Hey bookworms. Last week I read… absolutely nothing. Oops. Was spending time with the family and doing a few other things the past couple weeks. I may or may not have a fun project in the works that I’ll share later though.
<TsukiMichi: Moonlit Fantasy> - Volume 02 to Volume 04
I have been continuing this series.
Like @NineSwords@ani.social mentions there is some pacing issues but after watching the anime too many times I know the story enough to blank it out. I am hoping for some new content soon.
Would you say that this works better in the LN or the anime?
For example I like the Konosuba anime a lot better than the light novel since the humor hits a lot better. And I could imagine that the Tsukimichi pacing would also work better in an animated format.
I prefer the Anime so far.
There is more humour, some expansion on bits and minor adjustments to the order to make it flow better.
<My Magical Career at Court: Living the Dream After My Nightmare Boss Fired Me from the Mages’ Guild!> Volumes 4,5,6 - more of the same. Not bad, not good either. Perfectly average. Thanos would be a fan.
<Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy - Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Dochu> Volume 01 - After all the positive word of mouth piqued my interest, I tried the first volume of this series as well. I see some strange pacing, and it feels more like a gag reel that is only very loosely tied together by plot. The “filler” is missing. For example, MC is in a mortal fight against a goss level spider and gets knocked out. He wakes up and suddenly he has another follower contract, and the spider is now a girl. He ponders that for all of two sentences before just accepting this as the new normal and switching to the next gag scene where they now do some boke and tsukkomi routine as if they knew each other for years and not just 5 minutes.
<Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for my Retirement> Volumes 8,9 - Both volumes are just regular FUNA doing FUNA things. I feel a bit disappointed in volume 9 since someone close to MC gets stabbed and MC has all that inner monologue about how the kid gloves come off and that she doesn’t care how many get hurt for her revenge, etc., and then she goes out of her way to ensure that in her great revenge, no one gets killed. It’s perfectly in character that MC doesn’t want to kill anyone, but lose the several-page-long spiel about how she will go scorched-earth on the villains.
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:
My Magical Career at Court: Living the Dream After My Nightmare Boss Fired Me from the Mages’ Guild! by J-Novel Club: 🖥️ Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
I couldn’t find a series with the name “Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy - Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Dochu”. 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.
Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement by Kodansha: 📖 Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; 🖥️ Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
