Loot (31st December 2017) - Comic Market 93

This week's loot (28th May 2017)

So I was in Kyoto last week and only just got round to uploading the Uzumasa Moe cafe photos I took. I'll probably get round to uploading other photos next week or something. Can't be bothered to do so now, at least.

I just finished reading Imouto Sae Ireba Ii #7. It should be noted that I started on #1 three days ago. This series is good.

I haven't been reading light novels a lot at all for the past few years- It's not that I lost interest or anything like that, it's just that I had a lot of books built up in my backlog that I never got around to reading and didn't feel it was appropriate to buy more when I hadn't read those, but ended up on this series purely on a whim and here we are. I'd been reading Hirasaka Yomi's stuff since around the time Haganai first started, going back to previous stuff like Nekuroma and Ranobe-bu as well, but I kind of got busy around the time #10 came out and though I did buy it and #11 never got round to reading them, or pretty much anything else since then (up till now the only Japanese novels I can recall reading in the past 2-3 years or so are Strange Fake and a couple of doujin releases by Kiduki).

But yeah I started this on a whim, and it was good, and it's got me wanting to read more and I went and grabbed the first three volumes of Eromanga-sensei and Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata (digital as usual, of course). I did ultimately end up reading all of Oreimo (Eromanga-sensei's Fushimi Tsukasa's previous series) and I've always loved Maruto Fumiaki's games.

If I do get round to catching up with those I'd been meaning to look into Date A Live (I loved the writer's debut series, Soukyuu no Karuma) ever since it started (which means that, yes, I've been procrastinating on that for six years). Also it turns out that two new volumes of Cop Craft completely managed to slip under my radar, and I STILL haven't gotten round to reading the latest volume of Seikai no Senki yet.

Unrelated: Thanks to all the reading I've been doing I still haven't finished that Barzam.

This week's loot (26th March 2017)

This and last week's loot (5th March 2017)

Cleared SRW V. It was okay. Writing wasn't exceptionally bad, but isn't at all good. Can't help but feel that the Z series was written better, even with its horrible original enemies.

Fate/Grand Order and Sennensensou Aigis

Been playing Fate/GO since about January, and Aigis for a bit over two years now, but while I've been posting stuff on Twitter sometimes I just realised I hadn't done so on the blog, so yeah, my stuff in both games. Haven't been playing Kankore much at all lately, didn't even clear much of the last event.

Fate/GO is a horrible, horrible game but the story does enough cool stuff on occasion enough to keep me interested. Helps that I actually registered for the game pretty early on (about half a year before I started playing) and so started off with a fuckton of free summoning stuff when I actually started, which got me Mordred right off the bat. Being able to "play" (amounting to jabbing at the screen while barely paying attention to) it while watching shows or whatever helps, since I suffer from this obsessive need to multitask at all times but don't want to play actual games (which I want to appreciate) while watching shows.

Meanwhile, Sennensensou Aigis is just fun. It's sort of a tower defence game with RPG elements, but you end up aiming for a perfect (three star) rating on each stage because obtaining one gets you one of the items needed for the gacha, and so each stage ultimately ends up as a puzzle tailored specifically for you (since everyone has different lineups of units). Despite being a free to play browser game it's actually a good game.

I also tried to play Suparobo X-Ω but it was so fucking garbage that I stopped after like fifteen minutes. This is coming from someone who
1) Loves Suparobo
2) Doesn't even like Type Moon all that much but is playing Fate/GO 
So yeah, X-Ωis pretty fucking bad.
