Vacation and BG3 happened so I read very little again those last 3 weeks but I got a little bit of reading time in anyway (usually I take some notes after finishing a book and give it a rating but I didn't this time so I'll just write what I remember):
A Cave King’s Road to Paradise: Climbing to the Top with My Almighty Mining Skills! Volume 2: It's mindless but entertaining. I dislike that whenever there is a problem, the solution to it just so happens to pop up 2 paragraphs later. Every. Single. Time.
Taking My Reincarnation One Step at a Time: No One Told Me There Would Be Monsters! Volume 1: New series. I really liked the first volume and I'm definitely looking forward to the next one. Very promising.
Peddler in Another World: I Can Go Back to My World Whenever I Want! Volume 4: Still an entertaining series. The addition of the two new cast members gives the story a nice new chemistry.
Hell Mode volumes 1-3
Protagonist is obsessed with difficult video games. He's reincarnated into another world where he is the only person in "Hell Mode", whereby it becomes 100x more difficult for him to level up - but in exchange there's no limit to his growth, and he's granted the unique class of Summoner.
I put off this series for a while because I figured the protagonist would annoy me. And he does, especially in volume 1 where he keeps poking fun at LN tropes or explaining how his pro gamer skills mean he's perfectly equipped for a given situation. (And for many other reasons in later volumes)
Still, protagonist aside I am enjoying the series overall. It's your usual fantasy world of monsters and magic, guilds and classes, a demon lord to defeat, etc. Nothing particularly stand-out, but an enjoyable read nonetheless.
So, I hope that WNs are also appropriate to be included here as I tend to read WNs more than LNs, but here are a couple I have been catching up on recently in no particular order.

All good, friend.
Torture Princess vol. 3
Spider vol. 16
I still love this series, it got me into Light novels. The concept of the ending was good, which for me is better than the concept being bad with a decent/good execution.
I want to see spidergirl become a very strong God
I wanna see her suffering under the training of D.
I want to read more of her stupid and awkward monologues.
I'd love to see her struggling again, like at the start of the serie in the labyrinth. Just on a different scale now, with her being a weak god and the others preying on her.
I want more kumoko
