Something else I finally did today was start watching Jobless Reincarnation.
I really loved that novel when I first read it, practically binged the entire thing on my first reading.
Then I read the redundancy epilogues and my opinion of the story was shattered by the sour aftertaste of all the questionable things the author included.
I really wish I could unread that!

But I thought I wouldn’t be able to enjoy reading or watching it knowing how it turns out but I guess I’ve got over that now and have been reminded how much I loved the main story.
Maybe I can dissociate the web novel version from the light novel, manga and anime versions in my head over time.

Finally caught up with Arpeggio of Blue Steel today.
Man the manga is going in weird directions.
I don’t dislike it but…it’s not what I was expecting at all. I think I slightly prefer the anime version over this one so far.

It’s suddenly become weirdly metaphysical and philosophical!
Like some girl from ancient greece or earlier has just rocked up and dropped the bombshell that super advanced nanotechnology was mistaken for magic in the past?
Also something about souls and psyches existing?
Man it’s weird.

I just want my battleship AI waifus to shoot lasers at each other.

I didn’t include it in the footnotes but there was an amusing translation error in this chapter where a measurement was translated as 7m instead of 70cm.
That measurement was for a hat.
Imagine wearing a 7m tall hat.

This chapter was actually not bad to read for some reason.
Not sure why.
Maybe the author is improving?
