I would still like to know if anyone has read the book in OP. Oh well, I'll probably pick it up later in the month sometime anyway and blog about it.

>>46280079
Why are you making an early thread? Do you know where you are?

Why are half the books in TMW azw3? Are you guys retarded?

kobotards need to fuck off

>I swear it's not intentional but the vast majority of what I read is from them.
Consciously or otherwise feel like a lot of people end up starting to read primarily from a single label, even if they don't notice it.
Like a decade ago people stuck to fantasia because of date a live mass producing clockfags, these days I think overlap may be the primary gateway with arifureta, oreaku, TRPG and a decent number of niche series that nonetheless have a good following.
So yeah starting like this is probably normal for whatever reason.

i wanted better voices for calibre but then i found out that microsoft edge's read aloud is actually really good. i know people dunk on it but damn, its actually pretty damn useful.

til calibre has voices

The second pitch accent sounds better to his gaijin ear.

>>46284656
if you think it's the pitch i got bad news for you

don't get why no one has trained a solid ai voice to read japanese i'd pay good money for it

>>46283654
I blame the damn ads at the end. I'm like "oh this looks like a cool title" and then the next thing you know I'm reading something else from the same publisher. All according to their keikaku of course

>>46284640

unless you actually live in japan and spend time talking to japanese people, watching japanese tv and variety shows and shit all the time and getting real immersion and exposure you are not going to really learn how japanese is meant to sound spoken outside of the overacted anime style

>>46284741
bro it's a simple misread not some esoteric pitch or style thing

Why is machine speech a topic that comes up so much here? Is it really how people are 'reading' their books?

>>46284800
I haven't listened to the audio so I assumed it was about pitch just from the conversation

da they are chimps

>>46284741
Modern fighting games are quite literally just arcsys reusing the same engine again and again, so you aren't missing out on much.

Is there a reading order anywhere for Kadono novels? It's daunting how they're all connected.

Still crazy to me that the Dendro manga is actually progressing past Franklin's Game.
I would've bet a good amount of money that it wouldn't.

cute drug addict

I can read!

>>46289280
Only like 3 grade levels below 99% of lightnovels.

how much vocab do i need to actually read anything. do i need to hit like 15k-20k before i dont have to look up every other word? it takes me so long to get through a single page

>>46288736
Might as well beg again.

Can someone please share vol. 8 (and onwards if possible). I thought cold turkey would get better but it only got worse

>>46289688
Really depends on what you read. If you stick to a same author or series, you will need to look up much less. Each author has words and phrases that they use often.
But that means once you start something new you'll have a lot more new stuff to look up and might get frustrated by that.
There are sites like JPDB where you can look up the range of words that are used in different books.

You can try listening to audiobooks while reading as a crutch if you have a hard time getting through books, but don't rely on it too much in the long term.

>>46289280
GMI!

>>46287669
Pretty fucking sure it concluded then.
Did they pick it up again? Feels so random out of the blue.

>>46289688
the shit about the first 2-3 grades of joyo kanji keeps getting parroted but it's true, with that you can read 50-70% of the kanji out there without stopping to check a dictionary
past that it fully relies on what you read, and you will have to learn what i can only call LN-genre-joyo for lack of a better word, for romcoms they have a set, for fantasy and action they have their set, for mystery thrillers they have their set, and so on
as another anon pointed out, it also depends on the author having their own set
this is less annoying than it sounds like however, because you only have to learn a common word once before it just sticks, and uncommon words like 3-4 times then it's smooth sailing
honestly the problem most of the time isn't vocab and stopping for a dictionary, but conjugations and things between the kanji, that's from where a lot of the depth comes from

>>46291175
You might be confusing it with the Crow Record spin-off. That was axed years ago and has no hope of coming back except as LN content, like vol 17 was and half of vol 22 will be.
The manga adaptation of the main story is still on the same erratic 1-2 month schedule it has been for years. It wrapped up Franklin's Game in January and entered the new arc just this Tuesday.

>>46291290
>Crow Record spin-off. That was axed years ago
well that sucks, juliet was cute and getting manga art was nice
always thought the TL got held hostage by some patreon group like always instead of it ending

Imouza is finally getting anime news later today.

>>46291290
I'm surprised the manga isn't rushing the plot that much like adaptations tend to do.
Franklin's Game seems like a pretty good season finale, so I wonder if it's finally going to get an anime adaptation now.

>>46289941
Don't have volume 8 but an anon in a previous thread shared volume 9-1.

Feels gud finally seeing this reach the 10 vol mark, most stuff doesn't manage to last that long regardless of how good or bad it is.

So this comes out next week. I bought 8.5 when it came out but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Is there anything important in it?

>>46294097
>097▶
>he doesn't know

>>46296220
there is nothing important in the entire series

For, Yopparai Touzoku, Dorei no Shoujo wo Kau, Novel updates shows a group named WN scans did like 70 chapters of it, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
didn't see it on lnwncentral but maybe im blind

Anyone has vol 2 onwards of 月が導く異世界道中?
I want to read the LN, but on nyaa I can only find vol 1 in epub format
If nowone has it, can you guide me on the easiest way to buy it in a way I can then rip the epub? (I want to read it on my ereader)

>Anons' lips, formed a “へ” character

Are there any anime that completely cover their corresponding light novel series?

It's been a while since I last encountered a series that made me stay up late at night. This makes me sad

>They’re cruelly looking at place like roof among other thing?[TL : 屋上とか連れて行かれてひどい目に会っちゃうよ？---too hard for my level now]
Holy shit are mtlfags actually this incompetent?
How do you get from "they are going to take you to the roof (to beat you up)?" to "they are cruelly looking at a roof among other things"

>>46300286
>Holy shit are mtlfags actually this incompetent?
anon... if they weren't incompetent then they wouldn't use mtl

>>46300411
I at least expect them to know English. "place like roof among other thing?" is not English.

>>46300286
pretty sure MTL would actually get it correct which is even sadder since it's a very simple sentence...

>>46300286
>>46300591
>throw it at deeptl for funsies
>it pops out "They'll take you up to the roof or something and hurt you badly."
>>>>>>>---too hard for my level now
that's just sad

>>46299143
pretty justified, i remember the author acting weird on twitter around that time so he may have had issues irl
wouldn't have surprised me if the story pretty much just got dropped there and then

>>46299634
Which?

>>46297498
it isn't on neither kobo or amazon?

Would you read an adult SAO spinoff about VR eroge?

>>46300286
>Look up from where is it.

>>46302118
unironically no, sounds boring
the cooking one sounds more interesting

>>46302173
;_; Why though?

There’s already so much cooking spinoff stuff. I think VR sexy times would be really cool.

>>46302118
I think me like most people avoid SAO and all it's derivatives unless for whatever retarded reason we plan on reading it from the start.
All fanfics are cancer and I've never understood why it is so popular in the west aside from eromanga doujins obviously.

>>46302217

>>46302217
>All fanfics are cancer and I've never understood why it is so popular in the west aside from eromanga doujins obviously.
Mostly a weird entitled "I can do better" attitude.
Which mind you, it's absolutely a thing in LNs too given literal genres have come to be thanks to that, the problem is the entitlement to someone else's characters, world and lore, in LNs seethefixes are just outright another series following similar steps (or taking from multiple series) instead of being a literal fanfic.

Bruh what are you talking about fanfiction for? Most of these projects are supervised by Reki there’s only canon or not canon,and they’re clearly marked as such, like SAO IF.

>>46302462

>>46302530
he wrote it

>>46302264
>Mostly a weird entitled "I can do better" attitude.
that is just not true lol
most fanfics are exactly what the descriptor suggests, fans that love a series so much that they try and start to write their own shit because they can't get enough of it or like to speculate about what if scenarios

Holy shit death march is BORING.

>>46302593
>Read SoL.
>It's slow and leisurely.

>>46302668
title? I don't know the abbreviation.

>>46302698
slice of life bro

death march has it's moment
but yeah it works better as an audiobook
same as isekai nonbiri nouka
it's not something you want to sit down and focus on reading but rather have it running in the background and listen in whenever a section catches your attention

>>46302734
oh I'm retarded. I'm not entirely against slice of life fantasy. Making magic was a novel that had the same slice of life fantasy setting with game elements thing going on but it was great. I think death march is just not up my alley I guess.

>>46302750
*moments

>>46302549
16.5 isn’t a spinoff it’s just a hidden chapter. It does sort of get acknowledged with the material edition numbering.

I am so triggered when i see some retard update the status of a WN on novelupdate with (completed) which makes me panic check syosetu and its not complete so i have to change it. Fuck whoever posted that I hope you run into a pack of feral pitbulls and they eat you.

>>46302954
whom the absolute fuck are thee speaking of

>>46302344
Is it fanfic or just cut content?

How does syosetu work? Do I have to pay/popup after I read a certain amount? Or is it up to the author to scam me half way in the middle of a story like royal road?

>>46303051
pretty much everything i hear about non-jp WN sites makes them sound even more comically awful
but no, i never had to pay for anything on narou, iirc you don't even need an account to browse nocturne

>>46303017
depends on how you see it, but by most definitions is technically cut content because yeah it kinda does get acknowledged

>>46302750
>>46302753
Yeah slow stuff isn't for everyone, and death march is s l o w.

>>46302217
>>46302227
Bro what on Earth are you talking about? What are you calling fan-fiction? Do you think I'm asking if the board wants to read my OCs or some shit? No-no,no,no,no-I mean an official spinoff. Like SAO Alternative Gourmet Seekers or SAO Alternative Gun Gale Online, both of these are canon because Kawahara is reading them and signing off on them. Even though GGO is taking a bit of a pause because it's running up on Unital Ring;in universe.
>>46302250
Sorry, but I read 4/5 of the UR books I ordered, and only have 40 pages left in book 5.
>>46302264
>>46302344
>>46302362
>>46302392
16.5 was written by Reki though, it was up on the website for years until he took it down, but honestly he may have just hidden it, the way people hide unlisted youtube videos.
>>46302530
I'm saying I desperately want him too. It doesn't need the main SAO cast.

>>46303259
>In a certain metropolitan, high-class apartment complex room
with closed curtains,
“Ah, this is so heart-pounding!”
A young woman said in breathless excitement.
She was standing nude in a very dim room. To her side was a
huge, close to 3 metre-long, cocoon-like mass.
“Now then.”
Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online Volume 2 – 2nd Squad Jam (I)
SECT.5 - The Beginning of the Tournament
161
After the woman held out her hands, a part of the huge cocoon
opened up. Inside, where red LEDs were shining, was a gooey,
40 cm-deep liquid.
This was a machine called an 《Isolation tank》── or a
《Floatation tank》.
In which one’s body was suspended in a liquid, highly
concentrated with salts and warmed to body temperature, and
once the tank closed and the lights were turned off, it became a
world where one could no longer feel sound, light, smell, touch,
nor even gravity.
It was a machine used for ultimate relaxation by cutting off all five
human senses to rest a tired body and mind, but, naturally, it was
also used for FullDive technology.
A normal AmuSphere cuts off almost all sensations too, but a wee
bit of noise was still transmitted.
By entering this isolation tank, the user could come close to
almost complete isolation. Thus, it was only natural for
serious players who wanted to be entirely in the game to desire a
device like this.
Such isolation tanks were installed in relaxation establishments
and net cafes as rentals, but the cheapest one would cost as much
as a Kei-car39, while expensive ones cost as much as a luxury car.
It was impossible for a player to install one at home unless they
were highly affluent.

“In that case, she’d be at an awful disadvantage later on. In the
battle at the station, didn’t that girl play an important role with
her bombardment?”
Some men were making a calm analysis like this,
“You keep calling them 〝girls〟, but it could be that they just look
young, but IRL both are women in their thirties? Are you still okay
with that?”
Another man mercilessly dumped cold water on him. And then,
“Ladies in their thirties? I’m still eighteen and a virgin, but on the
contrary, that’s just my type?”
And another young and brave man pointlessly talked about his
taste.
“Oi, wanna go to a VR eroge with me next time? If you truly are
over eighteen, I could take you along? You need a letter of
introduction for it after all.”
“Are you serious?”
“A man doesn’t go back on his word, ya know?”
“Let me call you 〝aniki〟!”7
“Alright! But, don’t you dare fall for me, ‘kay? I have no interest in
homosexuality, kay?”
“Get a room you guys!”
On the screen, Fukaziroh, who was actually a nineteen-year-old,
rapidly fired five grenades while face-up.

From here, the point is Reki read this before it went out I'm sure, so the world of SAO must have VRMMO eroge/VR bishoujo games.

I'd love a spinoff about it.

>>46303904
Most spinoffs aren't even made by the same author, they are fanfics, and even the ones (nominally) by the same author read like fanfics (GT being the prime example )

Read 剣と魔法と学歴社会 out of curiosity after seeing it on bookwalker's promising ln rankings. There isn't really anything particularly remarkable about it, but it is very very entertaining nevertheless. It's been a while since an LN made be pull an all-nighter

>>46305187
what is it

>>46305187
Well, 4 or 5 months between v1 and v2 isn't short. That's the standard for any consistent writer.
I liked v1 so I will buy this one too.

Not exactly related to LNs but did something happened to jp publication industry recently? There is suddenly a rise of adult manga with the especially idiotic censorship by black boxes since last month. Only sqex used to do that before

>>46306320

>open up a perfectly normal ore twintail thread on /a/

Holy kek it's all one person samefagging.

>He still thinks anyone gives a fuck about his kindergarten sl/a/pfights.

>>46309882
I don't suppose that was ever really in doubt considering they do the exact same in /a/ isekai threads

>>46309948
Perhaps, but the fact that in a completely separate thread about a specific novel with no OP keywords (it's literally just a pic of tail blue with "flat") somehow there is a chain of replies all posting the exact same delusions and obsession with meccha and level 9999 gacha that keep getting posted both in /jp/ LN general and in /a/ is both an indication that it's just the one terminally online schizo who couldn't resist replying to himself, as well as being just incredibly fucking funny.

>>46309992
can't remember the last time i saw either of those get discussed either here or the isekai general tho, and i'm also terminally online even if i have to phonepost
even the guy begging for the gacha epubs seemed to leave it to the ritualposter
u ok bro?

>>46310038
I mean, it's not my fault your memory doesn't go back more than 3 weeks. I'm guessing he sperged out after getting filtered because on a quick archive check he's still actively posting the same tinfoil hat delusions in /a/ (most recently in a mato seihei no slave thread just yesterday).
But this is getting off topic, I'll drop it here. Back to ranobe I guess.

>>46310110
>I mean, it's not my fault your memory doesn't go back more than 3 weeks
i take offense to that, my memory limit here it's actually a week, i don't care to remember farther back than that due to the transient nature of the website
but why are you trying to stalk people on the archives anon?
also why would someone hate rando ass edgy schlock but watch shit like mato slave?

>>46309882
>>46309992
>>46310110
You're not even doing your stalking properly, I'm 99.99% sure you're talking about the dictionary schizo and he resides on /v/, not on /a/ or here though he either posts here or the pasta is spreading.
He's also been extremely active recently on Unicorn Overlord threads praising the game and shitting on the localization for ruining it while also shitting on Fire Emblem and spreading his Kadokawa meme for whatever reason.
It's just fucking bizarre.
>>46310158
>also why would someone hate rando ass edgy schlock but watch shit like mato slave?
I have seen him defend JJK before while complaining about the viz localization on that, wouldn't surprise me if he likes Mato too.
He doesn't go on his dictionary spiels while defending JJK but the posting style is literally identical, it couldn't be more obvious even if they intentionally tried.

>>46310260
hold the fuck up, THAT fucking loon is a shounenshitter? AND also a gay gay kay tard?
the jokes literally write themselves holy fuck

>>46310301
Next time you see him give it a try if you don't believe me, try reply to him insulting JJK even if it's a non-sequitur on /v/, you will either get ignored because he's too busy seething about da joo conspiracy or he will stop seething about that to go full melty on you.

>>46310260
You're probably better informed than me, I don't browse /v/, so I only see what he posts here and in /a/ where he seems to have picked up a grudge against jewnovel as well for whatever reason. He has posted FE webms here as well, so I suppose that's a crossover from there.
Okay, not replying to this topic anymore for real this time.

anyway, let's move on from this topic
what are you guys reading right the fuck now in japanese?

Some of these I already read in my seanig language years and years ago so the nostalgia is a good motivator to keep going
>light novels
in English I'm reading Grieving Souls since the anime was announced, almost done with volume 2. It's decent enough to keep me reading, but I like the concept better when it's done with characters like Flashman and HERO OF THE IMPERIUM Cain who are actually competent and insightful in their own way which simply doesn't match the view of everybody around them, compared to Krai who seems to actually have no clue what the hell is going on 99.9% of the time. I'm still enjoying it though.

>>46310719
Oh no it's not really a pacing thing, I also think the pacing is actually really good, but I don't like chugging anything in one go, I usually juggle a handful of LNs/games/etc.
I only binge when something really grips my attention like Arifureta did years ago, but even then I like taking my time, it helps me not get burnt out on anything in particular.

>A schizo latched on to 2 of my favorite series.
Being an edgekino enjoyer is suffering.
But still, using those as an anti.loc argument is rather stupid, haven't read the former but I did read the gacha TL because of content not in the WN (and nobody has shared the raws) and the translation is fine, and if anything given it at least tries to localize honorifics instead of removing them puts it a step ahead even the dendro and TRPG ones, which IIRC have no honorifics yet they are considered the golden standard even here.
And while exaggerated, the speech quirks of everyone come across just fine, it's far from the universal deadpan monotone of an actually bad TL.
7S and YP are far worse still, if not both mushoku and COTE before the de-censorship then evil lord and kagejitsu are still better anti-loc arguments.

how's the anime adaptation btw? i keep procrastinating on watching anime and from the PVs at least it doesn't look like "quality" shit tier

search "jnc" in the /a/rchive and like 90% of the results from the past couple of months are the same posting style pushing the narrative that they're now as bad as soipress and it's all traceable to the moment the schizo got mindbroken by the infinite gacha tl

>>46310515
decided to pick up 豚のレバーは加熱しろ because people keep insisting it's not a meme, this better be worth it

>>46304613
Wait, what's the current consensus on SAO anyway? I remember people liked it, then when it got an anime and got popular people shat on it for the gary stu MC, then when anitubers started shitting on it for the same thing people looped back around to liking it again.
Personally I haven't read it since halfway through the Underworld arc because I just lost interest. I would actually prefer if Kawahara would get back to writing Isolator.

>>46313972
depends on who you ask
normalfags still hate it and think it's the source of all the world's evils
nu-hipsters like it but haven't read it
and here over the last year or so i have seen what boils down to "i like it and it's pretty good/i don't like it and it's shit, but talking about it unironically is basically impossible" depending on the person

>>46310879
That's just Chloe von Einzbern.

Here: files.catbox.moe/xoweqd.epub

>>46294230
Thanks a lot anon. Might have to bite the bullet and buy vol 8

>>46312932
It only adapts the first volume. As someone that started from the anime I thought the characters were really charming and that the anime did well with casting and characters designs, the quality is fine but after the fighting breaks at Lithia and battles start happening in sequence the animation does feel a bit lackluster.
I started reading after episode 6 and lost some interest in the anime after that, but that always happen when I read a series that is airing. You might have a different experience if it has been some time since you read vol 1.

>>46313818
What is there to meme about a yandere chasing her beloved till the end of the Earth?
Unrelated, but does anyone have the new Lycoris Recoil volume? Don't know if I want to read unless there is any new yuri content from there.

Who in their right mind would read that slop long after it's cultural relevance has waned?

>>46324767
Why would you read anything for the "cultural relevance" instead of personal enjoyment?

>>46325329
Because as a human "personal enjoyment" is inextricably tied to social enjoyment.

>>46325362
my condolences on your existence

>>46325362
Uh this thread is full of people who read books in a foreign language for pleasure. I don't think there's much in terms of "social enjoyment" especially not for anything that's not well-known.

>>46325405
>>46325409
Then fuck off. 4chan is social media.

>>46324767
>cultural relevance
what the fuck? the original series that got adapted and kizu were good and iirc the adaptions actually closely followed the source material which is rare. unless the newer stuff turned the series into a dumpster fire i don't know what you're talking about

>>46325570
>were good
Freudian slip?

>>46325678
ESL?

>>46325694
"Were good" implies that they are not currently good. Nobody cares about monogatari anymore. Not in japan nor the west. You are doing nothing but wasting your life by reading side stories, you won't be exposed to new ideas or trends in the lightnovel space. It's like still reading haruhi in 2024

>>46325792
So ESL.

>>46325792
>"Were good" implies that they are not currently good.
No it doesn't ESL friend. The past tense state of being was chosen because it is a work that happened in the past. No deeper meaning than that. People commonly say things like "X movie was good" in this way. It does not imply that the movie is no longer good, but simply that it was an event in the past. Nothing more.

>>46325808
>>46325812
You can read monogatari at any time, yet you chose to was "were good" rather than still good in a conversation about continued cultural relevance. You seem to be coping.

>>46325837
You should pick up some classic British novels and brush up on your understanding of the language. Try "Great Expectations". It was pretty good.

for me i would recommend the count of monte christo, if it had illustrations it would straight up be a LN

Not an argument

>>46325971
Argument?
You seem confused.

I think the fantasy romance stuff I've read has broadly been a bit better than the slice of life/isekai books but I'm definitely getting to a point now where I can read book 1 and tell immediately what's going to happen for most of the rest of the series.

Reading the first few chapters of death march like 5 or 6 years ago has made me swear off slice of life.
I come into every light novel with less than 0 expectations and I was still disappointed.
MT? no problem
arefutera? What's that
kumo ga? LOL
death march. FUCK ME DUDE THIS SHIT SUCKS

>>46327727

Any good childhood friend betrayal karma story?

>>46334711
偽・聖剣物語 is just 2 retard CFs being horrible people to each other and getting their just deserts over and over and it's hilarious.

>>46327788
Shiro comes up with a plan to free the angel for Ariel but D intervenes and just gives max taboo to the whole planet.
Shiro and Guiliguli ends up fighting with power boost from prayers of everyone in the world, like a final fight with the power of friendship.
Meanwhile D meets the humans and propose a deal. If they manage to scratch her, she'll just save everyone for free.
They were losing but Shiro manages to shake off Guliguli, teleport tot hem and slash D with her scythe.
D begrugingly accepts her loss, undoes the system, frees Sariel and restore her enough to spend tiem with Ariel.
The humans get away with everything, then we get some epilogue about all the main cast
Sonia basically becomes a regular vampire hiding in a manor.
The oni guy dies.
Ariel spent the rest of he life with Sariel
Guli stays as a planet guardian but less edgy now
Others are glossed over or are said to have never been seen again.
Shiro gets taken by D as a live-in maid

>>46335317

>>46335349
ln = light novel, it is the threads topic so you are expect to know about them.
fast = https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fast
protagonist = mc

>>46334780
I already followed the manga. I want something crueler e.g. the childhood friend hangs herself/MC forced her to have an abortion/throw herself off from her apartment/her saying sorry before MC cut her in half/etc. The more excessive the revenge is, the better. Non fantasy setting is fine.

>>46334711
the manga about a guy going back in time wanting to rape his CF named Anna is the only one that comes to mind.

>>46334780
that's a novel? the paneling on that is so fucked i thought it was a manga original

Normalfags let youtubers do all their thinking for them. In the past it was Mother's Basement,a channel run by a fat ugly canadian being cucked by his OF whore of a girlfriend,and now it's that podcast trash taste. Ironically, the anon above who called SAO fans nigger cattle is the most cattle like of all.
>>46313972
It's good, people complain about SAO ina completely unsubstantiated way:It stole from dothack,its a bad game,its a harem;
>.Hack was not first, Reki published an SAO ero-manga in a 2000 issue of BugBug magazine under the alias Mario Ayashi,the protagonists even still named Kirito and Asuna
>SAO was inspired by games like Ultima Online, Wizardy,and Ragnarok Online, lots of the mechanics of those games made their way into the show, it's Millenials and Zoomers faults if they think every MMORPG is WoW or FFXIV
>faggot cuckold complaint;also could be a roasty.

Bottom line,SAO may not be the best LN ever written,but in terms of "Gamer" literature and LNs it has to be near the top. Log Horizon and it's obsession with politics is boring. Overlord is overpowered just like Saitama but played completely straight. SAO is really enjoyable.

>>46340991
>if you don't like sao you must be a youtuber/redditor/soicuck/beta/libtard/alex jones supporting/kanye ball gargling/kike/chud/tranny/hitler

It's not even top 1000 in terms of mmovrpg. Get your head out of your ass.
>b-b-but it wuz da first
No it wasn't, there were plenty of stories like it on usenet and it wasn't published as a lightnovel until 2009, by then there were already much better webnovels like moonlight sculpture that didn't rely on forced drama.

>>46340991
>,but in terms of "Gamer" literature
what is that even supposed to mean
also imo accel world was better than early sao, gun stuff was average and it only got "holy fuck this is good" by I'M GONNA ALICE

>>46341028
It was published as a web novel in 2001,try again bucko.
>>46341040
Well, its hard to define, but you've got things like Log Horizon,Overlord,and SAO that are about Games as a form of isekai,and then isekai that use game mechanics like Tensei Slime,and funny parodies like KonoSuba.
>That spoiler
Understandable, Early SAO was his first major work,it gets better as you go along,I thought GGO arc was OK,but it gave us SAOAGGO from a writer that really loves guns,as someone who dabbles in FPS, Sigsawa is a godsend.

>>46341674

I'd as I said I've read vmmorpg stories in the 90s on usenet shortly after everquest came out.

>>46302118
Only if we have another main character that solves shit from the outside instead of just relying on players that trapped inside the antagonist's game. You don't get the upper hand just by playing along with his creation.

This is probably a long shot, but does anybody know of any 癒し系 and/or 恋愛 LNs with a heavy focus on nature? Preferably a rural/countryside setting but I can live with something more urban. Fantastical elements are also OK if it happens to have any. I know it's vague, but I'm mainly just looking for that sort of feeling you get when you look at natural beauty but in 小説 form.

>>46343116
Sure, here are a few light novels (LN) that fit your criteria:

"Natsume's Book of Friends" (夏目友人帳) by Yuki Midorikawa: While not primarily a romance LN, it has elements of both healing (癒し系) and romance intertwined with a heavy focus on nature. The story follows Natsume Takashi, who can see spirits and inherits a book from his grandmother that contains the names of spirits bound by contracts. He embarks on a journey to free these spirits while forming bonds with both humans and yokai (supernatural creatures). The series beautifully explores themes of loneliness, friendship, and the beauty of nature.

"Spice and Wolf" (狼と香辛料) by Isuna Hasekura: This LN series combines elements of romance, economics, and fantasy with a strong focus on nature. Set in a medieval fantasy world reminiscent of Europe, it follows the travels of a traveling merchant named Kraft Lawrence and a pagan wolf deity named Holo, who takes the form of a young girl with wolf ears and a tail. As they journey through picturesque landscapes, they develop a deep bond while engaging in adventures and unraveling mysteries.

"Kino's Journey: The Beautiful World" (キノの旅 -the Beautiful World-) by Keiichi Sigsawa: This LN series follows the travels of a young adventurer named Kino and their talking motorcycle, Hermes, as they explore various countries and cultures. Each chapter features a self-contained story, often reflecting on philosophical themes such as human nature, society, and morality. The narrative often showcases the beauty of nature in different settings, from tranquil countryside villages to bustling urban landscapes.

"Wolf Children: Ame and Yuki" (おおかみこどもの雨と雪) by Mamoru Hosoda: While not a light novel in its original form, it was adapted into one. The story revolves around a young woman named Hana who falls in love with a mysterious man who can transform into a wolf. After his tragic death, Hana raises their two children, Ame and Yuki, who inherit their father's ability to transform. The novel beautifully portrays the struggles and joys of raising children in the countryside while exploring themes of identity, family, and the bond between humans and nature.

These light novels should provide you with the calming, natural beauty you're seeking, along with elements of romance and fantasy. Enjoy your reading!

I have never seen more than 2 loops work in a story.
With just one or two it's easy to ride "Oh I know what will happen, until I don't" for a while.
Three or more and you may as well go endless loops and go for the detachment route of seeing people as NPCs.

If they’re really trying to give Char a 3rd chance then it doesn’t look good. Minerva barely did anything this volume; it’s basically just been introduction and “sasuga Hermes-sama” so far.

wasn't this the one supposedly written to right the wrongs of hundred?
how did that go?

>>46364603
>wasn't this the one supposedly written to right the wrongs of hundred
that's just a meme i made up stemming from femc being a claire clone, though it is true that ookuma himself was pissed about hundred. the faggot author is even preventing him from doing more claire art

>>46364603
>>46364627
Have those seethefix stories ever worked?

>>46364640
I'd argue Masou HxH, saijaku bahamut and magika no kenshi all worked as a proper fixes to IS, in one way or another

>>46364661
>IS invented military academy shenanigans
pretty sure stuff like hidan no aria predates IS and even then that in turn was a genre from VNs that FSN was already putting a twist on

>>46364686
I never said it did. read what i wrote again and whi replied to

>>46364740
you're implying IS invented the genre anon, it didn't

>>46364810
Reading comprehension is your friend.
anon asked if seethefix stories ever worked>>46364640
i answered >>46364661
Where do i say anything about IS inventing a genre?

>>46364823
Nah you're stretching the definition of seethefix too much, I'm talking about this sort of stuff that's functionally a fanfic to fix the original but but some things changed to be legally distinct.
Not things that are just vaguely similar.

>>46364856
you mean >>46364810 is stretching it
> I'm talking about this sort of stuff that's functionally a fanfic to fix the original but but some things changed to be legally distinct.
Yeah thats exactly how i understood it

>>46364886
Then why did you mention those examples when they aren't like IS when you get down to it? Even rakudai and asterisk have more parallels and even then half of them like the class princess tsundere was a pretty common archetype by then, same with the MC walking into her while in a varied state of undress, one weirdly specific scene that still gets used to this day mind you.

>>46364910
>those examples when they aren't like IS when you get down to it?
well this is where we disagree. all three of the aforementioned except magika do the same premise (1 guy in an all girls mech school), magika just drops the mechs for magic swords. sure magika might be the loosest of the 3, but in the case of hxh and bahamut you would have to choose to not see it. one has a literal chifuyu clone and mirrors the setting of IS with an apocalyptic invader twist, the other has a cecilia clone and near identical exosuit designs to IS. the differences in the overall plot aren't strong enough to negate such obvious parallels

>>46364910
>>46365050
and if you're going to argue against that, then Hundred is CLEARLY not a seethefix story, since it has even less in common with IS overall

>>46365050
>>46365063
i don't think you're understanding the original point in the first place, and at this point i don't care
i just wanted to know if the blonde oujou got treated better this time and you're turning it into some asinine debate

What are you talking about? It wouldn’t be a trap,it’s about a dude boinking in the ultimate version of an eroge.

>>46364640
the starship troopers movie is a seethefix of the starship troopers book, so yes

anyone have epubs for v6 onwards of クロの戦記 ?

Apparently this is getting an anime, which is kinda funny considering how long V5 has been in limbo for.

>>46366623
is the anime date already out or is it a "soon" like evil lord or schizoman with no real date

>>46366889
Seems like for now they’ve just registered wajutsushi-anime.com so see you in a decade I guess

>>46366623
Which will come first, kagejitsu 7 or talker 5?

Just finished rereading MT webnovel after dropping it in 2016 around the time pernicious was introduced. I regret to say I was correct, or rather I regret having read it.
What the actual fuck was that retarded ass shit. Imagine spending half the series telling the audience what will happen and then slowly doing it while repeating what has and will happen.
Honestly the novel died when he met hirogami, what a lame ass shit antagonist.

>>46384069
>pernicious
Perugius

If you are a redoer what is a better stratgy.
Following original path, but speedrunning it (and doing sidequests in the downtime)
Or trying to craft a perfect future.

Anyone know any good trpg replays? Except for the lodoss ones

>>46384485
C. Finding a way to stop the loop before I go crazy

>>46384485
trying to follow the original plot in any story never works
i have unironically never seen it work, if it doesn't end up with the MC triggering some butterfly effect shit due to doing something small, the MC outright does something big and plot changing
and if he doesn't, then someone else also on the loop/isekai will start changing things instead
it's safer to just speedrun what you know

>>46388607
Take your meds fat retard. I didn't ask.

Call for help, cannot find the デジタル・デビル・ストーリー 女神転生 novels (interested in at least the basic trilogy written by 西谷 史). They are still for sale second hand but a bit too expensive.

For which RPG, are you looking novelized or session transcripts?

Regarding porn. I already exhausted everything in syosetu that might interest me.

>>46390261
Transcripts, preferably late 1990's and early 2000's

Which is the best Hajime's wife?

>>46396582
It's mandatory to say Yue but the princess was my favorite.
With Kaori being the worst.

>>46396663
The worst is Remia: litereal has no identity aside being Myu's mom and that's the only reason she was added to the harem.
She is also the only one who has not an arc in after story, proving how irrelevant this character is.

>>46396582
for me it's yaegashi
seconding the worst was the fish

>>46396987
This. Shizuku is the most multifaceted and well written: is the only one of all Nagumo wives who fell in love with him in a really progressive and organic way.
Also, is the chilhood friend of the Hero and Hajime stealing her from him without even trying was the ultimate humilliation to this character

>>46396663
Yue is a shit: she is like a doll who is fine with everything Hajime does and says

>>46397070
>Yue is a shit: she is like a doll who is fine with everything Hajime does and says
that's how a good woman should act

>>46397103

>>46397070
>progressive
Eh the word was poisoned too much, can't take the argument seriously.
While shizu is unique within the context of nagumo's onaholes, that's all there is really.
Guess there's also the appeal of a borderline tomboy acting like a pure maiden in love but eh.
Once the dickwaving of muh good writing starts I just can't take anything seriously, it's not hard to just say you want to fuck her the most anon.

>>46397337
>the word was poisoned too much
it's niggers like you that are the reason why 'whitelist/blacklist' and "master" are now wrongthink words

>>46397358
I would agree if you weren't playing into it directly with your point about yue.
Now go back to the kitchen sis, 4chan is for males only.

shizuku is a hot cumslut

arifureta just knows how to activate my dopamine receptors
i fucking love the scene in volume 4 where hajime intevenes in fight with the female demon
i've rewatched the anime like five times over the past few years and no matter how badly executed and shitty most of it is, that scene always does it for me

>>46397514
it's actually weird to see how autistic the author was about the anime and yet the adaptation was still shit

I love black summoner but fuck man the parts where he talks about memories from his past life that he shouldn't fucking have just completely take me out.

But tio is the fucking worst, easily.

>>46397636
to be fair amnesia seems to be one of those things that can't be written well regardless of how much someone tries
at least those scenes were either kept to a minimum or sometimes used for plot

At some point I accepted black summoner is just DBZ with extra steps and my weenor started rising every time someone did some kino big attack, so I just started reading it again from the start with this new mindset and had a much better time.
Can't even call it "brain off" because I still care about the plot and the lore, it simply stopped bothering me, dunno how to call this technique but it's pretty useful.

yup, it checks out. it's forever funny to me watching contrarions trying to convince 4chan that series that blew up on 4chan first are actually normie bait.

>>46399492

>>46399283
>>46399441
From my personal experience within otaku fandoms there's three particular fanbases that do nothing but circlejerk how mature they are for reading shit written by mature adults by a large margin compared to any other
>"Seinen" manga readers.
>VNfags, 07fags in particular.
>MANime animeonlys, and the overlap with animeonly mechafags.
If you think people getting oddly defensive of honzuki and MT here are elitist you haven't seen SHIT.

>>46400000
honzukifags don't even claim their shit is mature though, it's a book for literal schoolchildren. at least on 4chan(nel), i don't give a shit what normalfags on reddit think of it

>>46400000
>07fags in particular
uminekofags you mean
they are the FNAFfags or undertalefags of VNs at this point

Did anyone read the webnovel? Is it a good kagejitsu ripoff?

>>46397854
>But tio is the fucking worst, easily.
Pretty agree. She's just a copy of Darkness, but without her tries to hide is a masochistoc, which is what made Darkness funny. With Tío the only joker is "I'm a pervert and I like anal haha"
But still is better than Remia, at least has more identity than that

>>46399283
Don't judge all VN fans. Moebutas are the only ones who shit on other media and genres.

>>46400000
>you haven't seen SHIT
>>46400124
>i don't give a shit what normalfags on reddit think of it
Both of you are clearly talking to a newfag from there or elsewhere. He might be the guy who keeps chimping out on /a/ about MT (and now Honzuki)

>read western fantasy web novel
>character starts talking about wypipo and colonization
>goes on some tirade which is obviously the author preaching their political beliefs

It's pretty one pattern, but if you like that pattern it's fun.

>localizes regal japanese dialecs to shakespeare tier 'ye' fuckery
Why? like i get that learning jp is best to avoid this, but i'm genuinely lost as to why any translator would do this. This was a fantran no less, not even the usual YP/SS hackery

>>46404418
I see, I will give it a try.

>>46404617
Probably because the character is speaking in some archaic manner and the translator is trying to convey that.

>>46404617
ye olde englishe le funni XD

>>46404617
Because in English the archetypical "regal" style is Victorian era WE ARE NOT AMUSED.
>This was a fantran no less
Why do you think being a fan translation magically makes the TL any more likely to have a style that matches your exact tastes?

>>46404687
Because beggars should be allowed to choose and bitch about the shit they are given.
And they shouldn't be criticized for not doing anything on their own to alleviate the issue they are having since that requires time and effort.

>>46404662
>>46404677
For context, i'm taliking about Kuro no Senki. every page with the fucking minotaur guy is in just takes me out of it.
>>46404687
In my experience this seems far more common among localizers
>>46404694
I guessed you missed the part where i already said it's best to learn jp to avoid this.... I'm only asking why this is a thing because what little i know of japanese tells me this just cant be right.

>>46404694
>Because beggars should be allowed to choose and bitch about the shit they are given.
this but unironically, it's called criticism
it used to be a thing in the past everyone accepted just fine, and more often than not people even translated the same thing multiple times by different groups

>>46404706
Just post some actual Japanese text. Having characters that legitimately speak in archaic styles is a really common thing. Whether or not the localization you are describing is a reasonable attempt can be determined from there.

>>46404730
Okay, i'll see if i can find v1

>>46404723
>it's called criticism
Truly a lost art. you cant comment on anything anymore without some emotional fag either pocketwatching or trying to make you out to be the problem.

top 3 best ln

>>46404662
Translations should evolve with the times. As an example, Centorea from Monster Musume has a ye olde English style in the Seven seas official translation. Their basis for this was that she usually spoke politely and occasionally used archaic words like -dono when talking. Being polite with a few quirky words would have suited her far better.

>>46405548
>Translations should evolve with the times
disgusting apologist

>>46405548
>Being polite with a few quirky words would have suited her far better.
Fucking this. less is more here. This also applies to Nanao from nanatsu. they've toned the shakespere down in the more recent volumes and it makes quite the difference.
>>46405560

Give me your top 5 but without giving me the first and second place.

>>46405624
>they've toned the shakespere down in the more recent volumes and it makes quite the difference.
Good.
Haven't had to rely on TLs for a few years now but every time I did you could tell the faux-sharkpear tone when dealing with fancy keigo was just the localizer tryharding way too much.
It's even worse when they do the usual of having the character talk with ye old english but as a pissant instead of actual high-class language.
I may impress simpletons that don't know how ancient english actually works but if you have even passing knowledge of it, it quickly becomes really fucking dumb.

>>46405624
>Nanao from nanatsu
No she does actually talk full-on archaic language. It's more than just a ござる here and there. But in this instance making her dialogue "Shakespeare" isn't the correct move because her manner of speech is meant to convey that she's a foreigner (i.e. Japanese). I don't know how you would localize it.

Now that the thread is ded nobody will notice I said the worst one was shizu because she was just too poorly shoehorned in to not leave her out.
