<Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table> vol 4 - bit on the aftermath of Cloudy Beach, then a fair amount of time spent following Yuki in the real world, which is a new thing. Then a particularly disturbing game called Halloween Night and the introduction of a new villain.

Started Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table vol 5, but had only made it part way through when I watched the latest episode of Agents of the Four Seasons, which was sort of simultaneously interesting and disappointing. I've been suspecting this for a while, and this episode really drove home the feeling that the adaptation is breezing past details and failing to tell the full story as it was originally told. I was pretty certain the original was an LN, so I looked it up, and sure enough it is (and by Akatsuki Kana, the author of Violet Evergarden, which is a detail I remember learning before the season started, but had since forgotten), so I switched immediately to that - <Agents of the Four Seasons> Vol 1: Dance of Spring Part I. About a quarter of the way through, and already it has gone into more detail, but nothing really significant yet.

Let me know how Agents of the Four Seasons is when you're finished. I'm interested but the first 2 anime episodes didn't make me pick it up.

Hello Bookworm! I looked it up, and the Library in Alexandria — which just so happens to be the greatest in all of Yurgenschmidt, nay... even the entire world — has the following entries:

Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table by Yen Press: 📖 Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; 🖥️ Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

: Volume 5 by Rika - ★★★☆☆, 168 MynePages™ - First half of the summer vacation arc. Since Patience is spending more time with her brothers, her obsession with them is in full force again, though.

: Volume 6 Eld Republic Arc by arukuhito - ★★★☆☆, 195 MynePages™ - It's one of those where everything could be prevented if the guy with the all-powerful analyze/appraisal skill would use it once in a while.

<A Livid Lady’s Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with My Mighty Grimoires> Volume 7 by Hagure Metabo - ★★★☆☆, 131 MynePages™ - A weaker volume in the series, but the afterword makes it sound as if this was intentional, and this volume served as the prologue for the next volume.

<The Abandoned Reincarnation Sage: Building a Mighty Empire of Monsters Within the Monsters' Forest.> - Volume 04 by Miraizin A - ★★☆☆☆, 151 MynePages™ - MC goes on the offensive with a group of Beresdahl elites. Most of the volume is just one fighting scene after the other. Might be interesting if this gets an anime adaptation, but as a book it's utterly boring to read.
