| 4/1/25 | ![]() The Trials and Tribulations of My Next Life as a Noblewoman | Helen here folks, I know Kory normally starts off the episode notes with something sports related so uhhh…. I saw that the 2025 “City Connect” designs were unveiled recently, and the DC ones look pretty; I might need to buy one of the hats to add to my collection of “cherry blossom themed hats for DC sports teams” (especially since I lost my Caps hat in that vein last year, noooo). Now that that’s out of the way, no Kory or Apryll this time but I am joined by Justin (@kami_nomi) of The OASG, who is my cohost on the other podcast I, uh, cohost, “It’s Not My Fault The OASG Podcast Is Not Popular!” We’re talking about the J-Novel Club (Heart imprint) release of Trials and Tribulations of My Next Life as a Noblewoman, which is a big and plot heavy series so we have both a spoiler-free section and then a spoiler-filled section about why the nickname “josei Game of Thrones” is VERY accurate for this series!
