Updated the OP to version 0.26.0

This update adds four new edited volumes:

AOAB Manga P2V10 and P3V5 Dahlia in Bloom V11 The Blue Sea of Marielle Clarac

The Ascendance of a Bookworm (Light Novel) omnibus is now also available through this UI for the first time! However, this only contains my reference version, and does not allow for the same level of customisation as Ascendance of a Bookworm's separate omnibus builder.

Every time this book implies there's a bunch of six year olds running this country, I think the entire story is happening inside one of those kid cities.

Poor Inglis. That's such a harsh reason for her to lose out on a strong opponent.

@TheGrimLich Fully aware that this is reading into it a bit too much, but I do like the commentary on the relationship between humanity and tools. A dull tool, even in the hand of an expert can produce lackluster results, but when tools start to get too good, they can dull their user's ability as well. That's one reason Ricardo chooses not to use Tsubaki's curse too much.

It's a good reminder that technologies such as generative AI are tools, and over reliance on such tools in our everyday life can dull our creativity. We can't give in to the curse!

@Geezer-Weasalopes No, and I almost could fill a bingo card with all the stuff that got dropped in this part like...

Mom and Eri are old friends Eri is (sort of) invited to go back to heaven Eri doesn't want to go back to Heaven. She's got something (someone?) more interesting here. Eugene gets his cluelessness from his parents as they both bought into Eugene's hastily thrown together lie Eri didnt throw Eugene under the proverbial bus Eugene is quite aware that his relationship with Eri is more serious than "just a girlfriend"

Now since it is firmly established that angels and humans can make babies together, will Eri, who now knows her lover/de facto husband is half-angel, suddenly get the itch to have a child of her own?

they drew Rosaria without her drill hair, took me a sec to tell her from Vera-Sylvie

and noticed how Carmine hasn't spoken informally around Rosaria like he did with Timona yet.

@Hylebos
She doesn't just give us alternate views of the same things, it's often views of different things. And when it's views of the same things, the characters have hilariously different interpretations of what's happening. Like it never occurs to Richard to tell Elizabeth that he's Diana's brother.

Europa almost tricked Evelyn into kissing her. Gonna need to keep a closer eye on that one.

@heimdal7 said in Water Magician Arc 1 Vol. 6 Discussion:

I'm hoping Ryo knocks the airship out of the air with some giant ice spikes from the ground or crushes it with ice blocks.

20 or more magic division troops should have something to say about that?

The empire troops are in for a nasty surprise not knowing people like Abel,Ryo, and Sera are down there to meet them. Ryo alone could instantly kill all of their troops at once basically.

Has there been any mention of if this world does S-tier (which would obviously be Ryo to Abel's A-tier)?

Sera is obviously s tier even ig she hasn't bothered to do the actual rank ups.
she soloed a devil general while severlly nerfed and yet able couldn't do anything against a prince what is weaker and he was at top form along with support.

I thought I typed out a whole comment previously - but somehow it vanished (did I forget to post? ) anyway :

what is the cultural reference/ trope I am missing ? both in this series and in Easygoing Territory Defense (anime on winter 2026 season now) the Shotacon Maid, the Father that values only combat, the precocious village builder, his envious(step?) brother - the similarities are so striking that I thought they were the SAME series! I mean I get the references to mobile games about village /kingdom building (and SimCity) but what is with the rest?

I'm on the fence too but I'll give it another volume. It feels a bit like Misfit of Demon King Academy without the 50000 spell/place names.

Oh man, that was truly effective torture. Just reading it made me squirm in discomfort and cringe. I would honestly rather have a fingernail removed.

They want a nice girl like Stella to make friends with the yandere? Not a good idea.

Yet another power today. That's four now. And a nursery for angels and demons.

Thankfully the hotspots didn't multiply today.

Classic battle shounen. Bringing back pretty much every major opponent except here as an ally.

Just like Demeter implies of herself, Hollyhope is apparently very good at lying when she needs to be. She told Demi that she was getting a bit burnt out, and that she wanted her to fill in as goddess while she took a vacation. In reality, she had exhausted all her power and options, and summoning Demi was a hail-Mary play in the hope that Demi might find a solution somehow while Hollyhope fell into a coma. She just couldn't tell Demi anything because whatever solution might exist is outside of the world's logic, so biasing Demi's thoughts might prevent her from finding the answer.

@TheGrimLich Agreed. At one point I thought that Nicholas might even be yet another transmigrator, but if he is misunderstanding Angelina this much then I guess he probably isn't after all.

We went from a bunny girl costume to a fight to the death...but the cliffhanger was terrible.

So the illustration showed an old friend/ex-compadre of Rouga, eh? All I can say is...
A++++++++++.
