This if you are interest.@NeoAnkara WN or not has nothing to do with anything here (there are some awesome former WN out there). They're novels, no matter where they're published first. If you look at his profile and how many characters from LN are in his favourites, it's pretty obvious Alex is joking here anyway. http://www.novelupdates.com/series/hokuou-kizoku-to-moukinzuma-no-yukiguni-karigurashi/ |

NeoAnkara said: AkeHomu said: There are lot of WN translator that have Patreon but I remember that there are also those who refuse to get paid for doing translation. I guess it's just matter of preference and what is the goal of doing it at the start.It's great for him. Yeah but I suppose that some of the translators should have more dedication. They are groups like "Wuxiaworld" or "Volarenovels" (for chinese novels thought), which are composed of translators, which release one chapter per day or even more (without break). I think that's the model to be more effective. But again, I think that if people invest a little more (even with one third of readers with only one dollar by person (500 dollars a month for 1500 readers)), other groups of this kind will be formed and translate even more novels without waiting for them to be licensed just to buy them at the end (even though they could be read for free). Another thing is there are also someone like me who cannot support it even if I want to considering I don't have credit card. Why does it have to be credit card anyway? Well, yes, there are those who refuse to get paid and also those who don't advertise. But I'm reading know a ln translated by a college student. So yeah, he needs money, I suppose, and he can lie, but we can expect regular release by supporting and can stop the support if he doesn't respect his promise. And do you want to support by cash ? Bakemonogatari is on your fav list. Zefyris said: If you look at his profile and how many characters from LN are in his favourites, it's pretty obvious Alex is joking here anyway.

| High School DxD. It's very accurate with the anime with a little bit more details. And it covers more than five seasons. You can read it today and you will read things that will get released as anime in atleast 3 years. |

S-quare22 said: The empty box of maria will stay the best written LN of all time I'll never get why this novel is so popular on MAL - maybe because there aren't lots of LNs translated and "for free" by now - but HakaMari's author lacks creativity & some "love" in his writing style. Didn't read such a boring LN for years. |

| Kino no Tabi and Slayers for me. |
Jare4lopez said: [What's the best in your opinion then? PD : I started reading Kino's Journey yesterday , it's beautiful ... Kini no Tabi really is amazing - but you have to like this kind of "traveling and not really interfering too deep" thing I guess. I think the author really does a great job with his writing - you can almost "feel" the atmosphere. [Well maybe that's a bit too much.] If you don't mind lots of dialogues and a different/unique way of telling a story - not only the Monogatari series - but also the Zaregoto series are stunning. Personal favorite - still ongoing - and probably not available online/in English is Wizard's Brain. Its setting and the author's way of telling the story made me fell in love with each and every volume/chapter. Yet it's pretty unknown - even in Japan. Slayers - if you're into fantasy. [Well I'm usually paying a lot of attention on the used words/phrases - the Kanji etc. when reading a novel - which also leads to dropping a lot of "modern" LNs & WBs - but I'm not sure how much of the original writing is actually left when reading English or other translated versions.] → The official English version of The Monogatari Series & Baccano is pretty cool though. |

| I've read a bit of Asterisk war and Fate/zero and a few pages of Mahouka (Wasn't hooked) and Fate/Zero was the best beween all these (currently reading) |
 |
| I am still rather new in reading LN, but what i've liked so far is the one shot Manuscript Screening Boy and Manuscript Submitting Girl by Mizuki Nomura, known for her Book Girl series of LN. I really enjoyed the deep insight regarding the LN territory in this LN and the writing style of Mizuki Nomura. However, part of why i liked it probably was because i was mimicking Ohmwrecker's voice for the main character and Delirious' voice for the main character's uncle. |
| It's time to play the Game folks! |
| Overlord has the potential to be a masterpiece depending on how it's handled. |

| High School DxD. Also the only one I know. I'm not into Light Novels, but I just love High School DxD too much. |
| I'm rather thankful with this thread because it give me motivation to start reading LN again. |

| I want to read some Light Novels. Do you guys have a good webpage I can buy Light novels in english or german Version? |

| Hakomari is love,Hakomari life.Seriously guys,give it a try.The 2nd volume is probably a tad weaker and thats were some of the prose problem stems but overall its insanely good. |

| @kuuderes_shadow thanks for your kind help |
|
| Hakomari is the best thing I read so far , Although I do enjoy some MMORPG/Isekai them books. |
 |
| I've not read a light novel as gripping as baccano, so i'll go with that. Zaregoto is a close second. |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| Overlord, Mahouka and No Game No Life. But I mostly read web novels, because LNs so slow. I mean, I need to wait months to come out for every volume. "-_- I read Arifureta, Death March, World Teacher and a lot more. (Yeah, I quiet pleased with the isekai genre.) And ofc I planning reading the LN versions too. The only non-japan title I read now and currently my favorite: The King's Avatar. This is the only chinese novel I read, but this is a lot better than the others. :o |
