Disciple of the Lich: Or How I Was Cursed by the Gods and Dropped Into the Abyss! v1-v2: This is a departure from your standard isekai, as our hero is dumped to die in a fantasy world greated by the Gods for their amusement (humans are regularly inserted into this world and messed around with in...

Peddler in Another World: I Can Go Back to My World Whenever I Want! v1: A young man finds a door to a fantasy world in his grandmother's old house and starts selling common items from Japan into this world. Moderately intersting premise. Some nice elements, but I find the whole buy stuff cheap...

The Accursed Chef and His Pair of Furry Foodies v1: bit of a darker isekai here, as our hero is reincarnated into a world where his dirt-poor mercenary parents only had him so they could sell him into slavery when he turns 5. Luckily (?) they are killed and Thor is forced to fend for himself at...

Well, there goes my AL membership, I suppose. It's my own fault for choosing to move to France. :-(

I can't wait to find out what I can get once I move to France next month. Luckily I have a large back catalogue to plough through.

Foolishly I have started two new light novel series. The first, called Making Magic: The Sweet Life of a Witch Who Knows an Infinite MP Loophole, is a fun take on the isekai story, as the protagonist Chise can't remember anything about her former life (incuding gender, life, or age and manner of...

Flung into a New World? Time to Lift the 200-Year Curse! v1: odd book, as almost the entire novel is a monologue, as he can't understand the beasts he has tamed and he has not yet encountered any humans, as he emerged in this new world in the middle of a huge forest. He seems to have limitless...

The Bladesmith’s Enchanted Weapons: It claims to be volume 1, but reads very much as a stand-alone. The plot in a nutshell is a young unaffiliated blacksmith specialising in making the katana finds love and creates some magical blades for the nobility. Lots of references to the individual parts...

Humble Bundle has a bunch of anime related games in their latest sale. https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/autumn-allies/?mcID=102:690d2b9d4025a3633f0a3fcb:ot:633b366e10a508e927d70859:1&linkID=690d39ad3bbc2c7b7a09b19a

A Cozy Life in the Woods with the White Witch. Just the one volume. Deals with a very slovenly but super powerful witch who hires an adventurer who has been kicked out of his team as all he can do is cook and clean(!). Nice little love story, no big surprises, and a happy ending. Can't see this...

I've been digitising my DVD collection (moving to France next month - don't ask) and so far the SAVE sets have worked fine. Haven't checked some, including the Tsubasa discs, yet but I hope they'll be OK too. I've gone through a couple of hundred discs (not all anime) and only a couple have been...

Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter v2-v7: The main story, which was very entertaining, ended after v5, and now we have a three volume backstory of Iris's mother as a youngster. It has certainly been a fun ride, but I do feel sad that there are very few nobles in this world who could live up...

I'd hate to be one of those smug gits who say "I told you so", but even I wasn't expecting the number of stuff-ups. It's like there's no quality control.

Sorry, here's shots of the front and back of the box. Spot the difference!

Look what just arrived at my doorstep. Pity about the huge blank space in the box (for the booklet, I assume).
