sounds like could be fun also in a genre different than anything else JNC seems to currently have in the lineup also Kiyotaka Haimura also compete w/ 9 volumes (some meat to it) * anyone know if "complete" means a series with an "ending" or one that just has no more to be published ?

HOw do we know she was falsly accused. Seems to me she could have set herself up.

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.

I've read this one and it's really quite good. It's a dark, low fantasy war story told from the villain or anti-hero's perspective. When I say low fantasy setting I'm referring to stuff like Game of Thrones where there certainly are serious fantasy and supernatural elements, but they are mysterious forces beyond what is seen in common everyday life, the stuff of myths and legends. The fantasy is well grounded and depicted in a much more gritty and realistic light than a high fantasy story where you could wake up as like a God one day and then walk down the street and buy a burger from a lizard man. It has more mature themes and morally grey perspectives than you generally see in a LN. It's not an isekai. I think perhaps the sort of people who liked Overlord or GOT might like this LN.

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.

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.

Spotlight time! A friendly bump to an older post that hasn't had any recent conversation and is lower on votes in order to draw attention to it.

The anime is really good but even thou it was mostly in vampires perspective it did nothing but make them more detestable.

Damn how did i miss that suggestion, it look great. Well at least if they got the science right, otherwised it can quickly become very cringy.

@terrence said in Kujonin (Exterminator): The 10th volume is the final volume. Series is complete. Oh interesting. Maybe it's gonna have some more chances to get licensed since it's "only" 10 volumes and it's already complete. @TheRedJet Could you update the first post and maybe add some tags to the topic (especially the "complete" tag)?

@ahoffmaster3954 I personally don't see it as very likely, older series don't seem to do very well here and I don't remember this series being very popular when it first aired.

@CaramelWithoutTheSalt I must’ve just missed the flood of high school rom coms ...I admit some of my favorite anime are but I just don’t seem to encounter LNs that are. Maybe because lately most of my consumption is via JNC and they don’t have any in this genre. I’ve upvoted most suggested titles in this genre, 13 volumes and complete makes this even more attractive. spoiler

I think we’re getting too far into the weeds about the topic. I don’t know about the economics of translation/ publication of the entire series. I would like to see it in print. I would like to encourage publishers to take on longer series and I am a fan of Zero. Heck I’d be super happy if JNC published (only) the memorial volume or an omnibus of the side stories or whatever.

Huge fan of this series I'd love to read it from you, and buy it.

You had me already by the author. I LOVE both Erin and Moribito, so upvote
