Sworded Affair
A post-apocalyptic System story that alternates between open-world urban fantasy and game-like dungeon clearing, featuring an emotionally detached ‘true neutral’ protagonist (doesn’t play favorites, will do anything if there’s an acceptable reward). While the whole tower climbing segment goes on for far too long, and the current time palace one is heading in the same direction, the open-world segments and character interactions are a ton of fun.
More to Love
A ‘trapped in a game’ story with the twist of being isekai’d into a side character’s body with no knowledge of the game in question. While the pacing’s overly rushed from the point of her awakening through the introduction of the third love interest, it settles down admirably afterward into a nice mix of comedy and drama with occasional spurts of action.
The Spider Dilemma
I went into this expecting a monster reincarnation story and instead got a three-way unrelated protagonist split with two of them having nothing to do with spiders. It’s not bad by any stretch, just not the kind of story I was looking for.
The Holy Fool: Darkness & Hellfire
The beginning is rough. All the misunderstandings and struggle to find money/housing or learn basic setting aspects is not something I’m interested in and after 14 chapters of that I had to tap out.
TRINITY OF MAGIC
The first two books are an academy arc, with the first focused on education while the second is on combat, and that second one is basically a complete waste of time. Events could have very easily advanced from the end of the first to the start of the third without all the repetition and questionable developments of the second. Which brings us to the series’ main issue: The author seems to have a rigid checklist of events they’re deadset on including regardless of how little sense they make in relation to either earlier developments or the various characters’ actions/statements.
