The Trials and Tribulations of My Next Life as a Noblewoman is hands down the best license this year, don't sleep on it! With a cover and title like that I certainly would have if the author of Bookworm hadn't recommended it, but once I actually tried it I got one of the best novels I've ever read. Extremely genre savvy, absolutely brutal when it wants to be, a slow burn that pays off harder than anything else around.

I was going to make a joke about how it's no choice between marrying the dashing soldier and the elderly margrave, but this makes me even more interested in it.

Yeah, obviously she picks the margrave, on the grounds that he's gonna die first and she'll be free to live life on her own terms.

I gave them all a read/view. Trials and Tribulations was the best of the bunch with excellent technical merits and interesting characters. The Dorky NPC Mercenary is fun humor in space, but I wonder if it has more than three or four volumes in it. I don't mind shorts if they're high-quality, so I'll keep it on my reading list to see if it pans out.
From Villainess to Healer had nice art, but there isn't enough material yet to know if it will rise above its humdrum otome backstory. The pacing seems too fast for the segment already released. Dimension Wave is probably the weakest of the set at the start - something only a fishing/grinding otaku would appreciate.
