Making Magic: The Sweet Life of a Witch Who Knows an Infinite MP Loophole Volume 6 - The book takes about a good two-thirds of it being fluffy SoL and then one-third on the actual plot point of the volume. For my taste, a 50-50 distribution would have been better or 50 more pages added to the later part so that that part didn’t feel so rushed. I hope there will be some kingdom-building in the next volume. I always enjoy those types of stories and the current plot would lend itself to it. - 6/10

Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord: Production Magic Turns a Nameless Village into the Strongest Fortified City Volume 2 - Super entertaining volume. After struggling to keep interested in- and ultimately dropping two other series, I was able to finish this one in one continuous sitting. It’s not really anything deep or gripping, but just really easy to read. - 7/10

Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord: Production Magic Turns a Nameless Village into the Strongest Fortified City

I read both volumes 1 and 2 this week. It was a bit entertaining but there was nothing special about the story. I got particularly annoyed that the MC was doing just about everything by himself and everyone else is practically doing nothing.

Hopefully, the characters get fleshed out by the next volume.
