    I’m slowly starting to get back into a steady reading rhythm.

    • The Ephemeral Scenes of Setsuna’s Journey, Vol. 1 - Great first volume. There is some emotional manipulation going on which I usually hate with a passion. Still, it is not too on the nose, so I can let it pass since the rest of the book was great and because it looks like the manipulative parts are done with going forward (if things turn out as I would expect). 7/10 new LN to look forward to

    • The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash Vol. 4 - Not much change here from volume to volume. Comfy isekai soul food but the relationship between MC and sidekick starts to feel uncomfortable. Please don’t let this turn into a “for my daughter i’ll defeat the demon lord” situation. Pretty please and thank you. 6/10 PTSD nightmares

    • Cooking with Wild Game: Volume 22 - Surprisingly much happening in this volume for this notoriously slow series. I still love everyone of the main cast, but I would rather see them massage the breaks a bit to get back into the usual relaxed cruising speed. 8/10 baby gibas

    • Making Magic: The Sweet Life of a Witch Who Knows an Infinite MP Loophole Volume 4 - I have to point out again the interesting structure of the series. It’s more like a “timeframe of the volume” kind of thing than an unbroken continuous storyline. I like it even though the actual story and prose are nothing special. 6/10 overpowered witches with a bonus point for originality

    • The Greatest Magician’s Ultimate Quest: I Woke from a 300 Year Slumber to a World of Disappointment Volume 1 - Meh… 3/10 annoying MCs
