<Tearmoon Empire: Volume 15> - I'm starting to suffer some Serpents fatigue. That particular plot line is a bit tiring by now. Luckily there seems to be a new festival as a palate cleanser in the next volume. 7/10

<The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects: Volume 8> - The last couple of chapters are about Illuk Village going to war, which goes against my comfy-doctrine, but it was over quickly, so I'll let it slide this once. Overall, a good volume 7/10 (would be an eight without the war chapters).

<The Villainess Is Dead! Long Live the Empress! Redoing the Story After a Poisonous End: Volume 1> - So many plotholes and inconsistencies, and the setup itself is as cliche as it gets. Events with little to no chance of happening happen anyway. But it's not all bad: The MC and sidekick are likable enough to have kept me reading. That being said, I'll probably have completely forgotten it in an hour. 4/10

<Abducted Princess Running Rampant: Wielding Forbidden Magic in the Demon King’s Castle Volume 1> - What a treat of a first volume! Starts out like the Sleepy Princess anime in the first third of the volume, with the abducted princess running rampant in the demon king's castle, ignoring everything that could be considered common sense. It then turns into a "Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!" of sorts, with the princess running away to have some adventures and finding 3 more friends who are equally sheltered, overpowered, and clueless. They're hilariously bumbling around, having run-ins with monsters and pursuing demons while overcoming everything with their overpowered stats and complete lack of common sense. You just have to feel sorry for the poor demon lord who just wanted to abduct a human princess in peace, and now has to deal with the monster he created. Also, great anime material. I hope it gets an adaptation. 8/10
