Lady Savage Fang – History’s Greatest Mercenary Reincarnates as the World’s Cruelest Lady and Becomes Peerless in this Second Life Chapter v2 start Discussion

This is relatively weak work. It's inoffensive and easy to get through, and that's where it ends. I'm just going to do my usual bullet point analysis, this time not particularly broken out into any standardized format:

• The gender bender tag is meaningless. He has literally zero episodes of actually really adjusting to his female body. All he really mentions is "gee I guess I need to build my muscle strength again" and "dang dude my magic is insane now holy crap"... and yet you look at these cover images and illustrations and see him wearing these incredibly frilly and sometimes exposing dresses... with makeup and nail polish, no less, and just... not making any note of it. I'm sure that his servants put in all of the work, but even then he's this supposedly badass no-nonsense mercenary that's a genius fighter, yet doesn't find his new combat-impractical clothing to be in any way restrictive...?
• Speaking of no-nonsense mercenary, for being one he sure does meaninglessly long and sometimes meandering monologues a lot. And does a lot of s*upid things despite having been portrayed as kind of having high IQ in other similar situations.
• That's not where the idiocy ends, honestly the s*upidity fully breaks out into its own by the second half of the first novel, where we see Colette
  Spoiler

  do something incredibly s*upid and get kidnapped. So uh. We have this girl who's literally pretty much a military genius. Actually just a genius all around. She decides to go full idiot and charge into a base with unknown strength and numbers, of an enemy that she basically had little to no actual intelligence on.

  I'm sorry. What? You're going to do this just to give the main character a damsel?

Uh... yeah. I kind of expected to have more bullet points, but beyond all the filler text, this thing was so vapid that I'm not sure if I can pull out much else to even discuss. It's like a cake where you shove your fork in and find out that somehow they just made the frosting stay still in the shape of the cake, and there's no filling. Well in other words, a pretty standard light novel, to be honest. So, 3/5. Nothing cringe, nothing much there to begin with.
