Novel pick-up requests

OT: There are plenty of books and plays considered classic pieces of art that one could see as trash.
A lot of late 1800s-early 1900s works are littered with racism, such as anti-semetism. Shakespeare works had potty humor and relationship stuff that isn't too far from light novel tropes. Maybe there's still some high brow "art" inbetween these issues, but I would never teach these stories as if they deserve to be preserved on a pedestal, incapable of being criticised and the writer's genius being questioned.
Heck, I've seen pieces of literal trash at MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) called art. xD

@the-green-death for the record, I was just joking with that line about being offended. After reading your answer I'm not sure if it came across so I just wanted to make sure it did.
I don't really hate AW, it just baffles me how it got picked up when it had a clear contender in the same genre during the same season with so many qualities that outshone it by far from a story-telling standpoint. Heck, even the fanservice was better xD.

@terrence @Aruseus493 I strongly believe that if Siskan gets a physical release, some day in the future, it will be part of an exposition in the Louvre. IT WILL HAPPEN.
-
@aruseus493 Sure there’s always that possibility and when that happens I’m sure there will be rabid debates about which color of panty is the appropriate to flash to the blood related older brother.
-
@the-green-death Amateur, it'll always be blue and white striped panties.
-
@aruseus493 White panties with the face of a 🐻 on the front are the only way to go! All other viewpoints are abomination. Or as it might be written in Siskan ▽< (@*@) > ¥

Shimapan vs. Kumapan. Now this battle is worth the world's attention.

Magic Bullet in the Magical Land (魔法の国の魔弾) looks very nice (and badass). At least first 20 chapters of Web Novel are amazing. I bet Light Novel will be even more amazing. So far 4 volumes of Light Novel are released. Long story short: MC played VRMMO (looks like a top player, idk), suddenly got transferred into another world in the middle of nowhere, traveled to find nearest village just to find out that soldiers execute people with animal ears, got mad, nailed them with 7.62mm to head. MC kept his abilities from VRMMO not only weapons and armors, also supply drops, air strikes, machine gun turrets, mines (Claymore mines for ambushing are FTW), explosives & etc. Unlike Manuke FPS, here MC can share his weapons & stuff with others, which makes this LN is even more epic.
Some covers & images:
Anyway, it will be great to see it coming to J-Novel.

listen to me, girls. I am your father!
NU Synopsis:

Now, his six-tatami mat apartment not just has to accommodate himself, but 14-year old Sora, 10-year old Miu, and 3-year old Hina. What will be the fate of Yuuta? -
The reason we can't see any JNC release of a Shogakukan title any time soon

I'm requesting a few pick up's
Assassins Pride by Kei Amagi
Maken no Daydreamer by Alpha Polis
Magi’s Grandson by Yoshioka Tsuyoshi
in said priority order ;P -
@dj-johnson Assassins Pride was on my Seven Seas survey. That one looks really interesting.
-
@bloodygaikotsu Yep, people who make dumb decisions are everywhere...
-
This series looks a bit intelligent. Complex math. 😅

New theme (if you so choose to participate): "Unnatural Hair Colors".
You can debate if bleached "blonde" hair on a Japanese character is technically unnatural, but for me, I'm looking more at purples, pinks, blues, greens, and the like.
Here's some fun ones:
"A rescue warrior of a different world"
https://bookwalker.jp/de769137a7-13fe-4f55-8128-293d0a8cf3a5/?acode=WpfPW3yk
This one has a green haired maid as the female lead next to the male counterpart. They're the two characters that appear on every cover. It's nice to have green haired leads. Story sounds like it's about a dude in an Isekai trying to live peacefully before a God makes him be a Brave to vanquish evil.

@terrence Omae wo Onii-chan ni Shite Yarouka!?
look at all those different colours!
One day, Yoichi who grew up while not knowing his parents, received the news of his father's death. His father left behind a testament——which said he is to pick only one out of five 'little sister candidates'?!
"...I don't want to work, I want to laze around together with Onii-chan." (By Selene)
"Let's have a match! If I win, Nii-chan will... make me his little sister!" (By Tomomi)
"Onii-sama will choose me, isn't that right? It's our destiny." (By Sayuri)
"To become a girl, that's why I want to be Nii-san's little sister!" (By Yuuki)
"If Mii-chan becomes Nii-chama's little sister, she will become rich right?" (By Mika)
The little sisters who were presented to him had more than one or two odd quirks, a slapstick comedy between siblings starts here! -

look at all those different colours!Kawaii (if this is romance, and he chooses yellow or black, he has failed the human race!).
-
@terrence They are Little Sister Candidates I believe.
Witch Sister would you choose?

Ah, so it is a romance story then. xD

I know nothing about them... But red probably has a good personality. x)

Implying the harem isn't the right/best/only choice.
I'll hop in on the theme. I keep wanting to request stuff I've requested before! Arrgh~ The only solution is for @Sam-Pinansky to license all the stuff we've previously requested. Like:
- Altina the Sword Princess - MC has dark green hair while main heroine Altina has red.
- Combatants Will Be Dispatched! - From the author of KonoSuba comes a Sci-fi x Fantasy with a Silver-Haired Girl on the first volume's cover.
- Fire Girl - Completed series from one of the writers of Type-Moon. Protagonist is a Pink-Haired Genki Character and it's a great "adventure" series in the classic aspect of not knowing about this new world. It's another kind of Isekai where they travel to another world via teleportation while trying to establish themselves there although it's all for school. Another character has silver hair, then there's the brown/blonde and regular blondes. Also Yamato Nadeshiko Purple.
Can't remember if I requested this one yet. I probably have, but I can't remember for sure.
Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii?
Publisher: Hobby Japan (Right up Sam's Alley)
Zagan is a mage that lives a pretty boring life of kicking away intruders regularly. That is until he gets pulled to an auction by his friend and falls in love at first sight with a rare silver-haired elf. Spending all his money to purchase her, it's only then he realizes that he has no idea how to communicate with her. It's a fluffy/action series of a mage and his Elf slave that he wants to confess to but is too shy.
The heroine is silver-haired and there are other characters. Such as a Pink Haired Holy Knight, a purple haired mage, and a blonde winged person.
