After-School Dungen Diver: Level Grinding in Another World. Vol 1
MC can freely travel between Japan and the fantasy world. Some interesting contrast between the MC who is dungeon diving as a hobby after school and the adventurers for whom this is their job and way of life. But it does not get too serious. Some cliche harem precurors (MC rescued two different women who immediately fell in love…) No real meta plot, at least not yet. 3/5
The Water Magician: Arc 1. Vol 1
Wow, I really enjoyed this one. No stat points, skills, hud, etc. Instead magic and abilities are gained through training and effort. Much of the first novel is in a survival setting with the MC learning to survive, building up a base and a routine, etc. It actually starts to feel lonely after awhile. 4/5
The Otome Heroine’s Fight for Survival. Vol 1
Another I really enjoyed. Unlike the water magician as this has ALL the stats, skills, hud, etc. complete with frequent print outs of stats in the text. MC is NOT an isekei protagonist, but due to an accident gained some memories from a character who was isekei’d causing her to realize she is the protagonist in a gameworld. This pisses her off and she decides to abandon the plot and prioritize her own safety and wellbeing, (and will kill for it if needed.) After a bunch of villainess novels, it is nice to read one with the protagonist going rogue 4/5
The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash. Vol 1-6
Picked it up after watching most of the anime. Overall I really enjoy the story, but it tends to get bogged down and overly repetative at times. 4/5
Why Shouldn’t a Destestable Demon Lord Fall in Love?! Vol 1-2
Starts off a bit silly, and the slice of life moments while nice at first, drag on way to long, especially the over emphasis on cutesy speech from the 3 year old… Generally enjoyable, but not much of a plot to drive my interest. 3/5
Just my luck. I was flipping a coin yesterday between starting this and “The Exiled Noble Rises as the Holy King” and chose poorly, because Exiled Noble is terrible so far. But I already dropped 3 novels last week, so I have to power through this one and stop being so picky.
