I love the attention to detail in the book regarding the day to day of their adventures. I went in expecting more pulp fantasy with a Mary Sue MC, but get excited Everytime Getalt says "I'm to old for this" after almost dying!

Comment on Which food delivery app, in your opinion, is the best? in ~food

One being the overwhelming amount of choices, and the fact that I personally feel I can always trust what the reviews or recommendations in the apps are telling me. I haven’t had many good experiences. Like others have commented, the food sits for a while and is always worse quality than what you intend to purchase. I think they are helpful to order food for pickup, but then why not just go directly through the restaurant. Our local pizza place delivery is always faster and cheaper when i call, as opposed to ordering through an app. I recognize everyone has different circumstances, but more recently than every I feel regret from using these services!

I am also reading One Piece, in a book club where we read an arc a month. Just finished the Arlong Park Arc! I also got caught up on Jujutsu Kaisen as well as Blue Period.
As always I still dislike Rental Girlfriend aka Kanojo, Okarishimasu. I love the art/character design done by the author, but holy shit it is such a drag now. I don't know why I keep forcing myself to read it.

I am excited to see it continuted, I really enjoyed how different it felt from modern fantasy and action movies, Willow didn't embody the power/ego trip that I feel happens in a lot of newer movies.
spoilers
Loved that Willow didn't need ultra power magic to win in the end and just used good ole slight of hand! -

I felt that some of the concepts in the series could trip up an author with weaker writing, but Yasuki Tanaka played it very well.
Also Reading two smaller time manga (maybe webcomics?) Koibito Ijou Yuujin Miman and The Guy She was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All which are both so fun and a breath of fresh air with all the isekai getting pumped out.

I also just caught up on reading Rent-A-Girlfriend after being out of the loop since September. I firmly think that the manga is bad now.
Spoilers Though I felt it was trending down since after the Movie arc. And its been unbearable to get through the hawaii vacation, only to then have a three-month time skip, wtf! -

The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson! Very interesting sci-fi series taking you from humans landing on Mars though the first years of settlement fully terra forming the planet. Highly recommend.
