>>51252231A new officials translation LN batch released during the last thread, I put it in the OP links
>>51252237>officials translation LNwhy would anyone subject themselves to this?
I should read Welcome to the NHK.
Anyone have the 「都市」シリーズ raws?
>>51252231>#2So we really doing it?Well just hope more people will come in the future, maybe mentioning this general on /a/ could help
Is there any way to rip Bookwalker to epub without too much hassle yet? Best I got is some extension that will automatically screenshot the entire novel, and even if I run it through some OCR it'll probably fuck the formatting and rubi. Wouldn't even buy from the shit site if they didn't regularly get short stories for series I wanna read.
>>51257372>BookwalkerNope. The secret tool via the PC app got exposed by some retarded faggot and as you probably know, Bookwalker blocked downloads from the PC app. Apparently, only a few guys know how to do it, via Android or whatever, but it's not public.
To the anon who helped me figure out the name of 'failure frame', thank you.I was banned for a while so this response is a bit late.Also thanks to whoever revived the LN general. It is good to be back.
Unfortunately there's like five of us here and we can only do so much reading.
Any good Fantasy LN with an ending?
>>51262259Probably Slayers, granted I've only watched the anime back in the day.
wtf happened to the book sharing channel
>>51264171Do you have the links?
>>51264171It still works, just changed the name because previous one got nuked by discord
Just finished Grimm Connect Vol 4, Kinda hate how slow the MC tends to be at time but at the very least the last part was pretty emotional. It's great to see the Shepherd girl throwing her hands in the air, questioning what the hell the MC thinking. Well, screw her though, I'm with the MC with this one.
>>51270574Out of curiosity, what's the deal with that physical edition?
>>51270698Oh, that's just an illustration of an old story book, not the real physical photo for the novel.
>>51252237happy to see him continue that
So, what LN volumes are we waiting for, for the last months of this year?
Last time I read this many books was more than 10 years ago.
Anyone has recommendations for something realistic and grounded, maybe even an adult setting rather than highschool. Romance (sub)plot required.
>>51277263Dont read light novels, get into normal japanese novels
>>51277266I like the idea of something serialized/longer though, but if you have any good normal novel recs i'm interested
>>51277263>Anyone has recommendations for something realistic and groundedA Gentleman in Moscow
WN or LN, which do we prefer?
Anyone reading Nibun no Ichi?
>>51281520LN by far.
>>51276546>光のとこにいてねWild seeing this here after running into it in a Twitter post this morning
>>51284781I picked it up because it looked like better written yuri, and in some ways it was, and in many ways it wasn't. After learning the author wrote a bunch of BL novels, some of the shoddy melodrama things that stood out made more sense. The ending is going to haunt me for a while.
>>51277263Unironically the SAO Progressive LN, I haven't read the main LN but so far I'm enjoying this version. Fuck the youtube essayists, SAO is pretty good.
>>51270574The premise seems interesting but there seems to be no English TL unfortunately, I guess now is the time to finally learn Japanese.
>>51252570I liked that at the end of each chapter Sato mentions he wishes he could die Anime wasn't like that
Does anyone have 幼なじみは誘えばいつでもデキる関係 volume 2? I can only find rips for volume 1.
>>51283357Without spoiling it, how does this compare to Classroom of the Elite?I dropped COTE in the 2nd year since it became a harem and kiyopon became a 'literally me' character.
Okay, this general is very slow.We should let the guys at infinity know that we are back, or experiment with running a LN general at /a/.I really love light novels and wish to see this LN general prosper
>>51288918Sorry I read slow and get distracted by playing games too much.I read the first volume of Dジェネシス which was alright, so I'll probably continue that after finishing the newest volume of Rebuild World.Barely spoilers, but about Rebuild World, the 本人の範囲 stuff is interesting to think about.
>>51288918I read a volume a week, a decent length LN can take me months.
Anyone read Ascendance of a Bookworm in Japanese? How much fantasy mumbo jumbo does it have?I'm not really into fantasy or isekai but I kinda expected it was full of useless vocab, but the difficulty ratings are surprisingly low.
Seem like the new thread need to be made
