There were a couple of series I was thinking of picking up but I have forgot them since.
DEFCON 5 -
I find another series and life goes on
DEFCON 4 -
Revisit older series I gave up on:
Cooking with wild game
Reincarnated as a Sword
Spirit Chronacles
Apothecary Diaries
DEFCON 3 -
Watch some Anime to find new series / Read some Manga
DEFCON 4 -
Reread a series I enjoyed:
Death March
Making Magic
Continue rereading Bookworm Part 4
DEFCON 5 -
Read the reserved volumes:
Bookworm side stories
Silent Witch - Barrier Mage
(Not sure why they are reserved, I didn’t read them the first time around and never bothered to read them since. But now I am scared to start and truly finish them)
Defcon 5: The Barrier Mage volume was good. I liked it.
The Bookworm side stories are okay, and the Hannelore new series is really good, but the wait between volumes is killing me.
Defcon 2: I love Cooking With Wild Game. It's entirely character driven. If you don't like the characters after the first volume you will have a bad time. Vice versa, if you like them you'll have blast.
That’s the only side story I have read. I still can’t believe she did a Myne and caused herself more headaches.
I didn’t finish the volume, I was looking for a series after finishing one and think it was just the wrong story at the wrong time. So it’s in my revisit list. I didn’t have anything against the characters but they just weren’t clicking with me.
In fact it might have been Death March I had finished, so trying to get to know new characters after travelling with the gang was too much.
Yeah, I can see that happen.
