      is there a down vote button for a topic?

      No, Sam said long ago that people can vote yes with an upvote, but if they are against something they should use their words instead of just downvoting and saying nothing.

      Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

        I have no interest in JNC publishing LNs where being erotic is the main theme. I'd rather watch my porn.

        I do enjoy the rare LN that includes older characters like Realist Hero, Death March, and 300 Years Killing Slimes.

        I also don't mind LNs that include "adult situations" in the context of an actual story, like Realist Hero, or occasional "unpleasant adult situations" like in Lazy Dungeon Master.

          Pure R-18 are usually meh, just pure pornography in written form, with a few exceptions here and there.
          For example Maou no Hajimekata has a half decent story, manga is licensed by Seven Seas.
          Himekishi ga Classmate manga is half decent, I guess?
          Parallel Paradise probably have a plot, if you look deeply between the lines.

          R-15 usually involves soft description of sexual scenes while focusing on the plot. Examples of such stories would be:
          Isekai Meikyuu
          Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi
          Kujibiki Tokushou
          Seichou Cheat de Nandemo Dekiru you ni Natta ga
          Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara
          The Dungeon Seeker (at least the web novel)

          In most cases, my personal preference would be of R-15 variety.

            If you want a good erotic light novel try "inside the cave of obscenity" which is a surprisingly good book, the sex scenes are bad tho.
            The rest, however, is quite good as a fantasy novel with good characters, interesting world building, and it's good at keeping the tension high, just the MC is too op.
            But if you ignore the sex parts it's better than a number of regular fantasy LN licenced in english.

            Do you like death, war and misery ?
            Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
            Do you like vengeance story?
            If so then then vote for The girl who ate a death god

              There is an R-18 tag on novelupdates, and even some other more detailed tags, you can look for some porn novels there.
              And don't forget to recommend if you find smt good.

                  On the list of things where I need to remind myself not to criticize anyone else for what they like.

                  To those who do: Your fun is not wrong, even if it isn't my fun.

                    Oh, I wasn’t endorsing nor criticizing the title in the link ( I haven’t even seen the source material) just noting that from how it is described, it is “adult” ( I’m guessing ecchi not hentai)

                    I read banned books

                      I didn't think you were, but It's such a specific fetish that I had to remind myself not to :)

                        I’m against what can be considered hard core. Avoiding incest (up to cousin of first degree) and underage are a must. Of course the act has to be consensual. Following these guidelines it would be nice if J-Club could publish more adult novels.
