Hello Everyone!

What are you all reading?

I am currently going through a re-read of Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Currently on 2nd book, Fool Moon.

Combatants will be Dispatched is hilarious. It might be the dumbest, most useless cast of characters I've ever read about. After a couple of volumes most of the main conflicts are problems they caused for themselves which is very satisfying.

I find I read a lot of web novels (or more commonly the graphic adaptations) to tweak certain tropes I crave now and then. It's not often I find one that is actually just a satisfying read chapter to chapter. Light novels are often similar, but they've gone through some more editing and development so it's more common for a volume to actually be some sort of satisfying chunk of story to read.

If you're looking for genuinely good reads, I recommend Apothecary Diaries, Death's Daughter and the Ebony Blade, or the Monogatari series. If you want some dumb fun there are so many options, but The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat, Konosuba, and I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level are a few different but good ones.
