Hmm I was expecting Full Metal Panic Another vol 12 to break 20k. Zero no Tsukaima's comeback seems to be doing quite well, nice. Also kinda interesting to see Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki in top 10 this week. |

Meritas said: Oh definitely, it's much more of fantasy adventure with some factional disputes thrown into it. I'd say it's closer to something like Akatsuki no Yona except with the gender distribution reversed. Well plus some ecchi of course, but it's generally kept pretty separated from the serious parts of it so it's fine which is more than I can say for Highschool DxDHaXXspetten said: You mean there's something besides the usual harem rom-com in this story?

NaturalPerm said: More than half of these titles are Isekai or thrown into MMO stuff. Variety isn't popular for LNs at the moment. That just tells you what is popular at the moment and looking at a list of 31 light novel (konosuba alone taking 8 places from this list) isn't a good indicator how much variety LNs have at the moment as a whole. |

KonoSuba vol1 crossed 100k, good anime boost. Arifureta selling 23k, lol. The series goes into gutter deeper with each volume. Not a surprise tho that it's selling well. |

Shouldn't be surprising that Zero no Tsukaima sold that much. Zero no Tsukaima was the best selling series from MF Bunko J during 2005-2010 period with 6.6 million copies in print as of now. Before the series went hiatus, a new volume was able to sell above 50k in the first week and so always ranked first during the weekly chart. |

@NeoAnkara It really depends on the series. You and well many people might not like them but what you're saying is quite wrong as well. If there's the one thing the current tensei/isekai series have going for them is definitely the diversity. It's exactly because of that imo that so many of them are popular. Also the thing you mentioned about wanting to get back....is simply not true, most of them in fact have the opposite goal or have a completely different one, even in the begining ,like take something amusing as: Ouroboros Record MC here is simply too afraid of death. He died and got reincarnated but it seemed to be a terrifying experience which left him with a trauma. So even if he got reincarnated once MC has no idea if it'll happen again so he wants to attain immortality at all costs no matter what or who must be sacrificed. For that purpose he starts dabbling in alchemy begining his research at a young age, followed by lots of schemes and intrigues. Or for example lets take some of the series from this weeks list: Yomigaeri no Maou World Teacher Isekai Tensei Soudouki Magi Craft Meister The plot , MC's/cast , their age, motives, style almost everything is completely different.(Magi for example is mostly a crafting type, speaking of which there are tons of isekai/tensei crafting stories and town management ones as well with totally different aspects) Even one of the newly published series from todays list which is mildly adventure/kinda lighthearted/parody is still quite different from the rest. Jaryuu Tensei: Isekai Ittemo Ore wa Ore A series where a middle-aged salaryman MC who after buying lottery tickets gets hit by car and the last scene he sees is a kissing couple inside of it(kek rekt by life). So after getting reincarnated as a dragon(a real one yes) he lives deep inside the forest(almost peacefully) with some slimes that he is protecting. After some of them are killed by the invading demons he massacres them in return and goes after the demon lord...and so on. Now I'm not even going to list those with multiple or female MC's, survival/military,cooking type isekai/tensei series, or heck some of the really disturbing ones. But while there definitely are some copy/pasted series, the one thing I can say about the 'genre' for sure is that it's variety is regardless, still huuge. Also wew that Konosuba domination. When it was first announced I definitely didn't expect the above results. |

@barmar It's not like there are lack of diversity it just that their initial goal is the same at first most of the time. That's mostly the case for the one that are send there not reborn though. There are also the concept of "cheat" that I don't like and an example here on the list is Arifureta that I've read. And there are some I like as well like Zero no Tsukaima, Ikai Shinki to Reunion and certainly there is more. Just personal preference that I would have them to be flat out fantasy from the start. |

Highest threshold in quite a while this week from what I can tell. If the sales are keeping up it could be back on there again next week as there aren't any big names out. That said, there are several things that could get around 10k sales, which are (unusually) skewed towards the start of the week, and the MF Bunko J releases will still be up there, so I wouldn't bet on it |

@NeoAnkara Eh not really,there are tons cases of being transported for instance Risou No Himo Seikatsu Seiun wo Kakeru where the mc has neither cheats/power nor is their goal the same as say Arifureta's(even at first). All they have is just their knowledge from the previous world. Which reminds me Ochitekita Naga to Horobiyuku Majo no Kunifrom the list, should fall under that category as well.(and this is even a 'senki' type series and a good one at that, despite the synopsis). But yea I do see your point in general about fantasy. There are a quite few series that I also think would've worked better as just a fantasy series from the begining. |
