The manga for this is good. Wonder how much more detail is in the light novels. Also interested in how much of the web novel the light novel has adapted. Would be cool to get a license.

Would definitely love to see this light novel series get licensed.

I like the solving mysteries without leaving the apartment idea.

In the series itself, his parents are in hiding for the time being while they try to escape the massive debt they’re in.

If this got license, the top 10 of 2010s are completed. Miracles.

Currently rewatching the anime. Really want to dig in the source. Hoping for miracles.

Randomly read the manga somewhere. This is interesting an interesting romcom, hoping again for a miracle.

I would really like this one. I've put it in the Seven Seas survey before.

I believe reviews said it felt like volume 1 was enough of a conclusion? So it doesn't really even need to go to volume 2 let alone continue afaik.

Originally published in 2004-2005, reissued in 2020; in the meantime, the publisher changed its name slightly, and the re-issued series has a slightly different name ("New Edition" is appended to the titles for each volume), but the text and illustrations are unchanged per the publisher's page for the Author's works.

JNC could use a smutty license considering how they're caught up with How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord.

This would be a good shorter series to fill the kingdom building niche whenever Fushi no Kami ends.

I have been praying for literal years that this series would one day get an adaptation. I honestly can't say, "Take My Money" fast enough if j-novel club decided to publish this series. Best of all, it's complete, no waiting for Japanese releases! Please make my dreams of reading this series a reality. It had a manga that was short-live and doesn't even move past the anime that was released for it years back (it had 2 seasons of 39 episodes each!). I have re-watched it several times because it's just that enjoyable. It follows a strong female lead with an awesome cast around her. It dives heavily into politics, public works, infrastructure, medicine, etc. In addition, has a bit of fantasy woven in as well. Really can't go wrong with it. I would absolutely guarantee that people have purchased and enjoy Ascendance of Bookworm would also pounce on this series!

Just another vote for this series. The manga is entertaining and it's a different kind of OP protag where the story includes a lot of references to his first summoning.

Hyejung loved to read to escape her daily stress. But that’s before she woke up inside the bizarre world of her favorite novel! Instead of the main heroine who courts three eligible men, she is now Latte Ectrie – a minor villain that everyone hates?!

The series is completed, as is its sequel series. It did well enough in Korea to justify a webtoon, which got translated into English and has done pretty well for itself. It already has a fanbase here of people who would buy the book, myself included. The author is Ellianyang or 엘리아냥.

I'm not sure how many books are in the series, just that it has been published in print format. There are about 7 books total, according to Google Books, but there may be 1-2 more.

I was just talking to someone about this recently - more of laughing about it, but it's all good
