@yon@sakurajima.moe We say "Self published", but that's not entirely accurate in this case. The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows started as a self-published work, and then was picked up by SB Creative, and it's that version that I read. So these companies are kinda doing the music industry thing: they've thrown away developing talents and works, and are just picking thunderdome winners from the self-published world. You'd expect them at this point to polish up the work but ... I suspect they really don't. That's just extra cost for what they treat as a commodity product.The saint one looks like it could be the better one, as long as it doesn’t derail. Time will tell.I think this is the more enjoyable work of the two. It's main problem is break-neck pacing and leaping from thing-to-thing without proper developing anything. An enterprising writer could have easily turned the first volume into 3, instead you get one really short anemic one. At least it's not too cringey. In other words, there's a lot of room for a script writer here to insert their own thing here and not miss out on too many of the LN's actual plot points.
