It is way too hot, and that’s making reading harder 
anyway in the last 12 days:
Finished books
- 百合姫 2024年8月号 | L24?? - I read probably 3/4 of the series in it (the others just don’t interest me). That’s the first time I’ve gotten through a whole magazine, and in a single day!
- 〆切前には百合が捗る | L28 - I’m really sad there isn’t a vol 3. These were perfect reading level, and enjoyable
- 私の百合はお仕事です! | L27 - challenging, but sooooo good (except for a recent storyline that I’m really pissed about). I ordered the physicals, and plan to reread
Finished anime
- すずめの戸締まり | L27 - I watched this in English, with Japanese subtitles. That was interesting, and I could mostly keep up with it (when I could read them… Netflix doesn’t understand contrast)
- 私の推しは悪役令嬢。 S1 | L28 - it was decent, but challenging. The LN is hard, but I’m going to work on the manga, since it’s a YH series
- The manga is easier than 転生王女と天才令嬢の魔法革命 1 | L28
- 私の百合はお仕事です! S1 | L25 - perfect adaptation of the first arc (including all its flaws). Watching it before reading the manga was really helpful
- 劇場版 ソードアート・オンライン -プログレッシブ- 冥き夕闇のスケルツォ | L28 - I still hate Mito’s existence, but was able to understand mostly everything, and otherwise enjoyed it.
Current novels
- SAO 28 - 60% (I skimmed a lot of the first half)
- SAO 1 - 18% through SAO 1.
- わたしの百合も、営業だと思った? | L30?? (underwhelming/MC is boring and repetitive so far)
- ステラ・ステップ | L27?? (not into it yet, but still at the very beginning)
I’m starting to feel more comfortable with skimming lately - both in the sense that I can do it, and in the sense that I’m ok with doing it. It really helps, cuz I get bored easily, and LNs often over-explain things.
Weekly Anime
- Watching ガルクラ、よるクラ、声優ラジオ、鬼滅の刃、ささ恋 without subs lately
- With 声優ラジオ and 鬼滅の刃 I can check the EN subs. With the other two I rewatch with subs (tho I haven’t been doing that for よるクラ cuz the story got really upsetting. Ep 11 was ok tho). ささ恋 I’ve never used subs
- I tried 終末トレインどこへいく？ S1 | L30?? which I can’t find subs for. It’s a bit too hard, and too absurd for me, but I’ll maybe give ep 2 a try.
All the weeklies (besides ささ恋) will be over in 1-2 weeks. Maybe I’ll try another ep of 転生王女と天才令嬢の魔法革命 S1 | L31 at that point
Goals:
- Read, grade, and review more yuri LNs on here
- Catch up on all the ongoing YH series I like, so I can know what’s going on each month
- There’s at least 9 in the current volume, tho some don’t have too many chapters yet
- Finish SAO 28 sooner, so I’m not reading 4 LNs
- Make more progress on my physical manga lol
