I’ve been trying to expand my library of physical books and… the older Yen On series’ are REALLY expensive! I bought the first two volumes to Black Bullet without issues but when it came to get 3 I found out that it’s going on eBay for 25 on up. Highest I saw was 84 bucks! Might just ditch the idea of getting the older stuff and move on to the newer series. Which is a shame because a lot of them sound fun to read.

ideally ones that havent been series/films before. lmk!

What's the romance stance on? With which twin is he with rn? It hasn't finished yet, correct? I'd be happy to have a little resume of the story so far if someone is willing! Thanks so much for the time!!

Could someone give me a list of all official media related to Torture Princess? There's the main 10 volumes, then there's the three gaiden novellas...but then I found out the author wrote epilogues and other story stories and only released them on pixiv/twitter? It's very confusing.

As a side-note, is any of the side material recommended to understand the main 10 books better?

Hello everyone, I read a lightnovel a year or two ago where the Mc joins a vrmmo but gets stuck as a sacrifice to a demon king however he gets the ability to gain exp and skills by dying to said demon king before beating him and leaving as an op mc, but I can’t remember the name of it so can anyone help me?

can anyone please tell me very short summary in current story line from Novel?

Aslo I want to know mc love interest, Does he ended up with someone in current story line or is it going to be harem ?

I really enjoyed the first few episodes of Akashic Records because of its magic system, the concept is so cool. They kind of relax their focus on it later on which makes me sad, because I believe the magic system carried a lot of my interest, but I did finish it and I would like to see more and don't expect it to get another season. What is the best method for this? Is the LN or Manga more worth it, where is a good place to start? Thank you!

Just curious as I am into the first book, but I am planning on reading more of the series just to see if the series develops more in its plot, but buying every single book from Google Books could be pricey as the series is not exactly cheap to obtain.

Really got into isekai and time return tropes with revenge plots, would love some recommendations since most of the stuff I’m reading is either updating or completed :(!

Is there a fandub for the LN? Jnovel is so slow on the manga adaptation and i cannot stand MTL that i wanted to make sure

So I was scrolling through internet this morning and saw the price of volume 1 1st edition higher then other volume 1s, so my question would be how much would a full 7 volume set of 1st edition "The Empty Box of Zeroth Maria be?" since they are OOP and I happened to buy all the the volumes during their release dates? Did I perhaps a gold mine? (also first post here :)

I need to know does Rentt and Lorraine end up together romantically?

I heard that the webnovel is shit, and the light novel is different. But I just wanna hear from y'all, since I can't really find any viable comment that explains the difference.

Does Yukihime finally get her love, Juugo? Or is it the dumb thing where she gets shafted and so does every other girl who liked him?

I'm thinking of reading the LN if the story is finished but the WN seems abandoned so I'm worried that the LN is not finished.

Hello,

I am looking for a LN to start that will get me emotionally hooked. I want an exciting read, something that will keep me glued to the world and characters. Something that has good world building like MT and something with characters like hakomari. I prefer series with as little comedic relief and cheesiness as possible. Ideally, a story where the characters traverse a harsh world, are forced to adapt, but also come to like each other romantically due to their experiences together.

Some of the stories I've read so far are MT, COTE, Hakomari, Torture Princess, Sukasuka, Grimgar and 86.

Thank you!

So it's exactly like in the title. I have been looking for a physical book, but only got e book versions. I really liked the anime, and even though its may be boring going further (as a lot of people here said this) I still want to buy the book

Did J-Novel Club drop the novel translation past vol.13? Can't see any progress for vol.14 so far.

It was about dungeon exploring and there was a boy who faked being a clumsy adventurer, until one day he met a girl who was like the unexpected 7th goddess, born from the dungeon. He was the hero of a fairy tail who used a sword and somehow ended up with both a black and white(snow/ice) sword. There was like a familar / goddess relationship between the pairs but his original goddess was descending into madness. I wana recall they called it the serpent of the end or demise or something. And he ended up having to kill his original goddess. Only after that he started aging again. And there are like 6 other pairs in the world. I want to believe the boy's name was Yuki. And his swords have kind of a will of its own that manifested into a dragon or something when he gave it up only to reconquer it and reacquire his old sword back after defeating the dragon.

Here's a link where you can download them. There are two volumes so far. They're extremely well done and professionally made.

Just a laid-back question, what does Light Novels do better than the fantasy/other genre series that's quite more popular in the west? Why do you choose to read Tensura over Six of Crows, for example? If you read both types, then what do you like about Light Novels more than their counterparts?

Hey all,

Been wanting to pick up the series after episode 11, but, from what l've read on the subreddit here, we're only up to finishing volume 3 or so of the LN. would it be better to pick up volume four from here and maybe skip episode 12 altogether?

Or, are there some things that knowledgeable LN readers would know would happen in episode 12 that I cannot skip whatsoever because of plot relevancy, and would then have to wait until the anime finishes to then read the LN?

I started reading lns this year with Mushoku Tensei and AoB cause i saw a lot people saying they were among the best and i loved both of them. Especially AoB which ended up being my favorite. So i am now looking for starting another and i am curious about what other series would you say are unanimously considered a must read? After those ive also finished Overlord, Roshidere and Conqueror from a Dying Kingdom which were also great, after that when i tryed looking up similar series most didnt catch my attention, and i ended up reading 2 books of Making Magic ansd 7 volumes of the TRPG ln, but in both the author's prose ended up feeling extremely repetive, and now i feel discouraged in starting another series just trying to go for similar series.

Hi does anyone know if there's an official English translation of the hundred novel? i want to read it but I'd like to buy it physically

I just finished the manga and discovered that it was basically a promotion to the LN so can someone please give me a link to the LN (if possible upto the latest date) would appreciate it.

I am looking for but unable to find

Its the closest thing Ive ever read to Ascendance of a Bookworm and I considered that to be the closest to the epic that is Release That Witch. Its such a tragedy that this had to end so early - you can clearly see that they really couldve easily pushed it to 20 volumes similar to Ascendance of a Bookworm but got rushed only after 7 volumes.

Still even with its lackluster ending - the story is not a disappointment. I wished the market for these kinds of stories were larger, Im always hungry for more but alas.

Fly High Pheonix!

PS.

Im slightly sad that there is barely a wiki and community for this series but I guess all things come to rest. Hopefully the manga revives interest in this series.
