Sexiled returns with its second installment of blatant but biting commentary of the sexism of both its world and ours. There's not much that I can add from what I said previously about volume 1. Its strong points are as good as ever, and Kaeruda knows how to stick to them.
Something I must say about Kaeruda, is that she writes these moments of blatant sexism in such a way that you can laugh at them. She doesn't downplay its seriousness but merely gives the reader a chance to laugh at the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of it all. Kaeruda creates a healthy escapist fantasy with her story. A story where women can shout back against the unjust sexism to which they are subjected to. Our MC carries this philosophy, as she is always first to speak up at any unfairness and at the same time, inspire that same courage in the other women she encounters.
One thing that I will say, and its the reason I scored this lower than the first volume, is that I really want to see the story progress outside the capital city. I really want to see our characters react to different and new scenarios. This was one thing that made the reading experience, not as fun as volume 1; I wanted to see newer locations. I really want to see some worldbuilding and not feel like the country of Pajan is the only one. My only hope is that in future volumes our characters get to explore new environments whether within their country or foreign lands.

Naturally, once I finished the first volume, I knew I simply had to read the second! This is probably the fastest I’ve ever read a sequel thus far. But I can see how other readers could be disappointed in this installment.
I do like the more serious tone and you could tell that the author has also matured as well. But considering the themes this book wanted to explore, I honestly think it’s fair. More than anything, I actually appreciated it because I wanted to learn more about Laplace and why she was sealed in the first place (and how did Maxwell survive as long as he did).
For as serious as it was, though, it still had plenty of moments that I laughed at (including one of my favorite memes) especially because I wasn’t expecting it. It’s not darkly serious, but there’s a noticeable shift in tone when certain things happen within the plot.
Still, I can understand how many people see that as a low point, especially since both Nadine and Katherine were shoved aside for the sake of Laplace’s story. It’s disappointing, true, but I honestly feel like this book was more about Laplace and Tanya becoming more than just audience proxies so I didn’t mind as much. If there was a third volume, I would love to see the above explored. For what we got I think it does shine on its own. I must have come across as a bit more critical of the book but I honestly do love it a lot where I can’t love it less because of the flaws it has.
As much as I wanted the above explored in this book, I did enjoy it a lot. It’s appreciated that this is still a light novel (emphasis on light) but if the above wouldn’t deter you, then you’ll be like me and enjoy it for what it is.

pretty similar to the first volume in that the villain is patriarchy and kaeruda has no interest in being subtle about it! i think katherine and nadine's relationship is cute and i support it regardless if whether it heads down the friendship or romance route. a few points lost for

A casually written light novel about fighting sexism in an rpg-type fantasy world, this series is entertaining for an evening if you're not too picky. The writing isn't great but the story is fun and I enjoyed it.

Hands down one of my favorite series of 2020.

I only just learned that this was called sexiled after finishing the entire manga that's so funny

Much like volume 1, an entertaining funny read which is not too subtle about its commentary on in story and real life sexism. World building is limited, the challenges are easily overcome and it is a bit short, but that was expected based on v1. All in all, a great short read.

Second verse, same as the first! If you want lesbian adventurers to smash more patriarchy, your ship has come in!
It’s fine, good even. The first volume ranked higher with me because it was more novel (pardon the expression) and I did find the writing a bit more twee this time around (or it finally bothered me and was twee the whole time). You’re not getting any plot twists so don’t look for ‘em.
There’s also no sense of danger here at any point. It’s straight up overpowered women throwing down against men. Not that that’s a negative, the men in this series suck, but know what you’re getting into.
Still, the developing relationship between Tanya and Laplace is sweet and the characters are fun and have fun together. I just think the author needs to make it more interesting if they want to keep going with it.

This is the final volume for Sexiled, which left me feeling a little disappointed, since I felt the author has ample room to continue. Although I suppose that it would have to be under a different title, since the Tanya being kicked out of her former party because she is a woman was pretty central to the plot. In this volume we finally learn about Laplace, as well as see Laplace get her own revenge. The relationship issues I had with the couple in the first book are still there. There were some occasional, romantic moments, but not many. Both volumes are quite short, so I feel like that is more an issue of plot size and not the authors own ability. I would love to see the author revisit this Tanya and Laplace later, and perhaps flesh out the relationship between the two, to really give it a romantic feel.
I think hands down my favorite moment came in the last two pages or so. Tanya has been fighting sexism for so long that she just assumes any man who wants to have a conversation with her is going to spill sexist drivel. She is surprised when one of the male guards in the castle reveals that Tanya inspired him to try and achieve his dream of becoming a castle guard, despite coming from an impoverished background. I think this moment, although unfortunately coming at the end, show's Tanya realizing intersectionality when it comes to discrimination, and there are a lot more social dichotomies than just male and female. Again, I would love to see the author revisit these characters and world in a new series. There is so much that can be expanded upon and examined, there is a lot of wonderful potential here.

This is going to be one of those boring sequel reviews that boils down to, "If you liked the first one, you'll like this one, and if you hated the first one, this won't change your mind." Did you find the feminist message of the first annoyingly heavy-handed and on the nose? Book 2 is more of the same. (The first third is a massive takedown of sexual assault victim-blaming.) Did you like the characters in the first one? They're back, with the focus this time being on Laplace, as well as two of the first book's bit characters. There's even the same translation voice, where the turns of phrase work, but you get the sneaking suspicion the original Japanese was different.
I will say that if the first book's major flaw was portraying all men as chauvinists, this one's is somewhat more problematic: Props for the bit at the end acknowledging that men can be inspired by feminist messaging just as much as women, though!

This is definitely the book otaku will hate as Laplace gets her revenge. None of this redemption arc garbage that they'd call for. Of course I've seen them also say that Laplace and crew are WORSE than the misogynistic men that, in this book, tortured, murdered, used abused and threw away women in this book. And who also was responsible to turn them into sex objects.
This book also tackles a lot of subject that are glossed or or ignored or dismissed in regular fantasy novels. So while there's a story of revenge and saving it's also a good take on various situations women are forced into.
I still say this series is a "must read", but of course people are going to say some crappy porn light novel by some dude that has it out against women is better. Do yourself a favor and read this one instead.

Sexiled: My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out, So I Teamed Up With a Mythical Sorceress Vol 1+2 by Ameko Kaeruda & Illustrated by Kazutomo Miya
Okay so clearly, this is not my normal genre LOL. My cute lil friends Thais and Johan have been on me about trying out a manga, and then we found this. This is a lite novel - so not true manga (I really can’t do the whole reading backwards thing) but boy oh boy was this a ride.
Because I don’t read this genre, I didn’t really deeply understand the themes in this, but I got the political and feminist overtones and that was great. In the second volume, there’s a like ‘WOAH’ plot turn which was a nice surprise. They were also GAYYYYYYYY so like, right up my alley.
Overall, they were very fun to read and a great deviation from my norm. While I don’t think I’ll be adding a lot more manga to my TBR, if there’s another one like this, maybe!
3/5

If possible, I would probably have given this 2½ stars.. it is fine, it is not as good as the first volume. I would definitely not recommend anyone read it without having already read the first one. It continues the story and gives one 'more', as well as explaining a bit more and resolving a few questions from the first novel (such as how exactly did the world become much more sexist/misogynist over the few hundred years the sorceress was locked away).
There is -NO- reason to read this one if you did not already read and like the first volume. If you finished the first volume and wanted more, this volume gives it to you.
I am still glad that I read it tho.

Sexiled's second volume continues in much the same way the first did. Unfortunately, given the rather transparent allegories of the first volume, this leaves the sequel feeling rather rote and repetitive. Character development is bare and the budding relationships don't quite tug at the heartstrings. If you liked the first volume, you'll likely find this one just about passable, though perhaps barely so.

This series is my go to for a fun lady power fantasy. I don't go into light novels expecting high caliber writing, but I do go in expecting a good time. And when your story involves magical gay women defeating the system that keeps them down, you're bound to have a great time! I suspect this is the final volume, and if that's the case, it was a worthy send off to some badass ladies. This is well worth the investment of time and money.

Another battle for equality and revenge. The bad guy really has it coming, so when it comes (the bad guy loses isn't a spoiler, right?), one greets it with satisfaction.
And, honestly, that's about all I can say about this one. It was a fun read. The humour was humorous. The action was action packed. Generally worth the read.

Ameko Kaeruda continues to be an auto-buy author for me as she continues to pump out campy, fun, and feminist GL novels. In the conclusion of Sexiled, we watch our heroines smash the patriarchy with their love in a good old revenge plot.

Just as good as the first! The shift of focus and the fleshing out of characters was incredibly well done! It seemed the characters were a bit more contained this time around, but all their quirks were still ever present. The theme and message were great, and i hope to see a 3rd volume in the future.

This tale is not just good but awesome. I am looking forward to more takes of Laplace. This is what a good story dose , ahead light on a problem and strives to change the problem to an asset.

It's not subtle at all with its themes, and it's written in the kind of over the top way that makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time. It's a fun romp of four women battling the patriarchal injustice and while I can see it could be a bit too much for some, I enjoyed it.

Pretty much same plus and minus as Sexiled 1. Seems to be the ending (?) and it concludes the series pretty well.
However, sexual violence and domestic abuse are discussed in this one, so keep this in mind when reading.

I didn't really like this much, which is sad because I liked part 1.
It's full of filler, there's too little plot, it's a bit too repetitive and 'sad backstory' doesn't really do enough for me here.
I liked the newbie adventurer who was trying to intimidate a goblin with his lineage though pfft.

"Thank you, Laplace.
I love you."
amazing reading. i hope we'll be able to see more of tanya's adventures in the future – as well as an anime adaptation.

Awesome female power fantasy.
Fun to read. Characters that make you love them and make you want for them to succeed. It's all around a good time.

Laplace must be protected! I cried with this one, really enjoyed certain scenes! No spoilers, don't worry! I'll miss Laplace and the girls! Hope there'll be more !

Maybe I overrated the first volume of this series, because this one is quite bad. The first half amounts to a scattering of events before we get into Laplace’s origin and revenge story. And, in that origin, we still get no indication as to why Laplace has her goofy affectation for using a smattering of French in her speech. In general, the girl power platitudes come off rather shallow. Characters remain flat with Tanya’s predictable FU response at every turn. Action and events are undeveloped, and world building is nonexistent. Pretty boring.
