<The Unwanted Undead Adventurer> Volume 14 - After all the wait, Rentt has become a pushover goodie-two-shoes character. ::: spoiler Spoiler
After a group of thieves attacks him, he takes them under his wing, buys them new equipment, and plans on training them up in the dungeon until they can sustain their lives on their own as adventurers. I hate that so much. Later on, a pickpocket tries to steal his money, and he takes them in as well. He’s the Mother Theresa of Vampires.

<They Don’t Know I’m Too Young for the Adventurer’s Guild> Volume 3 - I understand the author’s MO now. Introduce a new character and make him really grating at the beginning of a volume. Then work on him for the rest of the volume until the reader actually likes them. This really works for me, and I hope the quality of the series will continue at this high level.
<Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord: Production Magic Turns a Nameless Village into the Strongest Fortified City> Vol. 6 - another war-centric volume. I hope this arc is done now, and the next volume goes back to city building.
No, I mean it. It takes more to change my opinion of a character than to form an initial opinion of them. And each of the three volumes so far has made me change my opinion about a character. In each, it has a character that is unlikable at first, then you learn more about them over the span of the volume, and at the end, I actually like them and want to read more about them. The plot isn’t world-changing or anything, but for a character-driven story, it’s good. Unironically.
Hello Bookworm! I looked it up, and the Library in Alexandria — which just so happens to be the greatest in all of Yurgenschmidt, nay… even the entire world — has the following entries:

Yeah, that sounds awful.
I cannot tell if this is sarcasm or not.
