I'd love to see Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita get picked up.
I'm currently rewatching the anime and almost forgot how enjoyable it was.

Eternal Wanderer

@roland I second this one, I would love to read the original books.

Just going to put these 2 novels here as I got teased by fan translations that were abandoned due to real life.

I want:

I Reincarnated into an Otome Game as a Villainess With Only Destruction Flags.

😂

Here's the cover if it works

Cynigami

@terrence Steiner would like this one.

sparhawk6

@aruseus493 Yeah, also how Mileidy ask him to join but he refuses on the start, I did read that short synopsis.
Also, there is not many choices for that secret project, so we will see in winter

Here I am popping up again out of seemingly no where.

Reflecting on my previous post.. I'm not sure that looking at existing translations is as much help as I thought since a lot of them are really bad and my last suggestion was pretty much also the first I encountered with at least average English writing, which might be swaying my opinion somewhat given that what I'm going to bring up now also happens to be the second in that category...

Realising that someone out there has been translating a book I had sitting there which I had bought largely for the cover (although IIRC I'd also looked at sample pages for the manga before buying both so it wasn't entirely a blind buy) and I've really enjoyed what I've now read of it. Assuming that's not just bounce back from all the rape and slavery etc. in a worrying amount of the titles I've researched while looking through sale titles on BookWalker.

If anyone is looking for ideas on books that are popular in Japan and could be worth licensing, Justus R Stone has been posting a regular video about the top ten weekly LN sales in Japan.

Classroom of the Elite very popular right now with the anime.

UnHolyFiretruck

i would like to see "Amagi Brilliant Park" translated, i've read the 2 first volumes and i liked the anime until i read the book and understood how much better it was before the studio got it's hands on it.

DSMK2

Really would like to see "Irresponsible Captain Taylor" picked up, it's a really old light novel series that had an old sci-fi comedy anime made from it. The novels continue where the anime left off.

Elphus

Tbh I'd love to see Unbreakable Machine Doll get picked up. It's a long series so far at 15 volumes and robots in love with humans is entirely my jam.

Tsuujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki de Ni-kai Kougeki no Okaa-san wa Suki desu ka?

Mother (MILF) goes into the Isekai with her son. =P

I definitely second that one, though I don't know too much yet (I'm guessing it'll be more comedy than romance? I can just imagine the scenarios where she ruins things for her son by being there). 😛

I would like to read C3, Zero no Tsukaima, Campione, and Date a Live (▰˘◡˘▰)
