Mine is still sitting on the bench next to my media players. I really should play it sometime soon. :)

Ascendance of a Bookwork: Hannelore's Fifth Year v1-v2: Well, I wasn't wrong about all the boys wanting to marry Hannelore, but I wasn't expecting the Gods to interfere OR for quite so much politicking. It all seems to be getting ridiculously out of hand and I think Hannelore should just run...

Loner Life in Another World complete series: My Sentai sale items arrived and this was the first off the blocks. Generic isekai scenario, where an entire classroom is sucked into a fantasy world thanks to the appearance of a (never explained) magical circle. One, our hero, tries to hide but this...

I just remembered why I hated Viabox. The $35 option is only available to people who take out a $16 monthly subscription. The cheapest option for me was $108!

I contacted Viabox customer service on Monday, and they suddenly found my package on Tuesday. Wonder where it was was the last two weeks? Then I tried to ship it. Cheapest post option was $35 (Stackry last week was $25) and somehow, despite my not using Viabox since two houses and a different...

So I’m a Spider, So What? v2-v16: Well, that was fun and full of surprises and crazy battles. From about volume 6 on, the story goes back ten years and recounts what happened from other perspectives, leaving the big battle to resume around volume 13, I think. I just worked out it was only six...

I'll give Viabox another week to remember they have a parcel for me, and then look at the other options.

An embarrassing story: Made two orders this month, one from Sentai and one from DeepDiscount. In between the two orders I received an email from Viabox about still having an "open locker". For some reason, this caused me to use that email to add my address to the second order, while the first...

Finally succumbed to the Sentai sale and bought my first discs for the year: Loner Life in Another World Complete Collection, Hidamari Sketch: Graduation OVA Collection and Onipan! I'm hoping the Hidamari Sketch OVAs aren't included in the Perfect Collection. They were released 3 years after...

Well, they addressed my query later in v1 of Reborn as a Vending Machine, so I suppose I should apologise for doubting the author. I may continue the series at some point. Started Woof Woof Story: I Told You to Turn Me Into a Pampered Pooch, Not Fenrir!, but the writing style was putting me...

Halfway through v1 of Reborn as a Vending Machine and I'm starting to worry about the fact that the vending machine (Boxxu?) is powered by coins. Doesn't this mean they are being completely removed from the economy, rather than circulated? Not a good thing for a small village on a level deep in...

The Magician Who Rose From Failure v1-v6: Generally enjoyable isekai, which started as our six-year-old hero only receiving the memories (none of the personality) of a Japanese person. This has gradually changed as, by volume 5, he is starting to crave and recreate the usual Japanese food and...

My Next Life As A Villianness: All Routes Lead To Doom v2: it was a fun conclusion that followed the anime and, despite it stating "The end" at the end, there are apparently a bunch more written. I tried reading V3 but it looked like the same story just dragging on and there is only so much of a...

Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 5 Vol 1-12: Finally I have finished (the main arc)! 33 300+ page books telling the tale of a a young girl making her way up in the world. V6 of this part was a look back at how far Myne has come, as they prepare to move forward. Then it's a rollercoaster ride to the...

Tried to make an order but was advised at the checkout that they don't ship to France. So much for using my membership for one last discounted order. The FAQs state they DO ship to "many countries".
