The Empty Box and Zeroth Maria (light novel)
| 1, 3, 4 and 7 are all masterpieces to me. I guess 1 wins for creativity, 3 + 4 for enjoyment value and 7 for writing level |
  |
| I hold 1 and 7 at the top since they both emotionally touched me hard. Then I think I would take 5-6, 2 and then 3-4. I have no real good motivation for my choices more than 1 and 7 just simply worked and piqued my interests. |
| 7>1>(3+4)>(5+6)>2 7 was a emotional roller coaster, I couldn't have asked for a better ending. Very satisfying. Volume 1 was what got me addicted to the series, does a great job of pulling the reader in and making you want to read more. 3+4 I found the survival game quite enjoyable, seeing how people act when they are forced into a death game was great. Also the start of Kazu's change. 5+6 I had a hard time rooting for Kazu sometimes, he was completely blind and only focused on saving Maria. His character basically does a 180 personality wise.. Was on the fence if it was a good thing or bad thing. At least he wasn't hiding behind Maria anymore. Volume 2 was the weakest of the series. Wasn't really interested in what the story was telling.. But it did deepen the bond between Maria and Kazu which is good and and was needed. |

| Either 1 and 7. Vol 1 has the best twist handling and narration, while vol 7 is an emotional roller coaster with an amazing ending. |
| Its a tie between Vol 1 because it was good enough to keep me interested(which is difficult for me in regards to any LN) and vol 7 for the closure. |
 |
| Like most people, I'm torn between the first and the last volume for reasons already stated by others. Volume 1 keeps you at the edge of the seat by throwing one twist after the other at you, whereas volume 7 is just a beautiful end to the series. At the end of the day, though, I think I like the first volume the most. It's more down-to-earth than the other volumes, and everything's still fresh. Personally, I'm also very fond of the third volume. It has some logic flaws, but it's one of my favorite death games. 1 > 7 > 3 > 4 > (2 = 5) > 6 |
| 1,3,4,7 1=7>3=4 1 was awesome, best mindblown 7 was awesome, the writing lvl and emotional 3 and 4 are mind game, pretty interesting and very entertaining. |
 |
| 7th is the best for me, perfect roller coaster |
 |
| Not including the final volume, 1 & 6 are the best imo. 2 was great until the part with Daiya beating Kazuki but after that was done, everything was ....meh. |
 |
| IMO its 1>7>5>6>4>3=2 |
 |
| 1 >= 5 > 7 > 6 > 3 > 4 >2 On a two-volume long arc I generally prefer the establishment volume compared to the conclusion. 1 is still the best experience, 5 has the most personal enjoyment for me. 7 has third place for the trip to insanity. |
| 6 or 7. 7 was really fucking mental. As for 6, I hated Daiya's and Maria's reasons for their actions/objectives, so I was really satisfied when Kazuki rekt both of them, although it was sad to see him lose his sanity along the way. 6 also finished the tragic past of Daiya/Kokone/Haruaki/Rino, and revealed a lot more about the "side characters". 4 was also really good, felt really bad for Kamuichi even if he was an asshole |

| Survival game arc (11/10)> Cinema arc (10/10) > Rejecting Classroom arc (9/10) = Flawed Bliss arc (9/10) > Sevennight in Mud arc (7/10). The survival game arc was godly. Same goes for the Cinema arc. Ending was fucking good, and when the first volume gets rolling, it's hard to stop reading. |
 |
| 7>1>5=6>3=4>2 for me |
 悲しい… 悲しいわ… 今日のこと、「お月さま」にも教えてあげないと。 あなたも… 私 “たち” の中に… 取り込んであげる。 |
| Volume 7 was easily the best, no doubt about that. For me it would be... 7 > 6 > 1 > 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 |
 |
| Ahh it's really hard to choose. Vol.5 and 6 are my favorites. Kasuki's transformation after the Kingdom Royale was amazing. |

| Nothing beats Vol 1 imo, 7 came close but the way the author tortured Kazuki for no reason irked me a lot i thought i hated 2 but 6 is most annoying, i dont like Daiya, should've grew Kazuki more instead of bringing in an emo character like him |
