Campfire Cooking in Another World With My Absurd Skill Books 1 - 3 Review

Another isekai light novel that more or less shoves its entire premise into its title and leaves little to the imagination. In Campfire Cooking in Another World With My Absurd Skill, the character gets isekai'd as an extra during a hero summoning ritual, decides to leave the kingdom that summoned him, and ends up travelling around with various overpowered familiars and feeding them delicious food.

Reincarnated as a Sword

Reincarnated as a Sword is pretty much what the title proclaims it to be. Standard isekai beginnings with the gimmick of the protagonist being an intelligent sword. Throw in the cat-girl, Fran, and this is pretty much what you would expect. Be sure to read the full review.

Review Solo

Solo Leveling Volume 1 is one of those stories that knew exactly what it wanted to be and didn't really try to pretend to be anything else. We go from zero to hero with a character and learn more about a world where hunters a needed and gates and dungeons appear in cities around the world. Basically, this one is a lot of fun.

WorldEnd Review

While I mostly enjoyed the anime series of WorldEnd my curiosity about whether the story was better in written form (whether the pacing issues and nebulous characterisation was better) eventually got the better of me and I decided to try out volume 1 of the light novel series.

Magical Girl1

What is it about tragic magical girls? Magical Girl Raising Project was an anime I couldn't quite get into but the concept of a magical girl battle royal kind of appealed and so checking out the light novel made sense. Having tried the first volume, what are my thoughts?
