Reincarnated as a Sword is only up to audiobook 4? But the books are already up to volume 15! Catch up already! More people need to experience Fran!
Anyway, my LN Reading List right now is basically:
- Reincarnated as a Sword
- Failure Frame
- Trapped in a Dating Sim
Solo-Leveling is finished and I read all those. And for more indie (ie Kindle Unlimited) stuff I have:
- The Villainess is a SS+ Rank Adventurer
- The False Hero
- Rise of the Cheat Potion Maker
I was reading The Weakest Summoner but it was never THAT good and the 9th book read like a bad fanfic and I just couldn’t do it any more.
AAAANNNNYYYWAAAYYY… I have a bad tendency to just reread Reincarnated as a Sword on loop instead of checking out new things so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know. It’s always such a HUGE gamble to check out anything on Kindle Unlimited. Sometimes they are great, but sometimes the writing is so bad I want to gouge my eyes out. You know how you can report typos and stuff on Kindle? One book was so bad I was reporting PLOT errors. Like, where the protagonist literally FORGOT the last chapter had just happened and then did something that made absolutely no sense. I ended up calling him Amnesia-MC.
Anyway, I know stuff that’s not on Kindle Unlimited is going to generally be a lot higher quality but I don’t want to buy into a book series and then it sucks either. I have been thinking about getting into So I’m a Spider So What or Arifuerta since I love the animes so much though.
Are you sure you didn’t fall for an AI book scam?
Amazon has self-publishing service and there are scammers that pump out AI slop on the mass on amazon.
If you have kindle / ereader there are ways to sideload / pirate ebooks.
Are you sure you didn’t fall for an AI book scam?
I’m not saying it’s impossible, but the book was published over a year before ChatGPT’s release. Also that’s not the impression I got from the writing. When I looked up the author, he had another series he was still writing as well. My guess is he would jump back and forth between the two tales, but would also just publish a book without even bothering to reread it and didn’t have an editor. He WAS rapidly pumping them out every few months and I blamed that for the very unpolished nature of the book. If anything, I was more suspicious of the ratings as the book was rated over 4 stars, which is absurd for how bad it was.
Just for kicks I looked up my book review:
“By the third book the writing gets extremely sloppy. I found myself constantly reporting plot content errors. Let me reiterate this point. As a reader, I was pointing out how the author of the work was clearly wrong describing aspects of the world they themselves had created. Names of characters and languages were changed at random simply because the author forgot what he had named the character before. Other side characters were forgotten entirely even if they had been waiting for the main character to get back to them. Numerous times the main character inexplicably forgot his own exploits, claiming he had never done a task he had literally performed several pages prior. It became a struggle to get any sense of the plot with things being so inconsistent.”
OMG, I forgot that the author would misspell people’s names constantly! Like in one chapter a person would show up, “Hi, I’m Blake Cashmir” and then in a later chapter, “If it isn’t Black Cushmire!” Like it really did feel like the author was just banging them out without doing any proofreading or outlining or anything.
If you like to read a story about even more bad literature I will leave this write up here:

Female characters stripping and/or having sex with something/someone is a frequent solution to any problem
Reading all that reawakening some psychic damage I received from the aforementioned terrible book I read. I’m sure I had blocked these memories from my mind as part of some PTSD response. Allow me to elaborate.
The first woman the MC sees after he’s been isekai’d is an elf. In this new world, humans and demi-humans (like elves) don’t get along. Since our MC isn’t originally from this world he says that the beautiful, near-naked elf looks beautiful. She can’t believe this because clearly elves are revolting to humans. So naturally she has sex with him. Because CLEARLY he’s lying and would be far too disgusted to have sex with an elf, revealing his true colors!
I wish I was making that up.
Reincarnated as a Sword … More people need to experience Fran!
I tried picking it up where the Anime ended but only got a chapter or 2 in before I stopped. I really enjoyed the anime and want more Fran in my life but just couldn’t get into it at the time. I will need to try it again after such enthusiasm

I have the same problem with the ones I enjoy. I read So I’m a Spider, So What? twice and I was going through Didn’t I say to make my abilities average again.
I have been thinking about getting into So I’m a Spider So What or Arifuerta since I love the animes so much though.
So I’m a Spider, So What? - I would say it’s worth a read, it was actually the first one I read as people kept saying the anime won’t get a second season and I really wanted to know what happens to her. It’s not my favourite but I did enjoy it. There are parts that drag on and the second time I skimmed almost a whole volume as it doesn’t focus on the MC, so I just read the bits where she is involved. The weird time jumps stop after where the anime finishes but you still get chapters from other people perspectives through out the story, which can be enjoyable but others have mentioned they dislike.

I would probably recommend reading from the beginning. Or from where you meet Fran. If the LN is a 10/10, the anime is a 6/10 at best. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the anime but it waters down a lot of the world-building and character development. And Fran is an amazing character to see develop. Definitely would recommend more Fran in your life!
I was going through Didn’t I say to make my abilities average again.
And I totally forgot about Average Abilities! I loved the anime and always wanted to know more about the world with how the anime had a teaser ending! I might have to check that out now, especially since you’ve read it twice.
So I’m a Spider, So What? - I would say it’s worth a read
Well, that’s another vote for Spider Isekai! Yeah, even with the anime people were upset with the episodes without Spider-chan. The one thing the anime did really well was disguise that there was a time skip. I loved that there were still enough hints about the time-skip that the revelation feels good and mind-blowing. I’ve also read a bit of the Spider Isekai wiki to know there’s a lot more depth to things than what’s presented in the anime. As time passes, it does seem less likely we’ll get that season 2, which is a shame.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback! Very appreciated!
I don’t know what’s on Kindle Unlimited but as far as recommendations go I would put Death March to the Parallel Rhapsody forward. I think it got a similar vibe as Reincarnated as a Sword in the sense that it feels more like a travel log with some occasional fights in between. Death March is more on the comfy side though.

Oh, I did enjoy that anime even if it’s a bit ridiculous.

Based on how you described it, it also sounds a bit similar to The False Hero in that it’s more of a travel log with comfy vibes so I think I’d definitely enjoy it. Thanks for the suggestion! Added it to my reading list now!

A good call. Defiantly worth reading. Karion says so too.
Nice, a new Soup Forrest. The first one was the most comfy LN I’ve read all
dayyear.The first one was the most comfy LN I’ve read all day.
HOW MANY LIGHT NOVELS ARE YOU READING IN A DAY?
(I will also look forward to that soup forest.)
Dang it, I meant all year.
Well in the read this week post NineSwords did say:
managed to read this one in one go last night
So if that just the night I would say at least 4 assuming no sleep, or can they read in their sleep? Listening to 1 LN while reading another?
If they read 1 novel a day it would be still be technically true.
They could learn some world fastest reading techniques and “read” couple dozen novels a day.
If they would listen to audiobooks, 3-4 novels would be achievable with speed multiplier.
I managed to read four volumes sometimes when the dice just fell right: I had nothing to do that day, felt motivated, read good, easy-to-read volumes, and was able to focus for the whole day.
But this time y’all are overthinking. Checking Myne’s posts is the first thing I do on Monday mornings once I get to work, so this is just a combination of being barely conscious, the Monday blues, and distracting colleagues.
