General Reading Recommendation Thread (Not Series License Requests)
-
@ryu153 yeah...since this is the forums of an official localization company we don’t allow the posting of any fan fan translations or anything like that.
There are other places on the internet where your question can be addressed.
-
@ryu153 Since it doesn't seem to have a licensed translation, you could put up a thread in the Licensing Suggestions category.
-
Physical version?
-
Sorry this is a general recommendation thread for users to suggest titles for others users to read. As well as ask for recommendations.
It isn’t a thread where you can recommendations for J-Novel Club to consider.
For what it is worth they do physical releases for series that have high ebook sales.
If I misunderstood you I apologize.

The only light novel that I have enjoyed just as much as Bookworm is Overlord.
Overlord is about a futuristic man that gets trapped in the body of his favorite character in an RPG (a skeleton magic caster) and he is transported along with his guildhall into another dimension. This series is not available on J Novel...
Another light novel that I have enjoyed pretty well (but not as much as Bookworm or Overlord) is So I'm a Spider, So What? The main character is hilarious. It is about a girl that is re-incarnated as a monstrous spider in another world. This one is also not on J Novel. -
@Svent - you might enjoy Lazy Dungeon Master if you haven't tried it. It's also amusing with some dark humor since the MC's job is to protect the dungeon core from invading adventurers. The first volume has some darker elements than most of the later volumes, but it's always true that the MC pays the bills buy killing humans not monsters.

@Rahul-Balaggan Well, I am asking for light novels with physical versions. So I can buy one, since about to finish my current light novels. I not really sure which ones have a physical version.
-
Gotcha, if you only want physical Light Novels and that is your only criteria, (without knowing what you already own, or what genres you enjoy) I’d say read Ascendance of a Bookworm.
All 3 volumes in Part 1 of the story are available right now for purchase, and Volume 1 of Part 2 will be released next month.
It is a great story, I would call it a slice of life story, with plenty of comedy, and drama mixed throughout, and a bit of action here and there.
-
@Rahul-Balaggan It look fun I buy it when I done. There isn't nothing I would not read but preference will be the following.
Cat girl.
Monster girls.
Economics since I like Spice and Wolf.
Weird stuff like Please Don't Bully Me, Nagatoro.
Scary female/male mc.
Harem in general I like.
Any science fiction stuff. -
Read Death March to a Parallel world Rhapsody.
It has cat girls, and monster girls, harem
-
@Rahul-Balaggan Thanks.
-
@JRPG-Nation You should try "Last and first idole" then, it has monster girls, scary female MC, weird stuff (a lot of it) and science fiction, and it's available in paperback.
-
@Raitoiro said in General Recommendation Thread:
"Last and first idole"
That tittle and cover would fool anyone then. Thanks.
-
Does anyone of you have recommendations similar to "Bibliophile Princess", "The White Cat's Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King's Lap" or "The Extraordinary, the Ordinary, and SOAP!"?
If possible without harem. -
The closest title I can think of is The Tales of Marielle Clarac series, it is most similar to Bibliophile Princess, it is my personal favorite of all the current J-Novel Heart titles, it makes me laugh a lot, and it has plenty of misunderstandings without dragging it out to a painful degree.
They just started translation of V2 about 2 weeks back, also V1 of the series will be going into the vault on April 15th, if you decide to give it a read.
Edit: also not too similar to the series you mentioned but you should definitely give Tearmoon Empire a read if you already haven’t. It is sort of an opposite White Cat’s Revenge in the sense that it isn’t about revenge but “salvation”...
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

I just finished the first volume of The Tales of Marielle Clarac series and I have to agree, it is truly great!
Thanks for the recommendation. And I am definitely looking forward to reading Tearmoon Empire. :D -
Hello again, I just finished all avaible volumes of Lazy Dungeon Master. I get some Realist Hero taste from it. Is there any other series from JNC or not, which similar to those? Smart guy, building stuff which a little comedy in it?
8 parts, 8 weeks to read a book, than binge read the same book within' 2 hours again.
Myne: Did we deceived him?
Ferdinand: Indeed we did.
Myne: *surprised myneface -
@hopebestman Try out Der Werwolf.
-
@hopebestman maybe arifureta: from common place to world's strongest
-
@hopebestman - I enjoyed the 2 volumes of Strongest Gamer: Let's Play in Another World from Slow Press. It reaches a good stopping point.
