        @sinnoaria Have you tryed Kindle quick reading ?
        At 900 words per minute it should be fast enought even for you, it does take some time to get use to reading that way tho.

        Do you like death, war and misery ?
        Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
        Do you like vengeance story?
        If so then then vote for The girl who ate a death god

          May 2019 catchups:

          • Kokoro Connect
          • Amagi Brilliant Park
          • Lazy Dungeon Master
          • Seirei Gensouki

          Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

            I'm not reading Kokoro and I'm caught up with everything else. I'll hope Mixed Bathing shows up on catchup next month.

              People keep saying nice things about it so I'd like to give it a try too.

              I might try Kokoro even though it doesn't sound at all like my cup of tea. I already have all of Lazy Dungeon Master (well, once the premium epub for 5 is out) and Seirei Gensouki.

                If I can give my own take on Mixed Bathing (Spoiler Free)

                It started slow, real slow but after the first 25% of V1 it has been great, it honestly amazes me how something could be so boring to start and then be great consistently for several volumes.

                All my own reading experience.

                    @renofury Just remember that the Amabri anime used many parts of the novels to spin a slightly different narrative, on a more compressed time line. Things do not happen in the same order.

                    Having some time between watching and reading avoids many of the, "Why didn't X happen?" moments. Lots of different Xs happen, but in a different context, at a different time.

                      I really want to buy Amagi and Kokoro, so no catch up on those for me this month.

                      I don't know if I'll jump back into Seirei.

                        I actually want to read LDM all over again cause I really enjoy the story.

                        That being said it hasn’t been that long since I read V1 so the story is still fresh in my head, I own all the books so it won’t be an issue but maybe on my lunch break this week I will just breeze through V1P1 again.

                          I’d read 7/8 parts of Seirei Gensouki before it expired (I took some months off from LNs last year) and so I just finished the last part now, great story! I’ll try to read at least vol 2 this month. Maybe more. There’s something I really like about this one.

                          I’ve read about half of Amagi vol 1 before so I’ll finish that too. Might read LDM 2. I own Kokoro 2 so there’s not the rush

                            I dropped Seirei Gensouki after finishing volume 1. It's the only catch up this month I'm not current on. Did it get good?

                              Noooo, I wasn't done with Dendrogram! >_<
                              I thought I'd still be safe for a few days because April catchup started so late...argh.

                              Nothing for me in May. AmaBri and Kokoro Connect were the reason I joined, so I'm caught up there, and the other two are not my thing.

                                Yea, it would be nice to refresh the memory before the new volume starts.
                                Nothing for me from the offered selection, but then again, there aren't that many series I read here anyway.

                                    I think so. It's more fun since he's no longer being abused by the corrupt nobles and forced to restrain himself to fit in.

                                      Honestly speaking those were some of my favorite times reading Seirei, it really made itself distinct in my opinion. I also actively look forward to when Rio meets up with the nobles again and...we see some high and mighty people reminded that they are mortal.

                                        @rahul-balaggan Yeah that was definitely my favorite part - it gives the character a totally legitimate kryptonite. I’m bummed to hear it moves past that, and though I’ll read volume 2 I’m definitely less sure that I’m interested in catching up with the whole series

                                          I agree that volume 1's events were a nice breaking of the usual cliches.

                                          I'm looking forward to the reunion where he no longer has to hold back. Once all of the current prepub has been translated that's at the top of my reading list.

                                            The whole beat down by nobles seemed a bit wash, rinse repeat.
