<Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody,> - Volume 25 by Hiro Ainana - ★★★½☆, 153 MynePages™ - Second shortest volume in the series that gave me more of a "mini filler arc" impression. I prefer my filler volumes to be more lighthearted. Coming right from a large-scale battle arc, and then jumping into the same thing just in compressed form felt unnecessary to me. The author is falling into that battle shounen trap: when everything is always redlining the high-stakes meter, then nothing is. I also need some help interpreting what is happening on the cover there.

- Volume 6 by Rika - ★★★★☆, 194 MynePages™ - A very entertaining volume. They introduced a new character here who is annoying Patience to no end, and it's hilarious. I just fear that they are pushing this into a romance direction a couple of volumes down the line, which would be fucked up (guy is in his 20s and Patience is 11).

<The Abandoned Reincarnation Sage: Building a Mighty Empire of Monsters Within the Monsters' Forest.> - Volume 5 by Miraizin A - ★★½☆☆, 130 MynePages™ - This pisses me off to an absurd degree. The promised "building a Mighty Empire" has been reduced to one and a half pages. I'm not exaggerating. The entire building of the titular empire is 568 words. There are four and a half volumes of fighting battle after battle; then comes that "and then he built the empire - the end" in a page. And then an epilogue where he visits every corner of his empire and fucks his delegate in each. Why put the "building" into the title in the first place when the building is only happening as an afterthought in a time skip? Pisses me off.

- Volume 3 by Mitsuru Inoue - ★★★☆☆, 150 MynePages™ - Good guilty pleasure volume with a school festival arc.
