victory. By the sixth matchday, Boženík recorded five goals in five games. The club, which was expected to battle for relegation lost form in later rounds of the season and completed the campaign ranked fifteenth of eighteen.

Style of play Boženík was described as a "complete forward with a good mix of technique and physical ability", by football podcaster Carter Phillips, highlighting that while he can prove himself as a striker, he is also valuable in setting-up play. Phillips compared Boženík to Petar Musa. Meanwhile, Pedro Cadima of O Jogo spoke highly of Boženík's mobility, self-sacrifice and dedication to fulfilling defensive roles, as he has to "contribute to the equilibrium of the team", while noticing that the role of an alternate striker in his first seasons with Boavista may have caused issues with his confidence.
