I started reading The Faraday Paladin (light novel).
Watched the anime that released a while back and loved it. Read the available manga chapters then saw the licensed light novel at Barnes and noble and picked it up.
It reads much different than others light novels, much more like a regular fantasy book.

Might be obvious, but while the anime was neat, there is so much more details in the book talking about how the religion of the world works and the people living there

heroic tracks need that soft strings or smooth beat

if within the same series example, I would go with this track

comeback tracks need a really good tempo shift in the middle like that one good danmachi track the anime keeps spamming after the first season undeservedly

read a bit of the both the novel and manga version sof 'The Academy's Undercover Professor'

I always quite dug the professor/magic teacher settings, but man, I started rapidly losing interest right at the start of the first major arc with the werewolves.

I was really with the idea when he started the first class, and wanted him raising the students similar to stories like 'The S-class heroes I raised' or even 'The Returners' magic should be special'

but it seems like he's just doing the side jobs and the students see him in the middle of it and go 'wow, he's so mysterious and strong'

maybe later arcs will have that, but as I said, the first major arc was a downgrade for my expectations.

In other isekai news, went to Barnes & Noble and picked up vol1 of 'The Other Worlder Exploring the Dungeon' vol1.
Read the first few pages and liked the prose enough.

read thru first chapter of The Other Worlder Exploring the Dungeon

i like the many races in the book so far, and them presented with having varied cultures and gods, and the dungeon town is a melting pot of sorts so far.
MC seems pragmatic enough. And isn't overpowered and has no cheats as of yet, he's just armed with limited amount of guns and ammo, and an AI that's half broken most of the time

I do love village building isekais. Though its one of the ones were I'm like "does this really need that hint of isekai, where its just an excuse for easy leaps in logic and explanations in technology. I think the MC doesn't even really remember, its just the system uses more modern tech. for the village upgrades than the initial setting as his cheat.

no idea why its an isekai, but maybe it will come into play more. The prologue didn't seem to have anything to do with it.

I don’t mind it, of course the home country is gonna have bias and win.
Like how America always win in all of their stories or portrayed as the heroes to their audience.

Or how the alternate Korean or Chinese isekai stories has Korea/China as the top world power because of reasons and it’s America that keeps trying to undermine them.

the dark elfs (mountain elves) are a cool addition.
i think too much time was spent on the trio of noble ladies, didn't really care for them.

and first/best girl might be pregnant?! Didn't expect that development.
But given the series' habit of making fakeout cliffhangers and then it be resolved in the first 5 minutes in the next episode, we see if its a fakeout, or the time for a bunch of new babies to arrive

The problem with the math ones for me is like I don’t believe that the isekai world wouldn’t already know that math.

It’s a civilization with a working government, business guilds and other stuff. They learned math, it’s not a modern invention or anything.

Have the same issue when one of the modern cheats isekai characters give is introducing crop rotation. Like come on that stuff has been around across different cultures since BC times. If the world is in the feudal stages, they should know about it

Throwing out the stock water you used to boil veggies and stuff instead of using the broth…

Or thinking of grounding up a food that you know animals eat into a consumable flour to make dough…

Are you kidding me, everyone tried to eat everything they could think of off the ground since they existed to survive and you skipped this cooking step?

yea its just a shortcut, then the story just depends on if the dungeon raids is interesting enough.

imo, the better shortcut is the 'i'm not racist' mc. Where everyone tries to enslave elfs and dwarfs or other demis, and the mc saves them. And gets a diverse party of different races that follow him because he treats them equal, since to him, everyone is a foreigner anyway.

Test Pattern posted:

This is what the guy who gets isekai'd but he's got access to FreshDirect does for money -- he just orders a five pound bag of salt and a two pound bag of peppercorns, sells those, and then cools it because he's worried if he gets noticed he'll get enslaved. Dropped out of that one when I found out he starts buying slaves, though.

The related one, 80,000 gold or whatever (what I've been calling the Arbitrage Isekai), she vacillates between not doing that (i.e. trying to maintain some kind of tech hygiene) and just giving zero shits about it (oh yeah, I've got fresh fish. And DVDs. And GUNS. AND I'M GOING TO SUMMON A PMC (though that's after she gets hit with an arrow and in-dialogue says "Well, I've been trying to not destabilize this entire civilization, but they shot me so gently caress that.")

yea, I dropped it after that when I just wanted a standard economy isekai, and she just backpedals totally on trying to not interfere too much on the world. Could have skipped all that and found another excuse to get to the town building phase.

there's a similar one.
setting is a towers thing where people have to battle up the floors. With a regression setting.

So within the MC, is all the paths he took. Warrior/mage/alchemist ect. Along with the many path, even though its the same kind, they all have different ending personalities and experiences. And the MC can draw on experiences and skills from them (but he doesn't know it, they all reside in his head in a kind of roundtable format) and try to subconsciously guide him to build resonance with their path to lend their skills. Pretty sure all of them met a dead end, and this one is the current run.

Been reading The Amazing Village Creator: Slow Living with the Village Building Cheat Skill (not on mangadex but on other sites) and it scratches that building sim itch.

with such a common setting, sucks that there isn't that many real games of these types. like village sims and such. I know they are some, but its all mostly military.

its like the villainess type isekais. The otome villaniness setting games...don't actually really exist. its a mix of common tropes smashes together that's easy to write off of.

Looks neat, though I think to myself if human surgery skills would be as effective on beastmen, and other demi-humans with different anatomy systems. Especially with the Chimera, sounds more like a vet. situation.

Loved the Trauma Center games. Other than the weird Trauma Unit one which was just kind of a hospital mini-game simuator
