I knew I would get someone with Number 1.
I thought Number 2 would be easy if you have seen the anime or read the LN up to meeting the character. It’s quite a unique position.

Why, at this rate I’ll have to write the books myself, and then I can become a librarian like I always wanted!

Quote 2 -
Lemme go, [Redacted]! Insulting me is one thing, but I cannot let him get away with insults to the demon king and my subordinates! Otherwise, I am a failure as minister of agriculture!

Quote 3 -
Anyway, now that I’m back home, I’ve wasted no time doing some follow-up investigations. The Colonel’s gonna look out for the elves until they reach the border, but there’s no telling what’ll happen after that.
So I’m a spider, so what?
We also have the next Anime season to enjoy.
Bookworm this week.
I am going to miss it.
So I’m a spider so what?
The ending was rushed resulting in uncharacteristic actions by the MC and other people. Then it has a chapter listing 2 sentences of what happened to each person. It would have been much better to use the chapter to expand the ending a bit.
So I’m a spider so what?
I do enjoy this series but there are defiantly parts which could be changed and improved.
Volume 11 covers Juliius’ life from early year until his death.
I feel this whole volume could be condensed down. It adds a lot of extra information and adds his values and why he acts how he does. But I am reading this novel because of White, she’s the main source of entertainment and is what’s making it interesting. Volume 11 just starts to drag on.
So to improve this series I would remove this volume and have a few chapters of his backstory.
Volume 16 is the end of the series, in this volume the main cast race to the lower stratum to the conjuring controlling the skills. White and Demon Lord Ariels team is trying to destroy it to save Sariel, and Dustin & Guli Gulis team are trying to save it to save the planet. After they reach it they end up facing off against Administrator D who will give her power to keep it running if they can beat her. It ends with them succeeding and White becoming Administrator Ds maid.
The ending was defiantly botched. The author gave White and Demon Lord Ariel 1 line of goodbyes. After they have been through so much it just feels unrealistic. White is someone who doesn’t speak much but still there should have been more.
In the end White also becomes a maid for Administrator D. Again White who has been trying to survive and live her life with pride now becomes a maid without raising any objections. I understand that D is extremely powerful and has some power over her, she has a debt to her for saving the world and has some attraction to D after meeting back on earth and finding out she is a clone of D. But I still don’t buy that she would go along without any issues.
So I would give White and Demon Lord Ariel more time to say goodbye and have White at least trying to get her freedom if we follow the original ending. But I would prefer to rewrite a completely different ending.
Thank you for reading my rant.
Didn’t I Say to make my Abilities Average - Volume 6 to 8
I have continued my reread of Average Abilities.
I have had a look through my read series and it looks like only Death March to another world rhapsody and spice and Wolf (listened to the first few audiobooks) are older than 10 years. Unless you include the original Novels then a few others like In the land of Leadale would be included (but I never read them).
Death March is one of my top series so it is defiantly my favourite over 10 years old. I just wish they would release it quicker.
Didn’t I Say to make my Abilities Average - Volume 5
I have continued my reread of Average Abilities.
Still enjoyable the 2nd time, Miles antics never get old.
Maybe something like Alice in Wonderland based on cards?
That is already a manga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Borderland
Almost the exact same concept. Have you been stealing other peoples ideas again?
None come to mind but how many classic board game have any lore that could be used as a setting?
Pokémon / yu-hi-oh cards - surely there’s some lore behind them that could be used…
I haven’t read no game no life but the end game seems to be the world is a giant chess board? (Highschool DxD aswell?)
Snakes and ladders - as a dungeon exploration?
risk - as a historic war
poker - as a gambling setting? (Kakegurui [manga] / Kaiji [Manga]?)
game of life - every month the gods roll a dice to decide your fate
monopoly - following rich people as they battle to take over a city? Or real estate agents? (Dragon goes house hunting [manga] / rpg real estate [manga])
Snap - twins are seperated and put into a death match. The first twins to reunite and make it to the exit win.
Note - I haven’t actually read any of the mentioned manga so I am not sure how accurate they are.
Feel free to, unless anyone else steals them first.
I’ll be on vacation for the next two weeks and if someone has an idea for a Midweek discussion I would be glad If someone else could answer the call of duty. (Or want to post about non-Japanese LN or even fat novels but fear my vengeful wrath? This is your chance!)
If no one else does I can try if I remember.
You may also want to either restrict posting or add a temp mod. I have seen some communities getting spammed recently. I don’t know what ani.social is like whether the admins will block the community if it’s spammed and not cleared swiftly.
Is there any board game ones?
I can think of lots where people get taken into a video game but I can’t think of many for board games. (No game no life?)
I’ve been killing slimes for 300 years and maxed out my abilities

Ascendance of a bookworm
But Ascendance of a bookworm is an amazing story I think it fits the criteria
I always read the afterword at the end. I know some authors give an overview of the story and talk about taking the book to the checkout [So I’m a Spider?]. But it just feels wrong to read it first.
I am not too fussed about afterwords. There are some interesting ones which give extra info about the story or tell us more about the author, and it’s always nice to see them thanking everyone.
But I quite enjoy it when the illustrator gives extra pictures they have done of characters that didn’t get added to the main story [Average Abilities], or little story panels (manga/comics) [Bookworm]
TsukiMichi is one on my list to read.
But at the moment I am struggling to pick up new series.
Didn’t I Say to make my Abilities Average - Volume 3 to 4
I have continued my reread of Average Abilities.
ps: A synopsis in recipe form is genius! My favorite so far.
I tried to get it as a game guide or gaming manual for no game no life but it didn’t generate any good ones.
The FBI was too busy looking for the mass murder Momonga and his subordinates.
I can’t stop generating them now.
Ascendance of a Bookworm - Part 5: Vol.12
Bookworm has come to an end. It ended better than I thought, the loose ends were wrapped up and it ended at a good point. I would still like to know what happens after that and what happens to all the people she meet along the way. It looks like there are side stories to come and possible an extension to the main story so there is hope.
