dang, I knew the next chapter of Observation Diary of the Self-Proclaimed Villainess would be harsh, but man, I'm feeling kinda bad for Heronia, she still thinks she's on the game route, but it's all crumbling in front of everyone. I like the way one person put it, "Bertia is dumb and she knows it, while Heronia is dumb but thinks she's a genius"

Very interested to see where it continues on from here

I'm guessing with Bertia realizing (or acknowledging) that they're both reincarnated and making friends with Heronia. Because how else does that girl know the same "plot" that Bertia does?.

Pretty sure Bertia already knows that. I've read the whole novel version and I don't remember if it was shown in the comic, but there was at least one occasion where Heronia confronted Bertia about not being the villainess and how she should get her act together if she wanted the prince to be happy.

Bertia demonstrated quite early that she's willing to change the timeline for the better, telling people about the plague. Heronia still thinks everything is playing out like the book, despite things like that being different.

this is my favorite isekai running at the moment. the arc where Bertia plays matchmaker for all her friends is what all manga needs more of

Yasei no Last Boss 29/30: I love the occasional PoV switches to the hero's party where we see the protagonist and her group through his eyes. It's amusing to see the cast of misfits looking all terrifying and everyone coming up with elaborate conspiracy theories about what they must be up to.

I’m watching the anime now, and I had forgotten just how loving dark Ascendance of a Bookworm gets around when Myne is making paper.

”It’s nothing to worry about, if I get disowned and cast out I can always just commit suicide.” The anime seems a bit cheerier than the books but it isn’t really shying away from this.

i like the "My God this looks like we're invading the country" like she's completely out of her depth

Also relatedly it emphasizes that the kid's got some guts

link to chapter 30

I absolutely love that there's this INCREDIBLY AWE-INSPIRING/BADASS/TERRIFYING scene(depending on who's viewing it) where all the various heavenly stars transform into their beast forms and then it all turns out to be because of them being goofy idiots, including libra despite her being a calculating robot, she's still a goofy idiot

also I like this hero fella. he's got spunk, and gumption.

For real.Their whole scene when Lorraine blatantly starts to reinforce becoming a mage scholar instead on an adventurer while Rentt awkwardly tries to remind her was great Mom vs Dad on Child's career path.

I really, really do love this series and Wolf Won't Sleep. They just have that great old school DnD vibe. There are of course other series like Dungeon Meshi and Faraway Paladin that have a vibe similar in some way, but these two perfectly nail that gritty old school Lodoss War look as well.

i like wolf won't sleep because he's a hardcore dungeon conquering maniac but he does very little dungeon diving. instead, it's mostly about all this stuff that is out of his comfort zone.

Yeah, we’ve established that he’s an unstoppable badass warrior, so now we get to see him deal with social problems and teaching apes how to box.

To be fair, we already have an Isekai where a mummy, skeleton, and ghost raise a kid who turns out to be fairly talented and good. So wizard mom and ghoul dad isn't much of a stretch anymore.

Nah, Bookworm has a ton more content. If it gets fully adapted (doubtful), it will take a long time just for the show to catch up.

I just mean catch up to the official English translation. I know there are like 20 volumes of the light novels already. In hindsight I wrote in a confusing way.

The next season is shorter than the first, but the source material has even more chapters. Even highly compressed and omitting chapters like "Going out to buy clothes", I doubt they could get the whole arc 2 in there. And from the trailers I don't think I've seen any scenes past the halfway mark. I'd like for it to be fully adapted but season 1 adapted 72 chapters and there are 700 of them to go through if you include side stories. For reference, arc 1 has about 77 chapters, and arc 2 has nearly 100.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Been reading A False Confession. Which despite its title is less of a romance and more of a war story from a ground level you don't see too often in isekai.

Basically the protag is a Korean woman who reincarnates in a fantasy world, except instead of being a noblewoman like she expected she's just an orphan on the streets. She gets taken into an orphanage run by a church and grows up to be a priestess, basically because it was the path of least resistance. But since priests have actual healing magic in this fantasy world (and she's unfortunately talented at it), she gets drafted to serve as a medic in a war.

Basically lots of marching punctuated by short and bloody moments of violence, followed by emptiness, PSTD, and life inexplicably moving on even when she can't.

Also sort of interesting how the protag's internal monologue is this high speed, nervous "please don't cause any trouble, I really, really, REALLY don't want any trouble," but if you look at her from the outside she seems to appear stoic and self-sacrificing and dare I say saintly to everyone else.
