What Other Light Novels Are You Reading?

@terrence Arguably legit, probably not legal: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/6cvjst/whats_going_on_with_qidian_international_and/
I'm not really interested in any Wuxiang/Cultivation/Chinese novels (except maybe Release That Witch), but this Qidian saga is popcorn worthy.

Ahh, too bad. I try to stay on the up and up with my novel reading (haven't read any fanslations yet, but if I did, I'd probably want to purchase the books in Japanese first to show support).
Edit: I don't really understand the situation in the link though... that doesn't sound like illegal, just them taking back their properties and not licensing any more to that other site. I'm probably misunderstanding the situation from those posts.
Edit 2: That additional link on the Reddit got me an answer to my other question...
which they intend to paywall in a few months.
-
@terrence The illegal part refers to https://www.reddit.com/r/noveltranslations/comments/6cp1ag/please_use_this_thread_to_discuss_the_wuxiaworld/. I obviously cannot verify those claims, but with everything said and done, Qidan seems to be at least scummy.
-
From what I gather, Qidan just rips fan translations from Wuxia World, though they're in process of recruiting Wuxia World's translators and bringing over their series.
They're currently in legal dispute with them as well.
Personally I wouldn't read stuff on Qidan. They seem really scummy, aiming for an eventual paywall and LOL I ain't paying for fan translations.

You aren't buying Invaders of the Rokujyoma? Granted it's getting edited.
-
@terrence I am buying Rokujouma.

Hey, I have one more question if you don't mind.
How old is Luck developmentally?
I'm curious if Luck x Eve Genoard could be a thing in the future, but don't spoil it. Luck being single was something brought up in the volume

A lot of light novels released yesterday. Anyone get any?
I got:
Part Timer 8 (2.99 after a Google Books 5 off promo).
Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers 2 (3.50 after a 5 off credit from a cancelled free Amazon Echo Dot).
I'm making out like a bandit.
Also got Slime Reincarnation (which I think I messed up and got the manga) and Goblin Slayer 3 on their way.

Yep, the light novel won't be out until December.

@myskaros :cry:

What am I reading? I'm reading Sword Art Online in paper format, Devil is a Part-Timer! and In Another World With My Smart Phone in ebook format. (Smartphone was being purchased from Amazon, but will be purchased as a premium Ebook from here starting with volume 5. Debating whether to start reading Infinate Dendrogram or Demon King Diamaou. Suggestions appreciated.
-
@terrence quick question for part timer, what volume did the anime end on? I'm feeling really lazy and don't feel like reading it from the start, I loved the anime and I'm actually looking forward to buying this LN if it continued after the anime that is.

Depends what you're after really! If you think you've got your fill of VRMMO settings with SAO or want to read something full of fanservice then pick Demon King Daimaou. Otherwise, my recommendation would be Infinite Dendrogram as I feel it is the stronger story.

Volume 3! I was lazy too, so I just started from there.
The only thing of note from the previous volumes that isn't in the show is (Devil is a Part-Timer Volume 2 spoiler):
-
@terrence alright I've got some catching up to do
-
This post is deleted! -
@hyferzftw Part-Timer runs thru the end of volume 2, with one side story from volume 7 and one episode that appears to be OVA.
-
@raddevlin That is sort of the line of thought I'm following as well. With 9 (possibly more) volumes of SAO remaining, I don't know if I want to start another VRMMORPG series. From reading part 1 of volume 1 of Diamaou, the fan service seems to be mostly in the anime. I could be wrong though.
-
@whoisfriend As of right now, I'm trying to complete Grimgar Of Fantasy and Ash. After I finish, I might look into Clockwork Planet since it looks cool and the author also made No Game No Life.
