      Well, I guess I am here to suggest too~

      Kamisuki Tooru no Kegare Naki Sekai & Sosogi Sayoko no Yomigaeru Sekai

      alt text alt text

      Publisher: Kodansha LIGHTNOVEL
      Author: Noboroo Ishikawa
      Illustrator: Nonono

      Heard great things about them so, I wanna read them myself (Romcom, Family Drama and Fantasy all mixed up together...or that's what I heard)

      -----------------

      Kimi ni Koi wo Suru Nante, Arienai Hazu Datta
      alt text

      Author: Katsura Ikada
      Publisher: Takarajimasha Bunko

      Synopsis:
      A plain guy who attends a prefectural high school in Minamisou in the Chiba prefecture, Iijima Yasuki, lived through gray days in his Science class.

      Despite this, on the last night of the study training camp just before summer vacation, he helped the school’s number one beauty, Kitaoka Ema, when she was in trouble.

      Now for some reason Ema has become pleased with him. However, she only talks to him outside of school. In the classroom she pretends not to know him.

      Just what is Ema thinking?

      There is a hierarchy in the school, with a disparity between a plain-type glasses boy and a flashy-type girl.

      Two existences that were supposed to run counter to each other; a passing love story.

      I really like this one

      Publisher: AlphaPolis Bunko (AlphaPolis)
      -----------------
      Well, I am really curious about this one

      Seishun Zettai Tsubusuman na Ore ni Sukuihairanai.

      It looks like Oregairu, It's from the same publisher.
      Cover structure is way too similar to be coincidence so, I wonder how it is related to Oregairu.

        Maou na Anoko to Murabito A

        Publisher: Dengeki Bunko

        Completed at 11 Volumes

        It's a cute as fuck romcom about a normal human and a girl with the "role" of Demon Lord. The way the world works in the series is that there are people born with archetypes which are going to get sent to another world to fulfill their roles. This includes stuff like Demon Lords, Heroes, Necromancers, Mages, and so on. Normal people without "roles" are known as Villagers because they don't really have to worry about getting sent to another world to fulfill some destiny. Those with "roles" are known as "Personas" which are pretty much fancy words for Chuunis. The series is about the protagonist getting close to a girl with a role of Demon Lord while his childhood friend with the Hero role gets jealous. It's a cute romcom with a Demon Lord Girl who's idea of destroying humanity involves a 20 year plan to increase obesity.

        From the 15/16 chapters of the manga adaptation scanlated (dead project sadly), it's pretty cute as fuck and really makes me want to read the Light Novel.

            Actually, this sounds really interesting.
            (Even if it turns gay at the end, it sounds interesting)

              Even Posing as A Hero is Easy would be my suggestion. It's new. Only a single volume
              I believe you could keep up with the title as it grows in popularity.

                @bloodygaikotsu I heard (well, read) the one that looks like a rip of Oregairu is a parody of it & apparently pretty funny (though that's very subjective of course)

                The nerdy boy/popular girl one sounds interesting to me.

                @Aruseus493 that chunni type one sounds bloody awesome!

                  That makes me even more interested in it (the so-called Oregairu rip-off).
                  I checked the reviews on Amazon Japan (with some help of Google Translation), some enjoyed it more than Oregairu and some just couldn't finish the book and some kept comparing the MCs...

                      @cleveravi Yeah, I've read that one. The WN has been translated almost completely, I think only 5-6 chapters remain.

                        It's time for J-Novel Club to compete with Yen Press on comedy. I present Kono Sekai ga Game da to Ore dake ga Shitteiru which is a comedy series on par with KonoSuba in both style and hilarity.

                        Publisher: Enterbrain

                        Status: Ongoing (8/9 Volumes)

                        The premise of the series is that the protagonist is a cult game fanatic who plays what might be regarded the world's most buggiest VR game, Nekomimi Neko Offline. When he's suddenly cursed, he's sent to another world based off this game. With no way to log-out, he now has to set his sight on beating the game without dying. In a messed up game, the protagonist meets various characters and exploits his way to strength. Some aspects include a heroine that summons monster trains, skill leveling by bashing your head, and being called disgusting using broken skills.

                        Only one volume was ever fan-translated sadly and it's being translated by Nano Desu which means we can't expect more than one volume every 3 years if that. So I'd love it if J-Novel Club would license this series.

                            @aruseus493 that does indeed sound KonoSuba tier of hillarious, I second this.

                              It sounds like a cool read
                              For me, the comedy that I really want is

                                      please, no yanderes, please. I’ve already read a few chapters from 3 WN series including yanderes, and can’t get into those stories with obsessive psychopaths with their deranged affection.

                                        Yanderes? I'm always down for yanderes. They make any story better.

                                          I would like to request Chrome Shelled Regios and the Fate Zero novels. Both are finished products in Japan and have had anime adaptations. Fate Zero is pretty well know and is a head scratcher that is it not licensed yet. Chrome Shelled Regios is a great sci-fi light novel series which deserves a English release and is one of my favorite light novel series.
