Well, you asked for it.
Jesus fucking christ. I was hoping the summary of vol.9 was fake but reading this, all of it is true. Now I don't want an anime adaptation...

I've just noticed that, unlike with manga, I'm not really not certain of which light novels are the most popular. I think Biblia, Haruhi and SAO (?) or Kagerou days make the top three. Anyone knows better?
Biblia is not a light novel though... it's classified as bunko format only. Bunko format releases can also be light novels, but Oricon has a criteria to determine which ones classify as light novels.
I'd check the light novel DB thread:
http://forums.lndb.info/showthread.php?tid=26308
kuuderes_shadow is handling for info on sales, although the releases here are not strictly all light novels.
That thread hasn't been updated in a few weeks as I've been working on Thursdays, which is the day when I usually update it (including today). I'll try to get it up to date tomorrow instead but no guarantees - and I won't be able to update it next week either because I'll be away.
Scratch that. It's updated now. I'd forgotten that I had already updated the spreadsheet but just not done the thread.

Well, you asked for it.
I don't even. Strange ending, but I'd still like to see this animated.

oh my,what happen to SAO ? I remember time SAO would stay number 1 for like 4 weeks,not the case anymore I guess
Think about what you are saying here. In no way is a release supposed to stay at a certain rank for a defined period of time. It all depends on the competition for a particular week...
To re-iterate, the rank doesn't matter it's the sales number. SAO dropping from #1 does not spell disaster, you have to compare its sales with previous volumes for a comparable number of weeks to properly judge whether a series is dying, selling as it should, or selling better than it usually does.

wait wait wait. So the author already had the perfect setup between choosing between the childhood friend, and the family friend girl who's practically engaged to him already...and he fucking goes the Yukimura route?!?
That's...so bad. It's honestly so bad I'm at a loss for words.
