Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon Volume 1 Review

Here are my thoughts on @yenpress release of Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon Vol 1

Ever since I started writing the light novel reviews for the blog I had always seen this series recommend to me. So, I did some research and saw that there is a lot of hype for this series and now I know why. The story takes place in the fantasy town of Orario. You follow a boy named Bell as he tries to answer the age-old question of “Is it Wong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon”. It is a fantasy…

Konosuba God's Blessing On This Wonderful World Volume 4 Review

Here are my thoughts on @yenpress release of Konosuba Volume 4.

There are only a couple of series that I truly look forward to throughout the year. And I have to say that Konosuba is one of them. There have been comedy series that have tried to get a laugh out of the reader by using the same old jokes or by have the characters act completely idiotic. Konosuba has found the right balance between the two, keeping the reader entertained and by having the…

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest Volume 4 Review

Here are my thoughts on @jnovelclub release of Arifureta Vol 4.

When I reviewed the first three volumes I was afraid that the series was moving toward a more stereotypical isekai, and I could not have been more wrong. Volume four takes place directly after the events of the previous volume. Hajime and his party head back to the city of Fuhren to drop of Will. While they were walking around the town Hajime and Shea find a little girl in the sewers and decide…

Sword Art Online Volume 11 Review

Here are my thoughts on @yenpress release of Sword Art Online Vol 11. Great character growth with a interesting turn.

With the end of Sword Art Online volume 11, the series took a turn that I was not expecting. This volume takes place directly after the events of volume 10. We follow Eurgo and Kirito as they continue the sword academy and trying for the titles of Integrity Knights. And during this time Kirito and Eurgo both get their own “pages”, or better known as disciples. Along with all of that we also get…

How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Volume 4 Review

Here are my thoughts on @jnovelclub release of How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Vol 4.

Written By: Dojyomaru, Illustrated By: Fuyuyuki, Translated By: Sean McCann, English Release By: J-Novel Club When I saw that there was a new volume in this series I was excited and nervous at the same time. I was excited because I love the world and the characters that Dojyomaru built, but I was nervous because there is a harem that is being built and it does not mesh well with the story. So, I…
