        @stardf29 Is the world building good?
        Beause if it is, personally I really don't mind some info dump, quite the opposite in fact.

        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

          @raitoiro I mean, the novel felt like it was 75% worldbuilding. If you're into worldbuilding then yeah, it's good, though I personally wish it was better integrated into the story itself rather than just dumped on us. But if you're fine with that sort of infodump, you'll probably like this novel.

            @stardf29 sounds good, I will get it out after finishing Altina prepub. As a note probably I will end skimming through the plants descriptions just as I do with food descriptions in Cooking with wild life.

              @stardf29 Thank, I will probably give it a try then.

                TBH, staying current seems to be an ongoing struggle for me. I don't think I've been done reading all of the prepubs in over a month.

                  Yeah.

                  I just finished Root Double, so I think I'll give "Ascendance of a Bookworm" a try.

                  Then next month, I gotta read all those volume 1s before the 15th.

                    Currently ploughing through the Sword Art Online franchise and took a small break from the main series to read the Progressive volumes released thus far.

                    It is quite interesting to read in detail the progression through, because, you have to admit, the Aincrad Arc in the main was a bit on the concise side. But, I've also slowly come to the inevitable realization that, he's never gonna finish this, is he? (currently reading the 6th volume featuring the 6th floor...)

                      I took a break from the main series at vol. 15, the beginning of that volume was a bit... exhausting?...

                      I think, for me, coming from vol 14. to go to the setting of the 'real world' and into new character introduction (obviously an antagonist) and their background story I don't care about at all(at least at this time) was the last thing I wanted.

                      spoiler

                      I have also been reading Progressive and really like it, more than the main.

                      Even though the story doesn't 100% follow along with the past of the main story and as much as it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon.....I believe I read somewhere that

                      spoiler

                      So I anticipate floor progression, to an extent, will then increase.

                      But either way it's going to be a while.

                        The only non-J-Novel Club light novels I am reading right now are Rise of the Shield Hero and RE:Zero. I would like to try Konosuba as well but it is hard to justify with those being $2 more expensive than premium J-Novel Club titles, which I can try-before-you-buy via pre-pub releases.

                          Woof Woof Story volume 3 just came out, and it's more light and (ahem) fluffy reading.

                          It's kind of the (not really a) dog version of FUNA's Abilities Average mixed with Killing Slimes for 300 Years. Wholesome fun.

                          "I'm just an ordinary, average dog! Arf!"

                            @khaos All of this is going into spoilers for obvious reasons...

                              Well looks like Yen Press is finally splitting up physical and digital, since Re:Zero 11 ebook came out a couple days ago, but paperback is next month.
                              Glad their printing problems they've been having finally isn't affecting the ebook release as much.

                                Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town, Vol. 1 -- 3 out of 5 stars for me, being generous.

                                It's a farce like Demon Lord Retry. The writing is shallow and the world-building is almost nonexistent. I finished it, but might not read any more of the series.
