General Light Novel Thread

[Nicο]

I figure it was worth a shot now that there are quite a few official LN translations nowadays as well. Also, I was advised to put it in this section, some months ago.

 

I might put some announcements and stuff here if this lasts enough. Or maybe I should do that right away, anything that might spark comments should help. Little too tired right now, though.

 

But ah, I suppose I'll start by listing the things I've been reading, and perhaps actually talk about something I've particularly enjoyed. 

 

[spoiler=somewhat long due to making a point to read at least a part of J-Novel's pre-pubs per day, if I can]

• In Another World With My Smartphone
• Mixed Bathing in Another Dimension (sadly they are caught up with the Japanese now, this is surprisingly tasteful for something with such a name)
• I Saved Too Many Girls and Caused the Apocalypse
• Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash
• Outbreak Company: The Power of Moe
• Suzumiya Haruhi Series (much slower, I've read 2 volumes, but man, it seems like it's never going to be continued...)
• Eromanga-sensei (only one not licensed, which seems like there may be good reason, there's more even more blatant referencing of other works than in the anime, could be tricky. Anyway, also slower, and I may stop once I finish vol. 3, and wait a bit just to see, 'cause the translation is just... too literal and JP style, after all the professional ones I've been reading)
• Invaders of the Rokujouma!? (I was pissed off at a couple characters most people probably wouldn't mind for the longest time, but I'm seeing them in a better light as of late, and I highly recommend this as the one to go to for checking out official quality stuff, as J-Novel Club are putting the whole volumes up on their site/app every month, for free for a good long while. They did hire the fan translator and supposedly did less editing to his translations than I'd have thought, since he sounds like one of the better ones out there.)
• Demon King Daimaou
• My Little Sister Can Read Kanji (It's swell satire. But purposefully goes much further with the little sister stuff than most things I've seen (not in that way you sick perv), that even I'm kinda glad it's been on break for this long)

 

 

 

Didn't really talk about the ones I've been enjoying most yet, oh well.
