Oda Nobunaga I'm sure had an anime not to long again if I'm remembering correctly so there might be a chance there.Seitokai no Ichizon looks interesting as well.

- Isekai yururi kikou-kosodate shinagara boukensha shimasu. It's about reincarnated person who have to raise the children of a god while adventuring.
I'm quite certain that most people who enjoy Campfire Cooking would also like this one.

Knight's & Magic

Really want to see Rebuild World

Another two novels I currently want to see getting licensed (by J-Novel Club of course) are these two:
1). Two Saints Wander off into a Different World
A very interesting and fun isekai story. It's the only novel I know of, where there are two female main characters. Their character is also totally different, even when they like the same things, so as a reader you can support the main character you like more, the tomboyish Maki, or the girlish Chiharu. It's one of the few light novels where I buy the manga adaption (the last volume of the manga got released this month).
2). Free Fantasy Life Online
As few may know in this forum, I absolutely love gaming novels and this novel is an absolutely must have for me. I already noticed this light novel quite some time ago, but I never had the time to look more into it. Yesterday I stumbled over the manga adaption by chance and shortly skimmed through it, before I started to read the fan translation of the web novel. I'm totally exited about it, the world building is very interesting and detailed (similar to Infinite Dendrogram, which is a huge plus point for me) and the main character is totally unique (she plays a zombie). The beginning of the novel is very fun to read, because the main character/player starts at the racial start for zombies, which is a tomb, crawling with undead. Furthermore she has the appearance of a rotten corpse and needs to gain exp to level up and evolve into a being which a more human-like appearance.

I would like too see 29&JK be licensed.
-
- The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker
- Only Sense Online
I have been following these two novels since I caught interesting these picks because I like the slice of life of them. I want to see them to license next year.

@Ezekiel-Cupid-nb1v6iy do you mean 27&JK? If so, it is already, on this site even.

As a few others have mentioned, I too would love for Evil God Average to be released in English.

At The Northern Fort is another series I would love to have licensed here. It’s a super fluffy story about a little spirit fox cub who also happens to have the memories of a reincarnated Japanese girl. However, what makes this different is that she acts like a cub. It is so freaking cute!

What about "Magical★Explorer - It Seems I Have Become a Friend of the Protagonist In An Eroge World, But Because Magic is Fun I Have Abandoned The Role And Train Myself"? It's a great read! The title says it all. Could anyone make a topic out of this? I tried doing it on my own but an error said Please enter a longer title. Titles should contain at least 3 character(s).. At a loss here.

I'd have to Go with "the master of the brave”
and "I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary".Though the series I wanted picked up the most was ”the great cleric" and "ascendance of a bookworm" ,and they're already picked up, so I'm happy regardless.
It's also really exciting to see all the differences between the WN and LN of cleric as I've read quite far in the web version. -
@Emblyon "I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship" was already licensed by Seven Seas. If you want more info, they posted about it on Nov 30th.

@nappingcub thanks for letting me know, I had no idea. Looking forward to that later down the line then 😃

well i hope for that https://bookwalker.jp/de94dfbcfe-565b-46ec-887b-c1d892c1d675/
or that one https://bookwalker.jp/de95feb1bf-be9d-4879-913d-79e2014892d3/ -
The only things I care about being licensed are the Ascendance of a Bookworm Fanbook and the Bookworm drama CDs. I've not looked when the latter would need to come out to line up with the right books as I want to avoid spoilers.

Since Maria is a work under Shueisha (Cobalt Bunko), JNC would need them first as business partner to have maybe a much better chance of getting it.
Seven Seas might be a possibility as well but I don't see them to keep releasing Maria if it doesn't well enough just like with Boogiepop and Record of Lodoss War.
Would it really affect j novel ability to license Maria Watches Over Us because it is under cobalt? What kind of partnership would they need? The series has just been sitting their untouched so don't see why they wouldn't want more money off it with little effort. Plus it might increase the anime sales to. Not to mention the quickly growing interest in yuri type stories.
Seven Seas I would kind want stay away from as it takes them just way too long to release stuff they license and their translations are suspect at best. Just look at the mess they made of the Bloom manga and spin off light novels. Like how to you manage to repeatedly get the characters names wrong of all things...

Cobalt Bunko is one of Shueisha's light novel labels and Shueisha is one of big publishers like Kodansha and Kadokawa.
JNC doesn't have licensed any work from them yet but Shueisha does work with digital only Manga companies like Media Do.
I am not sure if this doesn't mean they will do it with LNs as well.

After the recent manga chapter, Endo and Kobayashi's Live Commentary on the Tsundere Villainess Liselotte became my top wish for this year. It's so cute.
Along with that, it's my long term wishlist Okoborehime.
