<Mercedes and the Waning Moon: The Dungeoneering Feats of a Discarded Vampire Aristocrat Volume 2> - Lots of political meneuvering in this one. The author also is rambling and repeating the same things again and again. I think they explained 3 times in this volume that in the vampire society night is like daytime for humans. We've got it the first time. The same goes for the personality of MC's father. Yes, we get it that he is ruthless and calculating. There is no reason to explain it to the reader for the 7th time. Both story and prose are in general very unstructured and random. I don't think the author has much of a plan laid out while writing this. I like MC though and the dungeon master aspect is interesting. I wish there was more of that and less of the random rambling.
<The Mythical Hero's Otherworld Chronicles: Volume 6> - I really dislike this type of writing style where the story is written from a dozen POVs instead of following a main character. I find myself skimming entire chapters here because I cannot find it in me to give a shit about most of the POV characters. And by the time the shocking cliffhanger at the end happens I didn't gave a shit about the supposedly main character either.

<Abducted Princess Running Rampant: Wielding Forbidden Magic in the Demon King’s Castle - Volume 01>
I enjoyed this volume, as others have pointed out it is similar to average abilities.
Crowell is the MVP, the story would be over without everyone’s favourite demon. She would be great in an office, following the orders to the letter, no extra work.
Now my dissertation on Mil is actually Miles 3rd life.
Mil
ehas been reincarnated for a 3rd time and is now living in another world (again)- There must be some memory deep down remembering her average abilities life.
She wondered... If she hadn’t been born into the royal family, if she hadn’t been a goddess’s priestess, if she’d been an ordinary girl in a town somewhere, would she have taken up adventuring too? Would there be tales told about her, like those the royal guard’s soldiers had whispered when the accomplished adventurer entered? Would she be overcome with nerves in the presence of a king, just like the newbie? Imagining these things made her smile.
- She still loves books
Mil found the musty smell of the books all around her relaxing somehow. It reminded her that she’d always been a bookworm.
- She still blooms late? (Has she even bloomed yet in average abilities?)
I guess I’m just a late bloomer.
- She still names everything. Maybe Lowbreath was reincarnated as Luludra?
“No! Luludra! Wait up!”
Having already decided on its name, Mil kept her eyes on the dragon in the sky as she ran after it.
- She is still obsessed with beast eared people
Mil could barely contain her excitement as she tried to imagine what sort of people beastkin were. She pictured animal ears and tails, and squishy pads on their hands and feet. I wanna touch them!
- She is still into small girls
She’s...so cute. Yulia was so much like a small animal that Mil just wanted to hug her tight. If I had a little sister, I’d want one just like her.
This time Reina has also been reincarnated as Mary
Mary might have put up a cold front, but she was kind in her own way. She was always thinking about others.
And Pauline has been reincarnated as Yulia
“Uh-oh.” Before she reached the priest, she tripped after her own feet.
Poor Mavis seems to be the only on not reincarnated into the group. Kuro doesn’t give off Mavis vibes. Or maybe Mavis is reincarnated as Crowell and her mission is to ensure they have fun?

What's so frustrating is that I cannot find any info on a second volume.

Just had a look and can’t see a second volume on Japanese Amazon or Japanese Kadokawa but the original was release 17th Feb 2023.
Bad omen or do they know something we don’t? Surely they can get our hopes up and leave us?
