    This past week I read:

    • [My S-Rank Party Fired Me for Being a Cursificer] (https://anilist.co/manga/118519/Akuyaku-Reijou-Level-99-Watashi-wa-Ura-Boss-desu-ga-Maou-de-wa-Arimasen/), another story of a protagonist being kicked from his party, this one is not edgy and its really short right now but I found it hilarious, lowkey it managed to make it make sense why the party of the protagonist rejected him when he was so OP, the protagonist is of course an oblivious idiot at recognizing his own standing, but it has been funny seeing him fight with varied tools.

    • Villainess Level 99, another villainess on an isekai rpg, here the protagonist reincarnates as the hidden last boss in a game and takes the chance to level up to guarantee her safety, she manages to reach max rank before school even starts which became a problem. This manga has some charm, I really like how the protagonist became sort of an adrenaline junky at leveling up.

    • Classroom of the Elite, I decided to stop reading at ch 58, I just havent found it interesting, while there are some 900 IQ plays nothing has really felt that exiting, I did like the protagonist personality at the island test.

    • Chio’s school road, its kind of a surreal comedy where we follow a girl going to school who gets into crazy situations, I was really enjoying it but the author started putting on some weird ecchi and weird jokes about sexual harrasment (for example the trope of the predatory lesbian, also an oji san that ends up homeless after groping high school girls on the train), which are played for laughs but felt weird and mismatched.

    I also finished two of the manga I had started last week, being Helck and Transfer Student Storm Bringer (transfer students has a really wild ending, I loved how it ended)

      I love Villainess Level 99. Yumiela is up there with Bakarina when it comes to oblivious Otome MCs. You really feel for Patrick sometimes. It’s one of my favorites in the genre and genuinely funny.

        It has been really enjoyable, I do need to wait for it to develop a bit more before putting it in such a high place. I have been loving the weird egg + pet dragon arc, really cute.
