I dont remember much about it because I read it a long time ago but its genre was tragedy (very heavy and filled with violence) and the two main characters were already married but they got divorced after the FL was stabbed in a party and forgot her memory. The ML was in love with a different girl which was the crown princess and he always compared the FL to her and manipulated the FL to be similar to the crown princess that she lost herself. The story is basically about how they both changed their lives for the better and they didn't end up together.
Any leads on what this novel is would be greatly appreciated ^^
Just wanted to see what suggestions y'all have. Nothing in 1st pov. Can't really read 1st pov.
basically good highschool romance
I want to read start reading light novels please recommend me some light novel to read which have not been adapted into anime or manga and the protagonist should male (genre psychological, mystery, Sci-Fi tragedy, romance)
I'm just starting to read LN. Currently, I finished Apothecary Diaries vol 1-10 and 7th time loop vol 1-5. Now I am looking for wholesome romance LNs. Also, if you can recommend me any LNs that would be great too. Thank you!
Happy ending, no harem, if possible fantasy setting also I have read most of ntr available on novel updates so don't recommend me ones that are commonly known.
Like World exists because of mc or Villen or side character if they die world will get destroyed
Just finished the manga "this village NPC could only be real" and really loved it to the point I'd want to read the novel of it, since the manga practically ended now.
Honestly, I really liked act 2 after getting used to the new status quo. Personally I think this Tinasha is better than act 1. Act 1 Tinasha was also very good though, but act 2 feels like a more complex character with the contrast between her queen self and how she is with Oscar (and the conflicts resulting from that). If anyone read after the end or babel, is the extra chapter how they met in the true history? did they ever have kids? what happened to Farsus, like succession and all that? how does their immortality work? They said their bodies stop at their prime but they get reincarnated, do they only get reincarnated if they die by getting killed? And with Tinasha's witch knowledge, how do they get killed so often?
I recently caught up to what was translated of Shoushimin and was hoping to find other series that were similar to it. I’ve also already read Yonezawa other work Hyouka.
Title says it all! However, i am looking specifically for light novels that currently DO NOT have an anime. Any recommendations are fine but I do like my serious stories or have fights and stuff. Kinda like Mushoku Tensei and That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime. I know these are Isekai that I’m using as examples but I’m not specifically looking for that genre but just something thats a bit engaging. Anyway, recommend me anything! :)
I'm interested in yuri villeness these days
is lyrule alive or dead ? does she come back to life in the 10th volume ?
There’s a part in the book where Marino is discussing Kouskue. My question is where she is saying she would like him to bring along any one the girls. The words used are “any of you dea-ow, don’t kick me!” What is the word supposed to be? Dea???
I haven't previously heard of this series and I began reading it when it appeared at j-novel.club, just out of curiosity. I've been following it and I like it more and more, so it's been a nice surprise to me. I'll agree if you say it's a bit too extreme, but I find it real fun and I'm expecting every weekly (more or less) new part. Any comments about it?

I remember watching the OVA and since I'm not planning to read the LN, I wondered who did Yotaro choose?
Also which of the 19 daughters like him? (not counting the very young ones)
Just curious as I have been considering getting into the novels after I finish watching the show, but I don’t know if there is any difference between them I general, such as the writing itself.
Okay, to sum up for me MT was the best LN of all time. It changed my life. I relate so much to the MC, to the grievance from the past, to the real feel (not a game) of the world, to wanting to live your life fully before dying, to people having good and bad side etc.
Problems though, after reading MT and watching the anime, I no longer can enjoy anything (okay maybe Frieren a little but not as much as MT)
Then I remembered an old anime I watched before my MT phase, Grimgar. It made me depressed >! Especially after Minato death !<.
As the anime continuation is dead, I think I want to start the LN. Given that I like MT, Is it worth it ? What is the negative side of it ?
I may have gotten spoiled a little >! Apparently they were all in a bus before going grimgar, this was seen in a character dream, not sure though... !<
I just don't want to invest time and at the end have something like the tate no yuusha LN...
I'm pretty new to light novel/web novel/manga reading world, having mostly been an anime watcher before this, though now started reading all 3 types.
Something I started wondering about, is if Light/Web Novels are ever made directly into anime, like without having a manga. And in the case it has a manga and the anime had "caught up", if they'd continue making it based on the light/web novel, instead of waiting for further manga releases.
My honest guess would be no, based on the fact they'd have to design everything, but I'm curious if any of ya'll know of an example where someone's done it, or anything like it.
From where to I continue to read the ln after the anime?
It's like tuning in to your favorite TV series, and in every episode, there's this recurring theme – one character constantly subjected to teasing. It's become a staple, almost expected, but as a viewer, you can't help but notice how it's taken a toll. This character, the main one you root for, never seems to catch a break. The teasing is relentless, almost as if it's more about the other characters' amusement than any genuine connection with the person being teased.
And here's the kicker: despite all the hints and setups for character development, they never seem to get the chance to move on. It's like the writers are more interested in the cheap laughs from the teasing than giving this character any real depth or growth.
Poeple how read enough anime media should know what i am refering too
Hi, I looking for romance LN, out of this three, which one is the best romance LN?
Recently, I just find an interesting series "The Holy Grail of Eris", so I look into it and find that last novel publish at 2022, and not continued, when I look into JP novel, I dont find any epub availble, while Manga series still continued, and other translate group had translated to vol 7, so what happen? Why it got deleted from online store? Did it continue? Hiatus? Or got cancelled?
This a question i have been pondering and wondered what people thought. To preface this I do not necessarily mean light novels you like as I would say there are alot of light novels I like but at the same time they are just light entertainment and not necessarily littery excellence but there is some I think are genuinely well written
My examples are the rascal series, Overlord, That Time I got reincarnated as a slime (though I do dubiously include this one and could understand arguments against it), Ascendance of a bookworm, wandering witch Journey of Elaina, Konosuba (excellent satire of the isekai genre as well being genuinely funny), D-genesis, Min maxing my trpg build in another world.
Theres probably some of I have missed as i did this from memory
Examples if ones I love but wouldn’t say are brilliantly written Kuma Kuma Kuma bear, killing slime for 300 years
So what are yours I am genuinely curious
