  • <Saving 80000 Gold in another world for my retirement - Volume 01>

    I finally got round to reading the 3rd FUNA series

    I was debating posting in books instead as this volume is not a Light Novel, my e-reader said 877 pages.

    Now without further ado…

    Welcome to FUNAFUNA World!

    ^Saving 80000 Gold in another world for my retirement - Volume 01 - Afterword 1^


    It’s typical FUNA young small girl, overpowered, different world.

    We also have the fawning of little girls and wanting animal ears.

    They had a seven-year-old daughter who noticeably lacked cat ears, and what a shame that was.

    FUNA seems to want to make you cry for animals that attack first in this volume

    She’d worked so hard to raise them, and they were so close to adulthood, but now she had lost them to clawless, fangless, furless practice prey.

    Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Kill. Kill. Kill. KILL, was all that went on in the mother wolf’s mind as she charged toward Mitsuha.

    ……

    If the wolf had been capable of human thought, it would have been losing its mind to panic.

    What is this thing on me? Prey? No! It’s something else! Disgusting! Scary! What is this?! What’s happening?! No, no, no! Help! Hel─

    Their companion was shell-shocked, unable to move. The two smaller dragons gushed blood from their wounds as they began to crawl, inching their marred bodies toward one another. Once within reach, they extended their forelegs and brought them together in an intimate gesture. Shortly after, they stopped moving for all eternity.

    Also who knew FUNA did so much.

    Having lived everywhere from Okinawa to Hokkaido, FUNA has worn the hats of amateur wireless operator, small boat sailor, and weather forecaster (not to mention seemingly being involved in aviation and the development and application of marine meteorological analysis systems, flying small aircraft, shooting guns, etc etc). What a weirdo.

    It was a fun read, if you like Average Abilities or Surving on Potions this is for you.






  • Death March to a Parallel World

    I binge read volumes 1-9 so I paused it for a bit and came back. After pausing and reading something else I came back and caught up the whole series.

    It’s a great series, would recommend


    Reincarnated as a sword

    At first I couldn’t get into it. I ended up listening to the audiobooks up to where the anime ended and then continuing from there. It took a bit longer until I was sucked into the story and pulled along.

    I have stopped again as there was about 3 fight scenes in a row and it just got too much. I will probably try to pick it up again soon.


    Apothecary diaries

    The writing seems too simplistic. It doesn’t give any depth just maomao doing maomao things. No describing the world or characters just maomao did this, that, the other.

    I would love to read it I really enjoy the anime but it is just dragging. I am not sure how to get past this one. I might try reading the volumes which continue after the anime to see if new content gets me into it.
