Hey Bookworms! Last week I once again read nothing, but I have good reason!
You see, I’m writing my own LN.
Please check it out, maybe? uwu
I swear I’ll get back to finishing Average Abilities isekai soon though.
Can you also share an epub? I got formatting issues on my reader with PDFs.I started reading a bit. I like the status window.
Notes: Tastes mildly of citrus.
Edit: just finished it. Didn’t realize it wasnt a volume. I’ll post my thoughts soon. EPubs are still nice for sharing IMO.
First, thanks for reading it! Yeah, it’s not a full volume (yet). I wanted to get a bit of feedback because I was hitting some doubts.
I’ll do an epub format in the future though, thanks for the feedback!
Check out scrivener if you haven’t yet!
Good luck!
That’s what I’m using! Its so good!
<Blade Skill Online: Crushing the Competition with My Abysmal Stats, Useless Class, and Garbage Weapon!> volume 1-4 completed
The MC is bullied meathead boy that gets gender bended into a hot girl character after hitting random.
Why did I read this? Why did I finish it?
I think I mainly enjoyed the underdog story of a MMO player trying to make a broken build work. The AI running the game automatically and basically bugging out. Game mechanics are combined in odd ways to make a functional build and become OP. Then Devs react. Patch notes and all. The community reactions to the dumb build actually working.
Ending was pretty decent I’d say.
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:
Blade Skill Online: Crushing the Competition with My Abysmal Stats, Useless Class, and Garbage Weapon! by J-Novel Club: 🖥️ Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4
<The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life> Volumes 1-6 (Completed)
Finally not an isekai. MC has zero combat ability. If you enjoy crafting themed stories this is a good one. I enjoyed the characters and world building. Solid ending too.
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:
The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life by Yen Press: 📖 Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; 🖥️ Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
<From Villainess to Healer> Volumes 1-6 (ongoing)
Its a female hardcore gamer that gets pulled into the world of the MMO.
She uses her knowledge to become an adventurer, switch classes to a healer, become powerful (mainly pure support) and travel the world.
What’s interesting in game based isekai are how game systems are implemented and how accurate the world is to the game with NPCs/Events.
Seems like the status screen, quests and events exist for everyone but no one understands all the pieces. So people have professions like warrior and mage but no concept of proper builds. Ommiting extra spoilers here.
Then comes a hardcore gamer…
<I shall survive using potions>
Female protagonist. I’m pretty sick of the mainstream shonen power isekai so I’m jumping around female protagonist stories. Asendance of a bookworm was such a joy.
Starts as a granted power isekai. OP just wants a slow life but gets a power to make potions in a world with basically no magic so she’s chased for her healing potions.
Best part is the MC isn’t some scared timid little girl. She’s fairly smart and gets revenge on people who try to take advantage of her. At the same time she chose potion creation as her power because she wants to help people.
Then she tries to sneakily help people which causes nobles/merchants to hunt her down. It’s a vicious cycle and quite entertaining.
Finished volume 11. They went through a time skip and got a bit of a reset on her being chased for her potions. But once again she can’t live staying under the radar and almost immediately starts getting hunted for potions / money.
WElcome to the FUNA Fan CLub.
FUNA?
You read through 11 volumes without learning the author’s name?
Author. Gotcha.
I binged it in 3 days.
I’ve also read maybe 4 series in two weeks…
I really enjoy FUNA’s writing style.
The MC makes some dumb choices but thats just her quirk and it leads to fun outcomes. She’s also stubborn with her physical appearance. I understand her stance in not permanently changing her physical appearance.
She really should temporarily change her height or age when she disguises herself to aid in hiding. Just needs a dress that goes down to her ankles that still fits to her knees when she gains height.I really enjoy when the MC rampages. Piss her off and you’re in for a world of hurt. Not many novels show the wrath of a woman. Be nice and you’ll be gifted many times over. Be evil she ruins the lives of the corrupt nobels/merchants.
How do you remember the authors?
I can only remember FUNA. I can’t even remember AOAB or Death Marchs authors.
I only remember the authors of recurring series that I liked enough to keep reading. I only recognize authors of series with 2-3 volumes if they have another long-running series from which I know the name. Or if the name stands out somehow. For example, I’m currently reading Min-Maxing My TRPG Build and I know the author’s name not only because it’s a long-running series that I like but also because he uses a German word as his handle. Stuff like that. On the flip side, I have problems remembering the names of authors that have a generic Japanese-sounding name. That’s how I almost walked into the trap of reading Dimension Wave even though it’s from the Shield Hero writer.
Yeah, that’s pretty much my thing too. And if they have a really short pen name, it really sticks. That’s how I remember people like Llo (Reincarnated as a Sword artist) and FUNA… names so short they’re easy to remember and skill that sticks out. The two is basically brain glue that makes it stick. Although I keep trying to call FUNA “YUNA” for some reason. /shrug

You’re reading the wrong series.

<TsukiMichi: Moonlit Fantasy> - Volume 05 to Volume 06
I have been continuing this series.
How does it compare to the anime? I really like the anime even though it’s undoubtedly silly.
So far Anime is winning.
I am on volume 07 chapter 6, the tournaments solo battles have just concluded.
There has been very minor new details, mostly it feels like bits the anime didn’t manage to fit dialogue for. (E.g. that only those over 90 can’t use their normal gear in the tournament, princess lily’s actual intentions, Lutos previous partners, Forest Ogres using tree execution on Makato during the long hand holding. (Don’t tell Mio))
There’s been no major changes or revelations.
But I have been enjoying it. I would say it’s been worth it for the extra tidbits.
<Taking My Reincarnation One Step at a Time: No One Told Me There Would Be Monsters!> Volume 9 - This was a departure from the first 8 volumes in the sense that MC has now grown up and is leaving the nest, so to speak. She is moving away from her guardians and becoming something of a guardian to another isekai girl herself. I think this shift in perspective is potentially a good thing for the series. This volume was quite weak when I think about how emotional and impactful this could have been if handled differently. Here, this huge step is handled like stepping out for a quick trip to the supermarket.
I read this series too. It’s a fun ride. Finally a splash of romance and forshadowing for the future as the MC grows up.
