With the new anime seasons starting soon, which LN adaptation are you loking for the most?

Summer 2025 shows with a light novel source (and how I rate the series based on the LN):
The Rising of the Shield Hero 4th Season (terrible, incel wishfulfillment)
Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus (good mystery)
I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability Season 2 (boring shovel ware)
Secrets of the Silent Witch (good, after MC had time to grow on me. Also super cool Nero)
Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 2 (good, one of the better reincarnated as a thing series. source is dead though, so I expect anime original content after a few eps)
There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless…
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra (okay, Zerg players will love it)
The Water Magician (very interested in how this will be adapted, see this week’s “What have you read” …)
Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter (dropped the LN due to pedo-bait)
Welcome to the Outcast’s Restaurant! (I don’t think that’s a series that got picked up yet by an en publisher, but the synopsis reads like something I would love)
I didn’t realize 7th Prince had a LN. I read a good chunk of the manga and really the standout feature is the art. The story is entirely forgettable. The anime is similar in that the production was a more interesting story than the actual show.
Really curious how Vending Machine will play out if it goes anime original. I feel like one of the main reasons the first season “worked” was you could tell that the author had a peculiar passion about vending machines. Not sure that can be replicated if they start doing original content.
To be fair, there might be more the Vending machine story in the form of the web novel. I’m only familiar with the two published volumes and the content from them should be exhausted in only a few episodes.
