    Not much LN this week but a couple of Web Novels and Manga

    Waking Up As a Spaceship!? What’s a Ship Girl Supposed To Do Now?! - Really nice Space Opera Isekai about guy turned into AI. The chemistry between characters is quite good. Writing is decent. The international intrigue is there. World building is just a mix of different games like Elite Dangerous, EVE online etc. with claque of USA, UK and Japan as Space Empires. Sadly the author probably died during 2020 pandemic and there wasn’t any more updates after that.

    Reincarnated into Two Bodies - Fantasy Isekai but narrator has two bodies. The potential is there for some great shenanigans but for now I don’t feel like it has gotten into its peak. I feel like there is a prologue and half of an story arc. (Maybe it will fill my bookworm hole with weekly chapters)

      How does this two-bodies thing work? Is his consciousness split between the two bodies, or does it switch between them? Or are there now two distinct consciousnesses that are a clone of each other at the time of reincarnation?

        The emotions and fantasy skills are split but thinking and consciousness are connected. There are couple of interesting choices by the author about the mechanic like MC can’t wake up themselfs. I fear that the author will disregard some things that were previously established.

        spoiler for chapter 30

        There is a plot hook for romance between themselfs but I guess it will be more of a comedic gag.

          The emotions and fantasy skills are split but thinking and consciousness are connected.

          So they’re basically two separate entities now with their own thought processes operating at the same time but share knowledge in real time? Like A sees something and B knows what A saw? Do I get that right?

          Reminds me a bit of an old novel about a unit of cyber soldiers that got their mind linked for the war and then lived with this mind link after the war.

            Two separate entities with same thought process with some sort of multi-threading and there is one consciousness / free will.

            Edit: Not a lot of is explained as MC is still new to the whole thing. If you are curious maybe read it. Not a lot plot but still something. I could also have wrong interpretation of the whole thing.
