      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

        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.

                        I really hope someone picks this up in English soon. xC

                          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

                                        @rerdey for the last one, I picked it up but feel like it’s a story I’ll continue reading on a day I find myself extremely bored. It was a fun read to say but didn’t have me in a rush to turn the pages.
