This past week has been a lot of catching up on backlog. There are a couple series I caught up on that I wanted to mention:
This story has been better than I thought it would be based on the premise. Basically, the MC sees a classmate that is essentially homeless and offers to let her stay at his place. The series then goes through all the ways that the MC and friends try to improve the image of this girl. Think things like makeover, study sessions, social activities, etc. I think the thing that has kept me hooked so far is that everything is being done on a timeline. The MC is moving away at the end of the current term, so their goal is to get this girl self sufficient prior to his leaving. Anyway, I have enjoyed it in a guilty pleasure kind of way, so thought I would share.
This one is a fantasy/reincarnation story about a human hero that ends up getting reincarnated as the seventh demon prince. He then vows to carry out his role of killing the demon lord from within the ranks of the demon army. It has been interesting, but I am not sure I will stick with it. The thing that kind of kept me going with this series was the magic system. The MC makes a pact with essentially the God of Taboo. So, the more taboos he breaks, the more powerful he can become. The biggest taboo of all, of course, would be betraying his (current) people and family and killing the demon lord. The story has been pretty slow though, so I had let some chapters pile up, but I just binged them to get caught up and it is still kind of slow.
I think I mentioned this one before, but I have been enjoying it lately. The main couple is pretty cute and the guy isn't a complete idiot (though the girl can be). Also, it is about college students (specifically law students) instead of another high school setting, so that is nice. Also, there are heavy elements of livestreaming and the parasocial relationships that get formed between streamer and viewer that complicate the relationship. It's fun!
