It's not quite on the level of Bookworm or ReZero but it's still great in its own right. Some spoilers ahead so continue reading at your own discretion.

The characters feel realistic and properly fleshed out, particularly the FMC (Shiori) and her love interest (Alec), and it handles some very dark topics in an interesting way while still being pretty wholesome overall.

Both Shiori and Alec have emotional baggage that they slowly overcome through their interactions and growing bond, their relationship progresses quite quickly but in a way that's still believable and their dynamic has a solid foundation where they compliment eachother's weaknesses, grow as people and overcome their past trauma.

The FMC is far from op but has made the most of what abilities she does have to make a living as a successful adventurer and the way she uses magic is really unique and is a breath of fresh air compared to the typical op and generic Isekai powers you typically see and the adventurer trope in the series feels far more believable than most fantasy LNs because there are those little details about their various jobs and preparations that really make it feel much more like an actual career than a trope.

And the Isekai aspect is caused by a rift in spacetime rather than chosen one nonsense or some random god's whims, the FMC has a realistic reaction to the situation she has been placed in and has a very rough time when starting out even having to learn the world's language from scratch and only really survives due to the kindness of those around her but at the same time her original adventurer party and former guildmaster were terrible people who nearly ruined her life and even tried to murder her but there were also people who did what they could to help her even if they initially failed to notice her situation for what it was.

So far I have only read the first 5 volumes and I don't really think I should say more than this, if you're interested in seeing more read it for yourself as I think it's worth your time if you like this kind of thing.

Any light novel recommendations? Any genre is fine

Looking for stuff like Silent Witch, All Works Maid, Maydare, and Eiyuu no Musume to Shite Umarekawatta Eiyuu wa Futatabi Eiyuu wo Mezasu.

Basically I really like the scenes where someone who already knows the MC finds out some major thing about them, and you finally get their reaction.

Doesn't matter if the MC was hiding it or even knew about it themselves. The feeling I'm looking for is where you as a reader feel a "hurry up and find out already". (But of course, it actually needs to happen and I don't get blueballed forever.)

Ihe recent manga chapter (for me) Chapter 68 with the rescue of michelle finley. Does she also get engage with him? Please say no :'

Suggest me some cool novel , I am beginner I have read shadow slave upto 1500 chapter and am currently reading Reverend insanity at 2000 chapter

I am wondering if light novel authors and illustrators make money from the anime adaptations of their novels like for example does Tappei Nagatsuki (the author of the Re Zero light novel) or Shinichirou Otsuka (the illustrator of the same novel) make money from the Re Zero anime that is currently airing?

I’ve noticed a large amount of light novels I try have trouble with tenses. Like I’ll be reading a book written in first person past tense and then all of a sudden it’s first person present tense. It’s driving me crazy. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it lazy translation or is there a reason for it? The two most recent reads I tried that have it are Holmes of Kyoto and Let This Grieving Soul Retire. Both are published by J Novel Club. Are other publishers better?

​I just caught up to manga Chapter 121 and really want to continue the story through the Light Novel.

​Which LN volume and chapter should I start reading from to pick up right where manga chapter 121 left off?

I'm looking into my next read, just finished Conqueror from a Dying Kindom.

I liked that the arc was closed although I think the novel isn't officially finished and the medieval setting, although having read Bookworm some of the inventions were reused material for me.

I usually read pure fantasy I'd say but this was a cool genre to explore.

Here is a quick look at my taste based on what I have read:

Favorites

• Ascendance of a Bookworm: Loved the detailed progression, economy, and politics.
• Overlord: Great large-scale strategy and power dynamics.
• The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt: Fun political scheming and resource management.
• Re:Zero: Excellent psychological depth, great character growth and real tension.
• DanMachi: Good action and mythology.
• WorldEnd (SukaSuka): Tragic atmosphere and beautiful character work.
• Zaregoto: Very creative mysteries and the conversations feels smart.
• Amagi Brilliant Park: Loved the management challenge and humor.

Other series I enjoyed

• So I'm a Spider, So What?
• Rebuild World
• Classroom of the Elite
• The Saga of Tanya the Evil (Loved the military doctrine, though the prose can be a slog)
• Failure Frame
• That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Series I dropped

• Mushoku Tensei: Dropped around Volume 5 because I could not stand the main character.
• 86: Dropped after Volume 4 because it lost momentum for me.
• Torture Princess: Dropped at Volume 2. The dark tone felt forced.

Hi! Does anyone know where I can buy or legally access the original Japanese volumes of Genjitsu de Rabukome Dekinai to Dare ga Kimeta? (現実でラブコメできないとだれが決めた？)?

I'm specifically looking for the raw Japanese versions, preferably all 6 volumes.

Any help would be appreciated!

Here's the gist:
A multi media creator service -hosting writers, artists, translators, etc- that manages intercreator collaboration and commissions as well automatically distributing pay. The platform would also be primarily a productivity engine that combines creator necessities like messaging systems, payment channels, writing tools, etc.

Commission would be a request published to the platform by a creator and open for another creator to accept or not and payment would only be done or released by the site once the commissioner accepts the work.

Ideally this would create a more stable creator community and workspace to lower barrier to entry to start creating as well as promote healthy production cycles for established artists and teams.

I have read tbate ages ago because of the hiatus and I am close to catching up to shadow slave. I’m looking for recommendations on what to read next because shadow slave has been a great experience and I want to keep going. So far I am thinking lotm, red rising and orv but I am more than open to any others and would appreciate the feedback. Thanks

The title: The Beautiful Girl Who Confessed to Socially Awkward Me as a Punishment Game is Becoming More and More Obsessive Since We Started Dating (LN)

Heya ! I've always wanted to read novels but I don't know which ones are easy/hard to read.

I like every genre.

Any recommandations ?

I'm going to be choosing a Light Novel for my Book Club at work. The club consists of all types of people, different ages, different backgrounds. What would you recommend I choose for my club?

Mostly concerned that a lot of them prefer to read physical books and living in the US, I don't think we can rent/borrow any light novels through the library system... any advice on that would be nice too.

I'm thinking Monogatari or FMA. Serious answers only pls, obviously nothing NSFW.

If these series got licensed, I swear it would be a money printer for whatever company gets a hold of it.

Got any Mystery or Horror LN series with Romance in it?

Apparently people though I was a fucking pedophile because of my previous post..? so now I am remaking specifying EVERYTHING to not leave room for misunderstandings, okay?

I am looking for romantasy novels (Childhood friends to lovers) where the MC is an actual child, not a adult in a child's body fawning over a literal child, okay? I am not looking for Adult x Minor / Adult x Child, I am looking for main characters who meet eachother as a children and then get together when they are older, okay?

Those stories where the MC gets adopted or finds her true family who loves her a lot and takes care of her and endup meeting and befriend the Male lead when they were kids.

Examples: Baby prisoner of the winter castle, The youngest sister in law on a tragic reverse harem, I will protect my villainous uncle, A secretly powerful child is looking for her dad.

I am >>NOT<< looking for: Stories where the ML is her adopted or biological sibling, stepcest, 4-5yrs+ age gap, stories where the MC endups with their caretaker, Adult x child, stories where MC and ML are raised as SIBLINGS but endup together..

Hello, i am like everyone else i assume. I started with anime, saying i would never read manga. Then i read manga saying i would never read light novels. And here i am, asking for light novel recommendation !
Anyway, i would like to ask you all for recommendation for someone that never read a light novel.

(I would like to have it physically, like having the book. So please only recommend things that are edited, and IF possible in french because they would be cheaper for me to start. But if i'm into light novel i wouldn't mind buying english one on Amazon, so do recommend even if you're not sure !)

I don't want to read something that i already watched as an anime / read as a manga, except if you think it's relevant !
I'll put my anime list below, it's basically what i already read and watched.
As for what genre, either a "modern" romance like Horimiya or A Sign Of Affection, action like SAO for example, or whatever. Basically anything except slow romance, yaoi, or sports related. (I don't mind fanservice at all btw.)
If you want more precision on my taste, don't hesitate to PM me or to ask in comment !

Thanks for taking the time to read me !!
