So I've been reading this novel called Shinigami wo Tabeta Shoujo. 6 chapters into the first volume so far, and I'd say it's a relatively simple fantasy-action novel. One-man army protagonist, classic incompetent army higher-ups, comical cannon fodder, etc.

It's got some quirks in its storytelling though. Like, I'm pretty sure they outright told the outcome of the war and how a characters end up afterwards before actually getting into it in the story itself. That and the protagonist is a soldier girl with an insatiable appetite, and each chapter's title is a rating of how delicious the food she will eat in that chapter is (like "Bread is Delicious" and "Cheese is Also Delicious"). There's also a nice contrast in the writing between how horrifying the protagonist is and how she tends to mess around with people in good fun.

Been a while since I've read this kind of "simple" fantasy story, so I guess it's a nice change of pace.
