      1. Time of Eve: Another Act
      2. The Faraway Paladin
      3. Is it Wrong to Pickup Girls in a Dungeon (Vol. 6 especially)
      4. The Devil is a Part-Timer
      5. The Isolator

      Also would consider adding Arifureta after completing at least 1 volume.

        1. The Faraway Paladin
        2. Grimgar
        3. Goblin Slayer
        4. Realist Hero
        5. Big Sis

        Big Sis dropped after volume 3. And I'm also considering adding Arifureta to #1 after completing volume 1. I'm a huge fan of darker plots, so I'm quite attached to Arifureta.

          1. Grimgar
          2. Another
          3. Book Girl
          4. Faraway Paladin/Spice & Wolf
          1. Big Sister

          I've only read the first 3 main volumes of Book Girl, so that one could still move in either direction.

            hmm I can´t actually make a list like this, because I like too many LN.
            But one of the best for me are : Black Bullet, Arifureta, Shinmai Maou no Testament, Highschool DxD, Mahouka, Is Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon, Magika No Kenshi To Shoukan Maou, Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan, Akashic Record of Bastard Magical Instructor, Eromanga-Sensei,Goblin Slayer, Death March, Rising of the Shield Hero, Re:Zero, Monogatari Serjies, No game no life, Strike the blood, Konosuba, Tsuujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki de Ni-kai Kougeki no Okaa-san wa Suki desu ka? and many other haha

              No particular order:
              Over Lord
              Grimgar
              Mushoku Tensei
              Goblin Slayer

              Would be my top 4

                @Bryan Pretty much mine too. I would add Danmachi and Faraway Paladin though.

                    1. My Favorite Song - Silver Siren

                    I just picked this and The Violet Knight up on that Cross Infinite World sale. Be a bit before I get to it though. =)

                    In terms of my interests, I didn't enjoy Paying to Win volume 3 as much and the formula + lack of any sort of interesting setting / world building in the VRMMO is holding it back for me. So that'd fall down on my personal list.

                    I'm in the middle of SisKan V3 (hopefully my tabs stay open with that one since I know it expired). I kind of like how they introduced this new character. They betrayed some of my expectations... well, initially. So that series is going up on my rankings.

                    Rokka: Braves is good, though with the light bit of info I gleaned from some posts, I hope it doesn't affect my read. I know basically nothing beyond volume 1.

                    Baccano V4 up next for me after Sound! Euphonium. I feel bad, but I'm way behind on Part-Timer. It's just one of those series I know will be there waiting for me to jump back in whenever I like.

                                This'll be hard. In no particular order

                                1. Grimgar

                                2. Oregiaru

                                3. biblia antiquarian bookshop

                                4. Mondaiji-Tachi

                                5. Hyouka? (Not a Light novel)

                                Bluesteel might join this list, but I've only read 1 Vol so far

                                "I drowned a fish, killed a dead tree and made medicine sick"

                                  Lets see

                                  1. Overlord
                                  2. In a different World with my Smartphone (was why I subscriped to J-Novel Club)
                                  3. Death March
                                  4. Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear (some times you just need a nice Slice of Life Novel)
                                  5. Cook of the Mercenary Corp
                                  6. Kara no Kyoukai (why oh why is there only one chapter released in english -atleast officially-)
                                  7. Lottery Grand Prize (yep it is a typical Harem Story with an OP MC. But an Badass MC)
                                  8. Summoned Slaughterer

                                  Oh yeah this list doesn't mean that I am more inclined to Isekai novel although many are transportet to another world novel

                                  There are others I enjoy to read (Baccano, Index, Irregular at Magic High School and so on)but those are the once I rerread regularly. Also I am sure that Youjo Senki will join this list shortly. But let's wait till it gets released.

                                  Also there are some which do not fit the LN criteria like Gourmet of another World

                                      @terrence I remember just reading the description of the LN got me hooked. Now that the anime is out I hope someone starts translating it again.

                                            I can not believe that nobody seems to have voted for:

                                            Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! -- Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo

                                            I also like the following, which I am pretty sure nobody has voted for either:

                                            Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody -- Death March Kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoku
