Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil aka Quick Transmigration: Face Slapping Demon

You know, lately I was looking for stories to reread and I went through my reading list to try to find a good one. That’s when I remembered Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil, and I must say that even on a third reading, it still slaps!

Of course, my all-time favorite is still The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love because it has the best MC, ML, and satisfying ending, but Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil is honestly S-tier, too.

What are your personal favorites?

Thanks for reading and have a great week!

Related Topic: What happened to Scum Villain Season 2?

Seriously, what is up with that? It should have been released ages ago. Why is there no news about it?

Does anyone know if it will still be released? Or at least maybe someone knows why it won’t be released.

I know the first season was a little bit rough, and many people, including me at first, were not too happy that it was 3D, but when I did watch it, I liked it. So I’ve been looking forward to more episodes. The second season would’ve been so exciting! There’s so much action and drama in the story that hasn’t been animated yet!

I really hope we can get more adaptations of The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System.

The website hosting bill is $198.05

If you would like to help with the bill, I have a Ko-Fi.

The website is pretty popular which means we get a decent amount of traffic, so we need robust website hosting. I did try to shop around for something cheaper, but the ones I checked were either more expensive, the same price, or only slightly cheaper. I don’t want to go through the hassle of moving hosts if the price difference is like twenty cents per month.

Besides, almost all the website hosting plans I saw had some rather deceptive marketing. Like, they would offer really cheap hosting, but in the small print it says “only for the first year” then one would have to pay a lot more (like 3x more) the next year.

There were also some that offered “unlimited*” or “unmetered*” packages. See that asterisk? It means there’s a catch. It’s unmetered/unlimited unless your website “consumes too many resources” whereupon your website goes offline. So… “unlimited*” and “unmetered*” actually means the opposite. All the plans are limited and metered!

Of course, that’s probably okay for most websites, but not for BC Novels since it uses a lot of bandwidth.

Have a great day, everyone!

I’m Sick and Tired of My Childhood Friend’s, Now Girlfriend’s, Constant Abuse so I Broke up With Her

Light novel and Manga titles can be so long! Anyway, I was reading “I’m Sick and Tired of My Childhood Friend’s, Now Girlfriend’s, Constant Abuse so I Broke up With Her” (Original Title: 幼馴染彼女のモラハラがひどいんで絶縁宣言してやった) and thought it was pretty good though not many chapters have been released yet. I just hope it doesn’t become super dark and tragic in the end.

Summary:

My childhood friend is also my girlfriend. A dream come true, right? Hell no. She insults me on a daily basis. She grinds my dignity into shreds and it takes a toll on my mental well-being. I can’t take it anymore.

And thus, the story of my break up begins…

Have you read any good books lately?

Recently, I was rereading Ursula Le Guin’s Earthsea books. Although the books start off as a coming-of-age story about the main character who attends a magic school ala Harry Potter, I am not sure if this series is meant for children.

The Earthsea books tell the story of the Archipelago of Earthsea, a world of islands filled with magic. The main protagonist of the first book is Ged, a young wizard who discovers his immense power and sets out on a journey to master it. Along the way, he confronts many dangers, including dragons and other magical creatures, and learns about the power of balance and harmony in the world.

Le Guin’s writing is thoughtful and full of insight into human nature. I really enjoyed reading her books.

Let me know if you have any books you can recommend to an Earthsea fan.

Thanks for reading.

Have you been watching House of the Dragon?

I thought the new series based on Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings would be this season’s big hit, but it seems that HBO’s House of the Dragon is what people are talking about.

When I first heard about this series, I didn’t know what to think. I have read Fire and Blood, the book it’s based on. It was written like a history written by the maesters, and it’s quite bloody indeed. Now that I have watched five episodes of House of the Dragon, I’m really enjoying seeing this history come to life on the small screen. I recommend it to people who are looking for a new fantasy TV series to watch.

I’m not saying that it’s a masterpiece. It’s not. However, I do enjoy watching it.

What do you think about House of the Dragon? I haven’t watched The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power yet. Is it worth watching?

Thanks for reading this post.

The Noble Girl With a Crush on a Plain and Studious Guy Finds the Arrogant Prince to Be a Nuisance

I know it’s a weird title, but hear me out. This manga has just been completely scanlated at 16.5 chapters, and it’s really good. The ending is super satisfying though I can’t say that it was a very complex story or anything like that. It’s the story of two students who fell in love, but the crown prince of the kingdom sets his eyes on the female main character.

This is one of those rare stories where the revenge that they take is so enjoyable that it makes up for having to suffer the annoying prince character.

Cheerful and free-spirited Sharina first met the studious and somber Riol when he saved her from mortal danger, and she fell in love with him at first sight.

In short, it’s a pretty nice manga with a good story, and it’s complete which means you don’t have to wait to read the ending.

I really liked it.

Otome Isekai – Have you heard of it?

Lately, I have been reading a lot of otome isekai manga.

What is otome isekai?

Otome Isekai is a sub-genre of Isekai where the main character(s) are in some way transported to another world that resembles an otome game. – source: Reddit

“Isekai” simply means “another world” which, in this context, refers to works (novels, manga, anime, etc.) where the protagonist is transported into another world.

“Otome” means “maiden” but specifically refers to “otome games” when talking about isekai. Otome games are dating sim visual novel games (Mystic Messenger, Sakura Wars, Doki Doki Literature Club, etc.) targeted towards women. The goal of such games is to progress towards a route that allows the player to win the hearts of various capture targets.

In short, it’s a genre where the main character gets transported into the world of an otome game (or sometimes a novel) where she has foreknowledge of the plot/future.

Have you read any otome isekai and did you like it? I’m always looking for more recommendations!

Here are some examples:

Summary: I recovered my past memories when I was hit on the head by a rock. I am Katarina Claes, the eight-year-old daughter of the duke. In a feverish nightmare, in which the prince’s fiancee was determined, I have realized that this is the otome game from the previous life.

In an Otome Game World, I’m a Villain?! I Can’t Accept This!

Once she saw that, Rikka’s memories resurfaced. It appears that this world was from an otome game her little sister used to play in her past life. And, according to the screen, the young boy’s favorable rating for her was an impossible minus 30!
