General Reading Recommendation Thread (Not Series License Requests)
-
Hello again, I just finished all avaible volumes of Lazy Dungeon Master. I get some Realist Hero taste from it. Is there any other series from JNC or not, which similar to those? Smart guy, building stuff which a little comedy in it?
8 parts, 8 weeks to read a book, than binge read the same book within' 2 hours again.
Myne: Did we deceived him?
Ferdinand: Indeed we did.
Myne: *surprised myneface -
@hopebestman Try out Der Werwolf.
-
@hopebestman maybe arifureta: from common place to world's strongest
-
@hopebestman - I enjoyed the 2 volumes of Strongest Gamer: Let's Play in Another World from Slow Press. It reaches a good stopping point.

@HarmlessDave @jjch102296 @myskaros i will check those novels. Thanks for rec. Also when i am here;
I read 3 volumes of Bride Elf and that is not series i am looking for :D I am changing the novel so when i read i will write about is it good or bad.

@Clarys If you are still searching for more J-Novel Club Heart novels, I can recommend you Deathbound Duke's Daughter. I've read the first two parts and was really intrigued by it. Why don't you try it out?^^
-
@Clarabelle
Hey :)
Thank you very much for your concern.
I have also already seen it, but the problem is I really don't like (Reverse) Harem. I have already tried “My next life as a villainess: All routes lead to doom!“ and read the first LN. But I don't like all this fighting for one girls/boys heart und snapping after her attention.
And it seems, this is very similar, isn't it? -
@Clarys Nah, I wouldn't say that. I think this novel is much more exiting.xD The whole alchemy and dungeon/ruins exploring is definitely something new. I personally really like it.^^
-
@Clarabelle
Okay, thank you. Then I will try it out. :)
So the LN doesn't focus on Harem that much? -
@Clarys It has the "reverse harem" tag, so I assume it is such a novel. But since the novel only has two volumes and it is not clear, if it will continue, I doubt you will notice much of it. Besides, the protagonist is still a child at this point. And like I already said, the absolute interesting world buildung, including the alchemy and magic part, plus the dungeon/ruin exploring etc. make up for it. I'm not too fond of harem stories either, although it doesn't really bother me much, if it's reverse harem.

Is there another series worth reading on j-novel club?

Tearmoon 8/10
Altina 7/10 -
@crowdcontrol What are you looking for?
Green's Theorem
-
Outbreak Co.
-
@piisfun Anything. If you have similar rating to the 3 series above, then we have similar taste. Anything that you consider rating 8 or above

@crowdcontrol said in Bookworm Part 2 Vol. 4 Discussion!:

My rating so far
Bookworm 9/10
Tearmoon 8/10
Altina 7/10Well, you've just picked my top three in the same order I'd rate them - so no, I don't know anything else as good as these. I'd probably put Bakarina a.k.a. My Next Life as a Villianess next, at least for the first couple of volumes. I feel subsequent volumes weren't as strong. Economics of Prophesy is another fairly strong contender.
I'm also reading Deathbound Duke's Daughter (it is early days for this translation, I don't have a firm opinion on this yet), Soap, Marielle Clarac, The White Cat's Revenge, I Refuse to be your Enemy.

Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf Fairly light-hearted, technically romance/adventure. Isekai/reverse Isekai. Currently on volume 4. (Friday, 23:00 UTC)
-
The Ordinary, The Extaordinay, and Soap! Definitely a light-hearted romance / adventure. Not an isekai. Currently releases at the same time as Bookworm.
-
Seirei Gensouki Isekai, the main character is reincarnated, several others were summoned. This one gets a little weird to follow sometimes. (Wednesay, 23:00 UTC)
-
I Shall Survive Using Potions A bit of an aquired taste? I mainly picked it up because I enjoy FUNA's (the author) sense of humor. (TL alternates this with Ms. Elf)
-
Campfire Cooking with My Absurd Skill Kind of a slice-of-life / occasional adventure isekai. Similar to Cooking with Wild Game, though I didn't actually enjoy that one. The MC ends up attracting a legendy beast (fenrir) with the smell of his cooking right near the beginning, and it kind of goes from there. (Short break)
-
Economics of Prophecy Has a lot of economics, runs in a somewhat similar vein to bookworm, though more difficult to follow. (caught up)
-
By the Grace of the Gods Slice-of-life isekai. Not really sure how to describe it.
-
-
@piisfun Are these your recommendation? How come the comments you add to each series feels like a warning to readers, don't read this :p
-
@crowdcontrol No real response to that. I am just really bad with descriptions.
-
@piisfun I think a rating is better than giving each series a warning message.
"little weird to follow sometimes", "acquired taste," " I didn't actually enjoy that one", "difficult to follow" -
@LIbri-Liberorum I like Tearmoon too but I think the single joke the series runs with (Mia is completely different from how people see her) is beginning to wear thin. Would love to see Mia develop more as a character by getting another mental future, bloody diary or something.
Must give Altina a try so.
