I finally finished 86 a couple of days ago. I don't think I've seen many military fantasy stories but I enjoyed it. I think the worldbuilding was done really well and the characters feel real. I also liked how it didn't firmly establish how a character really is and kept some of that ambiguity where people don't fully understand their own feelings and never really do. I'll pick up the LNs sometime. Maybe in a few months because I wanna finish reading the new volume of MagiRevo and the rest of CotE.

I should start commenting here more often. I only really come to this sub when I want to discuss new episodes or find recommendations but it's not like I have so little time I can't even discuss the stuff I clear off my backlog.

I wish I had more time for LNs. I used to read much more of them as I used to spend a long time on the train each day commuting. However, with a change in role and post-pandemic I mostly work from home these days.

Confession time, I haven't watched 86 despite having only heard excellent things about it. Someday...

I feel you. I set aside a couple of hours to read novels before sleeping but I used to read waaay more during the day. I miss the days where I could just read an entire novel series on a whim over the course of three days.
