Bookworm week!

Has anyone read The Worlds Strongest Witch? Just noticed it and from the description it gives me a Making Magic / Average Ability Vibe

Has anyone read The Worlds Strongest Witch?

Yeah, I have. Here's what I wrote about it back at the time:

One of those "somehow our entire fantasy society is based on skill ranks using earth terminology but everyone thinks 'S Rank' is the worst because it's so far down the alphabet, so I get left to die by my parents because that's totally normal parenting behaviour, but it turns out S-Rank actually means it's good!" type of stories. I'm groaning so much reading this, my neighbors started cheering for my stamina. There is a certain charm to it, though. It reminds me of the good old days before I stopped reading web novels for the lack of quality. This book here is riddled with so many logical and temporal errors that it should never have reached the point where it got picked up for publication and stayed in WN territory. It's ridiculous, really. Like the editor just threw in the towel and said "yeah, whatever...just release it".

I haven't read the LN, but the manga is a ton of fun and is a community favorite over on manga@ani.aocial. The premise is silly, sure, but the humor is very good. Part of that might be because it kind of lends itself to visual gags, so that they translate better in manga form. Basically, Rona is granted the power of Google, and is under the conception that the internet is written by the Gods...all of the internet. That means she reads everything she finds 100% straight; forum trolls, advertisements, everything. The other side of this is that when she looks up information about the world that she is in (a video game world), she often finds discussion forums talking about game bugs or cheese strategies that play out in very silly ways from the perspective of the people around her.

Part of that might be because it kind of lends itself to visual gags, so that they translate better in manga form.

I can absolutely see that.

Oh wow. What a week. Bookworm, Setsuna, Frontier Lord and Zilbagias.
