    i didn't want to read LLS, but not for that reason. I only didnt want to read it cause of how douchebaggy the mc was. From the reviews, it seemed like he was more douchebaggy than Smooth Che

    ff6 was good fun but i preferred 7/8/9 and tactics.
    Yeah I know it's a little strange.
    He's pretty funny though I think, it's refreshing to see someone who embraces the trash title and kinda throws it back in everyone's faces.
    The current bit is so good though!

    I thought I wouldn't like TGD for a while before I started reading it.

    If the cover shows a girl in erotic pose or erotic clothes... yeah, I can guess the content.

    Agh 9 is the best! Especially if you would enjoy a throwback to the old fantasy setting in comparison to 7 and 8.
    I think the bloody queen should be enough to do whatever he needs done

    Yep, I judge book by their covers... After reading the synopsis.

    Like some of you, the cover from LLS put me off. I started reading it yesterday, now reading chap 87 on another tab. His douchebaggy personality pisses me of sometimes, especially how he treated the wolf, and how he still refused to give her the technique to raise her thorny plant after everything that happened and what he learned about the demons, and what he learned about the family circumstances. And I don't like how he see everyone else as NPCs.
    ...This is one of those novels where you don't know wether to be happy or sad that you picked them...
    Same with Close Combat Mage (more fights and adventure, MC is too smart for a kid who used to live slightly isolated with just his mother without books or friends), Against The Gods (the guy has too much cheats (2 relics, ultimate profound veins, a super master that saves his life)) and a few others...
