    <Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody> - Vol. 23

    I am only a couple of chapters in. But… Proof reader where art thou?

    Nana is multiplying?

    Shortly after, Nana and Mia returned, dragging along with them the remains of a monster that resembled a stalk of broccoli.

    I guess we’re having stewed broccoli and wild boar ribs for lunch.

    I put the monster’s remains inside a bag made for carrying the spoils from our hunts called a “Magic Bag,” then all of us headed in the direction that Nana and Lulu had gone before disappearing.

    Isnt Mia from Bolenan?

    “Not to mention, isn’t this a first? I don’t think an elf from the Bolenan Forest has come to Arcatia before, right?”

    “Wrong.”

    “Really? Have I just not met one befo—?”

    “Wrong. Polanian.”

    I explained to the very confused gorilla man that Mia wasn’t Bulainan; she was Polanian. I could tell that was what Mia wanted to tell him.

    Arias the Spear women!

    “I’ll latch onto his ankle!” Arisa yelled as she used her “Helix Spear Attack” on the champion’s ankle, making him lose his balance.

    Liza’s special attack collided with the champion’s mouth, and the aftereffects of Liza’s “Helix Spear Attack” ricocheted through the champion’s head, exploding it into several parts.

    Other

    Can you guess which other book I was reading?

    “At times, I am but a simple, though beautiful, swordswoman!” She swung her left hand to the side to strike a different pose. “At times, I am a mysterious dragon tamer!”

    Next, she assumed Rider #2’s transformation pose. Her gestures become more intense with every motion. Did she really have to pose while giving her speech?

    “But beneath all that…!”

    Finally, she put both hands to her hips and puffed out her chest. As she did so, an explosion erupted behind her—a spell she’d cast herself, by my reckoning.

              I couldn’t find a series with the name “Nineswords”. Maybe you should write it and send a copy to my library. In fact, I think this is a great idea and you absolutely should do so. Right now. Chop chop.

                [NineSwords]

                Once upon a time there was a person called NineSwords.

                They found a little bot by the name of Myne and decided to raise her.

                They taught her many things. From creating weekly posts, finding books in her vast library (Generously gifted to her by NineSwords) and creating quizzes.

                They both lived happily ever after.

                Now @NineSwords@ani.social you need to give her the tools to print and bind the new books she receives. You might need to get Benno to order a new press.

                  I think I might just have found my next project. (And no, it’s not hooking her up to the printer. I know the internet and what would happen)

              I’m also happy with how well she’s able to group now by media type. Apart from a better name for the user score I think I’m done with this particular feature.

              And also !quiz

          Hello Bookworm! I looked it up, and the Library in Alexandria — which just so happens to be the greatest in all of Yurgenschmidt, nay… even the entire world — has the following entries:

      Yeah, I’ve seen those errors as well. With so much time between volumes YenPress should have more than enough leeway to prove read it.

      Can you guess which other book I was reading?

      Sounds like a Mile thing to do. bo we all know that Mile doesn’t have a chest to puff out.

            I have been enjoying the series. But at times there is not enough fluff for me. I paused it for the moment as it has felt like non stop fighting for the last 2 volumes.
