She spends the whole book making unadventurous rice dishes. And talking about them.

[Tyler & Tylar · Rating 1 out of 5]

Noticing this books series is just on a downward spiral with how boring it is. Like I don't mind leisurely adventure books, but this author has a way of talking about every single insignificant thing! LIKE I DONT CARE!!!!! and the main characters actions are so inconsistent! We're in a hurry to get to the next town except we're not? Weren't we in a hurry cause something is wrong with Sora? Except maybe there isn't anything wrong cause we keep bringing it up then acting like it's nothing later is he ok or not??? I don't need to know what's being cooked or it described in detail about this childs bathing habits. 🙄 I'm only 12% into this book and I'm seriously about to drop it cause I should not be struggling to read this...

Slower paced

This was a much more relaxed paced book the the past 2. I also found that nothing much happened but was funnier then the others so far I think it was shorter aswell

A fun addition to the series with Ivy slowly growing into a more confident less scared kid, although still as overly polite and confused due to her past life memories coming up at unexpected ways. The world remains a bit odd, even more so now that we learn that crafting and recycling is all based on the starred skills and the real items monsters apparently drop. It creates a bit of a potentially odd economy, not overly important to the story, and since the author themselves draw our attention to it, I hope we get some decent answers in future volumes. I am also happy the author stepped away from the slave-as-a-companion trope, now lets hope it also avoid the other common trope all too often associated with these kind of stories and situations. So all in all, an endearing and at times cute story about an abandoned child finding her purpose in life while picking up trash along the way.

4.5 stars!

In this next installment, we meet a bunch of new characters, including a one-handed adventurer named Druid and a red slime who may or may not be Sora's offspring. Druid is very much a main character in this story. I kind of expected a certain part of the plot to go one way but was surprised when it didn't take that route, though maybe it's a bit early to tell still. This did feel very much like more of a filler part of the story, like it's setting up the next part of Ivy's travel plot. As slow as it felt at times, I did appreciate it - especially when I get to see Ivy's sarcastic snark come out to play more often!

This book just sort of ended

I was quite surprised at how this book just ended. Nothing was resolved at all. In fact, most of the book was actually quite slow and boring.

The cooking part was interesting.

I don't understand why the author didn't resolve the monster dilemma or the blessed problem. In fact the author didn't even solve the cooking trials... It just ended.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it more than I did.

Have Fun!!

nice and cute

Another quick cute read. I like her interactions with people and the sincerity of it feels really sweet to me. If you are looking for some hardcore suspense, mind engaging reads this is not the series. But if you are just wanting to read something cute to pass the time, this is great.

The new red slime, Ivy calls her Flame! Ivy also becomes friends with the man, Druid, that Sora saved! Will he become Ivy's new travel companion?

Wonderfully Slow-paced

This volume really was slice of life in another world. Nothing too exciting happened but still an enjoyable laid back chapter in Ivy's journey to the capital with just a few happy surprises.

[Myra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Still pretty cute

It’s still cute but, honestly, this volume feels like filler between story arcs. Also, found a few spelling or grammatical errors. I have some other petty complaints but nothing major. Still lots of fun. Can’t wait for number 4.

Secretly OP

Ivy is secretly an OP character with her taming skills. One question did come to me is how did people tame monsters before stars. Ivy most likely is taming monsters before stars were a thing and doesn’t know it yet.

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

The next story arc is interesting. I look forward to see how this develops. Her travel party is growing and expanding. Found family really is a big thing. A part of me is actually a bit curious what has happened with her original family and the village. Only a few vague mentions after volume 1.

[Camy · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s still fun, but some of the emotional stuff is a bit cheesy. It’s nice seeing the changes in her life, though. She seems to have trusted Druid a bit fast, but he’s a really nice guy and has an interesting skill.

New Friends

Trust is earned for Ivy and I love that. How effortlessly they know to trust others and how effortlessly they get along. I cannot wait to see their adventures moving forward.

Awe I love this series and I cannot wait to see what happens next!! Ivy, sora, ciel, flame, and druid. The family keeps growing and more adventures are coming.

[Yudi Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still a great read, cozy journey but somehow relationship between MC and some character is ambiguous and not really interesting

[ReadToBreathe · Rating 4 out of 5]

I guess food is a part of most Japanese light novels no matter the subject. There was a lot of chapters about food which I didn't really mind.

[My · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love me a good slice-of-life, but while it's cute, this one is a tad bit uneventful than usual.

[Hex · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very boring, nothing happens.

Many of the reactions of various characters are just weird and wrong.

[Ayanami Faerudo · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm using this as a placement book for the manga.

Really light

Spice: N/A
Would I read more by this author? Yes

[R.B. · Rating 1 out of 5]

Most of the book was just her journey to the next town, hunting trips and cooking. It was pretty clear from the start that Druid was going to join her, but it drags on without a clear answer.

[Nanalie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Compared to the first two volumes, this light novel was a bit more slow paced. There isn’t that much action in the story. However, we do get more characters for Ivy’s party with the addition of Flame the slime and Druid. The addition to Ivy’s group is a nice touch. It’s nice to see Ivy having more conversations with someone compared to her having a kind of one sided conversations (she guesses what her tame monsters say). I also love Ivy’s interactions with Druid. They’re both funny together. I also love how Ivy and Druid have had an effect on each other with both of them being able to confide in the other. The bonus chapter too makes it seem like Druid will take up on the role of her father which is nice to see with how much burden and trauma Ivy has had to deal with so far. It’s nice to see someone close to Ivy that she can lean on to depend on and remind her to take it easy cause she’s only a kid. Overall, I do like the introduction of Druid’s character. Flame on the other hand, we haven’t that much on the slime character as it’s really laid back compared to Sora.
