So I listened to both volumes of this, and you know its pretty good junk food. Whats wild to me is the evil queen protagonist herself is SO GAY for her amnesiac childhood friend slash ladies maid. HER MAID IS ALSO SO GAY FOR HER. like, this book reads like a yuri. THEY LIVED TOGETHER IN A TOWER AND DID DIY TOGETHER. ITS JUST YURI... until the last 10 pages worth of content where its like "and she married the prince and lived happily ever after" ITS INSANE. YOU WROTE A FUCKING YURI. YOU CANT JUST TAG THAT ON AT THE END. THATS NOT HOW THIS WORKS

Why? Well it mentions the stereotypical villainess ohoho laugh like, 4 or 5 times but the lady reading the book CLEARLY has no idea what that is, like zero cultural understanding- no context and just reads it like she’s Santa. It’s incredibly good

EDIT: alternative explanation- she knows exactly what it is and was like “yeah, no, I am NOT going to do that” in the audiobooth. Way to embarrassing.

These annotations rule as always

Again, this is nominally a story about delving supernatural dungeons in modern day Tokyo.

This is BY FAR my favourite light novel series at the moment the first two books were incredible I’m so hyped for this

This is gunna be so good

So far this book (nominally about diving into supernatural dungeons on the modern day earth and cheating the systems to make stupidly large amounts of cash) has been about what restaurants Kei and Miyoshi can take their hot Hindu friend to when she comes to visit. 10/10 so far.

I would like to remind you that this is nominally a book about dungeon diving in Yoyogi park

They have done some dungeon diving in this volume I promise, but they also brewed pourover coffee and some very fancy expensive tea. 10/10

(some American dungeon delvers use it)

Pretty sure this is a direct callout for a bunch of you dweebs on this website

One of the best parts of finishing one of these books is getting to the colour illustrations at the end - ughhh the art is so good (it’s by @ltt_ttl).

Anyways, super great volume! This one was mostly about that fallout after the descovery of the party system, which lets dungeon adventurers share experience points and communicate telepathically. (Turns out that’s a real bad thing to discover just as nationwide standardised academic tests are about the take place). Again, for a book that’s nominally about dungeon diving, we spent about 50 of the 400 page runtime doing dungeon stuff and like 100 pages visiting expensive restaurants. This is the correct kind of balance, I think.

10/10
