      I would love for J-Novel to pick this one up. Apothecary Diaries is one of my favorite LNs and I want to read more of Natsu Hyuga's works. I've been reading The Failure at God School manga as it gets published in English and really like the story so far. I'd love to read the LN version.

      Basically, I need more of this man god.

      I have a better chance having a solution at JNovel than Facebook or BlueSky.

      Even here I have a better chance to know where the file with the logo is on Android and how (or if) I can change it.

      And anyway it's up to JNovel's, not you or me.

      Ah, if it's DVDs, then I can't buy them. I don't have an all-region Blu ray player and I don't want to buy one. So any DVDs I buy would be locked out of my region. I'm in the same region for Blu ray as the US but a different region for DVDs.

      @Project_Demise I might rather want more 異世界のんびり農家, also known as Farming Life in Another World. Flung into a New World? Time to Lift the 200-Year Curse! feels very similar to that, but both novels have quite the problem they become rather uninteresting after the 150th / 200th chapters.

      They are still very light entertainment, so there is surely nothing wrong about them, it just hurts when they turn out so dissapointing after having supported them for so long.

      @Musereader while it is not a Japanese one, I feel like Max Brooks' World War Z deserves a special recommendation. It is equally easy to read like a light novel. Just make no mistake to think of the movie, as the movie cannot be compared to the masterpiece of the novel.

      It is basically a collection of reports regarding the world's efforts against a zombie outbreak which I consider most vivid / realistic writing which is also fun.

      This just in case you are still looking for something worth your time reading in the form of diary/newspaper reports etc.

      @Sleepyfoxy said in New WebNovel:

      I’m a new author and I’ve just started working on my first story. I’d really love some feedback on the synopsis to see if it sounds interesting!

      -"The Weight of What If"
      "What if every choice you never made haunted you?"

      Ardyn Veythar is cursed with the ultimate power—the ability to see every "what if."

      What if he had stayed to fight instead of running?

      What if he had shown mercy instead of becoming a tyrant?

      What if he had died a hero instead of living long enough to forget his own name?

      The Paradox Sovereign grants him mastery over fractured time—but at a terrible cost. Every unlived life, every abandoned future, claws at his mind like a starving beast. The world bends unnaturally around him; people’s memories shift when he speaks, his very presence unraveling the seams of reality.

      Now, as the last remnants of a dying world crumble—the angel-sustained paradise, the god-corpses buried beneath the ice, the obelisks holding back the void—Ardyn faces the cruelest truth of all:

      Infinite possibilities, and none of them bring her back.

      Can a man who has lived a thousand lives ever find one where he isn’t alone? Or is peace the one path even the Paradox Sovereign cannot reach?

      From my personal point of view: not interesting.

      The power is on the one hand too strong, on the other too unrealistic. With people "understanding" more and more the "results" of having infinite possibilities it becomes more and more clear that you cannot make a good story about it. Best examples you can take from Rick & Morty which works great because of the non-canonical-stuff plus the fact how the canon stuff is strongly limited.

      You can basically continously switch premises without worries and it either turns out weird and funny or just meaningless - and the show is pointing that in great ways.

      A hero with that premises therefore will have very similar issues in story presentation and exploration. The best you can do is taking inspiration from the game The Alters. And even there you can tell how it can work and no work.

      Such a "protagonist" you thinking of will never make the cut to be a protagonist and end up more likely like Caspar at the End of Time for obvious reasons.

      This is the feedback upon your synopsis. Feedback regarding authorwise I would recommend to review the vision you have, what story you actually want to tell. The synopsis is a paradox itself, which is a niche gimmick not many will appreciate.

      Overall it is lacking vision to a proper endgame and rather gets shot off right away. From a light novel perspective the core sounds like you want to get something close to The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior yet not the same. But without an interesting hook, you end up like Caspar.

      @Tahu Missing the option of It depends if it's well written (and well translated) you've still got a good if incomplete story. As Terry Pratchett observed where a story starts or finishes is all up to the observer.

      @Serah - It's definitely a fun one and more creative than a lot of the generic isekai stuff.

      The MC reminds me a bit of Erich from JNC's TRPG in his desire to enjoy his new life more than to be conventionally successful. Staying true to his desires wins out over normal or easy every time.

      I have no issues with using the app on my fire tablet. Typing this up right now. However, I did install the play store using some application on my computer when I first got my tablet. That way I could load the j-novel app without side loading. Pretty sure it has never prevented updates from Amazon either.

      I've never read it myself, but I believe the Gamearth trilogy from 1989 to 1990 has similar themes -- and some charming covers...
