    The Flower That Wields a Sword

    I'm on chapter 27 and I have a prediction based on what we've seen so far. At any rate, it's interesting enough. I have good expectations as long as the author can keep up what they've done so far.

    The True Heiress Is an All-Powerful Bigshot

    Most of the stories I've consumed like this one happen to be about men who have reincarnated or something similar. So while this is totally junk food, it gave me a lot more satisfaction than it might otherwise just seeing the MC be a woman. But make no mistake, she is 100% a mary sue who can do...

    Kiyoubinbou, Jou wo Tateru ~Kaitaku Gakuen no Rettousei na no ni, Joukyuu-shoku no Skill to Mahou ga Subete Tsukaemasu~

    If I give this the benefit of the doubt I guess this is meant to be more humor than anything else. I'm just not sure who finds this funny. The entire plot hinges on the tropey 'misleading status screen' that implies MC is trash. So everyone gets sorted into one of two groups - harem of girls...

    Magus of the Library

    This series is fascinating, a lot more fleshed out and unique than any of the junk I usually dabble in. In summary, there's a huge debate that's relevant to real life regarding various freedoms but especially the freedom of information, the freedom of speech and press. And how those freedoms...

    Divorce Strategy

    The premise itself feels a little forced - we're told right up front that husband is cheating and plans to fake a bastard as the legitimate child. But given the context of the husband being a commoner who clearly neglected to learn about being a noble (nevermind attending to the duties of...

    From a Knight to a Lady

    I've gotten quite a few chapters in and while it's overall a good read, the thing that is driving me crazy is that FL never seems to have any actual goals she works toward. She does make progress on various fronts as time goes on but she spends all the time she isn't reacting to someone else...

    Becoming a Witch in a World Full of Monster Stories

    Forget not knowing anything, the MC is a complete moron who can't understand when something obvious has been said and then also happened. Dumb MCs are a dime a dozen but this one gives them all a bad name.

    Mizu Zokusei no Mahoutsukai

    I started this after watching a couple episodes of the anime. The fundamental story seems interesting enough that I'll probably keep an eye out for updates to the manga in spite of it being the worst adaptation of the three. I'm not gonna fuss as much about the art being ass but it really is...

    Karsearin: Adventures of a Red Dragon

    When it's not translated properly it seems more confusing than it really is: Arin is basically a male dragon toddler, a 'hatchling' not ready for the outside world. It's often played for laughs (like him being mistaken for a girl and crossdressing to play the part) but the author went out of...

    I Will Live the Life of a Villainess

    I think this was overall worth reading (to the current point at least) though I can't help but feel there are some heavy-handed points where things get forced awkwardly. That said, that seems to be intentional as part of the underlying premise, that things are going off-track and the various...

    Zutaboro Reijou wa Ane no Moto Konyakusha ni Dekiai Sareru

    It sort of goes without saying that this story hinges on the MC having insecurity and trauma from her upbringing but I gotta say it gets pretty frustrating the degree to which she gets in the way of her own happiness even when she objectively knows better and is surrounded by all the support...

    Secretly More Powerful than the Hero

    The story and characters have the potential to be serviceable but I just cannot come to terms with the premise being essentially nonexistent outside of the moments that a character will insist it's still in effect. As far as I've gotten, there have been some attempts to explain it but it saps...

    Mudameshi Kurai Nintei Sareta node Aiso o Tsukashi, Teikoku ni Utsute Shusse Suru - Vol. 2 Ch. 10 - The Special Forces Are Way Too Fast!

    Am I the only person who would be like "I need to prove myself? I'll pass on you and your special forces, thanks". Like, if they're so hungry for talent why tf are they being dicks to this guy? He's already getting paid way more for less work dealing with the normies.

    Munou wa Fuyou to Iware "Tokei Tsukai" no Boku wa Shokunin Guild kara Oidasareru mo, Dungeon no Shinbu de Shin mo Chikara ni Kakusei suru

    There's just bits and pieces that set this apart but overall the 'revenge' plot I think will be dissatisfying to most anyone regardless of how sadistic or generous you might be. As far as I've gotten, some of the consequences are starting to show up for those who betrayed our MC but the thought...

    Munou wa Fuyou to Iware "Tokei Tsukai" no Boku wa Shokunin Guild kara Oidasareru mo, Dungeon no Shinbu de Shin mo Chikara ni Kakusei suru - Vol. 3 Ch…

    I'm in the camp of being dissatisfied with the saint going down the route of just being a doll doing the bidding of the hero. It might be that later the rest of her 'punishment' gives a better conclusion but it's just stupid to go along with the 'hero's words now that she knows he's full of...
