I’ve mostly watched anime for the past two years and got a craving for a book.

I’m mostly watching comedy and battle shounen, but I’m also enjoying Orb: On the Movements of the Earth this season. The last series I’ve been reading is Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive (don’t worry, I know about Mistborn, I’ll get into it during holidays).

Horror bores me, and I dislike romance in general. I can tolerate it as a side plot, but will cringe anyway. And if I see a love triangle or the MC going on and on about the butterflies in their stomach…

It would be nice to see a hard system world mid or post-industrial revolution, but it’s not a must. I also prefer a more masculine PoV, because I’m more used to it.

I’m currently thinking about getting The Powder Mage trilogy or Discworld, but I’ve been out of the loop for so long (if you consider regular visits at the library as being in the loop) that I want to see if I’m missing something more up my alley.

Originally I wanted to get Dungeon Crawler Carl, but it’s not translated, so I’ll wait. I’ve tried reading a book in English, forgot the title, but I had to drop it because it was too mentally demanding for me.

    IMHO one of the best or the best isekai light novel out there. I read like 24 out of the ~30 volumes by now.
    It presents a really in depth and well thought out world.
