Weekly Anime Post 87

Yeah, it's light novel review time again.

First, I finished the last 2/3 of Mushuko Tensei Vol 19 that I dropped way back in October. It was as bad as a expected it to be. It did the same thing to the villain as it did in previous volumes, where they're turned morally gray at the last moment. It's terrible disappointing that both Rudeus and Roxy cry over the usurping, paterniciding, groping, kidnapping Pax. Of course, it's not possible for either of them or the author to critique Pax's molesting and horrible behavior while Rudeus behaved in a similar way. that would hurt the feeling of the self inserters.

Then, I read Magical Explorer Vol 4. It was nothing standout in either good or bad. It sets up some plot that might turn out somewhat interesting down the line. If there had been ten volumes translated already I would probably have read them all but as it is, with one volume every 6 months or so it's hard to be invested in any of the characters, and 10+ Japanese names are pain to remember.

Furthermore, I was looking for some new series, so I read Private Tutor to the Duke's daughter Vol 1. This is supposed to turn into more of a political intrigue down the line but I'm not sure if I will continue after the first volume. It's not Isekai, but it also practically is.

Lastly, I finished Min-Maxing my TRPG build in Another World Vol 1 just last night. This has some tryhard, pretentious prose and the author loves writing about the spider that's on the cover. The plot as fairly standard, not sure if it's meant to be meta before it gets more interesting later or if it will continue with cookie cutter TRPG campaign style plot lines.

Now I can't really decide if I should continue either Private Tutor or Min-Max, to give the authors and the plot a chance to improve. Or if I should look for something else entirely.
