Is it just for me, or is bakatsuki down? Did they move or something?

Spice and Wolf, Twelve Kingdoms, Kino no Tabi.

12 Kingdoms and Kino no Tabi are great, Spice and Wolf I've grown bored of.

Hakomaria will end in Maria's death or Kazukis.

Either way, they're not getting together.

AHAHAHAHAHAH

How can one possibly dislike the Kingdom Royale and the Wish-crushing cinema?
I literally had a hard on when Kazuki realized he was insane as fuck and was okay with that

>>108970320
But if Maria dies, she will probably go on a boat ride with Kazuki, and if he dies, he will probably take her as well. Remember that he is a yandere.

It's like, the change of tone and characters felt like fan fiction.

Like, you're accostumed to a character then suddenly his actions change so much that you can't recognize him.

>>108970655
Re-reading, I noticed that Kazuki being insane/yandere was already there from the start, there were some subtle hints about his connection with O as well, so my second read was much more interesting than the first one. Volume 6 is still my favorite though.

>>108970998
I don't know, maybe I just didn't like the direction it took. Either way vol.1 is my favorite, I loved it.

Mahouka. After 3 volumes I have completely stopped caring about Tats being such a gary stu and am just rolling with it. It's actually funny how broken he is.

How is that compared to the main series? A lot of the series charm comes from Bell's stupidity and his constant unlucky encounters with strong enemies and situations. I just imagine the Loli team wouldn't have much trouble considering they're a team full of OP fucks.

>>108973712
>How is that compared to the main series?
Not as good as the main series is the general consensus, but still worth buying/interesting because you will miss out on too much stuff if you don't. Yen Press readers are kinda fucked if they don't license this series as well.

The main problem isn't that they are OP because there are always more OP monsters. The issue is that it is a parallel timed event, so in essence you got partially spoiled already. They say it's a side story, but everything's very closely related to the main story. In fact, people say there are more "main plot" than the main novel simply because Bell's too low level to "get into the main plot" still.

My ranking of the volumes 5 >>>> 3 >> side > 4 > 1 >>>> 2.

>>108974115
I'm still reading volume 5 (Black Goliath fight just started), but it seems to be starting to actually get ready to reveal shit about the dungeon. Side story aside, I'd agree with your ranking, though.

I like Haimura's designs better all around, though. I'll probably get around to reading it at some point, I just won't prioritize it much considering like you said, I more or less know a lot of the results because of the main story.

Also, has it mentioned if anyone knows how many floors the dungeon is? I can't recall.

Gaiden 1 doesn't diverge much, but Gaiden 2 you might wanna pick up, and it explains a plot point that will not get explained in Volume 5.

As for Haimura's design, 2ch would agree with you. Every single volume people shit on Yasuda until volume 5 with the bath images; I like Yasuda. People joked that Yasuda reads 2ch so he went balls drawing to make volume 5 look good (he actually posed that on twitter too that he worked really hard on it this time).

Nobody knows how deep the dungeon is. Loki Familia's deepest with 59 as far as what's being reported to the Guild anyway; I wouldn't be surprised if Ottarl went deeper.

Enjoy the Goliath fight. Completely insane in the end. Ryuu and Asfi are so awesome. Just FYI, Gaiden 2 does have the Spartoi Udeus/Udaios fight, so that's another Monster Rex fight to look forward to (but Ais probably wrecked him easily).

>>108974715
The two gaidens cover up to volume 5 already? That means the author might want to slow down on how often they're released if he doesn't want to spoil shit in the main series with it. If he even cares to, since it's going to take Bell a few more volumes to catch up, especially if he keeps getting all S stats before leveling up.

And Yasuda isn't bad, I just like Haimura's style more. It's easier to see what's going on and have a more of an action feel to them. And Hiamura knows how to design a nice weapon and dwarf, gotta love it.

Can't imagine Ottarl or whoever got further. Going by his fight with Ais, he's a bit lower on the fighting strength, though I don't know much about the Freya familia's progress.

Anyone got pdfs of HO vols 7 and 8 since BT is down?

No it doesn't, [s]but Bell used something that Lily picked up but is actually from Ais in volume 2; it doesn't explain where the weapon is from in volume 5 itself.[/spoiler]

You might've confused volume 3's attacker with someone else. Ottarl hasn't fought Ais, and definitely could take down Ais since he's level 7.

Oh, I assumed the masked beastman leader calling her a monster was him, but I might have missed or misread something. I'll have to go back and check if it ends up bothering me enough.

I wouldn't be sure the difference between level 6 and 7 is that great, though. At that point it really depends how many stats they grinded before each level up, like Bell and his all S bullshit. Though Bell seems to have gotten a little bit stronger from possible hidden stat increases from just leveling up, so maybe it would.

Finish reading that Goliath fight and you will understand. The gap between levels are pretty much insurmountable unless you have some hax rare ability, and even then you would still lose in a 1v1 fight 100% of the time. In fact, the level gap only gets bigger as you level up.

Mahouka, in bursts, depending on the whims of the translators.
SAO, now only through tap's site. And his translations of Progressive's manga.

Found out about Mushoku Tensei from another /a/ thread (probably one of the Re:Monster threads) and have been following that. There's no really high quality translation work yet, but it's sort of passable. The guy's almost done book 2.

>are almost fanfiction.net tier
They are, for the most part. A lot of the authors don't actually plan ahead and just do whatever comes to mind. Like how often there's a stat theme for characters, and it's stated it takes forever to grind stats etc, but the MC does it in an extremely short amount of time and everyone else starts to do the same. Basically devolving into DBZ power level shit.

Granted despite flaws like that, I do occasionally find a couple I enjoy for the characters more than the worldbuilding.

>>108978243
>But does anyone else have issues with the writing in some of the translations on baka-tsuki?
A lot of the translators don't know shit about English, like what a proper noun is or how to use em dashes. Granted a lot of native English speakers don't either. They also really, really want to "preserve" the Japanese flow of a sentence, which is retarded.

>>108978272
>All I can say that at least LNs are great to practice low level moon with.
Agreed. I honestly skipped grammar books like an above Anon mentioned and have just been figuring shit out through LNs. Which is probably bad in the long run, but fuck it, it motivates me at least.

>>108978243
By now I can read them more or less without any problems as long as it isn't Mondaiji-tier.

Actually, it kind of seemed like a self-insert story to me at first, but the author really started kicking the MC in the balls later on. It's only the "childhood arc" that's where life is the most rosy. Also, story does have a significantly more "mature" (as in plot development not PLOT and gore) as the volumes progress. I was honestly surprised by it.

BT is down so I can't check. I know I didn't get past what season 2 covered. Just sort of lost interest and put it down for later, and now the series is like 30+ books long, which is intimidating when I know the translations are frequently iffy and therefore more demanding to try to read.

>self-insert, masturbatory

I like the world-building aspect some of them do.

note: *some* of them. Others, I see them recommended fanatically somewhere, tentatively take a look, and hit the NOPE nuke from orbit button. Like I couldn't get past the prologue of, what was the name, something like Legendary Moonlight Sculptor or something, without saying "you've got to be fucking kidding me" fifteen times and then dropping it. Some of them, I don't even get past the promo blurb.

SAO and Mahouka, though /a/ rages and shitposts constantly, have stuff in the text (but not in the anime) that happen to entertain me (MMO mechanics and magical computer science nerdery). I don't care how much some people care about whether the authors do or do not imagine themselves as being the overpowered main characters.

I'd read more Hagure Yuusha Estetica if it was in readable form too, knowing full well that it's trashy, just to see the main character being a hilarious ass.

I guess basically, if it's entertaining and doesn't mash my personal ragebuttons, why would I *not* read it for free? Other people have different rage triggers and are entertained by different things.

It's out of print, so it ending up being really accessible online.

Wasn't the light novel industry already flooded several years ago?

I remember someone once posted three collage images of every light novel published that month. And it was insane. Vast amounts of "slap a pretty girl's picture on the cover and a long title and hope it sells a few thousand copies" are play there. It's a very weird inward-facing industry, apparently.

Like imagine all if the English language trashy ebooks on Amazon and B&N were also getting small print runs. That's Japan right now. Except they started ages ago and skipped the ebook phase. The print a ton of stuff and see what sticks, then promote the top few.

Possibly someone will come in and say that that happened to manga, too, a decade earlier.

Stop cherrypicking.
He also

-Fails to save a newbie adventurer he could have easily saved because he (MC) was too greedy
-His brilliant plan of switching job requests and building up his traveling companion's reputation fails on him (Ironically, he wanted to actually find the "best solution/way to satisfy both sides" which backfired on him and caused him to lose all trust he built up for a couple of months)
-Beats up and bad-mouths his own father even though he (MC) was obviously in the wrong
-Has the girl who took his virginity and closest female to him leave after the first night
-Has erectile dysfunction for three years after that
-Fails to save his father

I can go on and on. Trust me, his life isn't that of a gary stu. Honestly, this is way darker than your generic LN and author puts legitimate challenges and hardships in his way. This reminds me more of a somewhat darker western fantasy story except with an eastern plot.

Also the author does world building quite well. He puts elements into play that only make sense several volumes later instead of the generic "insert chekov's gun into first chapter, fire it a couple chapters later".

I'm not sure exactly. He does multiple series, plus some other projects, so I'd have to dig to make a list. They outright have to make him slow down, because otherwise he writes faster than they can edit and sell Index.

> Kawahara
Well, only his Accel World and SAO Progressive books are "new" though. The main SAO line is still heavily revised versions of what he already wrote years and years ago. He's seriously still got like six books worth of that left to print.

I was expecting him to slow down a bit, but he's actually starting another series. I'm not sure if that's going to be at the expense of the publishing speed of one of the others.

It happens at the end of volume 5, but it isn't a full reset. It's more a partial memory change for everyone but the main characters. It was necessary because everyone sees Akuto fighting, so the memory change allows him to go back to his more normal student life.
You should keep reading.

>>108981871
Miki wants him to only do 5 books this year, Kawahara says he wants to keep 6 books a year still. This is in the afterwards of Absolute Isolator. To be honest, AI's just filling his schedule cause there isn't even a set date for the publication of book 2.

>>108982234
>I'm merely wondering why people call him Kamachi.exe
Because that's purely a Kamachi in-joke and it in part works due to the side jokes of Kamachi being Miki's money making program. You can't just steal the joke and apply it to other fast authors.

>>108982234
>Kamachi.exe
Because reading his works is like reading machine translations. Soulless, and of poor quality.

>>108982234
>I'm merely wondering why people call him Kamachi.exe but never Kawakami.exe or Nisio.exe
Because Kamachi refuses to divulge any information about himself. All we know about the guy is apparently he's fairly young and male. He doesn't participate in fan signings, twitter, anything. By fan logic (jokingly), he must not actually be able to do these, thus be a program.

Why'd you put the first title in Japanese and have the other two in romaji?

That said, I haven't gotten into Duelist yet. I started to read the prologue and it the whatever the fuck it was wanted who I would assume to be the MC to smile. And then I decided to put it off for later.

I do enjoy Dungeon for the most part, though.

>>108984622
>It didn't have a shota who could do everything and everyone loves him for no reason
The only one who really doesn't have a reason for randomly liking Bell is Ais. And it started from wanting to apologize to him for thinking her mistake might have hurt him anyway. I just assume her obviously being romantically interested in him is due to him being cute like a rabbit and not a tsundere jerkass like Bate.

>He solo'd a powered up Minotaur by vol 3
It was leading up to that since volume 1 and his fast growth is one of if not the major element to the story. On the other hand, his Exp ability will only work until he catches up to Ais, then it goes from overpowered to wasted skill slot.

>overpowered unique weapon in 4
The minotaur knife is good, not overpowered. It was even made by a novice blacksmith. Magic swords are what are overpowered.

Saying his Argonaut ability is a unique, overpowered ability is entirely correct, though.

>>108985312
>No she doesn't. She wants to /ss/ with her captain who IS a true shota.
You just denied and then repeated what was said.

>>108985187
Minotaur is weak as hell man and Bell was full S stats. His new weapon is useless against Goliath and his new ability is also useless against anything of importance without standing around to charge.

>>108985437
Glad to hear that there's something to look forward to, what else is there in book 5 and beyond?

>>108985403
Not that I know of.

>>108985656
He almost died in the beginning and end of the volume, and he only survived due to awesome teammates (3 of them are more powerful than him and one is only level 1).

>>108985814
3? He gained another?

>>108985656
>what else is there in book 5
Bell and his party getting completely fucked over by the dungeon (adventurers dumping mobs on him, monsters spawning out the ass, ceiling collapsing on them and pit falls), seeing a lot of girls naked and bathing with no consequence (nor should there be since half of them peeked at Bell's stats when he was KO'd, which is a dick move), more adventurer dickbaggery due to god assholerly, and a souped up Goliath dungeon boss.

>>108985414
>It was leading up to that since volume 1 and his fast growth is one of if not the major element to the story. On the other hand, his Exp ability will only work until he catches up to Ais, then it goes from overpowered to wasted skill slot.

Is it though?
><Skill>

>[Single-Minded Pursuit]

>Accelerates Growth

>Effects last as long as his feelings are unchanged

> Effects are determined by the strength of his feelings

So if his feelings change to something like "I want to protect Ais" instead of "I want to catch up to Ais" then his growth can continue. Also, what was this about skill slots again?

>>108985856
He gained 5 new teammates temporarily.
One is a level 1 supporter like Lily.
One is a level 2 tank who took a deathblow for Bell (they both survived barely) after his Argonaut fireball failed and he couldn't move due to exhaustion.
One is an OP level 4 DPS/tank that can cast spell while moving (even A is can't do this).
One is another level 4 DPS/tank that has a rare ability shared by less than 5 people, which gave the ability to fly and be invisible among other things.
One is a level 2 DPS that can do AOE prison that can chain even Monster Rex to the ground as long as her magic holds.

Not to mention Welf is the most OP of them all.

>>108986256
If the feeling changes from "wanting to catch up to Ais" to "wanting to protect Ais", that's STILL a change. He just wants to be able to fight with Ais. I imagine the skill only works with the initial feeling otherwise the first effect would be pointless as only the second effect would make a difference.

Although it could just be Hestia's misunderstanding and he could actually "want to be a hero" and Ais is just part of it.

And I say wasted skill slot because you only get skills when you level up, right? If his skill from level 1 becomes unusable due to having achieved his goal, it's a wasted skill slot.

>>108986298
>Welf
That's what happens when you make overpowered weapons and can render the enemy's magic harmful to the enemy.

>>108986298
You got names for these brave and seemingly overpowered people?

And Lily might only technically be level 1. Hasn't her status not been updated for like over half a year or some shit? Considering just the shit she goes through with just Bell, she has to be down for level 2 by now.

>>108986505

Right, but it's one skill per level isn't it? Which means he'll eventually be down one for his level, which of course can be remedied by just leveling up again, but still.

Nah remember he got his Realize Freeze (I honestly don't know wtf that spells translate to) mid-level.

Oh, that's right, shit. The spell's probably some sort of Greek like most of what everything else is. I'm personally way too fucking lazy to reverse-engineer what the author calls it. It is amusing how the author will use English when he can't figure out what the Greek would be, like will o' the wisp.

>>108986940
Different Anon, but I do tend to at least check out what scenes an author or illustrator chooses to highlight. This is from my habit of looking at all the illustrations before even reading the summary of a LN, though.

>>108987023
Why don't you search by genre when it comes to LNs? Or just read the description. And leave pretty art for manga.

>>108987117
>Or just read the description
LN descriptions are almost always ass. Doesn't help that for some reason Japan likes including character conversations or quotes in them. Just don't fucking understand why.

>>108987117
It feels good to randomly stumble upon an enjoyable LN. It's not like I read the whole LN if it sucked, I only do it for authors I like.

>>108982515
>fremy best girl
good taste

Are all the Spice and Wolf LNs released in English yet?

I'd like to read them, but I'm not buying shit if the series isn't finished being released.

>>108987218
>good taste
Have you seen the competition? It's more like the only taste.

I always find light novels base in sales, because I am so sick of authors ending shit prematurely cause they sell for less than a fractale.

>>108987242
12 is coming out soon so 5 more to go.

Buy them. Even if they drop it there's other translations so it's not like you'll never get to read the end.

Anyone read this? "The previous hero wants to retired" or something.

>>108987440
Just find the ones that sell for more than 10k but less than 50k.

>>108987413
Yes actually, I have/do read it. The web version, anyway.

>>108987536
Was it as interesting as the synopsis sound?

>>108986684
I read the first volume, but the Engrish of the translator isn't good enough for me to keep up with it.
I can manage 35th platoon since I like it a lot, but not this.

>>108987566
It's not bad, I suppose? It's not really noteworthy either, though. The characters are fun and fairly well-written, but as by the title, the MC literally wants to just travel around not doing shit and retire from being a hero and let the new guy take over.
Too bad the MC's fairly unlucky and still gets wrapped up in shit. Not that he can die, being immortal due to hero bullshittery. Being strong from the start also removes a lot of suspense as well, but there are plenty of strong enemies to make for a good fight.

Some interesting events do happen, like currently he's been turned into a shota and is exploring a dungeon to get back at a loli vampire for, well, making him a shota. His party for it consists of an angry elf, a shotacon nun, a tomboy fighter/ninja bestgirl, and 3 fairly dumb pirates.

One of my concerns though is that the new hero, whatshisface, is on the cover of volume 3 but in the web version nothing's mentioned of him since the ending of volume 2 in the web version. I assume that means he just keeping the new hero's side of the story in the published version only.

>>108987861
I read 35th platoon for the villan.

>>108987945
That sounds good enough for me already. Does it have political intrigue as well?

By the way, thanks for the summary.

>>108987995
Haunted is pretty great, yeah.

>>108988076
I like how he's just an evil maniac. No stupid sob story or "he's actually a good guy" bullshit.

>>108988031
>Does it have political intrigue as well
A little, but not so much it's made much difference. An archbishop makes the protagonist wanted by saying he's evil, but at best an incompetent assassin comes after him and ultimately nothing comes of it. There's also some side shit with some princesses but I can't even remember what the unimportant shit was.

???????? has plenty of fantasy political bullshit, though.

>>108988149
I see, that's another novel I have a read. Thanks again.

>>108987945
>Being strong from the start
I really do not give a darn about this. There is more to a story than struggling in a fight.
Not saying you were implying this, but many people do and I personally believe these people are the "Naruto" audience.

>>108976179

>I am a freelance Chinese - English translator.
Forgive me if I'm a little skeptical.

>>108988428
Apparently he knows Japanese too.
>This is translated from Japanese into English. Book 1 Chapter 0 and 1 were translated from Chinese into English. Then, I discovered that the Japanese to Chinese translators actually took a lot of liberty with the text, so I abandoned it. (Can you imagine translators adding entire dialogues and paragraphs that didn’t exist?)

Why is yahari so good? I have no idea why I like it so much, but I can't stop thinking about it and the next volume.

>>108992631
The MC and/or characters make you think with their generally pointless dribble. Helps you to remember 8man and get a feel for the character.

Basically, you're sympathizing.

Speaking of Vanadis, one thing that annoys me is that a Viscount (Augre) apparently is of a higher rank than an Earl (Tigre)

LNs are badly done literature

Is Highschool DxD better than Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu?

Have you encountered light novels that have promising or great worldbuilding but other aspects that force you to drop the series?

Anything other than Hidan no Aria?

>>108997508
What is /a/'s beef with Hidan no Aria anyway? I've never touched the series and don't intend on ever doing so.

I don't know why I read LMS. The things that happen in it are so unbelievable and stupid but I can't stop reading. I guess it's cause MC is a turbojew.

>>108997679
What's the point of talking about something you already talked a million times before? Nostalgia really isn't the name of the game here on /a/.

>>108997758
because it's a good story, also you can read the complete LN set in english.

>>108997812
We already did, what else is there left to say? It ended, it's done and there is nothing left to talk about.

>>108997571
I think it's the fact that it takes itself seriously with historic characters, unlike let's say, DxD.

>>108997881
>never re-reading something because you enjoyed it

ok

Correction, it rapes historic characters and tries to play it straight. Just look at what he did to Sherlock Holmes. Poor guy, was turned into first arc fodder.

Picked up

I finished Zaregoto volumes 4 and 5 and now I'm a little confused.

I get that Utsurigi killed a dude and impersonated him while dressing the corpse up to look like himself and leaving a message on the wall to tell Tomo not to spill the beans. He escaped without leaving any trace because he's a super hacker and shit. Then he let Ii come up with some bullshit theory to satisfy everyone. What I don't get is the part where apparently Mad Demon was somehow in on it from the start but was apparently so frightened of Utsurigi that he just played along with everything. What were the hints he was dropping? Was the entire thing just for the benefit of everyone who wasn't Utsurigi, the Professor, and Tomo?

But that's not how it works, he's a count. And the viscount part might even just be a mistranslation since the translator doesn't know what he's doing.

I have to agree that's pretty much the only reason I am. Would be nice if the ln had illustrations or even covers, though.
