@shiroi-hane not necessarily. as i said, ive seen many light novels not have a release at all throughout 2020, and only released a volume rather recently this year; probably because of that thing that prevented lots of people from working for an entire year. as such, i have full faith that this story, too, will continue on soon enough

As a physician this would be an instant buy, if anything just to see how a novelist tackles this moral dilemma.

Heard that the nareator was like a tribute to Zaregoto.

has potential....what is HER 'deal"? did she mistake him for someone else (is she really being stalked? or is she paranoid? ) what will the police do when the see the creepy artwork in his apartment? (serial killer much?)

what will happen with their relationship after the awkward introduction?

@bloodygaikotsu said in Despera:

Ain is particularly uncomfortable of Barbara's presence as she is frightened of her pale white complexion, presumably having never seen a Russian before.

Well, yeah, just like the author if he seriously names his russian character BARBARA ANDREI. Though, admittedly, at least it looks like a name, she could have very well been called Elektrichka Sapsan like that poor girl from Pretty Cation.

Updated it and added both of his licensed works

It's spotlight time and I'm not sure what else to say—so I decided to share some screenshots of the manga adaptation and some various reviews of the novel and the manga:

Actually, I don't really discern much between LN and general literature.
A lot of old LNs are sold or rebranded as non-LN title now.
There's this new medium in the gray area called "light bungei" as well.
So I just lump them all together as Japanese literature (even if some complain about how LN can be literature, I just use the term "pop literature" lol)
