In a land of swords and sorcery, a ritual is conducted to summon forth the “sorcerer king†who will bring about ruin–but succeeds only in summoning an ordinary human boy from Earth. Stripped of his name and memories but endowed with sudden, enormous magic power, our protagonist has no intention of destroying the world. Fortunately for him, tinkering with his newfound magic results in the creation of a powerful (and beautiful) new partner…and she can keep him safe!

HELLO, I AM A WITCH AND MY CRUSH WANTS ME TO MAKE A LOVE POTION!
by Eiko Mutsuhana and vient
“I want you to make a love potion.â€
The Good Witch of the Lake's four-year crush ended in heartbreak with a single request from the object of her affections! Wanting to increase what little time she has with Royal Knight Harij, Rose sends him on a wild-goose chase for the ingredients but gets more than she bargained for when the grumbling knight starts visiting her every day…to feed her?

In addition to his love of Japanese light novels, he is also the author of his own light novel-inspired series, The Bleeding Worlds.
Third novel sounds hella cute!
And is it just me, or are we getting a lot of otome game isekai fiction these days? Is it the newest isekai trend, after over-/under-powered isekai protagonists?
Not just you, we are definitely seeing more otome isekai-type light novels. I think it’s the companies trying to broaden the appeal of light novels to more female readers. Which is totally cool, because I’ve enjoyed the more female-centric light novels I’ve read.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you. https://accounts.binance.com/id/register-person?ref=OMM3XK51
