Hello 👋 this is a reading blog, and I honestly don’t know what else to say.

The posts here are going to irregular as hell and a scrambled mess, but I just wanted somewhere to dump my thoughts about things I read 🤷‍♀️. I’ll list those I recommend in another post (which I’ll put the link for here ig), and please! If you have any suggestions, comment them (or send them to the ask box thingy), I’m always in the need of more things to read :).

Looked up at my ceiling while taking a break from reading and got startled by a damn daddy long legs. It was just,,, sitting in the middle on my ceiling. I have never wanted to kill a spider more in my life.

Anyway, I’m going to get back to posting on here. My life was kinda hectic for the last few months, but it’s calmed down a lot now.

Guys,,, I just finished reading a novel and oh my god the ending was disappointing 😭😭. I invested so long into waiting for those updates just for that??????? There’s so many plot holes and it was so rushed 😭. I mean, the novel had things that I was meh about from the beginning, but ML (who was a green flag) turned into an obsessive idiot and almost got himself killed just to try and stop MC from going back to his home dimension to say good bye to his brother. And I have to admit, I did dislike the blatant favouritism when it came to the kids MC looked after, and how he just dismissed the kid he was sponsoring, but I guess he WAS closer with the ML’s nephew,,, but still. Favouritism when it comes to child care is hella annoying in novels. Also, the MC and ML BOTH suck at communicating. They get points for being strong ig, but it was annoying 😒. If MC had just clarified that he loved ML and ML had ACTUALLY listened to MC when he said he would only briefly go back home to say goodbye to his brother before coming back, that whole shitty ending could have been avoided. At least MC slapped ML after figuring out he almost died on purpose. Should have made him try harder to make it up to him though :/. I could have lived my life happily not having read those last 20 chapters 😒. I cannot tell you how tempted I am to combine this novels concept with the other novel from this translator because they both had rushed endings and just write something that I’d actually like the conclusion of. I liked the other novel, but the pacing was a little too rushed, especially the ending. The temptation to write my own stuff based on them is so strong due to the dissatisfaction the ending left me with.

Just started watching an anime and it was giving me major Deja vu but I could not figure out why until 15 minutes in when a specific scene happened and I realised it’s because I’ve read the manga 😅.

Dndjjdudidjd chapter 27 of Nerd Project had me cackling with that Mario reference 😂😂😂😂

‼️ Chapter 394 Spoilers for Never Die Extra‼️

I FUCKING KNEW IT. ITS SOME TIME TRAVEL SHIT. Honestly, I’ve suspected ever since Mirole was introduced, but the confirmation is here! I was wondering was the last 100 chapters were going to be about.

Edit: okay so I wrote this like 3 months ago or something and accidentally forgot to post it,,, so here you go :). I’ve finished this novel now actually.

Here’s part 9 of screen shots take while reading “Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend: Running The Kingdom Behind The Scenes”;

This part of the novel was so interesting. We’re finally getting into the mysteries surrounding the demon king and monsters and the ancient kingdom. Honestly, this is why I can’t wait until book 6. Because of the fourth demon commander, the research on this topic got put on hold. I’m so curious about how everything is connected in this world.

Now it’s time for book 5 screen shots!!!

This time we got a cover with Mazel and Werner, with the demon commander in the background. Then one image of Duke Seyfret and the Crown Prince, one of Mazel saving Werner, then one of the whole hero party minus the wizard guy and plus Werner.

Anyway, I’ll see ya in part 10 for more SS from book 5.

[lin-euishin]

Here’s part 8 of screen shots taken while reading “Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend: Running The Kingdom Behind the Scenes”:

The conversation with Duke Seyfert, where the intentions behind sending MC to the border is revealed. Plus, MC gets half tricked into helping solve an issue in the later part of the conversation, which is what the art is showing.

Then we have Hermine apologising to Werner. The Furst family has got some stuff to handle man.

Small moment between Lily and Werner^

Honestly, I would be pissed too if some dumbass decided to involve others in his family issues and almost started and international conflict because of it. Also, the rat hole sounds… interesting.

His parents would be so proud if they knew he thought this.

Bro fucked up with that one. I believe this guy is going to try and start a coup d’état. Which I doubt is going to go well.

I wish I had one chocolate or candy right now too tbh. And maybe some tea.

Anyway, there’s only four SS’s left for book 4, but they’re all connected so I’ll put them in part 9.

[lin-euishin]

Here’s part 7 of screen shots taken while reading “Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend: Running The Kingdom Behind the Scenes”:

Lily helping by reading the letters^

I actually quite like the Crown Prince as a character. He also seems to be a good father to Ruven. The very fact that he’s telling his son to pick what sort of king he wants to be and not forcing him to conform to what he thinks is right makes me weirdly happy. You don’t see that often with royal families in novels. It’s also interesting to see the little snippet of the future and how they’ll be perceived by history. Plus, they look cool in the art.

Werner, kicking ass and saving Lily. Also, the concept of Mudmen seems cool, and like a pain in the ass to fight. MC looks really cool in this art piece.

Haha poor Werner. The consequences of being too successful. Tbh, I also thought the King was kind of useless before now because of what Werner thought of him, but it’s nice to see he’s not.

There’s still room for one more image but the next few are kinda paired up, so I’ll see you in part 8.

[lin-euishin]

Here’s part 6 of screen shots taken while reading “Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend: Running The Kingdom Behind the Scenes”:

Honestly, never thought about the fact that they probably wouldn’t have multiplication tables.

Ha, even the royal family was done with the village chiefs bullshit. Also, go Laura!!

Ah yes, the good old thieves guild. And MC makes a good point, you never know what short of things you’ll find useful someday. The information broker guy looks just how you would expect someone of his position to look tbh.

Once again, the consequences of saving people. Also, its good that his father is trying to teach him to act more like a noble.

His parents really do worry about Werner. I mean, its not that he completely lacks ambition, its just that he’s so focused on preventing the destruction of the capital that he fails to properly view his achievements for what they are. And that point does in fact get him in trouble later.

I can just imagine the headache from trying to read the messy writing. Good thing Lily’s there. The system with the stalls actually seems fairly interesting. I’ve never thought about the schematics of it before now. I’d probably get so confused about where to locate things at first if I had to deal with that worlds system. It does seem very efficient though all things considered.

Anyway, image max has been hit so onto part 7 next!

[lin-euishin]

Here’s part 5 of screen shots taken while reading “Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend: Running The Kingdom Behind the Scenes”:

Time for book 4 screen shots!

Lily is honesty so pretty. And so is the art, as usual!!

Let me just say, I am so glad I’m not the MC. So much paperwork. No thanks.

See, this^ this is a good point!! Werner is actually really smart for being able to draft proposals from concepts he only partially remembers. MC is a really unreliable narrator in regard to himself.

Werner’s father! Poor guy has to deal with all the side effects of his son being smart yet too inexperienced politically to fully grasp the consequences of some actions. He’s a good father though.

See^ politics. I agree with MC when he says the world of politics is bleak.

Anyway, image max has been hit, so see you in part 6 :).

[lin-euishin]

Here’s part 4 of screen shots taken while reading book 3 of “Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend: Running The Kingdom Behind the Scenes”:

Poor MC bing forced into helping them stop people asking for the Princess’s hand in marriage for their military achievements. Also, it is interesting how there’s a prophecy relating to Laura’s child. The lore of what exactly is going on in this world gets revealed slowly over time and it’s always something interesting.

Ah yes, the consequences of one’s own actions. I love reading MC’s thought process while he comes up with strategies tbh. It’s nice to see how he gets from one point to the other. This novel made me realise I actually really like strategy based novels.

And here we have MC’s punishments for breaking military law. Having to wear a dress. And having everyone who see’s it laugh at him.

Here we have the novel art from the battle and the aftermath. The first piece of art is Max, one of the soldiers working for Werner’s father. The second is of Mazel and Laura, and I believe it’s when Laura decides she’s going to join the Hero’s party. As for the two other SS’s, well, you can see the highlighted section. Plus, I felt like pointing out the fact that MC really does undermine his own achievements. From a reader’s POV, I can understand that it’s because MC feels like since he’s using knowledge from his past life, it’s not that big of a deal. Plus, his ultimate goal is to stop the capital from being destroyed, everything else is just a tipping stone for that to the MC. But that sort of attitude has got to frustrate the people around him. Actually, i think it’s mentioned in the next book how that worries his parents.

Speaking of the next book, part 5 will be about that.

[lin-euishin]

Here’s part 3 of screen shots taken while reading book 3 of “Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend: Running The Kingdom Behind the Scenes”:

Honestly, I find the random bits of history and world building really interesting. I never really think too much about these sort of things while reading fantasy novels, but I like how this novel addresses things that would actually be an every day issue and how this world dealt with it verses our world. Maybe I’m biased as a history nerd though-. This line right here though had me laughing when I first read it;

I got the vague feeling that the old man was calling out to me right until the last moment, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. It was probably because I was tired, yep.

It’s a satisfying comment after the bullshit the village chief said earlier.

Here’s some of the novel art. This first one is of when Lily served tea to Werner while they were travelling. The second one was actually a cool scene, where Mazel and the others in the hero party killed some demons who were disguised as humans and attempting to take the princess hostage. The third one is during a battle with the demon army and it really goes to show that the only reason they’ve been able to win easily so far is because of MC’s strategies. Because they get smashed and have to retreat since too many people died. The fourth one is MC talking to his two subordinates about what they need to do and how they’re going to get the Harting family back to the capital since MC has to up with the army fighting the demons.

The reason why Werner has long hair hurts. I read that and felt like I got stabbed.

I couldn’t help but admire her, but that was all off topic.

👀 I support having Lily as the FL. They’re a good match. Anyway, I thought this scene was quite cute. And so is the art.

Poor MC.

This part had me cackling when I read it. Because they seriously did just sneak in to eavesdrop on him. The scene after this was also kinda amusing. But, since I’ve hit the image max, that’s for the next part.

See ya in part 4 👋.

[lin-euishin]

My internet just crashed and I thought I’d lost this whole post didhjdhdjsj I was about to be so annoyed. Luckily, since I was writing this in my drafts, it saved 🎉.

Here’s part 2 of screen shots taken while reading book 3 of “Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend: Running The Kingdom Behind the Scenes”:

I love the gory aspects of this series. Seriously though, it’s described so well. And having one of the few body parts left be that of a child’s really drives home how series the war is getting. And Feli!! Always nice to have a member of the Hero’s party show up.

Ah yes, the butterfly effect. MC still doesn’t realise how much trust the hero’s party has in him.

Get yourself a best friend who will break military law and rush to save your family like Werner. Also, he made it just in time. So he did the right thing by now waiting for the commander to permit him to leave. (MC went days without sleep just to get there quicker).

Werner being badass during the fight to save Lily^ all while exhausted. And injured for the second part! Since he got hit with fire magic 😬. And believe it or not, that lizard magician was the Demon Commanders strategist, so taking him out weakened the demon army that is attacking Finoy (the place the hero is protecting). This also led to MC discovering the fourth demon commander that didn’t show up I’m the game.

I remember when I read this part, I actually made a note that said; “This is some rage baiting level of bullshit I swear to god what the fuck?” And i still wholeheartedly agree with that. Because just rereading that SS makes me want to deck that village chief. Because,,, what the actual fuck mate???? How stupid can a person be jhfkjabfjkgjkbf.

“The fact that it did not draw blood was a testament to my self control” hell yeah it is! If that was me instead of Werner, I would have given that guy a nice new scar. Because that’s what they wanted to do to the Harting family. Eye for an eye. MC did make the right decision NOT to do that though given the situation.

Anyway, MC really shoved it into their faces that they fucked up. This also leads to the Harting family moving to the royal capital, and avoids the hostage situation that the demon strategist was trying to make.

I’ve once again hit the picture max, so see you in part 3 👋.

[lin-euishin]

Looked at my last post and realised it’s been a month :0 anyway,,, I ended up reading volume 3, 4 and 5 of “Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend: Running The Kingdom Behind the Scenes”. I also reread volume 2. And the manga as well. I’m kinda sad that I have to wait until next month for volume 6 because the plot is getting really interesting tbh. But anyway, here’s the screenshots I took while reading book 3;

The cover^ which is always nice tbh. I actually really like the art for this series. Plus, we get a coloured version of the hero’s sister! I’m pretty confident in the fact that she’s the female lead 🙂‍↕️ but the romance is very lowkey as of book 5.

The art that came with this book is always so good tbh. You can really tell that Lily and Mazel are siblings with these too. They really do a good job of highlighting important scenes without spoiling the novel too.

Character introductions, and a map! These two things get updated with each book, and it’s always handy to have if you’ve maybe forgotten a character or want to know where the locations of the fights are 👍. If I ever right a novel, I want to do this^ I just really like having a map mate.

It’s interesting how this novel touches on how little the game information conveyed about what happened to parts of the kingdom. Like, a whole city got wiped out and it can be inferred that it also had to have happened in the game, but it was never mentioned. So MC didn’t even think of a way to save those people. It’s also good that MC can view the situation objectively though and not blame himself for not realising that this might happen.

The impromptu history lessons in this novel are always fun to read. It’s also interesting to learn how magic has influenced the history and development of this world.

Anyway, that’s the image max hit, so I’ll make another post. There’s gonna be so many 😬 since I have three books worth of SS’s.

[lin-euishin]

Just caught up to the most recent chapters of the manga “Albus Changes the World” and damn is this manga underrated as all hell. It’s a really nice take on the whole hero and demon king concept. Not gonna lie, at first it kind of just felt like a slice of life for the hero about his regressions, but the plot line is actually really interesting. Even if you can see where the story is going at times, the execution of the story as a hell is really good. Honestly, I was afraid about the story getting boring after the arc with Raymond began, but I was pleasantly surprised. This one is a genuinely good read (and is actually on my recommendations list). Definitely go read it if you’re interested in a fantasy time-travel story that centres around a hero who’s speed running killing the demon king (you’ll have to read to find out the reason behind the speed running, it’s kind of a major spoiler).
