Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki Novels End with 12th Volume
Yūki Yaku announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday that his Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki (Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun) light novel series will end in the 12th volume on October 16.
Yen Press is releasing the novel series in English, and describes the story:
Tomozaki is one of the best gamers in Japan, and in his opinion, the game of real life is one of the worst. No clear-cut rules for success, horribly balanced, and nothing makes sense. But then he meets a gamer who's just as good as him, and she offers to teach him a few exploits...

The company also released two short story compilation volumes as volumes 6.5 and 8.5
