The Ostrich Beastman’s Wild and Unrivaled Rampage: I Became the Leader of the Stupidly Cute Strongest Race - Hilarious isekai about tribe of ostriches that became sentient and behave like a locusts. Everyone wants to avoid the next Great Emu War.
Other than weekly discussion, and episode releases there are couple type of post that you could make.
Usually if it’s not exceptionally good, I just drop the series. I have currently 15 series marked as “reading”. If I really can’t wait, I check if there is !lightnovels@ani.social version.

Hmm… “Particle Accelerator the anime” looks interesting
This first chapter feels sincere in the emotion of escapism and grief of loved ones.
I will look forward to future chapters.
Last week I had exams so instead of studying I procrastinated and read web novel Am I inside a Rom-Com? - The foreground plot is about a isekai-regression writer MC who gets roped into making a film with teenagers. The main plot is about how he struggles with burn-out, creativity and pleasing the readers or creating for yourself. The juicy sub-plot is about how real life author banters with the reader about meta-aspects of the work. For example author makes a question in the title, and the one who answers isn’t the main character but the reader. (There is other meta-stuff but that would be a spoiler IMO) 9/10
Great art with good plot hook. I will keep an eye on this one.
Nice! Your art got better and more consistent. one nit-pick would be that on bottom panel of page 12 I would put some background. a tent or some mountains would fill up the blank space and better place the characters in the camp.
Kneecap scene has induced in me various emotions. So good job doing that.
I don’t know why I had hard time keeping up with the story. Maybe I was reading right to left, maybe there was too many characters or just my attention span was too short. Probably just a skill issue on my part.
<Goodbye, Horrible Fiancé, Hello, Fun Magic School Life!> vol 1 - The Protagonist has so much plot armor that plot gave up and stopped trying to throw a spanner in the works. The are no stakes here. Even slice of life has more inconsequential stakes than this novel. I don’t recommend it.
On th other hand <Altina the Sword Princess> vol1 is great. Protagonist is a bottom rung officer that is sent to remote fortress to work there, where he meets Titular Princess. The only bit of magic is how she can wield comically large sword. In the oversaturation of isekai it’s quite refreshing read. The romantic duo isn’t anything new but they are written well enough. I would label this as adventure - romcom and as I like all adventures I like this.
Slippery Okuta-san fun slice of life about squid octopus girl
As I remember, the science of the 7 day lifecycle is handwaved, but the cause of cycle is plot relevant.
Only 5 chapter’s so far but it has already some great moments: Days Off In The Dragon’s Stomach
Taskmaster type challenge
Got that nausicaa or sabicui bisco vibe
I can recommend Ascendance of a Bookworm by Miya Kazuki
Is lemmurs the right word?
Would be cool if you added link to your comic to the post next time.
The quality is swinging widely. Some panels are amazing, and some are just quick sketches. It could work as storytelling device, but I don’t have a feeling of purpose in those swings.
This one is great!
<The Ostrich Beastman Wild and Unrivaled Rampage> vol 1 & and halfway through vol 2 - I found manga first but I had to read more. Isekai where MC gets to be a kindergartener of 300 natural disasters that can flatten the city. A bit on the nose with anti-racist, anti-facist messaging but author doesn’t get why it’s bad. The antagonists behaviour is irrational as he is supposed to the brilliant tactician.
spoiler vol 1
Instead of cutting of the food for the ostriches so that ostriches will destroy the enemy nation he delivers them more.
Still fun and hilarious adventure when we suspend our disbelief. 7/10
