Land of Leadale vol 7: Took me a while to chunk through this one. It's a weird one in that it's kind of building up to some sort of climax, but nothing really happens. Still a weird series, I'm always halfway to enjoying it but not quite.

Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra vol 6: To some extent things don't feel like they move forward significantly here—the conflict doesn't result in any major power shifts—but shit Vittorio was an interesting addition. Annoying as shit, but very active in driving the plot the whole time. Really enjoyed this one.

Somehow, Leadale was the series that drew me into reading light novels. I enjoyed them at first, but I agree the story is taking far to long to reach any sort of resolution and I'm getting tired of it.

Yeah, I get why and how people enjoy it, but for me it just feels unfocused and continually delays progress. There's been one long-term problem for most of the series the characters just... Genuinely forget about. Makes it feel less like a slice of life and more like the author is just faffing about.

That said, I get just enough enjoyment that I may as well keep going at this point. Eventually it'll bug me to leave it unfinished.
