    Didn’t I Say to make my Abilities Average - Volume 9 to 11

    Over the last month I have slowly continued my reread of Average Abilities.

    Other

    Since the boss NineSwords has broken the rules about non Light Novels topics I will do the same and mention I have been reading some manga as well so haven’t read as many LNs. I still haven’t got the hang of reading them, reading the panels in the wrong order or treating it like a novel and ignoring the drawings.

        Sometimes I just want to know what happens next or if I’m in a hurry I end up just reading the text. I notice the pictures but they don’t register properly so I have to go back and look at them again.

          I see, like just looking at the broad strokes but not looking at the details. I.e. “MC sitting in room saying something” instead of “MC saying something while sitting at her desk with anxious body language and fiddling with a pen while the bin and floor are littered with crumpled sheets of paper”. I do that as well whenever I read a manga, but in Witch Hat Atelier I seem to linger on the details and zoom in from time to time to drink it all in.

          And to be fair I often do the same with light novels where MC’s inner monologue is mostly rambling. I scan the pages for quotation marks and just read those when it seems like MC is going on an especially bad tangent.
