老後に備えて異世界で８万枚の金貨を貯めます (Light Novel) #1-2
Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement 1
Mitsuha is your average teenage orphan—until one day she falls off a cliff, and finds herself in another world strangely akin to medieval Europe! Beset by wolves, she discovers she has the ability to travel freely between the two worlds, and decides to make a life for herself in both. Now all she needs to do is save up 80,000 gold coins for a comfortable retirement... Piece of cake, right?!
No matter how out of control things get, Mitsuha keeps her cool, turning every hurdle into a business opportunity. From shopkeeper to war hero to viscountess, her meteoric rise seems unstoppable—but with each success comes new obligations and new costs. Does every step up just take her further from her goal??

The MC h is incredibly OP and it’s kind of…weird and slightly ick that she is 18, but everyone seems to think she is between 12 and 15, yet somehow people still listen to her and don’t question her funds? And how is she selling things in plastic in the other world??? HOW are more people not questioning her or are wary of her??? And the orcs, ogres and dragons just come out of NOwhere?!?
And at the very beginning, NO one saw the danger she was in of being pushed over the edge of the cliff and did anything about it?? And did she REALLY think that they wouldn’t push her if she fought them??
This isn’t bad, but there are WAY too many leaps of suspension of disbelief for me to take the story seriously. Yes yes, it’s fiction, but it even some of it is based in the real world with real people in both worlds, it has to have a good grounding in what real people would say and do.
Also, with her introducing all of that packaging that needs to be thrown away, isn’t she just creating an environmental hazard? Plastic especially is horrible for an ecosystem. That poor world is going to have a HUGE problem in a few decades, if not less.
3, not horrible but too many holes for me to want to read on, stars.

November 12, 2023Good story in a new edition
Not much to say about this. This was originally published by Sol Press in 2 volumes. This new edition by Kodansha contains both of those. I suddenly saw that there was a volume 3 for sale, and only then realized that these were different. Same story, broken into volumes differently. The older Sol Press editions are no longer for sale.
Anyway, fun books, you'll probably enjoy them.

Adorable
I saw the Anime and knew I had to read the novels. I was surprised to find that the Anime changed so much. I enjoyed it so much I finished it in 2 days.
