You missed the best ones.

that stupid fuck who mods the community thought that they were the sign used by a secret society.

They’re not? My secret society has been using them wrong for all this time?

Now I feel stupid.

Wingdings or nothing!

I have been using Montserrat as I found it the easiest to read at the moment.

But for style I do like little squigglies / fancy first letter art (can’t remember its name)

feel accomplished

I do when I manage to survive another day.

<Saving 80000 Gold in another world for my retirement - Volume 01>

I finally got round to reading the 3rd FUNA series

I was debating posting in books instead as this volume is not a Light Novel, my e-reader said 877 pages.

Now without further ado…

Welcome to FUNAFUNA World!

^Saving 80000 Gold in another world for my retirement - Volume 01 - Afterword 1^

It’s typical FUNA young small girl, overpowered, different world.

We also have the fawning of little girls and wanting animal ears.

They had a seven-year-old daughter who noticeably lacked cat ears, and what a shame that was.

^Saving 80000 Gold in another world for my retirement - Volume 01 - Chapter 06^

FUNA seems to want to make you cry for animals that attack first in this volume

She’d worked so hard to raise them, and they were so close to adulthood, but now she had lost them to clawless, fangless, furless practice prey.

Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Kill. Kill. Kill. KILL, was all that went on in the mother wolf’s mind as she charged toward Mitsuha.

……

If the wolf had been capable of human thought, it would have been losing its mind to panic.

What is this thing on me? Prey? No! It’s something else! Disgusting! Scary! What is this?! What’s happening?! No, no, no! Help! Hel─

^Saving 80000 Gold in another world for my retirement - Volume 01 - Chapter 02^

Their companion was shell-shocked, unable to move. The two smaller dragons gushed blood from their wounds as they began to crawl, inching their marred bodies toward one another. Once within reach, they extended their forelegs and brought them together in an intimate gesture. Shortly after, they stopped moving for all eternity.

^Saving 80000 Gold in another world for my retirement - Volume 01 - Chapter 14^

Also who knew FUNA did so much.

Having lived everywhere from Okinawa to Hokkaido, FUNA has worn the hats of amateur wireless operator, small boat sailor, and weather forecaster (not to mention seemingly being involved in aviation and the development and application of marine meteorological analysis systems, flying small aircraft, shooting guns, etc etc). What a weirdo.

It was a fun read, if you like Average Abilities or Surving on Potions this is for you.

for some of them I just need to know the ending.

If you just want to know what happens maybe you could find a review or video that goes through the series.

I haven’t read Apothecary Diaries yet, but I can imagine that if they’re written from Maomao’s perspective, then it’s not surprising if it’s very simple, because her personality that I know from the anime is very dry.

Good point I didn’t think of that.

Death March to a Parallel World

I binge read volumes 1-9 so I paused it for a bit and came back. After pausing and reading something else I came back and caught up the whole series.

It’s a great series, would recommend

Reincarnated as a sword

At first I couldn’t get into it. I ended up listening to the audiobooks up to where the anime ended and then continuing from there. It took a bit longer until I was sucked into the story and pulled along.

I have stopped again as there was about 3 fight scenes in a row and it just got too much. I will probably try to pick it up again soon.

Apothecary diaries

The writing seems too simplistic. It doesn’t give any depth just maomao doing maomao things. No describing the world or characters just maomao did this, that, the other.

I would love to read it I really enjoy the anime but it is just dragging. I am not sure how to get past this one. I might try reading the volumes which continue after the anime to see if new content gets me into it.

I think @NineSwords@ani.social should be replaced with TenSwords.

Surely 10 is better than 9?

I haven’t finished any LNs but I read a few chapters from <The Apothecary Diaries>. Has anyone read it? I have tried several times but I just can’t get into it. The writing just seems too simplistic and lacks detail.

I finished the 2nd season of the anime this week and it hooked me again. It’s one of the ones I would like to read, but it just can’t get into.

Yeah, I saw it in my feed and it reminded me of it.

It’s all the same. Koro-Sensei destroyed all moons.

Every time you see it, it is because of Koro-Sensei destroying the moon.

It’s because Koro-Sensei destroyed that half of the moon.

I still haven’t had the guts to watch assassination classroom a second time. The end killed me.

Are we sure @NineSwords@ani.social isn’t writing this themselves?

!writingprompt: NineSwords has been transformed into a shumil from ascendance of a bookworm. wjs018 and ludrol are hunting NineSword for dinner. Write a story which ends in either the shumil being eaten for dinner or getting away free. Remember Myne always makes a surprise appearances in the stories.

Some interesting sounding ones.

My list:

LN -

The accursed chef and his pair of fluffy foodies

The goddess says “kill the tsundere witch”

Manga -

Looks like a job for a maid! The tales of a dismissed super maid

There is only 1 correct answer!

What’s so frustrating is that I cannot find any info on a second volume.

Just had a look and can’t see a second volume on Japanese Amazon or Japanese Kadokawa but the original was release 17th Feb 2023.

Bad omen or do they know something we don’t? Surely they can get our hopes up and leave us?
