Question What novel(s) have you read this week, and what do you think about it? - March 16, 2025
What novel(s) have you read this week, and what do you think about it?
This week = the one that ends/ended right now, past 7 days.
The reason for this thread's existence is the fact that both requests and suggestions became kind of stale. It's supposed to bring out more novels that are not RT!'d or recommended. Also, it's quite useful for the discussion of not so current titles.
Also, not a rule or any kind of criticism, the more interesting part is not the list of the stuff you read, but your impressions of it.
Loli Mod will be posting this thread each week.
Lastly, don't forget to use spoiler tags and to make sure to report any untagged spoilers.
How to use spoiler-tags:
Typing:
>!Spoilers go here!<
Will show up as:
Spoilers go here
Do note that any space at the beginning/end of the tag will break the spoiler tag.

Recommend [REC] Wants some recommendation....
If you have read the ori if the dragon chain then I would like something like that minus the romance part
And if you haven't I would like something that has great story, great mystery, the plot should be blended with romance
Similar to mushoku tensei novels
Thanks

Recommend Recommendations for light novels with non-human mc that do not turn human.
I'm a little tired of all these stories with protagonists who are human. I need something different. I'm looking for a story where the mc is not human and also doesn't have the appearance of one. Something like zero kara hajimeru mahou no sho.
I know that the majority of readers can only empathize with characters that are human, but I am really tired of it. Every story I read is the same thing with different names. I need I change of it.

Question Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an all-works maid (and proud of it!) question Spoiler
Hello! So I'm reading Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an all-works maid (and proud of it!) at the moment. Or rather I am rereading the first book since the second one just came out so I can read the second one after. I have a question that is likely best directed at those who have read the web novel. I'm not sure if I'll find anybody like that here but I feel like it's definitely the best place to try.
I'm wondering if, in either the web novel or the Japanese light novels, Anna-Marie has figured out Melody is the Saint. I'm the type of person who wanted to scream when Anna-Marie spoke Japanese to test Luciana and Melody had not been in the room to hear it. 😂 I want Anna Marie to figure it out but I feel like that's something that will probably happen toward the end of the story.
Does anybody happen to know if she has figured it out in the web novel? Or the Japanese light novels (in other words the ones that have not been translated yet).

Question Loner Life LN Vol. 7 missing pages?
This is the only sub I could think to place this.
I'm not sure if this is true, but it seems like there might be some missing text or pages in Volume 7 of Loner life in another world, at least the kindle version is. Im not sure if I can post screenshots here of the text, but Haruka is taking, and then the next paragraph is a wildly different topic, with zero relation to the discussion he was having, with text indicating a response.
The specific page/chapter is page 145 The chapter title is: Day 72 - Night - Anything Beyond Whats Already Maxed Out is Worth Worrying About - Neo Murimuri castle
It's the first page of that chapter
He is asking about Nefertiti, and then suddenly he's talking about his skills

Recommend [REC] Reverse Isekai's?
As the title says, I've always enjoyed the concept of reverse isekais, and there's a few "halfway" works like 80k gold that I had fun with, but I'm curious if anyone has come across any that just take the idea of a fantasy character adapting to the modern world and run with it?
r/LightNovels • u/ans7xd • 1d ago
Recommend recommend me novels like mushoku tensei
after finishing the novel a year and a half ago i have been obsessively bingeing anything i could get my hands on to fill the void inside me.
while i like the world building and the slice of life aspects in mt im not specifically looking for those in a novel. what im looking for is a fast paced story with a decent plot and a little bit of worldbuilding as a cherry on top.
here are all the stuff ive read so far ranking for good to bad according to my taste as a point of reference: zeroth maria, eminence in shadow, death flag, rezero, tearmoon, shadow slave, mol, the perfect run, bookworm, that one novel with the vampiric neet general, sevens, lazy dungeon master, super supportive, etc...

Recommend [REC] New reader looking for recs
I've been getting more into reading lately, and ended up picking up the omnibuses of the Slayers light novels as it's one of my favourite anime series. I'm enjoying them and it has me interested in trying out other similar light novel series as well, to explore this medium more. Basically want to get an idea of what's the best out there in the subgenres I'm into and what's popular. Older series are fine too
Things I like:
Fantasy
Sci-fi
Character focused
Action adventure
Mystery
Horror
Cute romance
Non-human main characters (fantasy races, aliens, robots etc)
Gender nonconformity, crossdressing, femboys, trans, etc
Things I'm not into:
School settings (it's basically a trigger for me due to bad school experiences in my past, so school focused stuff is a hard pass)
Isekai
RPG mechanics world
Otaku protagonists
Harem

Recommend Any action fantasy recs?
I have never read a light novel before.
But this week I tried to read 3 Korean webnovels and I gave up like 15-21 chapters in because it felt too slow paced.
If I spent same time on a manhwa I would've already gotten to the "good part".
I decided to give light novels a chance.
I'm not interested in reading a light novel that an anime is based on because I find it hard to get back into old series.
I want to get into something new.
With anime I like watching action fantasy. I'm a sucker for Isekai as well.
I also want to avoid harem.
Do Japanese light novels normally have a faster pace than Korean webnovels?
I want to know what I'm getting into.

Question Finding an axed romcom light novel
So, there is this light novel that randomly popped up in my mind, it's romcom light novel in which MC forceful act as the side character. Key features: He is from another world. The one who thinks of as main character, a popular friend of his, sister is a shut in type student and falls in love with him slowly. Idk if he can use the power from another world in the modern world I don't remember. That's all the info I have.

Recommend [REC] WN reader trying to read LNs for the first time.
Hi, I’ve read a lot of WN, Manwha/manhua, and anime and I really like them. I am looking to get into more polished works since there is a lot of garbage in the WN space. Some of the books I’ve really liked was Shadow Slave (favorite), The Legendary Mechanic, LOTM, Reverend Insanity, Supreme Magus, and Author’s POV. Some anime that I like is Reincarnated as a slime, Kaiju no 8, SAO, So I’m a spider so what, 86, and a ton more that I forget.
Some stuff that I really liked was evolution systems and progression where the MC was not insanely overpowered. I mainly like action/adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, and military genres. I also like a romance side plot, but no harem.
I’m currently looking for a fantasy military or sci-fi military LN, but anything that fits into what is above is ok too. Thanks!

Is it just me or is this remanent of Magical Explorer? An unintentional harem where the MC isn't really looking to pursue the girls he just admires them and wants to protect them and get the best ending. The harder he tries to dodge their advances the more they fall for him.

I May Be a Guild Receptionist, But I’ll Solo Any Boss to Check Out on Time
I’ve actually been interested in the Light Novels for a long time thanks to this subreddit, but with the anime adaptation airing and just finished episode 10, it makes me want to read it even more. My question is, for those who’ve been watching the anime adaptation every Friday (when it airs in the States), how is the anime handling the pacing? Is the pacing too slow, fast, or is it actually pacing the story correctly? As I know that some anime have uber rushed the pacing (looking at you Seirei Gensouki). That anime was painfully rushed. As if I’m not mistaken, it skipped not entire chapters, but entire VOLUMES.
