Books like Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! Vol. 2

If you read the first volume of this series, you may be expecting the second book to be largely similar - with Mile bouncing around from thing to thing trying to show just how "average" she is all the while having fun / fluffy interactions with a lot of people. However, that's not really the case here. Rather, the book takes a slightly more dark tone and throws the Crimson Vow party into a variety of quests (which would be way too difficult if not for Mile). There's some minor character development but overall it's mainly just Mile being Mile against a variety of different enemies.I enjoyed how overpowered and ridiculous Mile was in the first book - but I felt like this book went a bit too far. There were quite a few fights where Mile did things that she shouldn't have done and it just sort of got brushed off by everyone. The author seems to cop out of ever writing the conversation around this in favor of being like, "family secret" and then "Mile made up something that everyone believed and the conversation was dropped." I'd just prefer if Mile genuinely tried to be more secretive rather than constantly spoiling how op she is as it makes those moments where she does something really cool feel less exciting. Furthermore, I wish that this book had more of a "plot" rather than _just_ like slice of life adventure type things. Like the first book felt like so much more happened and that there was significant progress in the world. When Mile made up that she was a goddess I was really pleased and was hoping to see more of that but, alas, no such luck. All we really get in this book is just the party beating up bad guys.With all that being said, I did still really enjoy this book. I like that there are strong female characters and that there's nothing super tragic that ever happens. I love the little quirks that each of the characters have. Basically it's a feel-good book with a bit of fluff and no real plot. If you enjoyed the previous book, you'll prolly enjoy this one, too :)
