vol 1 & and halfway through vol 2 - I found manga first but I had to read more. Isekai where MC gets to be a kindergartener of 300 natural disasters that can flatten the city. A bit on the nose with anti-racist, anti-facist messaging but author doesn't get why it's bad. The antagonists behaviour is irrational as he is supposed to the brilliant tactician.

::: spoiler spoiler vol 1
Instead of cutting of the food for the ostriches so that ostriches will destroy the enemy nation he delivers them more.

Still fun and hilarious adventure when we suspend our disbelief. 7/10

I couldn't find a series with the name "The Ostrich Beastman Wild and Unrivaled Rampage". Maybe you should write it and send a copy to my library. In fact, I think this is a great idea and you absolutely should do so. Right now. Chop chop.

<Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in Another World: I’ll Use My Modern Knowledge to Build My Own Kingdom> - Volume 1 by Cancellara - ★★★☆☆, 164 MynePages™ - Very simple story, but good enough for an evening. Characters take his unique powers a bit too nonchalantly. Would be nice if they even questioned his common-sense-breaking powers from time to time instead of just accepting them as is.

- Volume 4 by Yanagi - ★★★☆☆, 189 MynePages™ - Filler volume. It was okay, but I'll have forgotten it in 2 days.

<Al the Adventurer: That Magic Shouldn't Work!> - Volume 1 by Lemon - ★★★★☆, 224 MynePages™ - Good new series. While nothing special, it was very entertaining. One nitpick is that the reasoning the author comes up with to push the plot in certain directions is a bit flimsy at times. It also has a nice setup for the next volume, so I'm looking forward to that.

Hello Bookworm! I looked it up, and the Library in Alexandria — which just so happens to be the greatest in all of Yurgenschmidt, nay... even the entire world — has the following entries:
