The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash (Light Novel) Vol. 5

Man, I loved this volume. I'm not sure if it just hit me at the exact right time, or if it felt like a genuine improvement compared to other volumes, because they've never been quite five stars for me. But this story is just so stinkin cute and peaceful, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself this time.

**Series has gotten stale** The past 2 books have been slow paced with not really anything exciting happening. Yes, I understand that fundamentals of life should be added, but some excitement yo would be nice. I'm hoping book 6 that's due out mid-April 2024 will be better, but I am seriously tempted to just drop this series. It's a shame …

Winter has arrived unexpectedly early, forcing Ivy and Druid to press on to reach the next town over before it is too late. To make matters worse, they quickly learn the winter is unexpectedly severe, causing all kinds of issues to the villagers. Ivy's slimes do pose a potential solution, but the need to keep their presence (let alone their …

The snake was interesting, but as usual one plot point gets dragged over several volumes. The message that they should keep smiling through tough times to not make others uncomfortable wasn't a good one. Besides sometimes struggling with activities that clearly need two hands Druid seem to be doing more than fine, he's only missing one hand so I suppose …

3.5 stars Druid's getting surprised by how Ivy and the rest travel was way too funny. I liked seeing a more child-like side to Ivy... she went through a lot and having someone to lean on has greatly lowered her guard. Though this one was quite slow. Genre: adventure, magic, slice of life, cute monster companions. No romance (main lead …

It was such a cozy read that i regret not having a cup of hot chocolate to drink while reading. Druid and Baluka were really funny trying to make Ivy wear cute clothes. I feel that everyone identified Ivy as a girl too quickly. The author wrote about the changes in Ivy's appearance, but aside from the hair i don't …

Unlike the other books in this series this one just ended before any mini arc was completed. New friends made and still fun interactions but was expecting any 9f the following to be addresses/resolved: 1\. the leathal winter harming the town's residents. 2\. further discovered as to the cause of the guardian being summoned and trapped. This entire review has …

Okay, that took me longer to finish this than I expected. But I'm finally done reading this. Well, that was a harsh winter for our characters. And also, new characters that they interacted since they were in a different village this time. But seriously, Ivy sure was getting attracted to a lot of strange creatures, huh? This volume just really …

**Great** I really enjoy reading this story. Ivy and her slimes are too good and Ciel is too powerful. Too many new adventures and not enough time. I hope the mystery of the rain and the circle aren't connected.

That ending was amazing and I …

I'm using this as a placement book for the manga.

3.5 stars A fun next installment though sadly it fell a bit flat for me compared to the previous books.

3 Stars The story is getting boring. Also, Ivy's continues of not knowing what the adults are talking about is getting annoying.

Rating: Really Liked It Would I read more by this author? Yes, I am enjoying this whole series 🩷💚🩷

I love this series! Can’t wait to see what Ivy and Druid find next in their travels!

I feel that Ivy is actin more as a child in this one which makes me really happy. She needs to enojoy life a little more and now that she has a dad...I …

A bit too much repetitive detail about the food (preparation of "rize" dishes) and the plot really didn't advance much. The series has a very cozy vibe, but I think I'm done with it.
