The manga adaptation (https://www.ganganonline.com/contents/erisu/) is impressive because unlike most monthly manga which have around 24 pages or even less, it has 40+ pages.

Always down for some time travel romance. Bought all 5 of the volumes out.

I love reading this manga. I would add this to my reading list hands down

@Zing said in 29-Years-Old Bachelor Was… Brought to a Different World to Live Freely: Oddly enough NU is listing this novel as licensed but I cant find any information about it anywhere on the internet. Is it true, has this been finally liensed? I don't recall seeing this title licensed, and looking at the page on NU I see it's also marked as completely translated when it's clearly not. Someone must have been messing around.

One of the OG, yeah. No Reincarnation / Otome game, but it seems to be the progenitor of the modern Villainess sub-genre. Released in Web Novel form in 2012, two years earlier than Bakarina from what I could tell. https://ncode.syosetu.com/n6169bb/

This sounds really fun, I'm getting spy thriller vibes from the description of undercover missions. I would love to be able to read this.

Having just read the Manga I want this even more now😁

Similar to the Girl Who Ate a Death God, this is a dark fantasy story that is more gritty and complex than most LN fair. It's one of the better LN I've read and it would be nice to see it get a proper adaption. This is the sort of story that might appeal to people who like stuff like Overlord where morality comes in shades of grey and there is a lot of emphasis on big picture political struggles as seen through the lens of the character's perspective, large scale war and complex world building.

Sounds like a good read and I like that it’s a duology.

I've read some of the manga of this one and found it very interesting but I'd like to be able to read the original novels if possible and would purchase them if they were licensed. In what I've read of the manga so far, it suggests a darker purpose behind the sacrifices and I'm curious what that leads to.

Found this a few days ago and enjoyed immensely the 100 odd translated web novel chapters. It is a mixture of elements from Pacific Rim, Gate, Grimgar, fantasy and apocalypse. One day, for no reason, monsters start to appear in the world. Whomever kill monsters, can gain experience, jobs and skills. Electricity, internet, phones, civilisation as we know it is gone. The world is overwhelmed in matter of hours by randomly spawning monsters. The story revolves around Kazuto and his struggle to survive using his wits. From time to time, we get POV of other survivors, but most of them has a very short life expectancy. I never felt bored while reading it, writer knows how to build suspense and keep the character on their toes. The side characters has enough depth to them to make you as a reader, root for their survival. However, the story is very cruel and gives off the feeling like you are witnessing the last days of mankind as they get eaten, mutilated and destroyed by monsters. There is 100 odd translated web novel chapters, go read it yourself. Kazuto abusing Item Box for all its worth by squashing monsters with heavy machinery never gets old. Spoilers for why monsters has appeared spoiler

I've heard that the anime followed the manga fairly well, they probably missed some side stories due to time constraints, probably more in the www.working!! as it only had 1 season to cover 6 volumes while working!! got 3 seasons to cover 13.

Just a heads up that Earth Star might be circling the drain so someone should clean them out of their completed series before they're lost.

I've been rewatching the anime, and it's a lot better than I remember! Now I really want to read the novel.

I'd totally love for this to get licensed. You should tag it with Complete. :3 We need more actually completed series to get licensed considering how often we're starting to get burned with stalled/cancelled series.
