I’m starting ゲームの世界に転生した俺が○○になるまで 1 by 藤原チワ子. Thanks @navi for the recommendation! (and giving me the title in Japanese, it definitely spared me some time while looking for it!)
I’m trying to remember if I ever read an isekai in Japanese before, and nothing comes to mind, so I guess it’s a first? I haven’t been impressed by the Jp crime novels I’ve read so far this year, so maybe it’s time for a change of genre

#ReadingUpdate I finished 역제안 by 정재환, and I liked every single short story in it!
The ones I loved the most were one about a soldier spying on phone conversations while working in the communication service in the military, and one about a performer hired to play the role of the father in a formal first meeting between two families (in preparation for marriage).
(Btw, is there an English word for 상견례… 
)
Anyway, it was a really nice read, the 7 short stories were very diverse in topics (there’s even a story about a zombie outbreak) and have an intriguing and engaging plot. It was also not too difficult to read in Korean (though also not the easiest book I read this year).

The Japanese book I’m going to read next is 真夜中法律事務所 by 五十嵐律人 (Igarashi Ritsuto), a “ghost legal mystery” as advertised on the cover.
I never read this author before, I saw this book in Kyobo bookstore and found it appealing.

My current Korean read is a collection of short stories, 역제안 by 정재환.
I read and enjoyed the first two stories. The second one has a cool title: 2상한 2야기 (the protagonist sees a lot of things double in the story).
And Korean book means filling my Korean food journal. The first two stories of this collection gave me bulgogi, kimbap, bread and milk and a bottle of soju.
So far, coffee is the winner with 5 entries (counting the number of novels/short stories in which a character drinks coffee, not the number of occurrences in a same story), followed by kimchi (4) and bread (as a generic term to anything you could buy in, say, Paris Baguette) (also 4).

My next book in Chinese is going to be FIX2 by Taiwanese author Wolf Hsu （臥斧）. I loved the first one, FIX, about authors of crime fiction who didn’t get their own plot right and would even falsely accuse one of their characters to be the culprit.
I hope the second volume will be as good as the first one!

#ReadingUpdate 流星·蝴蝶·剑 by Gu Long (古龙).
I finished the first volume, so I’m about halfway through I think.
One good thing about reading on 微信读书 is that you get access to other people’s comments, and I’m very grateful for this person who added definitions for a lot of words and expressions 
#ReadingUpdate 流星·蝴蝶·剑 by Gu Long (古龙).
I’m 60% into the first volume already, I don’t know how I read it this fast, but it’s so so good!! 
At some point the book just becomes impossible to put down, the pace is very fast and the story so exciting! The characters are all so cool too 
Even though I’m tempted to just continue the list of books for the Readmoo challenge, I decided to take a break, and read something else.
I’m starting 流星·蝴蝶·剑 by Gu Long (古龙). My first wuxia novel!! 
(Thanks again @jiewawa for the recommendation!)
Gu Long is a Taiwanese author, but strangely none of his books are available on Readmoo? It was on 微信读书, so I’m reading it in Simplified Chinese.
I’m starting 十戒 by 夕木春央 (Yūki Haruo), I loved the author’s other novel 方舟, so I decided to give this one a try.
I have a prompt for stories that take place on islands, because it’s the perfect setting for closed circle mysteries, but I hadn’t found any island setting yet. It turns out that “island” is the very first word of 十戒, so I have my first entry for this prompt! 
I forgot to update it here, but the Taiwanese novel I’m reading at the moment is 殺人是件嚴肅的事 by 馬卡. I read a collection of short stories by this author last year, and I really loved it, so I did not hesitate to buy this novel when I saw that it was included in the Readmoo challenge.
I love this one too, but the topics are very dark and the story is a bit depressing. Not really what I was looking for, but it’s a good police procedural.
I’m hoping to finish it this week!
