Nanalie has finally achieved her childhood dream of becoming “A Receptionist at the Sorcerer’s Guild.” New on the job, she spends her days enjoying her life at Harré with her familiar Lala and her kind fellow receptionists. But somehow she finds herself still competing with her old rival from her school days, Rockmann. One day, Nanalie, two of her fellow receptionists, and the Order of Knights all head out together to investigate the place where a missing person was found—and one of the Knights is Rockmann!? And on top of that, he won’t stop bugging her about every little thing she does!
Here is the long-awaited second volume of this slice-of-life isekai fantasy series about one optimistic young woman!
Mako . (まこ .) list of works: 1. 2016 - 隅でいいです。構わないでくださいよ。 [Sumi de ii desu. Kamawanaide kudasai yo.] 2. 2018 - 魔法世界の受付嬢になりたいです [Mahou Sekai no Uketsukejou ni naritai desu]
Despite the fact that I basically inhaled these two books, I'm not sure why or if they're actually good. But I do know that if Nanalie and Alois don't end up together I'll be (in the words of Lady Catherine de Burgh) seriously displeased.
The first book is nice, this one is more or less the opposite. I have no clue what the author wanted, but I keep getting annoyed by the MC in this one. She's being used, things are done to her, and she just smiles and takes it. It would have been way more interesting if she'd get massively angry or something. Right now this series is quite boring to me. I'll try the next book, but if it's the same as this one it's the end for the series for me.
And while I get that one of the other characters is supposed to be annoying, he's taking it to another level by being an ass.
Should be more of a 3.5, I find all the story bits pertaining to the major storyline interesting, but the characters themselves are more or less one-dimensional. It's really entertaining to read, though.
A great continuation to the first book. Very well written and illustrated at times. Well worth the read. Very much looking forward to the next book in the series.
