    Lacey Longs for Freedom: The Dawn Witch’s Low-Key Life after Defeating the Demon King Volume 1 - Super timid and low-confidence MC. Think Watamote levels of low confidence. It’s also her only personality trait. It gets (slightly) better over the span of the volume, but for a good chunk of it, it’s annoying to read. It’s nice to see the hero being a good guy for a change, though. In the last couple of years, novels have been doing this subversion of expectation thing where the hero is a scumbag, up to the point where I now feel a good hero to be the subversion instead.

    The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects: Volume 5 - Dragon hunting in the snow this time. I swear the volumes in this series are just flying by in what feels like minutes.
