A weird feeling to see my name in a print book. Everything I've ever written/translated up to this point was digital/online-only.

Spent this weekend catching up on Frieren (fell behind when the mage exam arc started). It's no longer the show it was at the start but I won't complain about the fun action!

Right now I'm busy judging stuff for the JNC contest, so my LN backlog is growing. Here's the stuff I wanna read when I finally have time!

Finished J-Novel Club's release of Chivalry of a Failed Knight, volume 1
It's been too long since I read the Sol Press translation, so I can't compare (not much point now, anyway). But I enjoyed experiencing the story again. The horny parts are just as intense as the battles!

Continued my SAO Alicization re-read (volumes 12-14).
This is where the arc ends right? There's no war or shit afterwards. Kirito, Eugeo, and Alice defeat Administrator, and they all live happily ever after.........right??

This discourse makes me feel like a kid discovering the harshness of the adult world for the first time
My country forbids the death penalty and I always grew up instinctively thinking, "I wouldn't personally wish death upon even the worst criminal"
Now I feel like a weirdo 💀

Made a blog post on why Maomao is a detective character for the ages. Step aside, Edogawa Conan!

Caught up with the Apothecary Diaries EN release!
Honestly one of the best-written LNs out there and a joy to read in translation. The pacing in these later volumes really slows down, but you mostly read the series for the endearing character moments and light mysteries

Being a source material reader, the first episode of Sasaki and Peeps was about as dry as I expected it to be. But visually showing how much of a simp Sasaki is for his bird + cute animal videos does a lot to make him endearing.

Apothecary Diaries volume 8:
This volume was a lot of fun until Jinshi did something trash at the end like usual lol.
I liked the MeToo-esque story involving triplets where one of them sexually harassed a girl but no one can figure out which one did it.

When the Delicious in Dungeon manga started going viral, it was novel for having a fantasy foodie theme. Even today, it still stands head and shoulders above the pack.
Marcille being a tsundere for monster food is essential to the charm!

Ishura is one of those rare cases where the anime tells the story significantly better than the light novel. The story is easier to follow, the action and exposition flow nicely, they made Yuno gay-er, and most importantly the fights are REALLY FRICKEN COOL

Someone sent me a long and passionate message on Discord saying I should continue Sasaki and Peeps, so here I am with volume 2. 20% in and it's already better than volume 1 😅

First completed light novel of the new year!
Sasaki and Peeps, volume 1.
This has a lot of different ingredients in the pot: Isekai, psychics, magical girls, 12-year-old girl who wants to be banged by an almost 40-year-old dude (yeah........)

Finished reading Agent of the Four Seasons. I thought I would like it more than I did. The prose was very overwrought (then again, so was Violet Evergarden) and the first volume was just entirely character setup with one lame cliffhanger at the end.
Banger illustrations though

I made a blog post about how Our Dating Story: The Experienced You and The Inexperienced Me is the anti-slut-shaming anime. It's a typical high school romcom, but it's got its heart in the right place!

Phew, this girl is messy. But the depiction of an estranged relationship between sisters might be more interesting than the central romance, actually.

If you ever want to read a book that's basically shoujo Re:Zero crossed with Harry Potter, boy do I have the light novel for you...
Girl dies and goes back in time, desperate to save her boyfriend from also dying, but he's VERY tsundere in the second timeline. Cute stuff!
