Novel pick-up requests
-
@Hakomari ahh Hiratsuka Sensei for the win!! Even though I know they won't get together, I soo ship them!! My second would be Yukino... But Saki is my favorite girl, but that doesn't mean I ship her with Hachiman(Can you ship a fictional character with yourself? Lol). She doesn't get much screen time in the anime though... I'm currently reading volume 8
PS: I also have the first volume of Yen Press xD. They're so slow!!
-
@Terrence I talk about true harem, where all girls win actually. (Magika no Kenshi, etc)
I am a bit tired of this classic romance novels. There is often more drama like in harem one. Arifureta is nice one harem too. There can be a lot of novels with harem tag but not much with true harem ending.And about My love comedy - sensei and yukino best girls. (Up to date vol 11)
One thing that makes me sad, there is still no news from Black Bullet author about vol 8
-
They look kinda reverse-haremish. I haven't read any of their stuff yet, do you know if the translation quality is good?
-
Sensei and Yukino <3
You won't believe how much Yukino and Hachiman fanart I have xD
Yeah and I understand what type of harem you want. You want a polygamy ending, like the one Magika no Kenshi, Arifureta and High School DxD will get.
A certain LN has also polygamy ending :
PS: I also have the first volume of Yen Press xD. They're so slow!!
I know... They delayed the second volume once... And Where my Hakomari at Yen Press? Or should I say Delay Press?
You can actually take the Hiratsuka Sensei route in the VN btw.
-
@Hakomari yep I finished wn of Mushoku and it is called true harem ending :D
But I agree, Yukino and Sensei are best.I like some dark WN/LN too, for example Fremd Torturchen or Kuro no Maou.
But YP makes me angry a bit with Re: Zero, Mahouka, SAO, etc... it just will take years till they will reach volumes from this year.
After vol 10 I believe that Shinmai will make true harem ending too. But for me is Chisato best girl!
-
Nah, WN-reader here. Pretty sure it will be polygamy ending with Rem and Emilia or just Emilia. Like come on the guy even says he wants both of them. And there are more Emilia fans than you think. We Rem fags are just too noisy xD
Well, besides being a fan favorite, Yukino actually has a need of Hachiman. They complete each other in a way Yuigahama can't. Yukino's character is also more developed than Yuigahama.
-
@Hakomari pff Rem best girl indeed. But I will be happy for Emilia + Rem combo ending! :D
-
A few of the J-Novel Club Harems that take place in Isekai mention polygamy being a thing in their narratives. So that'll at least be a temptation for them.
This conversation is getting a bit dangerous though. Knowing or having even a hint of someone definitely winning a ship is dangerous for my reading pleasure. Even if the odds are stacked against my choice. x)
Some of my favorite winning ships of all time are:
Ever17
Steins;Gate
Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers
White Album 2 (one pairing definitely gets the more dramatic / "I love you" end even if left unresolved for the latter half)
Virtue's Last Reward (if that even counts)
Shuffle AnimeOf course, I won't spoil who ships with whom outside of tags. You can get a general sense for what I like in a ship though. Bit of surprise romantic development, female characters that are a bit Kudere or Tsundere at first before becoming Deredere, mature / dark characters who win out over more cutesy designs or pushed cover protagonists (whether there's an actual triangle or those cover characters are just independent from the main character's love interests), etc. =)
-
@Terrence Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers really? do you know what happen later? :D
-
@Hakomari about Hakomari... Yen Press licensed it just a few days before I downloaded all the Volumes (Fan translation). So now I'm just here with all the 7 volumes in pdf, but I haven't started reading them... But I'm a good guy(hah) so I'll still buy Yen Press' versions

@sparhawk6 This is what I'm talking about here:

Be careful with those hints dudes.
-
Their releases are so slow that I will probably be fluent in Japanese before they have even published all the currently available volumes of Re: Zero.
I like Dark stories as well, especially those where the main character suffers a lot (what I like to call 'suffer porn'). My favorites would be Berserk manga and Hakomari(check the username xD ) LNs. Both traumatised me a bit though. I am overall a fan of grimdark/ high fantasy novels having read "A song of Ice and Fire" and other western novels as well.
-
@Terrence Well, Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers is a bit different, but don´t worry, I will not spoil you. But it is nice LN.
@Hakomari hmm try Pure Love x Insult, if you don´t know it, it is a bit ( a bit moreee) hentai, but story is really good. :D (Raws over 1600 chapters and chapters are not short, translated is 171 atm) -
I live for being blindsided by romantic betrayal, death, someone else winning someone's heart later on, my ship sailing, whatever happens. =D
Now I'm guessing with the hint that Rokka going forward to volume 2+
(ROKKA: Braves of Six Flowers spoiler guess?)
I should have put volume 1 / anime down to be fair. xC
-
Good job. I have them in pdf as well. But I will buy the Yen Press translations anyway cause I want them in print. Probably gonna import the originals soon as well. A huge fan of the LN series. Went in expecting a high school drama, got one of the most mature stories I have read with a bit physiological horror on the side. I won't spoil anything but it has the best conclusion I have read to a story. About half of the last volume was the epilogue so the author really tied up all the loose ends.
@sparhawk6 Oh, I think you misunderstood me. Should have clarified that I can't really handle rape in a story (I know I am mess for someone who likes dark stories).
Yeah, Isekai Smartphone and Arifureta are definitely going polygamy route. I am 100% certain that The Faraway Paladin won't, seeing how the author goes against every common isekai trope.
-
@Terrence I am up to vol 6. And I must say, that story is not bad, but there is a lot of drama.
@Hakomari Well, I am the same, I hate rape topic in LN/WN. But, this WN is only one case where I try overlook it, and it was worth. I actually stop read a few of WN/LN after I hear that there was rape later.
And Arifureta harem is pretty good! -
@sparhawk6 Are there more volumes to go after that? I'm really looking forward to diving deeper past the anime. =)
-
@Terrence Yeah, it have 6 vol and it is ongoing. But, well, vol 6 was released last year in July I think.
-
Yeah, Isekai Smartphone...
What about Realist Hero (no spoilers past V1 if you know for certain, just what do you get the sense of if you don't know)? That and Isekai were the two I thought of. I feel like RH could go 50/50, though since the previous king was only married to one woman, maybe the main character will follow his example.
I can't remember if polygamy is a thing in Mixed Bathing's World? He doesn't seem too interested in actual romance with multiple women anyway, just sharing a bathtub (again, no spoilers, I'm up past volume 2). xD
-
I might give it a chance then. I just see rape as a cheap way for making the story dark. There are so many other ways of achieving a dark story without having the main heroine get raped.
