Hmm, nothing really new here. Maybe the villainously leveling demon lord has potential. I like the art at least, and martial conflict requiring strategic superiority is usually interesting. The recent obsession with otome games rears its head again, but we'll just have to bull through it.

Dude reincarnates as villainess. That's a thing now.

Wow, Earl and Fairy's LNs were finally licensed. o.o It's a shame that they aren't going to be printed, but given the length of it, it's likely not worth the cost to begin with. Still, neat to see it finally licensed.

Earl and Fairy novels! Nice! Too bad they're not getting physical releases.
Considering they're using Sound Cadence for the Arifureta audibook, I'm guessing they'll get the cast from the anime back? I wonder if they'll bring back more than just Matt Shipman. |

Is there a date for the Arifureta audiobook? I have found an audio reading of the first 11 LN, but it is the audio reader that you get on Audible, and such for the blind.
I hope it is like L. E. Modesitt recent rereleased audiobooks, they have 2 people, a man and a woman, speaking the novel depending on what gender the perspective is, also they add in battle/fight sounds for those scenes, along with music that fits the scene. The Graphic Audiobooks are like when you have a movie on your 2nd monitor while playing a game or such and it has ll the battle sounds, and other stuff. The point is you can now listen to the book while doing something else. |

Oh man, I have been waiting years for the Earl and Fairy novels to be licensed. This is super exciting news!

Arifureta is almost entirely by the male MC’s POV, so having a female narrator wouldn’t make sense. Also that just drives up the expense, when already audiobooks are an expensive endeavor with a limited paying audience, and Amazon’s monopoly with Audible means they take a massive 75% cut of the revenue. |

Read the first two chapters of 'Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord" and 'Only the Villainous Lord Wields the Power to Level Up" on the J-Novel site.
Found them entertaining enough to want to continue reading further chapters. 'Make It Stop! I'm Not Strong... It's Just My Sword!' sounds interesting, so I will take a gander at it next week when it releases at J-Novel. Sounds like it is a little bit like 'Elric of Melniboné'', though it might be a bit more lighthearted than that series. Also, read the first chapter of 'Dragon Daddy Diaries: A Girl Grows to Greatness' but it is on shakier ground for me. Going to see what direction it takes, hopefully it is more like 'Enough with This Slow Life! I Was Reincarnated as a High Elf and Now I’m Bored'. Buried under all these super long titles..... |

Fake saintess! Nice! I've read some of the manga and it's really funny.
I also remember enjoying the I'm not the Final Boss manga too and it wasn't bad. |

Dragon Daddy Diaries sounds potentially adorable and fun.
