I think it’s time to let her go.

The stress is obviously getting to her.

Foiled by my own incompetence.

<THE MAGICAL REVOLUTION OF THE REINCARNATED PRINCESS AND THE GENIUS YOUNG LADY> - Volume 02

I have continued with Magical Revolution this week.

Is that the one where the reincarnated Girl builds a flying broom and then steals the princess?

Reincarnated girl is the princess but yeah, bride stealing ditter with brooms instead of high-beasts and no competitors.

<THE MAGICAL REVOLUTION OF THE REINCARNATED PRINCESS AND THE GENIUS YOUNG LADY> - Volume 01

I decided to start Magical Revolution. It ones of those ones I want to enjoy, I watched the anime a while back and enjoyed it so I thought I would try the LN.

So far it is going ok, some bits didn’t keep my attention too well but I have completed the first volume and I am onto the second. Overall it is enjoyable so I will see how it goes.

I am terrible at guessing what happens so the table of content doesn’t bother me.

I bet you hate the illustrations with quotes at the start as well!

I always to try guess which chapter they are in.

Most names in Bookworm are either outright German words ore ones that got mangled a bit,

I never realised they were German. But now you mention they do seem to sound pretty German.

If there is some interest for it I could go through the Gods names and do a translation of them.

Yeah, I would be interested. I guess the names are linked to their title as well?

E.g. Angriff = god of war = attack

I will start.

Average Abilities / Survive on Potions / Saving 80000 Gold

FUNA (the author)

1. FU (Kong-Fu) - NA (Nah)

2. FUN (Fun) - A (hay)

I read it as 1 in my mind

Ascendance of a bookworm

Grutrissheit (the bible)

I don’t have a clue how to read it. I just skip it every time.

Ascendance of a bookworm

Ordonnanz (Communication Bird)

I know it’s wrong but I always read it as ordnance. Like the name of the ordnance survey maps.

Here are some of the story driven ones I have enjoyed.

Shadows House (2021) - Great story and I don’t see it mentioned much. One of the ones that made me go and binge the source material.

The Ancient Magus’ Bride (2016) - Another one that never seems to get mention but is fantastic. Season 1 was in 2016 but it’s had season 2 since 2020

Lycoris Recoil (2022) - Great story, if I remember correctly it was vey popular but has faded into the back ground as more series get pumped out.

Ascendance of a Bookworm (2019) - Excellent series, binged the Light Novel. Can’t wait for Part 3 to be Animated.

Medalist (2025) - A nice comfy show that will have you routing for all the characters.

Delicious in Dungeon (2024) - Personally not one of my top picks but was vey well received by the community.

Slow week for releases.

<Saving 80,000 Gold in another world for my retirement> - Volumes 06 to 07

I continued Saving Gold and now I am on the latest released volume (08). The post series depression will be kicking in later this week.

Now the quotes!

A more risqué joke than normal from FUNA

Saving 80000 Gold in another world for my retirement - Volume 06 - Chapter 66

Mitsuha gave each girl a finger ring. Whoops, that was unfortunate wording. I guess I’ll call them club rings instead.

No one does an afterword like FUNA. I love it when the characters make it to the afterword. Especially a cross series meet-up.

Saving 80000 Gold in another world for my retirement - Volume 06 - Afterword

Kaoru: “First Mile, now Mitsuha…? How come they both got anime adaptations and not me…? I came before both of them! It’s not fair!”

Mitsuha: “What are you talking about? Our first volumes were published at the same time, Kaoru!”

Kaoru: “Our titles were both published in June 2017, but mine was on the 2nd, and yours was on the 30th! And mine was the first title published on a brand-new label. You were second in line!”

Mitsuha: “Oh, if you want to play that card, well then, let me educate you! My story was published first on Shosetsuka ni Naro. That makes me your senior!”

Kaoru: “Huh? What are you talking about! We were posted at the same time!”

Mitsuha: “Oh no, no, my first chapter was posted on November 2, 2015 at 5:44pm. Your first chapter was posted the next day, November 3, 2015 at 10:21pm. That means…I’m older than you by one day, four hours, and thirty-seven minutes!”

Kaoru: “Grk!”

Mile: “Hey now, let’s all get along…”

Kaoru & Mitsuha: “Shut up! I don’t want to hear anything from you, Mile! You got the first novel adaptation, manga adaptation, and anime adaptation even though you came after both of us!”

Mile: “Sorry…”

How could FUNA betray me like this? Then again I do forget to use spices when cooking and don’t notice.

Saving 80000 Gold in another world for my retirement - Volume 07 - Chapter 77

Delicious food had little to do with scientific advancement. Britain was proof of that. It never would’ve developed as a country otherwise. This was also true of the arts.

Agreed, it depends on the screen type.

do you wait until your eyes reach the button to scroll or do you just constantly nudge the page up to keep your eyes in the middle?

Depends on the device. If it’s a phone I usually scroll as I read. If it’s a tablet I usually read to the bottom then scroll the whole page.

Hannelore new series is really good

That’s the only side story I have read. I still can’t believe she did a Myne and caused herself more headaches.

Cooking With Wild Game. It’s entirely character driven. If you don’t like the characters after the first volume you will have a bad time.

I didn’t finish the volume, I was looking for a series after finishing one and think it was just the wrong story at the wrong time. So it’s in my revisit list. I didn’t have anything against the characters but they just weren’t clicking with me.

In fact it might have been Death March I had finished, so trying to get to know new characters after travelling with the gang was too much.

There were a couple of series I was thinking of picking up but I have forgot them since.

DEFCON 5 -

I find another series and life goes on

DEFCON 4 -

Revisit older series I gave up on:

Cooking with wild game

Reincarnated as a Sword

Spirit Chronacles

Apothecary Diaries

DEFCON 3 -

Watch some Anime to find new series / Read some Manga

DEFCON 4 -

Reread a series I enjoyed:

Death March

Making Magic

Continue rereading Bookworm Part 4

DEFCON 5 -

Read the reserved volumes:

Bookworm side stories

Silent Witch - Barrier Mage

(Not sure why they are reserved, I didn’t read them the first time around and never bothered to read them since. But now I am scared to start and truly finish them)

I think ponko goes for Glico Man pose here

Ponko was clearly giving prays to the gods!
