Novel pick-up requests

Terrence

Looking up horror Light Novels. This seems fun.

Bringing the Supermarket to the Apocalypse - Main character and their super market get transported to an Apocalyptic setting.

Something with a Yandere could be interesting too. Not a huge fan of the trope, but, we got nothing featuring them (not too many Tsunderes either). Are any of the Yandere novels decent? I'm seeing Chronicles of an Extreme Yandere on the list I'm looking at.

I still want my "Death Need Round" restaurant mascot assassination novels too. 🍔

But do they continue doing their day to day supermarket duties, helping customers restocking shelves prepare bentos...or do they switch to survival mode?

Why not both? Probably can restock the shelves with some new supplies courtesy of the bioengineered livestock created from nuclear fallout, like 2 headed cows and 3 eyed fish. :laughing:

@terrence hmmmmm, if they still operate the supermarket like usual then I would wanna read it, but if they just switch to survival mode and barricade the market set up an HQ and stockpile the supplies to try and survive I would probably pass.

Reviewer says it's mostly a "pseudo-Cultivation novel based in the "modern" world". Take that how you like. It's also a Chinese web novel now that I look, so ehh, probably not great chances to make it stateside.

Hopefully someone picks up, Humanity Has Declined (was a possibility from the clues last time) and Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou. The ones that I think are good (I would easily pay for them), but will stay at fan translations are Risou no Himo Seikatsu and Tsuki Tsuki (although the fan translations are of publishable quality).

Description:

When he realized it, the protagonist was in another "game-like" world and had become a sword that was stabbed in the ground in a great forest, overrun with beasts. At least, that was until he met with a cat girl that was about to be attacked by a bear type beast.

Description:

In an age long lost to legend and myth.

In an age where humans had still yet to establish a system of writing.

It’s said that there existed a Magus in a country named Scarlet.

It’s said that he imparted knowledge concerning language and writing, taught how to cultivate the lands, instructed the ways of raising animals, and brought about the gift—nay, the magic of fire.

It’s said that he was a dauntless youth, a dragon clad in scarlet red scales, a person worshiped far and wide.

It’s said that this man was the God of Civilization.

Yet strangely, his name had been virtually wiped from the records.

Therefore, he was simply referred to as—

—The Magus of Genesis.

Newest Justus R Stone top ten in Japan is up if you're looking for ideas.

World Teacher was on the list. I really want that one based on receptions from you guys here, that it has shipping elements that aren't limited to the main character.

Other people have mentioned Knight's and Magic, and I just watched the anime and absolutely loved it. It reminded me a bit of Realist Hero in that the MC is incredibly intelligent (since he's an adult genius computer programmer reincarnated into a child in the new world). It was also refreshing that the MC is young (although his thought processes are adult) and so the harem aspect isn't so blatant. I don't know how difficult it would be to get the license for the volumes (publisher is Shufunotomosha (主婦の友社), but I would absolutely love an officially licensed translation of this series. I haven't enjoyed an anime so much in several months, and Knight's and Magic just kind of hit me in the right place.

@camytang
Harem? There's no harem at all. Unless a bunch of giant soul-less robots count as heroines.

camytang

@aruseus493 Well the anime had several girls who loved the MC as a body pillow

paulnamida

@camytang but the MC can only get hard when thinking about robots so he doesn't really care. I certainly liked his lack of fucks about his "harem". His annoyed face whenever Addie hugged him was priceless. "Fuck off bitch, let me build my roboto."

Aruseus493

@camytang There were only two of them. And only one of them made any sort of regular appearance. I wouldn't even call that a love triangle honestly, let alone a harem.

camytang

@aruseus493 apologies i think i mistook adie's sister as a third girl in a different scene. honestly, the lack of girls after him was refreshing to me.

paulnamida

K&M spoilers ahead, but I really loved this about the last arc in the anime.

camytang

@paulnamida I thought the exact same things!

I dunno if this link works, but it should be the Kono Light Novel Ga Sugoi section on Bookwalker. These are basically the best / most popular light novel series of the year, so a decent place to look for suggestions / peek at covers.

「このライトノベルがすごい！2018（宝島社刊）【文庫部門】BEST50」

https://bookwalker.jp/campaign/8043/?acode=WpfPW3yk

At the top of the list is "Dragon's S#it" according to my Google Translate (it's really "A Ryou's Work Is Never Done", which is out in English on the other North American / World site). :poop:

Not sure if anyone has suggested these, or if we have any Danganronpa fans in here, but:

Danganronpa/Zero - 2 volumes
Danganronpa Togami - 3 volumes
Danganronpa Kirigiri - 5 volumes

They seem to have backstories for some of the franchise's characters.

There's a few more, but I thought those sounded the most interesting.
