I’ve been killing slimes for 300 years - Vol 04 to Vol 06
The last few weeks I continued slowly with Slime 300. The writing is pretty uniform, no real changing in quality. It is defiantly slice of life - “this week we did …”. If you want something relaxing with fluff it’s worth reading.
I was never a reader until I got into Light Novels a few years ago.
But if you include audiobooks:
H G Wells (First men in the moon , The Time Machine)
H P Lovecraft
P G Woodhouse (The Inevitable Jeeves)
Yeah, I haven’t started the new series yet so not sure.
Hopefully they will keep it closer to the LN. But listening to the audiobook I only caught a few bits changed in the original Anime like the person he sees at the start and skipping the 4th volume. There might be more as I don’t retain much when listening and working.
Spice and Wolf - Vol.03 to Vol.05 [Audiobook]
The narration is a bit better with the second narrator but the voices are just not the same as in the anime. For anyone who’s watched the anime and thinking about reading the series Volume 4 is completely missed in the Anime so is new content.
Didnt I say to make my abilities average - Vol.18
Nothing much to note. It is similar to all of the other volumes in writing. I still enjoy the story and the interactions of the characters.
This week only has Average abilities for me.
Spice and Wolf - Vol.01 to Vol.02 [Audiobook]
I started to listen to the audiobooks at work as I am caught up with my podcasts.
Story - I can’t remember much of the story, I only retain about 20% of what I listen to when working. But I have watch the original Anime so I am not too concerned about the early story line, I am mainly listening to see if there are any changes from the Anime.
Narrator - The narrator is clear and easy to listen to, But Holos voice is terrible. He just doesn’t manage to give the haughtyness / pridefulness that she has in the Anime. The 3rd volume has introduced Holos English voice actress but so far she hasn’t used the same voice and is lacking as well.
Death March to another world - Vol.20
With the new volume out I have moved up a volume. I still enjoy this series a lot.
P.S. re-reading Bookworm part 2 as I have some sort of flu.
You haven’t got the devouring have you?
I had sanity?
As long as I can still read it. It would be horrible to go through with it and find I can’t read it.
So the long wait for me…
If only I could invent time travel. Forget fixing the worlds problems, I could use it to read bookworm sooner.
I am still missing something.
What’s the importance about her being dyed in this volume? Or is it just that she is now stuck with the goddesses colour.
A few volumes back Hirschur mentioned that children with the devouring / children of Ewigeliebe are born without colour. As a result Myne was having a crisis in that scene as she got dyed by Ferdinand in the mind reading. And it was important for her to be a zent candidate, etc.
Also any idea about what Sylvester, Karstead and Ferdinand were going on about at the end? Or was it just implying that something happened between Myne and Ferdinand because she added him to the Ahrenbach foundation which is for the archducal family.
What’s the throwback 4D chess moment in bookworm?
I think I missed it. I can’t think what it could have been.
Actively reading -
Death March
Planning to read -
The apothecary diaries
I’ve been killing slimes for 300 years - Vol 02 to Vol 03
Caught up to where the Anime ended, so I am looking forward to the new content ahead.
Ascendance of a bookworm - Part 5 Vol 10
More bookworm perfection. Just concerned it’s getting close to the end of the series.
So I’m a spider so what?
Spoilers ahead, turn back now!
It’s surprisingly hard to think of a story that still keeps true to the characters personality. I couldn’t have her just abandon the world as she cares about Ms Oka and Ariel, she can’t just take them and leave due to the conjuring and she doesn’t have the power to change that until the end and she can’t just defeat her enemy due to the massive difference in power.
It ended up becoming “Whites Revenge” instead of “The Villianess White” (Unless trying to kill the villain makes you the villain?), but she’s already a villain as she want to sacrifice the people of the world to save the ones she loves.
The result:
The story continues as it is until the end when she becomes Administrator Ds maid. Still enraged that she was being used she bides her time. She continues to learn more about conjuring and expanding her knowledge of being a god. Through her work as Ds maid she makes contact with other gods. She slowly makes friends with the gods who oppose D.
Once they have gained enough power they plan their attack on D. But as D can use conjuring to see into the past and future she knows of the plot to kill her. Being D she allows the plan to go ahead as it would be more entertaining.
Ending 1 - D pulls out the spider self destruct button and everyone’s favourite spider blows up.
Ending 2 - Before dying D thanks everyone’s favourite spider for making it so entertaining and resets the universe so she can enjoy it again for the ?th time.
Now you know why I didn’t become an author.
Finally it’s Bookworm week again!
Only bookworm this week for me.
Anyone listened to any of the audiobooks? I was thinking of trying some of the ones I struggle to read as I have seen the anime’s before then picking up the books once they line up.
Making Magic - Vol 07
I have read the latest Making Magic. Much the same as the others.
I’ve been killing slimes for 300 Years - Vol 01
Finally got round to actually finishing killing slimes for 300 years.

The other day I saw someone hosting their blog on a GitHub repository.
Just using markdown files and folders to organise it to their liking.
If you are writing stories you could use a similar approach. A folder per story then subfolders for chapters. Then having the main page have links each story’s folder with links to each chapter inside.
I ended up using Koreader on a Kobo as it lets you browse via folders.
I can copy the books onto it in my preferred folder structure and just browse them as required.
It can be good when there are multiple groups split up experiencing different parts of the same event. Or when it’s a small chapter giving or commenting on something that has happened from someone else’s point of view.
But I agree for most of the stories I read I prefer just following one person and having the side stories / alternating POV at the end.
So I’m A Spider So what? -
Tap for spoiler
When the big Human vs Demon war is happening you see the different battles from people points of view, for some you also get the two opposing sides so you can see their personal feelings on the battle and their emotions.
Death March To A Parallel World rhapsody - I believe there are some small chapters (1-3 Pages) that are just comments/notes from a demon about what’s happening to a superior.
