    In another world with my smartphone vol 1&2 dull as ditchwater.
    The loop of:

    • go here
    • save the day with random spell
    • add a girl to the harem
    • repeat

    It’s just not appeling to me. I have already dropped this twice in the past (as an anime and as LN) I was hoping to get to elderlich horror faster. Thanks @[email protected] for the suggestion. Idk how long will it keep me interested but so far in vol 3 there are more ancient ruins.

      I believe you asked for fantasy with aliens, and that was the only one that came to mind. I agree that it’s not good. I have a bad conscience now that you had to read that because I wasn’t clearer. Sorry for the confusion.

    Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden Volume 4 - Full adventuring novel without any TV production. While not bad per se, it’s just that I have a lot of adventuring novels and 0 tv production novels…

    Lucia and the Loom: Weaving Her Way to Happiness Volume 2 - Good heartwarming volume like the last one. I’m starting to enjoy the spinoff more than the main series.

    Ive been readding wheel of time for like 3 months now, on book 11 of 14 and i had to take a break. So to compliment a master piece that seems to be up there with bookworm, I started readding loner life lol. I read quite a few chapters years ago, but the manga then the anime was just nonsense, so as a trashy isekai lover i had to give it a try.

    Its utter nonsense. The MC is soooo fucking dumb. Hes got a skill making him dumb but thats besides the point. I do like it though, the MC is pretty funny some times, i wouldnt recommend it to anyone. But ive only gotten to vol 5 in the past week or so.

    Death March - Volume 22

    A great volume, it’s a shame it only got up to 3, I was hoping for a full platoon of *ions. NineSwords says so too.

    (What would the correct world be for a group of gods/goddesses?)

    Secrets of the silent witch - Volume 4.5

    An extra volume covering 4 short stories.

    Secrets of the silent witch - Volume 5

    We finally learn the cats (Neros) history and story. Things are heating up, people are getting closer to Monica’s secrets.

      I do not, but I agree. (That bit never gets old). They had such a great chemistry with Satou and I would have loved to see a. more of them and b. have them interact more with the other characters. But the door is open now for frequent visits.

      (What would the correct world be for a group of gods/goddesses?)

      Probably a “Morsel” of Goddesses. The term comes from the sound the group makes most prominently.

        I have cemented my position as the office weirdo, giggling to myself. The people around me were looking at me like I was Harmut spouting about Myne.

        The term comes from the sound the group makes most prominently.

        Is this true for English? The only one I can think of that fits is a gaggle of geese.

        Herd of sheep, cows, pigs, horse, etc

        Pod of dolphins, whales, etc

        Murder of crows

          Nah, that’s just what I’m going with. Sounds plausible enough, doesn’t it? ;)

          As far as I remember collective nouns are based on an old book (15th or 16th century) and there are some funny ones in there. I’ll look it up and report later.

          Edit: “The Book of Hawking, Hunting and Blasing of Arms” by Julia Berners published in England in 1486. It includes 165 collective nouns for groups of people and animals. I suppose the good gal was bored out of her mind and everyone just ran with it to humor her. And today we have have masterpieces like a “conspiracy of lemurs”, “tower of giraffes”, and “destruction of wild cats” (all real I swear).
