    The Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen! series ends up a bit interesting for combining a reincarnation trope with a time loop. Unfortunately it doesn’t really do much else of note, having relatively low stakes, besides have a pretty fun/cute protagonist. Basically it’s the kind of series you can read off and on while doing other things. It’s really not made for binging.

    The Lily Clairet series is similar in that respect, being a low-stakes slice of life series focused almost entirely on conversational interplay (one reviewer compared it to Bakemonogatari, and that’s fairly apt). Key things to note would be that it’s a natively English LN with a Japanese setting instead of a translated work, there aren’t actually any romance elements (besides some yuri subtext) until the sixth entry, and the protagonist is a near total doormat who lets everyone walk all over her.

    The fifth Shinwa Densetsu novel escalates things by quite a bit. It’s been long hinted that there was something off with the protagonist’s past, and that darkness now appears to be poised to take center stage.

    Moving on, it turned out I was right about one book not being enough to wrap up Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo‘s storyline. This sixth novel only manages to conclude the battle with Felix before quickly moving on (in a painfully contrived manner) to confront the death god behind the scenes and end on a double cliffhanger. It doesn’t really engender much enthusiasm for the finale to be honest.

    Lastly we come to Shinwa Densetsu no Eiyuu no Isekaitan‘s fourth entry. This wraps up (the first part of?) the academy arc before launching the protagonist off into the unknown on a new adventure. I seriously hope it never returns to the academy, as while the setting wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t particularly interesting or meaningful either.
