@terrence Back at you!

I want all of these!

@terabyte said in Novel pick-up requests:

lol

While I've seen some of those and know the titles, I haven't seen others. At least add a title guys :P

I'll try, but I'm just using Bookwalker to find em.. and some of the titles are very broken when translated. =(

For Drone's, I know Chivalry of a Failed Knight, I've seen the Mecha one on the bottom (would love it, but I think it's Kadokawa like a lot of stuff). Other one I gotta check too.

Edit 2: The bottom one has Ecstas Online in English on it. The top one has a romaji title on the cover.

@Terabyte Honestly, I barely skim this topic these days, it's just a pastebin for LN covers now.

I put links to the store pages for every single one of mine these days.

But we're just having fun with red heads, yes. =P

Edit: Added "titles" (Google really struggling).

@terrence Maybe the thread is just evolving to a different form, but I liked it more when it was people posting their own blurbs on why a series is good. The majority of screen real estate in this topic is now occupied by giant pictures and white space. You've also admitted that you haven't even read most of these books, you're just posting them for posterity I guess? But then there's no discussion. Again, maybe this is just what this thread is becoming, but I don't have to like it.

@myskaros for what it’s worth every light novel I have previously suggested I have never read before, that’s cause I don’t read fan translations.

Based off of the cover and a synopsis, and whether it had an anime, or a licensed manga adaptation is what goes into me deciding if I want it or not. If I read the story already it would have been licensed by now Andy I wouldn’t have had to request it.

@myskaros I still try to give information on what I know about the series, and why I like it.

Drone205

@myskaros Just having fun with the Red Handedness as @Terrence said. out of the recent ones I posted "Chivalry of a Failed Knight" and "Listen to me girls, I am your Father." I said why for Chivalry some time ago but it is because there is actually a relationship that goes places. and For the Father one, I have seen a bit of the Anime and It looks like it can tell a really good story, with the struggle of poverty, and single Guardianship.

Edit: It also depends on how much time I have at the moment of posting the recommendations and how tired or lack of I am.

@rahul-balaggan That's fair, but you're also not posting images in bulk every other day. Again, I'm trying to be cognizant that (I think?) I'm the only person who's complained so if the community is fine with it, then I will continue to just mostly ignore this topic.

@Drone205 Yeah, didn't intend to point fingers at you, it's just a situation that's been going on for a while now and Terabyte happened to post something where I got a little dig in.

To reiterate for everyone's sake, I am aware that I am just one-sidedly resenting @Terrence's style of posts. I complained once or twice but no one else seemed to have any problem with it, so I just kind of avoid this topic now. I apologize for sowing any seeds of drama.

EDIT: To be completely fair to Terrence, I think my memories are also exaggerating the situation quite a bit, as I just browsed the past dozen or so pages and it's not nearly as "bad" as my brain made me think it was >_> so I'll just be over here in the corner, experiencing my mental acuity drop by the second.

Terrence

I kind of like avoiding synopses, because I like to go in blind sometimes (of course, there are exceptions; if the title doesn't translate well, and there's no color inserts, then I gotta look at the synopsis).

But yeah, I have been putting the links lately since you said something so that at least you have the ability to find the info (gonna need Google Translate in your browser though if you want a broken machine translated title or synopsis).

Terrence

I'm probably Late to the Party with this, but is anyone interested in / can vouch for Dance With The Dragons? Anytime I see an anime, I try to find out if it is a light novel property these days, and then I don't watch it in hopes they'll localize it (which is probably a bad way to show interest, but hey, I don't want to ruin my LN reading experience).

Those aren't even available to purchase off Bookwalker if you live in the West (it doesn't even let you go to the store page on mobile). =[

@terrence The only Dance with Dragons I know is the fifth installment of A Song of Ice and Fire, but I don't think that's what you're referring to ^^U

Here's the anime preview, ha ha.

And the light novel.

@terrence hmmm, didn't know that one was up for the next season. Looks sick, but I'm always afraid those overly serious-looking series might devolve into cringey edgyness.

Xftg123

Its also from the same illustrator who worked on "Rokka No Yuusha".

But yeah, the series "Sareyuu" is quite long, there's about 20-plus volumes and counting

Hentai Ōji to Warawanai Neko is one of my suggestions, especially that is series has just completed with 12 volumes. This title is published by Media Factory of Kadogawa.

Theo

J-Novel should work with Kadokawa, since they control around 45% of LN publishing.

I'm sure they would if they could. I do wonder if the all-digital model holds back that partnership from happening? Kadokawa has so many different titles and labels, it'd be great to get anything from them.

As an aside, on the Curiosity Cat someone was asking about how One Peace managed to get the Shield Hero content from them. Certainly interesting how a smaller pub in the LN scene was able to do that.

Rahul Balaggan

@terrence for what it’s worth Shield Hero was acquired before the 51% purchase of Yen Press

Rahul Balaggan

@theo yes i am sure 100% of all users agree, however if it were that easy it would have been done.
