    • With One Day Left I’ll Break All the Destruction Flags: “Serves You Right!” RTA 24 Hour Record - otome game villainess isekai. Fast-paced story about a villainess preventing her own doom. Most of the appeal is to watch how the villainess is breaking the heroine’s plot.
    • Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life - isekai, slow life. MC gets himself killed by protecting a cat, and a god decides to reincarnate him. He chooses to become a blacksmith in the new world. The main focus is on his interactions with other characters, specially the girls who start gathering around him. There’s no actual romantic development whatsoever, mind you (at least for now - dunno about the future), but it’s a fun read.
    • Rakujitsu no Pathos / Sunset of Passion - romance, drama, adult. A young mangaka and his former teacher stumble upon each other, after graduation. She’s married already, but… let’s say that they do feel quite a bit for each other. Frankly I’m considering to drop this, due to overall lack of development; the first chapters were a joy to read, but the last ones have been fairly repetitive.
    • Call Girl in Another World - isekai, adult. Same premise as JK Haru in Another World, but this one is comedy all the way, since the interactions between the girls and their clients are funny.
    • Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything / Hazure Waku no Joutai Ijou Skill - MC gets reincarnated with only status debuffs as cheat power, while other heroes get amazing abilities. So the goddess decides to dump him in the middle of an extra-hard dungeon so he hopefully ends dead. Not only he manages to survive but he’s smart enough to use his abilities to their full proficiency. Frankly it’s better of a story than it looks like.
    • The Other Side of the Secret - It’s from Hideaki Yoshikawa, so as usual there are tentacles and groping and stuff like this. MC finds a door to another world, and is looking for clues on his older sister who went completely missing. In the process he discovers another world that is parallel to ours, full of hunters looking for stuff with magical properties.
