Vol 4 and now it gets now extremely weird and even more lewd. In this volume we are introduced to a new character, Kaiko Mikuniyama, a manga artist contributing towards drawing the manga version of Itsuki Hashima's little sister light novel series. At one sight she appears to be a normal sweet girl, who shares a similar, not too extreme, enthusiasm that with Itsuki's little sister obsession, but she has a huge underwear fetish that leads to an argument with Itsuki about hardly any nudity in the manga draft!

There’s also includes a bonus chapter at the end of the volume, which is a rewriting of a drama CD that was included in the deluxe edition in the Japanese version, where Itsuki and his friends play a board game called The Life of a Light Novelist, no joke, and they soon realised how tough a light novelist's career is, in game that is.

Finally, like to point out you will obviously get a lot of references from other light novel series, especially Oreimo and Eromanga Sensei consider Itsuki's a “little-sister-obsessed f**k”, and as well as board games and... beer? By the way, some of the illustrations in this volume get super lewd so best not read this while on a public train okay.

I like this series so far, but I'm not a big fan of the tabletop RPG scenes. Too repetitive for my liking and they drag on and on. I find myself barely paying attention whenever those scenes pop up because I'm just not that interested.

Another silly fun slice of life volume. This one even teaches you how to make a hair ribbon.

Just a very chill read. I mean, it's ridiculous and perverted but in the way that real friends hanging out tend to be in my opinion? I continue to like it. I also like Kaiko. She's good.

After reading four volumes of this series I can conclude that they all follow roughly the same format. Maybe 70% of the books are devoted to light-hearted slice of life hijinks, those are the parts I love. Then you have 10-20% taken up by the main characters playing a roleplaying game, those parts drag a but. Then finally you have a segment where the main characters play tabletop games, and those can be downright boring. If the whole novel was just slice of life stuff, this would probably be my favorite light novel series.
