Hanashi marches on
-
Hanashi continues to release new volumes at a decent pace.
- Hanashi released Fruit of Evolution volume 10 today
- Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy v. 4 will release at the end of next month
- Another World Survival is complete with v. 8
- My Pet is a Saintess v. 3 is out
- Observation Records of My Fiancée v. 1 is out
- They also have some 1-2 volume releases like Half Spirit and Dark Guildmaster
Congrats to Hanashi for bringing us a nice collection of LNs including AlphaPolis LNs, and offering DRM-free versions through their own store.
JNC readers of Lady Albert might want to give the sample chapter for Observation Records a read since it is a little bit similar, except the too-nice-wannabe-villainess is described from the POV of the prince.

Disclaimer: nope, I have no connection to the publisher except as a reader wishing them well so I have more books to read :)

They just announced some bundle deals in their discord: https://discord.com/channels/900810184434270279/900810184434270282/1302829809659019284
DRM-free in the Hanashi store, 25% off list:
Fruit of Evolution bundle of 1-9 - https://store.hanashi.media/product/the-fruit-of-evolution-1to9-bundle-25-off/
If you watched the anime, season 1 was faithful to the LN and didn't lose much of the humor. Season 2 was a mess where the writers dropped characters, changed events, and they skipped most of the fun humor and substituted their own slapstick gags. The LNs are so much better.
Another World Survival - complete series - https://store.hanashi.media/product/another-world-survival-light-novel-complete-saga-bundle/
This is a bit gory, there is some monster sexual assault (treated as horror and not going into much detail), and there is some teen sex though nothing like Loner Life where it became approximately 28.57% of the content. It has some dark moments but in the end it's lighter than JNC's Monster Tamer. I recommend it, but you could get a sample chapter from one of the stores like Amazon. Also note there is a logical reason for some of the game-like elements, but you won't find out until near the end.
Half Spirit & Blue Moon (Oneshots Bundle) - https://store.hanashi.media/product/half-spirit-blue-moon-oneshots-bundle-25-off/
I haven't read these yet.

@HarmlessDave
Blue Moon is really really good.
To describe just how well done it is would be far too spoilerific for words, so no words being provided.
Just...you really should check it out.
Really. -
@Geezer-Weasalopes - thanks, I bought it when it came out but it's been sitting in my virtual to-read pile. Besides prepubs I'm reading JNC's Goblin Maiden v1 now (sweet :) ) but I'll try it next.

Quick bump to let people know that the 25% off bundles are good for a few more days, ending November 30.
Also, if you watched season 2 of the Fruit anime I'll say again the LNs are so much better with actual humor and some warmth instead of the witless slapstick and poop jokes the anime substituted instead.

It does help if you enjoy Douglas Adam's style of humor, or Terry Pratchett perhaps?
