Oh no, isekai is coming for my sci-fi next! Not that they make all that much good sci-fi anime to begin with tbh.

@Mercuri@ani.social how many copies did you buy?

Trapped in a Dating sim and reincarnated as a sword were both in top 10 best sellers.

[–] Mercuri@ani.social 3 points 11 hours ago

Just the usual amount. You know, one physical to read, one physical to keep pristine, one kindle edition, and 4997 copies just in case. Nothing weird about that.

(I do find it funny that my favorites are all over that list though, lol)

I want to see numbers of MT 26 vs Bookworm P5V12. Final volume against final volume. But I guess I would be angry about MT for existing anyway even if it sold just one copy.
