  • Homunculus Tears & The Strange Adventure of a Broke MERCENARY #11

    Posted on April 29, 2025 11:05 am by Offkorn Comment

    I had to drop the Homunculus Tears novel (subtitle: Alchemy for the Brokenhearted) halfway through. It’s just so painfully overloaded with both forced sentimentality and forced fanservice. Basically nothing redeeming about it.

    Something else I ended up dropping was the eleventh Kuitsume Youhei novel, which features the protagonists acting like complete idiots. They’ve experienced mind control before! Why are they so baffled about the people in this village not acting normally? When the animal companion is the smartest person in your party something has gone very, very wrong.

  • I’m in Love with the Villainess #1-2 & Chillin’ in Another World #8

    Posted on January 14, 2023 2:07 pm by Offkorn Comment

    The Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou. -Revolution- series starts off as a pretty standard otome game parody. Only odd thing being that the male characters don’t show much interest in the heroine (who’s aggressively pursuing the villainess). That first book is pretty heavily focused toward comedy, which works more often than not, the second… the second however swerves into pretty serious social justice-tinged drama and romance territory (while keeping the same style of comedy as a subtheme). It’s an odd mix that never manages to feel like a coherent whole.

    The eighth Lv 2 kara Cheat novel basically stays the course charted by the previous seven. Everyone’s pretty much just hanging out and having a good time with no noteworthy conflicts in sight. Only thing worth pointing out I suppose is that the series isn’t shy about spreading the power around; the protagonist’s allies are plenty overpowered themselves. Oh, and I guess it is a bit odd that the number of side characters with harems keeps increasing.

    Not sure how long I’ll keep following it though, as both the Belano/Minilio and Garyl/queen relationships look like they’ll be getting greater focus in the future.
