Let’s start out this community with the weekly thread from r/lightnovels.
Feel free to discuss what you have read last week.
Volumes 1-3 of The World’s Fastest Level Up. It’s a typical cheat skill fantasy story, minus the isekai. The characters go dungeon crawling to level up, gain special skills, and make money. Protag wants to use his cheat skill to rise to the top.
The first volume was okay. Nothing special, but it matched the description and adhered to the premise, so no complaints there. The protagonist wasn’t awful (as far as these types of stories go). Just a single-minded guy working solo towards his goal.
Didn’t enjoy the second and third volumes as much. The main character devolved into more of an oblivious harem protagonist, and he seemed less consistent in general. Wasn’t a fan of the twists in the story or the general direction it’s going in either.
I almost picked that one up last week. Thanks for the warning, I think I stay away from it for the moment.
I have finally finished Volume 4, 5, and 6 of YumeDanshi (Dreaming Boy Turned Realist) today before the anime comes out this summer!
As for COTE, I think I’m gonna miss on hints if I do not reread the entire Y2 superarc before I delve into Y2V8, V0, and V9. So I held off on rereading for now until at least Y2V9.5 comes out (Hiyori fan here btw)
OmiShita (is that what it’s called? I personally call it Omiai), I cannot finish it because it’s too much diabetes with the fourth volume. Same with The Angel Next Door’s seventh volume. The feeling that you cannot but still carry on reading because the main couple is doing lewd yet wholesome things.
Re-reading To another world with Land Mines from vol1 to vol7 on Jnovel.club. It is decent series, the realistic take on transported to another world troupe is the one I like in this series. Other aspect (the prose, plot and character development) is ordinary though, so I can’t really recommend it to anyone…
