What light novel(s) have you read last week, and what do you think about it? [May 25 - May 31]
16d 15h ago by ani.social/u/Myne in lightnovels@ani.social<Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table> vol 4 - bit on the aftermath of Cloudy Beach, then a fair amount of time spent following Yuki in the real world, which is a new thing. Then a particularly disturbing game called Halloween Night and the introduction of a new villain.
Started Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table vol 5, but had only made it part way through when I watched the latest episode of Agents of the Four Seasons, which was sort of simultaneously interesting and disappointing. I've been suspecting this for a while, and this episode really drove home the feeling that the adaptation is breezing past details and failing to tell the full story as it was originally told. I was pretty certain the original was an LN, so I looked it up, and sure enough it is (and by Akatsuki Kana, the author of Violet Evergarden, which is a detail I remember learning before the season started, but had since forgotten), so I switched immediately to that - <Agents of the Four Seasons> Vol 1: Dance of Spring Part I. About a quarter of the way through, and already it has gone into more detail, but nothing really significant yet.
Hello Bookworm! I looked it up, and the Library in Alexandria — which just so happens to be the greatest in all of Yurgenschmidt, nay... even the entire world — has the following entries:
Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table by Yen Press: 📖 Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; 🖥️ Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Agents of the Four Seasons by Yen Press: 📖 Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; 🖥️ Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Let me know how Agents of the Four Seasons is when you're finished. I'm interested but the first 2 anime episodes didn't make me pick it up.
Will do.
<In Another World with Household Spells>: Volume 5 by Rika - ★★★☆☆, 168 MynePages™ - First half of the summer vacation arc. Since Patience is spending more time with her brothers, her obsession with them is in full force again, though.
<Isekai Walking>: Volume 6 Eld Republic Arc by arukuhito - ★★★☆☆, 195 MynePages™ - It's one of those where everything could be prevented if the guy with the all-powerful analyze/appraisal skill would use it once in a while.
<A Livid Lady’s Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with My Mighty Grimoires> Volume 7 by Hagure Metabo - ★★★☆☆, 131 MynePages™ - A weaker volume in the series, but the afterword makes it sound as if this was intentional, and this volume served as the prologue for the next volume.
<The Abandoned Reincarnation Sage: Building a Mighty Empire of Monsters Within the Monsters' Forest.> - Volume 04 by Miraizin A - ★★☆☆☆, 151 MynePages™ - MC goes on the offensive with a group of Beresdahl elites. Most of the volume is just one fighting scene after the other. Might be interesting if this gets an anime adaptation, but as a book it's utterly boring to read.
