Can we have a light novel thread

Wasn't skythewood in charge of Slime Tensei?

Web novel, that is.

Why would anyone read shitty machine translation of a Chinese machine translation?

Why not have some self-respect and learn Japanese?

You know who I am quoting.

Guro and Clown seemed to have taken over.

Looks like they abandoned the LN translation and only the WN translation is active.

the only WN i cared about, 地球からきた転生者の殺し方, disappeared.

Edgy, bro.

It's actually pretty funny. It doesn't take itself too seriously. If you're expecting deprive the deprived or nidome no yuusha, its nothing like that.

LNs are literally the worst medium of the already terrible medium that is otaku "literature".

I've been digging through Arslan Senki for the past few weeks, but once I get far enough in the novels that I'm caught up to the recent anime I'm hoping to give Genjuu Chousain a read. It's getting so hard to find fantasy that's not isekai/reincarnation shit these days.

Aren't there like 20 volumes or something? How good is it in terms of pacing and writing?

>>15805708
I think 15, currently. So far (4 volumes in) it's been really straightforward with solid progression. I've heard the second half of the series changes direction, but I haven't got that far yet. The writing is fine as far as I'm concerned, very concise, nothing super flowery, awkward, or extraneous that's really stood out, but also not overly simplistic either. I don't think I've ever found much fault in Tanaka Yoshiki's prose, he's pretty good at cutting the fat and keeping things interesting.

Isn't it just a poor man's Rot3K, with more gay illustrations?

I'm really hoping the manga adaptations get popular enough to be translation. I'm a chunni-fag who loves manly stus.

I find it to be far more readable than R3K (at least, the English translation of it that I read), but I won't deny that there are some similarities; but R3K is one of those seminal works it's hard NOT to draw comparisons in Japanese historical war fiction. But Arslan is rather narrower in scope and has a much more focused "story" to it, and it doesn't feel to me like I'm reading just a middle-eastern skinned R3K.

I wasn't expecting a recurring time-travel plot in Slime-loli. But it sounds less ridiculous than the Shield Bro spinoff, where the bird-brain spear-hero goes dying groundhog's day style just for the love of bird-grills.

>>15805729
Just to clarify, you weren't reading some translation right

>>15808326
see>>15806033
Probably the translation. I read it was popular enough to be published in various lingua?

>>15808326
Yes, Japanese.
