Mostly (queer) fiction these days.
I read more when I was younger and most of the books here are still imports from several years ago (and many of those, especially the to-read shelf, were very random; the to-read shelf can basically be disregarded altogether). Younger-ish reads are still archived as handwritten lists in notebooks on my shelf.

This was fun! It ended up being quite different from the drama series, and now I’m curious about season 2 that I didn’t watch (yet?). Perhaps it’s mostly about the specials?

I saw the pilot for this a bit back, but looking at the production company it may be a good while yet, so I was glad to check back and see that an English translation is now available!

I think there are four volumes so I’m not sure where this is headed (except maybe mpreg?? that’s not a spoiler; the system had a throw-away line about it very early on) but I’m curious!

This sounds very delightfully madcap, hopefully a bit more cheerful than Scum Villain's Self-Saving System?

Content warning Some spoilers about the end
I found some of the omegaverse stuff in-universe ("gender" roles etc.) really annoying and frustrating; the MC (from "our world") does push back against them in a way but I still found it frustrating (compared to his uncle's approach, other character approaches), but on the other hand he was sucessful (along with the help of others) and things change a lot by the end so it did feel like there was a lot of progress.

It took me a while to remember this one, but now that I think back, it was kind of high school hijinks/redemption; pretty fun!

It look me a while to read this one as I kind of stopped after reading volume two; the narrative shifted gears and I felt a bit like I had to reorient myself. The story was so large and intricate with so many characters, but the plot really all came together in the end in a really satisfying way; at first, earlier on, it felt like we were coming to a close but there was so much book yet, and then it felt a bit like breaking through the ceiling into so much more complexity. Anyway, I quite enjoyed this one!

Okay so I'm not done reading this one yet, but it has been an enjoyable but also very unpredictable ride so far; my eyebrows have definitely been raised a lot!
