      Hmmm. My knowledge base of LN titles isn't that large, so I can't suggest specific titles, but still...

      Classic millennial makes me think that it might be a title that came out about 20 years ago and had a popular anime made from it.

      RTFM... Read The "Fine" Manual... An isekai where the protagonist gets a guidebook?

        RTFM probably wrong guess...

        Release date: 5/25/18 (just one volume)

        Publisher: Shueisha (I forget if they're one of the ones that doesn't want all digital).

        The main character is literally a manual on magic.

            @paul-nebeling I've always heard it as "Read The Firing Manual," so my first thought was it would be something to do with the army, guns, or the army and guns.

                  Guess on Classical Millennial

                  Shinwa Densetsu no Eiyuu no Isekaitan

                  alt text

                  Once upon a time, a boy was referred to as a “War Hero.”

                  In another world called Aletia, the boy who had saved the Lost Kingdom, conquered their neighbouring countries, and led to the rise of a grand empire decided to throw everything away, returning to the modern era at the cost of his memories.

                  As three years passed, the boy who was happily enjoying his daily life was once again called back to the other world.

                  However, what awaited him was the Aletia of 1000 years in the future.

                  As his past glories became a “myth,” the legend of the youth referred to as the, “Twin Black Hero King,” begins.

                    ...1000 years in the future.

                    Ah, that's a good idea. Someone from 1000 years in the past.

                      Maybe RTFM could refer to Altina the Sword Princess? From what I've read of the synopsis it contains a person who always would read the manual dealing with a "meathead" who doesn't.

                        God, that'd be nice, though I think it's Kadokawa, so ... if Sam did get it, it'd be a coup. :)

                        (Note, as well, that Altina isn't stupid. She just isn't interested in books, there's a difference. She picks up on things pretty well. :)

                          That would mean JNC now has access to Kadokawa titles

                            Looks like nobody posted an update here, so here you go just in case someone missed it.

                            The first hint Classic Millennial was for the series Lazy Dungeon Master. You can find it here: https://j-novel.club/s/lazy-dungeon-master/

                            ===

                            Still 11 hints to go.

                                I was actually going to ask, what does the hint mean? I don't think I'll read that series this month (I've got 9 things to read).

                                  @terrence Classic millennial = living the lazy life in your parents' basement = Lazy Dungeon Master. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                  Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                                        He made a comment elsewhere about twintails. I'm looking forward to hearing what that one was. Kind of hoping it's Lazy Dungeon Master, as I believe I recall Rokuko having twintails and it's Overlap.

                                        Okay, so was Lazy Dungeon Master the "twintail" related title, or is there still something else?

                                        Cause it's not like twintails is really an important element in that story. Feet maybe...

                                            Still hoping to see "Sasami-san@Ganbaranai" from Shogakukan. So many titles, My mouth was agape when I saw the announcements section. Wow, looking forward to all the announcements!
