      Anyone know anything about the VN or LN for this? Are the LN or WN still active?

        @terrence volume 3 came out in March and there's been around half a year between volumes so it's unclear from that. The WN is on the R-18 version of Syosetu so I'm not checking that right now...

            I am requesting you guys to look at this novel which has garnered some good attention lately. It's even one of the top voted in the recent Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi voting in Japan.!

              I'd like to forward Sunday Without God - the anime was great and I've heard the novels are supposed to be even better.

                  Watching the new Justus R Stone weekly top ten from Japan.

                  https://youtu.be/K8A9-ab0k50

                  I request:

                  Jacu-Chara Tomozaki-kun Vol.5

                  aka The Low Tier Character "Tomozaki-kun"

                  alt text

                  I immediately want this. About a guy who believes real life to be crappier than any video game he's played, but his fellow elite gamer is trying to teach him the rules of life and how it can be a great game. =]

                    Sounds like Shiro and Sora from NGL.
                    I've also wanted that title for some time

                          @aoiripper No game no life? Yea that one is already picked up.
                          I was comparing the protag to Shiro and Sora because they also think reality is a shitty game

                            I think he's saying he wants the title I mentioned. I'm sure he knows NGNL is out and about in English. =]

                            (NGNL doesn't seem to be my bag; prefer older characters / character designs; suppose I could just ignore the art and read the text; Ryou's Work is Never Done is another one I'm kind of avoiding, especially based on impressions, though the Shogi element could be intriguing).

                                For the record, I'd love Lazy Dungeon Master as well, someone mentioned it somewhere in this thread. It's by Overlap, and we already have Arifureta, Faraway Paladin, Grimgar, and I think one or two more. :)

                                  @Terrence I just finished Yuuji's backstory in the Labyrinth of Grisaia, and that's probably affecting my thinking, but if that concept was done right, it could be amazing. I'm probably thinking or wanting something far more serious than what it is though.

                                        @terrence I kinda dislike the childish vibe ngl gives of sometimes. But the plot is really good so I can't help myself

                                        And how you desribed your feelings about the Ryou title is EXACTLY how I feel too, lmao.

                                        also it's harem

                                          Justus did a video on Ga Sugoi magazine's rankings for light novels in Japan the past year. This list is pretty indicative of what is popular in Japan, and most of these titles make their way over in some shape or form stateside. Some really interesting stuff in there.

                                          Part 1

                                          A Sister's All You need also made the first list; cautiously looking forward to that.

                                            Still wondering when is Mushoku Tensei gonna be licensed... I mean, it's like the highest rated isekai ever (in Japan at least), but somehow Death March, So I'm a Spider and That Time I Reincarnated into a Slime got licensed earlier. It doesn't make sense to me, even though the manga has already been licensed, so it can't be some weird stance like "we don't like our MC to be a little kid having the mind of a 30 year old lusting after childs" since the manga is already out...
