    <Goodbye, Horrible Fiancé, Hello, Fun Magic School Life!> vol 1 - The Protagonist has so much plot armor that plot gave up and stopped trying to throw a spanner in the works. The are no stakes here. Even slice of life has more inconsequential stakes than this novel. I don’t recommend it.

    On th other hand <Altina the Sword Princess> vol1 is great. Protagonist is a bottom rung officer that is sent to remote fortress to work there, where he meets Titular Princess. The only bit of magic is how she can wield comically large sword. In the oversaturation of isekai it’s quite refreshing read. The romantic duo isn’t anything new but they are written well enough. I would label this as adventure - romcom and as I like all adventures I like this.

    <Saving 80,000 Gold for my retirement> - Volume 09

    Another busy volume. I don’t know how Mitsuha has time to do it all.

    FUNAs identity has been leaked. They are clearly the CEO of Epson

    Epson’s all-in-one ink tank printers are reliable and cost effective! Best purchase ever!

    I am little concerned they didn’t mention Average Abilities in the after word.

    Please continue to support Saving 80K and its sister series, I Shall Survive Using Potions!

    <Making Magic: The Sweet Life of a Witch Who Knows an Infinite MP Loophole> Volume 9 - Nitpicking a bit here, but I wish the “twist” was a bit less projected. Another nitpick is that the ruler of a neighboring kingdom demanded a fee from MC to recognize her as the ruler of her literally God-given domain. Sure, buddy, let’s demand a fee from an immortal being that could wipe out your entire nation without breaking a sweat. Sounds like a great idea.

    <In Another World with Household Spells> Volume 4 - Good and entertaining volume, but it gets a bit heavy on the whole shotacon thing again. I thought we were past that.
