So You Want to Live the Slow Life? A Guide to Life in the Beastly Wilds, Volume 4 - About 5% actual story and 95% preserves recipes. I like the first 5% well enough, but the ratio between stroy and recipes is just too lopsided.
My Quiet Blacksmith Life in Another World: Volume 9 - The entire volume there is the question of whether or not this volume's guest character is a spy. The usual comfiness never gets a chance to develop. I hope the next volumes will be back to form without having to second-guess every word.
