So:

  • The Wandering Inn - Fun SoL Fantasy, with quality world building
  • 裏世界ピクニック - Horror, elements of sci-fi, with references to 2channel creepypastas, and has that atmosphere of unknown, like in Roadside Picnic
  • Quarter Share - Sci-fi novel, a bit of weird one, but.. a good one.
  • ROLL OVER AND DIE - Dark Fantasy Light Novel with lots of suffering, gruesome stuff and such.

I'm also reading the Wandering Inn. I'd never read it before and it's my go to right now when I've got twenty minutes of so to read. It's very long, which is nice but sometimes frustrating when pacing slows down. At 5.56 G no spoilers!

I am at 3.19 T As much as I do adore action, I also do like the moments when.. everything gets slower and such. It just is nice to chill out with.

Oh definitely. The chill chapters are some of my favorites. Where I get frustrated is where it's high tension but feels like nothing is happening to move the plot forward. It's only happened a couple times, but I've just stepped away from the series for a week or two and come back.
