Above him stretched an endless crimson dome, while millions of others like him floated all around. Their faces wore crazed smiles as, inside their false dreams, an evil god called the Black Mountain Lady drained their souls, one mouthful at a time 4Reads—Score—14d adds

    I read this lighthearted martial arts novel before bed, no brainpower required. The protagonist starts as an F-rank summoner, everyone assumes he's only good for support roles, but little does he know he secretly unlocks a melee combat template, increasing his power through training and sunbathing. The scene where he tames the wolf king is hilarious, the beasts are forced to perform their duties throughout, his childhood sweetheart is gentle and protective, and there are no exaggerated plots involving world destruction. The pacing of everyday school life and dungeon adventures is just right.
