@Zing i would love to read the novel ...hope u can get it

@zing Thanks for the info. I would like to see this licensed in future, since it looks like an enjoyable read.

Oh, I didn't realize there was a suggestion topic. +1 +1 here.

I was reading the manga when it was getting translated, many web novels and manga were starting to get translated during that time with the theme of the MC getting kicked out of the hero’s party. There were a lot of titles that are being translated and already were or aren’t, there was the defect healer, a necromancer girl, a warrior called a false hero, a mage with a guide book, a guy with a repair skill, a girl with an inverse skill, a guy who runs a herb store and is the older brother of the hero, a middle-aged man who had his adventurer license revoked while traveling with his daughter, etc.

so he's 39 +/- and she's 17 I guess that's not creepy in the setting - but would be in modern USA Scenario reminds me of: The Door into Summer, classic but not great sci-fi I still want to read this

Didn't catch this thread the last time through, but don't really get a chance to scan the forums as much as I'd like. On this, I'd have to say something of a variation from the story. I don't want it to be a spoiler, but it's nice if it can at least fit current events. Having said that, most of the images which have a lasting effect on me from light novels are those which are used for character introductions/additions. As I'm reading, I like having at least a face to attach to who I'm reading about. Especially in stories like Rokujouma, where there are an infinite number of characters, or Smartphone, where the wives-to-be and their families to keep track of, having a visualization of new characters in the opening art are probably those which I most appreciate. In volumes which include these, I tend to check them several times.

Oh god! I watched two episodes on Crunchyroll a few months ago and dropped it instantly afterward.

There was a story I have had in my head for nearly my whole life. Ever since I was like 3 I had a story idea that was basically an Isekai. A guy who on his sleep is in a fantasy world with knights, magic, and dragons; while he sleeps in the fantasy world he is in the "real world." I put real world I quotes because the real world was basically a sci-fi world like our own but the main difference was everyone had a chip Implant that served as a TV, computer, and telephone in one where you can have an imaginary screen pop up in front of you and play Mario or metroid or something. Well basically the real world was like Accel world and the fantasy world was like any other fantasy world. Edit: I have added way more over the years.

I've actually brainwashed my twin boys (not-identical). They both love the idea of reading. When they were learning to crawl, I would read books with me and the book on the floor a couple feet in front of them to encourage them to start crawling. They were extremely curious about what was keeping my attention. We would read stories to them almost every single night before bedtime (punishment for extremely bad behavior was having the story time taken away). My biggest tool I used to brainwash the kids was the concept that "people seek to confirm that which they already believe". I talked about how great school was and told hem what they would be able to do when they learned to read and do math. I got them excited about things like pen and paper role-playing games and more. One kid I was a little too successful at brainwashing, when I told him how long Christmas break was he started crying. When Valentines Day came around the teacher had him fill out a card that had "love is" printed on it he wrote "scool" [sic]. He just got out of kindergarten and two days ago I asked him how he liked his summer break; he said "I don't. I hate breaks." The kid has already read three of the five books from the Prydain Chronicles on his own without help (AKA The Black Cauldron series). I didn't read that series on my own until I was well into first grade. My other son has struggled a little more but seems to be doing much better after he finished the summer reading class we put him in. Back on topic though, I prefer light novels over manga. I would rather read the light novel before watching the Anime or read the manga.

With the premium epubs for 6$, you'll get the bonus stories and no drm. Right now Amazon is doing a sale on Dendrogram volume 1 kindle (may not apply for all countries) for 2.49 if budget is more important to you.

@guspaz we can have Both at the beginning (at there weakest), both at a sort of "Standard" power and both at their most powerful. Also, it is stated that Azusa still gets experience so she still may get stronger

@terrence totally agree, specially with the Grimgar stuff you said. But imo I don’t mind fight scenes tbh, that is unless you know the mc is op and has almost no way of losing. That’s when it turns boring to me.

@drone205 My personal favorite SAO variation is "Kirito missed that Ragout Rabbit". Talk about a game changer.

The Save / Load "cheat" I mentioned earlier, I found the LN I was actually thinking about. It is on Syosetu. It has a manga adaptation on Bookwalker too. 「俺の現実は恋愛ゲーム？？　～かと思ったら命がけのゲームだった～」読んだ！ https://ncode.syosetu.com/n4565dq/ #narou #narouN4565DQ "Is my reality a love game? What? ~ I thought it was a life-saving game ~" The other WN mentions the possibility of taking lecherous action before the dude decides he's too kind to do that, but this LN / manga protag actually does cross that line. I don't know how I feel about that (kind of hoping he suffers karmically really badly later in this story for his actions). xC
