    <Heroine? Saint? No, I’m an All-Works Maid (and Proud of It)!> vol 3 - feels like a bit stale leftovers. The plot felt like it was trying too hard to come up with a reason to care about the plot. The end had an actual nice set up for the next arc, and I am a bit of excited about it. Volume is 6/10

    <RVing My Way into Exile with My Beloved Cat: This Villainess Is Trippin’ Volume 3> - Obligatory trip to a far-off country in this fantasy world that cosplays as a Japanese theme park. Complete with all the same names, foods, clothes, architecture, myths, etc. It’s something that has to come up in every fantasy light novel. It’s the rule.

    <Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden Volume 7> - First part of the tournament is done. Finals next volume.

    <By the Grace of the Gods: Volume 16> - You have to wait several months for a new volume and then it’s basically just filler with nothing happening. You know how Bilbo Baggins said he feel like “butter scraped over too much bread”? That’s how I think about the plot here. Something that could have been 2 or 3 paragraphs has been stretched into a full volume.

    <Who Killed the Hero?, Vol. 1> - I don’t think it’s good, but the narrative composition is an interesting break from the norm. I applaud someone doing something different in a genre where most series feel very same-y otherwise. I just wish it were also good at the same time.
