Nothing of any interest occurs in the second Buchigire Reijou wa Houfuku o Chikaimashita novel. It’s incredibly mundane for the most part and I’m not thrilled about the sudden dungeon excursion. I’ll probably drop it here.
The second Mizu Zokusei novel on the other hand is much like the first. While this also has an inexplicable dungeon excursion (what is it with fantasy authors forcing gamified dungeons into their non-gameworlds?), the character interactions and assorted other developments continue to be entertaining.
Continuing the ‘sudden dungeon’ theme, although at least this setting is in fact a gameworld and the dungeon is only used as an assassination tool, Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival‘s second novel drops the battle-maid angle to return to the path of the murderhobo. My only complaint is an overuse of ‘fodder for my growth’ as a catchphrase.
