The Only Thing I'd Do in a No-Boys-Allowed Game World - I am 80% sure that this one has been praised by u/quof [bookworm translator] I will check it out.
Jiggle physics that matter
Neat meme. I would change the second "need" into "want" as thriving is a choice and the way that you will thrive is up to you not up to your circumstances.
Reset! The Imprisoned Princess Dreams of Another Chance! - vol 1 - Bland and dull as ditch water. It couldn't keep my attention. MC is a sheltered princess that goes back in time. The time stuff doesn't have any serious consequences for the plot. The romance doesn't have any time to flourish and instead is hand waved by time skips. And this is supposed to be a romance novel.
side story that destroyed any hopes for good plot developement
So MC gets a magic stone in the transmigration. Later we are told that the stones are important and they hold half of the persons soul. Now at the end of the book there is side story from ML perspective that made said stone in the future and he absorbs it into his body. I expected something to happen, like the memories from the future go back to him, but NO… Nothing Ever Happens.
Terrible novel. Would not recommend.
Train travel blog would also be a good recommendation.
The closest media I know would be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_to_the_End_of_the_World It's an anime not a book and it's not great. After the first episode it has its charm.
“Cordula... might I be as blind to the feelings of men as Lady Rozemyne?”
No, at least you are aware of your shortcomings unlike Our Gremlin.
“Not only did you fail to consider matters thoroughly, but your timing was also rather poor...” Cordula went on. “Or perhaps it was excellent. […]"
I hope the finale will be Rube Goldberg machine of perfect timings.
“To think my greatest rival in love would end up being Lady Rozemyne...”
He didn't have any chances from the very start
I have read halfway and it tingles my funny bone for sure. The thing that is most wrong with it for now is editorial stuff and half-assed translation. Some jokes I can somewhat guess what are indeded in japanese but land flat. Some that are situational land great. In editorial stuff for example, retrospection section isn't clearly marked. There are sentences that just hang there like some sort of broken print. (I hope that is just my high seas version and not the official one)
After a bit of thought, I wanted to compare Eminance in the Shadow with this but the MC is different. Hiiro is sincere in his unhigedness. He clearly wants to manipulate feelings for his enjoyement but at the same time he wants to be a good guy. Eminance thinks that the world is a stage for him to perform. Being unhinged dosen't matter as he lives in different world than everyone else. Hiiro on the other hand lives in reality but his fetish clashes with being virtous. The novel doesn't acknowladge this inner conflict and instead focuses on conflict between MC and The World.
The most comparable novel I can think of is Mushoku tensei. Sone bad stuff, some good stuff. I will see if the plot/comedy in this is as good as mushoku.
P.S.
That is meant to be funny and it is just sad.
