Various thoughts on a variety of topics.
The second Nise Seijo book is much like the first. No particular surprises here beyond that it looks like the next entry will cover the last parts of the game’s timeline… potentially being the series’ conclusion.
Maseki Gourmet‘s second novel is also more of the same. That’s most definitely not a positive in this case however, and the character interactions in particular are just purestrain cringe to the point I don’t see any reason to follow it further.
I didn’t really have any expectations going into Maseki Gourmet (English subtitle: eating magical power made me the Strongest!), so it ended up a bit of a pleasant surprise that despite the name there isn’t any notable food focus. Beyond that it’s a fairly by the numbers reincarnation isekai that suffers from a somewhat strange dialog style and a few highly questionable events.
The second Kusushi no Majo novel stays the course the previous one set while laying some groundwork for potential dramatic development down the line. Though it doesn’t do anything particularly exciting, nor does it make any missteps.
