I'm Not the Hero! - if you like From Villainess to Healer this has some of the same "using game knowledge" feel as FVtH volume 1, but in a darker setting. What we have is worth reading and hopefully we'll get another volume someday.
I'm always bothered by the apostrophe in Knight's and's Magic's and I bounced off of volume 1, but I did enjoy the anime so I might try again on catch-up
Private Tutor has a cute cast, interesting magic and some good stories, but it's hard for me to overlook the abusive relationship of the main couple.
-
What sort of romance does the fiance one have? I looked around a bit but only found general generic tags about it like "shoujo" and fantasy lol
-
I'll try Capped at level 1, for some reasons I find it harder to follow manga on JNC compared to LN and I missed it when it came out.
-
Anime of Duke's Daughter is entertaining, so I'll give the LN a try
-
I'm struggling early on with fiancee no more. The dudes all suck so much!
