I wonder why the whole Sonic 3 <-> Sonic & Knuckles combination almost always gets stiffed on these collections, what with the combination possibilities with those two into one gigantic Sonic game that doesn't rely on Sonic Generations's annoying "use a chunk of an earlier stage to make various trial events" artificial game lengthening techniques.

I have an older Sonic compilation on the PS2 that manged this, so there's no real excuse to leave it out. Although they didn't include either Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles without being able to do the cartridge attach thing, I kind of suspect that's also the reason why they aren't included.

While the Amazon listing of My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! shows a paperback coming in August 2019, that is just Amazon being stupid and linking Seven Sea's preorder for their release of the manga. At this point there are no plans for a paperback for the light novel, as far as I can tell.

In the book section, the last one calls the main character a "prostitute". Is it possible to change it to "sex worker"? Prostitute is a slur and shouldn't be used.

Heck, even the title of the book doesn't use it.

^That's my mistake, and while I can't change it myself, I'm sure one of the editors will. I'm not sure how I missed the change, but I really do apologize, especially since the book goes out of its way not to stigmatize sex workers.

Am I missing something, or is the screenshot from Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far a picture from one of the Yakuza games?

Kingdom Hearts appears to have the same screenshot as Yakuza.

"Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!", which desperately needs an abbreviated title (Average Abilities?), is a pretty fun series; kinda surprised to see that in this guide. The manga looked pretty low-quality and fanservicey from what I saw of it, though, so best to stick to the light novels. Hopefully the planned anime version will be better.

This bugs me, and I mean really bugs me. Selling , renting, or buying human beings is not okay; It is the opposite of okay: It is plain wrong and disgusting. You wouldn't think well of someone who bought a slave so why is someone being rented okay? Why have the idea that it's okay to purchase or sell faked intimacy? Why not work towards people being treated with dignity and worth, beyond any sort of belief in their use as a commodity?

Prostitute is not a slur; It is a plain word used to describe someone who sells sex. Please, please, rethink how you view human beings. Please. We, as a species, are worth it.

Prostitute is a slur because it contributes to the dehumanization, and criminalization of sex workers.
Dehumanization, just like you're doing in your comment.

I've fixed the Kingdom Hearts picture, thanks to all who pointed it out. Someone else also changed the wording in the JK Haru description earlier.
