I finished reading the 2nd Light Novel.

Events didn’t occur in the same order. They squeezed them together here and there.

Some were skipped entirely. Some important ones too.

Like some the things Benno teaches her about her new world. Or how many failures they had making the paper.

Well, skip parts it's usual, also happen when USA made a Book adpatation to a film. (Harry Poter) ...
So then you can enjoy better to read the LN after watched the anime, if that is what let you to the LN, or avoid to see exactly the same …
well, is my thought. hehe.

Any way, am I really happy that the 2nd season is coming early.

Whaaaaat, they skipped over the whole fuss over the pound cake in ep 11. That's a big part of the story in the LN. Maybe they'll continue it later.
Edit: Ok, looks like it'll probably continue at least a little bit.

Lord almighty. As cute as the anime is, it really crunches shit down. This issue was resolved in...32 seconds.

Image

It took 32 seconds to go from a major problem to a resolution. It was a much more involved process in the LN.

Either you read the Kindle version or an unofficial one.

Why would use the name Main, Myne is the obvious best choice on how it should be spelt.

I'll agree, but bruh.

There was no negotiation in the anime. The LN had a real negotiation that was more interesting.

I’ll have the third book soon. I’ll read it.

It’s been excellent so far

Agreed the anime skips a lot.

I can’t wait to read the details instead of watching the summary

I read the Manga version, and in it where more detailed. Not sure but I guess more like in the LN ( I didn't catch that part in the LN)

I let my sister borrow the first two LNs. She was interested after I told her about the story.

I just received volume 3 today, so I’m going to start reading it.

The side stories seem like they might be really interesting to read.
