I am back from vacation, but not fully back really, because I got sick basically as soon as I got back. I have been able to do some catching up on the backlog though and even checked out some new series. Some notes:

Yuusha Party wo Tsuihousareta Shiro Madoushi, S Rank Boukensha ni Hirowareru ~Kono Shiro Madoushi ga Kikakugai Sugiru~ / The White Mage Who was Banished from the Hero's Party is Picked up by an S Rank Adventurer: This White Mage is Too Out of the Ordinary!

I perused this series a bit and ended up dropping it. The whole time I was reading it I kept waiting for the thing that would make this story different. It never came... I feel like I read this series before because it seems to follow a very generic and predictable path.

Tsuma no Kigen de Tenkou ga Kawaru Hanashi / The Story of How My Wife's Mood Changes the Weather

I checked out the first couple chapters of this series while waiting to board a flight, so I am only 3 chapters in. However, I don't think I am going to continue it. It feels a bit original though in its combination of setting with supernatural elements. I could be persuaded to continue this.

Lunch Break at the Secret Table

This is a quick oneshot that I liked, but felt that it didn't really do much. I came out of it wondering what the point of the story was.

Tsuihousareru Tabi ni Skill wo Te ni Ireta Ore ga, 100 no Isekai de 2-shuume Musou / I Got a New Skill Every Time I Was Exiled, and After 100 Different Worlds, I Was Unmatched

This series has been great. It's premise and title make it seem awfully generic and contrived, but the execution has been great. The most recent chapter simultaneously beautifully ended an arc and set up a crazy hook so that I cannot wait for more. I have enjoyed this series way, way more than I thought I would when I started.

It definitely made me hungry.
