While there wasn't anything I was dying for or what I would have had in my top ten wants, most everything that got licensed I had on the wishlist (outside of the two black robed character series in Gluttony and Black Summoner, the anime based titles, and the Minotaur and Bloodline ones I never heard of). Holmes of Kyoto in particular a good sign for mystery. So I was pretty happy.
People are really down on Failure Frame as a "clone", huh? I always liked the look of the art, though that's subjective, and I try not to look too deeply into a story before I've read it to give it my full attention / as blind a reaction as possible, so I didn't realize this was the title folks were talking about.
Even if it's a "clone", the girl on the cover appears not to be a Loli, so that already is a big superficial difference. And a lot of titles do that "they threw me off into a pit to die, but I just became stronger / changed my hairstyle / came back for revenge", so I wouldn't begrudge it that set-up necessarily. A lot of set-ups in LN follow similar formula (Meet god, god gave me these OP / crap abilities, I wake up in the forest and save a girl, etc), and then they settle in after.
