Finished Adabana vol 1 last night.
It was really good! Like dang! Every character was compelling. I'm invested in the case itself and have a guess at what happened between Mako and Mizuki.
I'm looking forward to vol 2!

I think I'm done with Cliff Empire. While I'm at the endgame, I felt like the Ice Citadel (final area) doesn't provide enough new things to build it up compared to the orbital station.
It's like doing a new cliff again.

Someone in the rpg_gamer subreddit asked whether people in that subreddit prefer JRPG style or WRPG style games.
While it was insightful on the subreddit's breakdown, the overall sentiments in that thread about JRPGs followed the negative stereotypes perpetrated since early 2000s 😢

Read The Hitman Stans vol 1. 🙂
It was funnier than I expected!
Reminds me of The Fable, not because both are hitmen (well, former), but the comedy delivery is similar (although I'd say Stans is more slapstick than Fable).

So I'm making a lot of progress in Cliff Empire.
Right now, I'm stuck trying to maintain the mental health of the people in the orbital station.
Also, the Steam discussions on this game are pretty...confrontational 😅

Finished Nue's Exorcist vols 2 & 3.
Other than feeling some of the things are a "seen it before" feel, I think my biggest issue with the series is that Nue progresses the plot in a way where Gakuro (and the side chars) doesn't have autonomy. He just does as he's told
