    <Goodbye, Horrible Fiancé, Hello, Fun Magic School Life!> vol 1 - The Protagonist has so much plot armor that plot gave up and stopped trying to throw a spanner in the works. The are no stakes here. Even slice of life has more inconsequential stakes than this novel. I don’t recommend it.

    On th other hand <Altina the Sword Princess> vol1 is great. Protagonist is a bottom rung officer that is sent to remote fortress to work there, where he meets Titular Princess. The only bit of magic is how she can wield comically large sword. In the oversaturation of isekai it’s quite refreshing read. The romantic duo isn’t anything new but they are written well enough. I would label this as adventure - romcom and as I like all adventures I like this.
