  @drone205 said in Light Novels With The Cheesiest / Most Ridiculous "Hook".: @terrence The Proof that Humanity has Declined is all those little Spirits that surrounds the Main Character of the Yankee one. I am uncultured swine that never watched Humanity Has Declined. T.T Those little spirits remind me of Lucy's friend.

  @paulnamida said in Sol Press AMA on /r/LightNovels: @smashman42 My guess is he's talking about Saikyou Gamer, the one Sol Press licensed. Yes sorry, that’s exactly what happened.

  @dtta said in Invaders of the Rokujouma !? Remastered Discussion!: This one and I think Magic is Too Far Behind are semi-permanently open. I dunno what they'll do when they finally catch up with volume 28, but as of now, all subscribers can read Rokujyouma on the site. I believe the additional specifics are: Rokujouma 1-12 (and up to 22 when it gets there) will "always" be free-to-view Rokujouma 23+ are members only; they may gradually get taken down as with other prepubs once the middle volumes catch up to 23 Magic too Far volume 1 will always be free-to-view Magic too Far 2+ will behave like normal prepubs: being member only (besides part 1) and expiring after a period of time

  @drone205 My personal favorite SAO variation is "Kirito missed that Ragout Rabbit". Talk about a game changer.

  @terrence I met the owner and head editor of Sol Press at Sakura-con and we talked for a while. We decided to host an AMA on the /r/LightNovels subreddit when they were ready to announce the licenses so they contacted me earlier this week to set up the AMA and I knew they were going to make the announcement sometime this week. Hakogami posted the news on /r/LightNovels, but I was also checking their site a couple times a day.

  @canadadesu said in If there were English-language audiobooks available for popular light novel series, would people buy them?: I have decided to go all in. Doing some sample recordings at a recording studio this weekend. Even if it's only proof of concept I'm tempted to read a whole dang book and hand it to you as a feit accompli. But I'm planning to record chapters of Realistic Hero, Ragnarok, Smartphone, and a few others. So, how did the recording go? I am contemplating having a go at recording myself.

  @swhp yes, in the beginning he used the dagger to Slap, but later on, after they go back to train he mentions getting the sap as a secondary weapon, so he still fights with the dagger but wields the sap on his off-hand to Slap.

  The Save / Load "cheat" I mentioned earlier, I found the LN I was actually thinking about. It is on Syosetu. It has a manga adaptation on Bookwalker too. 「俺の現実は恋愛ゲーム？？　～かと思ったら命がけのゲームだった～」読んだ！ https://ncode.syosetu.com/n4565dq/ #narou #narouN4565DQ "Is my reality a love game? What? ~ I thought it was a life-saving game ~" The other WN mentions the possibility of taking lecherous action before the dude decides he's too kind to do that, but this LN / manga protag actually does cross that line. I don't know how I feel about that (kind of hoping he suffers karmically really badly later in this story for his actions). xC

  So I've started collecting Syosetu links for stuff that's on Bookwalker that may be cancelled series, but may be finished / ongoing on Syosetu. https://twitter.com/GRNKRBY/status/980594465881640960?s=20 One interesting one is this Space Opera that only got two volumes released on Bookwalker, the last being in 2014, but it has over 200 parts on Syosetu including the latest in December of 2017. Bookwalker: https://bookwalker.jp/de661ee717-1e74-4bf5-81a2-4e2d4e5e263e/?acode=WpfPW3yk Syosetu: 「僕と彼女と実弾兵器（アンティーク）」読んだ！ https://ncode.syosetu.com/n9463br/ #narou #narouN9463BR

  @steelblaidd There's certainly a major difference in quantity there. Ichika (currently) only has three girls fighting over him, but absolutely has a much larger pool (the entire high school) eyeballing him. Rekka, on the other hand, already has seven (As of Volume 3. I'm sure the count keeps growing.) girls fighting over him, and every girl he meets will (potentially) get added to that group thanks to R's interference. Edit to add: As I'm reading volume 5, I'm more convinced that Rekka's "denseness" is 20% actually being dense, 30% R just implying that he's dense, and 50% him not wanting to die painfully.
