地獄変
Completed chapter 16! Throughout reading this I’ve been thinking, I feel like I know this story, not sure where I’ve read/seen it before, but it’s great being able to read it in Japanese.

・ 拝啓見知らぬ旦那様、離婚していただきますV〈下〉 (45% → 100%)
Somehow woke up while the clock showed 4 am something. That would mean it would have been 5 something if the clock had not been turned back one hour last night. Didn’t feel like I would get much more sleep, so instead I read a bunch. Reached 75%. Read more after following the Kuzuha Cup for 5h.
Finished book! Last of a three-book arc and caught up on the series. 2/5 stars. It was getting horrible 
Even the author acknowledged they didn’t know where they were going with the plot until the end. How is it possible to write so annoying characters. Reminds me of another book I rated 2 stars at the beginning of this year: ソフィア、君は死んでいないのか?
Anyway! Finally done with this series. What to read next? 
Edit: I found next book 
・ 結界師の一輪華 1 (0% → 17%)
It doesn’t have a grading yet on natively, but it suggests L32??. サクッと読める. I like it so far, the writing is not horrible, haha. Fantasy youkai(?) magic type of genre. And romance eventually.

I played 英雄伝説 碧の軌跡 for a bit. Just running around in the old mine and trying to find the exit. Thanks god it is a video game and not real live. Just imagining running around in an old mine which is probably full of bugs and spiders. No thank you.

Some more 英雄伝説 碧の軌跡.
I finally made it out of the mine and there were some shocking revelations. Apparently ランディ family are somehow working for Erebonia and we may have to fight them. Lol ランディcousin is the girl who likes fondling other girls, it seems the whole family is probably full of pervy people.
Also there was some typical Legend of Heroes nonsense. I assume the bad guys appeared foreshadowing future events. We are planning something but we won’t tell you what. The games would be much better without these scenes.

地獄変
Didn’t think I’d get enough time for a whole chapter but managed to finish chapter 17… I mean this chapter contains the moment the whole story has been building to, so I couldn’t just leave it at reading half the chapter.
This book is hilarious.October 25
I didn’t have much time I just read manga magazines.
28th october
started a new manga (content warning for toxic relationships in that one) and read a grand total of two pages in my non-fiction book… it’s been a slow day.
