What are you reading now, what are your favorites?
I myself just caught up with the Mushoku Tensei and Re:Monster English translations and am enjoying them so far.
Does anyone else have any recommendations (in English) with similar themes, or any with either; reincarnation/dimension travel/fantasy/time travel which might fit my tastes?
From a similar genre, I've also enjoyed Gate: Thus the JSDF fought there (manga) and tsuyokute new saga (manga).
I like the way these series have implied adult content rather than excessive and unrealistic ecchi, have noticable and realistic character development, and that they don't shy away from things like poverty, betrayal, rape and death.
>>111430287
Does it have to be translated?
Also based GA bunkoI'm not reading this though.
>>111430287
I'm reading Gate, but the manga only.
I don't like LNs
>>111430668
My Japanese is quite poor. It can take me several hours to read just one chapter. I frequently have to refer to a dictonary, and sometimes even ask in chat-rooms for particularly difficult phrasing. according to some native speakers I met there, some light-novelists use weird/incorrect Japanese which makes it difficult for people my level.
But if you speak Japanese yourself, I don't expect you to know which ones have English translations, so just post any you think I might like. I'll check them myself, and if they don't have a translation project going now I'll add them to my list to read later.
>>111430721
I prefer manga too, but I struggle to find any new ones to read; I read a lot, you see; have had to expand to LNs now too.
By all means, recommend me any Manga or Anime you think Id enjoy and I'll give them a try.
>>111430287
Reading Rokka no Yuusha and Magdala de Nemure. Both are enjoyable.
>rec thread
>I only read mature manga for mature manga readers such as myself
Fuck off and learn how to google.
I'm really disappointed that Apocalypse Alice vol3 didn't show up on the charts, I hope it won't get canned
>>111431206
Cool, I heard about Rokka, and tried the Magdala manga before. dropped it for some reason;;;; can't remember why, but since you've reminded me I'll give it another go, and try Rokka too.
Is it the manga or the LN you're enjoying?
>>111431298
Teach me, shisho!
>>111431320
Oh yeah, I'm following the manga on batoto; didn't know it had a LN. I'll give that a go too~
Surprisingly /a/ is much better for this kind of thing than /r/ or /jp/ !
>>111431298
I didn't indent to sound condescending or act elitist. The series I listed are all fantasy manga, not what most people would call 'mature' - I was only pointing out what I enjoy about them so that it would be easier to empathize with my tastes.
>>111431344
LNs. Pic related was pretty enjoyable too.
Picked up the Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon LN since I finally got around to finishing the second season of the anime the other day.
It's not as horrible as my previous experiences with LN, but it still awkward to read. I guess I'll just read whatever the anime covered and then drop it to wait for more seasons.
>>111431734
Hnng. Don't tease me~. What's the novel called? I can't even backwards image-search it because the file is too big ._.
>>111430862
If you like sci-fi, nothing tops this, not even Kawakami's stuff.
I'm trying to motivate myself to learn moon so I can read this trap LN.
I wanted to start Horizon but I'll save that for later.
>>111431320
Making thecover a spoiler goes a bit toofar.
>>111431734
I read the title and thought of Twilight then I didn't bother, then again Bungaku Shoujo wasn't really my thing either.
>>111432384
Eh? It reverse searches just fine. Since I already did it, it's ???????????????????
>>111431734
How do you extract images from bookwalker
>>111432066

>>111432417
9S was decent, but nowhere close to top. Know and Jintai are up there.
>>111432976

>>111430287
Currently catching up to DanMachi.
>>111433039

Ooooh, consider my interest piqued. By Jintai do you mean Jinrui Suitai? Not a huge fan of that one if that's the case.
>>111431734
>>111432955
Thanks.
Kyuuketsuki ni natta kimi wa eien no ai wo hajimeru, right?
can't find this one in English. Is it around? otherwise I'll add it to my list to read later.
>>111433045
How do you even save the images? You can't really right click the pictures.
Reading this but I feel like it could have had so much more potential. Oh well, I guess I'll reserve my judgement till the end of Vol 2.
>>111433552
I don't think so.
>>111433559
Tools - Page Info.
>>111431320
Why are you so surprised?
Vol 3 is fanfiction tier garbage.
>>111430287
Recommendation thread? Really? You do not have google subscription?
>>111432417
Does 9S have an English translation? or could you point me to some raws? Google stubbornly refuses to give me any information when it comes to short, common names.
>>111433559
Don't go to the sample page, just stay on the description page and right click - page info
>>111433648
By preview you mean tachiyomi right? The Page Info only give me a tiny picture of the cover only, what does yours look like?
>>111433699
If the spoilers I read are true, then yes, it's pure bullshit.
I didn't like the development of the first two already, so it doesn't really surprise me.
The author seems to simply write this LN to pull some stupid shit at the and for the sake of a forced twist.
>>111433927
You simply go to page info at the main page of the LN, not the web preview.
>>111433904
Oh fucking wow, thanks.
>>111433045
Oh, thanks. Yeah I'm reading the manga of DanManchi. The novel seems to have 1 volume translated on baka-tsuki.
>>111433850
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=9S
I refuse to believe you can't find the raws, don't be lazy anon.
>>111434067
The novel translation is currently at the third chapter of volume three.
>>111434077
i seriously couldn't find anything, I was searching for '9S', '9s novel' 'read 9s novel' '9s novel chapter 1' '9Snovel translation' '9s novel raws', ' 9S??????? read' ' 9S??????? raws' etc with the only result being from myanimelist. Is there another way other than google?
>>111434262
Did you stitch that?
A new DanMachi manga's coming by the way focusing on the gods, I guess GA feel like they need to help boost Hestia's popularity.
>>111434421
Yes, putting bookwalker samples together is easy since they nearly always fit perfectly.
>>111434410
Anon ... if you're searching for the raw, why are you not using ???? instead of "novel raws"? And why aren't you adding the authors' names (yes 9s' "author" is actually a 2 person team).
Hell, I'm pretty sure jcafe has them all even if your google-fu massively fails.
>>111434410
nyaa seems to have it?
when you google try 9S ?01? or similar.
>>111434262
solitary translations, ay. I'm rapidly losing faith in my google-ing skills...
>>111434502
Any other stitches that you have? I wouldn't mind them all. I need everything to help me divert my attention from the wait until November when volume 6 drops.
>>111433959
The first two volumes seemed like absolute bullshit and the plot twists are even more retarded. His other work was pretty bad too.
>>111434647
Not for DanMachi, since the first 4 volumes have no good previews.
Only from a bunch of other novels, I just randomly save them.
>>111434647
>>111434262
Shit, I was upset that BT had to drop it. This is fucking great. Thanks anon.

Based anon, have a bonus booklet from volume 5 (different than the one Solitary Translation translated).
Stitch anon if you're still there do you have the Oratoria Volume 1 stuff from bookwalker?
I've been reading all available volumes of One Turn Kill and now the wait for the 4th volume seems endless.
>>111436940
How is it? I don't really have enough motivation to read machine translations and Deus Ex translations is pretty fast so I'm only on the part wherethe shota "genius knight" gets rekt.
>>111436277
The samples for that are pretty small and shitty; and you will see where they were put together.
Just hope the other anon is still around.
>>111437409
>>111437198
It... actually became one of my most favourite reads. It stays true to its theme with Yuri being the world's strongest. the author lies to explore the concept of "strongest" and it shows. While it is not perfect I think the author does a good job of describing different approaches to the notion of being "strongest".
It has character development, exposition, characters have interesting backstories and I like this author's writing style. And holy fuck all those plot points in volume 3. I really liked that one, it's got some story going and new ones bein set up -- on speed.
>>111437702

>>111430287
I'm reading Mushoku Tensei and I question why people think Rudy is a Gary Stu?
The entire series is about his development and the guy keeps running into pit-falls and problems throughout the series. He's skilled but he's not OP, shown to be perfect, or excels at everything.

>>111440784
It's more on how the story is laid out, everything is geared on giving you cheap accomplishment feelings. It's fun and satisfying to read through, but you wouldn't say that it was a good solid story. But at the very least, it's a league above the typical harem stories.
But he's not really a Gary Stu, at least maybe until his magic power was referenced to be as strong as Laplace's. This felt more like a given talent rather than due to working his ass off since he was a baby. I'd have like him to still be good but not the best magician, only getting by because he's using modern concepts to better utilize his magic (armor piercing designs for his rock bullet).
>>111441138
>Slave harem
If only the MC was bearable. I mean, I'm used to putting up with fucking stupid protagonists, but he can't even hold a conversation or provide fun narrative. He just responds "I see" to everything and bam, end of conversation.
>>111430287
I was thinking about picking this up, because I like one the author's other manga. Maybe I'll finally get around to reading the novel too.
>>111441313
though even as the best mage ever for the most part he's still a squishy wizard.
though so far I only read volume 3 so far so he'll probably be more broken in later volumes.
>>111441911
>>111441313
He's pretty overpowered, but it's presented in a weirdly realistic way. Like, the things he does make enough sense within the scope of his abilities that you kinda react with "yes, of course" instead of "that's totally bullshit". His hax are rare, not impossible. This distances him somewhat from common Stus these days.
Plus he's a perv, frequently fails at what he's trying to do, and the universe is fucking with him.
Caught up with Antimagic. Don't know what I should read next, but I still have 25~ novels to catch up.
>>111430287
Why do the illustrations stop after volume 3? They were so charming.
I can't stop checking the progress several times a day.
>>111445179
It's great having the app on my phone. It autochecks for any updates every 15 minutes.
>>111444952
I didn't see any of the illustrations until I'd read 4 volumes. Now I don't really care for them because of how hard they deviate from my mind.
>>111445179
What's with the translations being all over the place? This is worse than DAL, at least DAL doesn't have 20 volumes.
>>111445179
Same here.
>>111444952
The published novel only goes to volume 4. The rest is the web novel which does not have illustrations.
>>111445274
There's like 10 translators on this project and not enough editors and most of them are doing whatever the fuck they want.
>>111445179
Chapter 82 is complete, though.

>>111446269
And that's it.
2-3 are absolute shit.
Not him, so I dunno if 4-5 and the upcoming, supposedly last volume will be better
Excuse me for forgetting, but there's one LN that is mentioned every once and a while that seems to be unanimously liked and I've forgotten the name. I know it's structured, at least early on, with paragraphs headed by things like "1st Time", "102nd Time", or "16,354th Time". It gives me the impression that it's a time loop sort of story.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Don't worry. That's all I can say without giving spoilers.

Without giving specifics.
>>111446715
>>111430287
That Kaito dude translating Mushoku is a monster.
If he can keep this up, and with the help of the other translators, this will be caught up in no time.

Paul was already pretty young when Rudeus was born.
>>111441313
How so? People think he's blessed with talent, Rudy and us as readers know that he got to where he was through pure hard work.
Talking about Mushoku Tensei,without spoiling too much,how mad does Eris gets when she finds that Rudeus is married with Sylphy
>>111447827
It depends on the translator. Some of the others do stupid notes too.
>>111447943
Yeah Paul was like 19 when Rudy was born which makes him younger than Rance during Sengoku.
Anyone know if there are scans out for the 2nd and 3rd book of Fairy Tale Chronicles?
>all my favourite LNs aren't translated
Learning a language is so annoying.
>>111448194Actually she takes it rather well; he sends her a letter and she just kind of stands there blankly as her friend reads it out for her (she's been doing nothing but swinging swords since they separated and forgot how to read). Then they find a second page that says "P.S. I am going to fight Orstead, so I might be dead by the time you come over to talk this out with me." and she immediately takes off to help him with the fight.
>>111448247
They aren't. How is that, by the way? I've been meaning to read it but I've had it on low priority.
>>111448194Very upset. Well she finds out from a letter Rudy sends her. In which he mentions that he married two girls who he loves and who he won't leave, but if Eris still cares about him, he and his wives are prepared to accept her as the third wife.
It turns around when she reads the second page of the letter.Where Rudy says that he's going to go challenge the Dragon God Orsted so by the time the letter reaches her he might have already died but if he managed to survive he'll write again. Eris gets a manic gleam in her eye and basically rushes to head to Rudy's side since the entire reason she was training was to fight Orsted with Rudy.
Probably more detailed than you wanted. Think that chapter is translated though.
>>111448294
This is because most translators have shit taste (or attention whores who only pick up books that plebs flock to).
Reminder that Roxy is the best girl
>>111448403
Yeah that chapter is translated, it's 159.
>>111448425

Any LNs with cute shota suffering?
>>111448524
I can accept that.
>>111448379
I don't know. I held off cause I wanted to make sure it's not shit a few volumes down the road, but no scans despite decent sales and rating. Quite a shame really.
Among the "new generation" of Narou stuff this, DanMachi, and Knight's and Magic are the only ones getting public attention (at least on-going ones).
>>111448537
for that Mushoku Tensei LN we keep circlejerking MC is a shota for most of the series and he does suffer quite a lot.
>>111449011
>Most
Maybe most of the translated bits. He stopped being a shota after volume 6 if he was even still one there, he was almost 13 by the end of volume 6 after all.
>>111448228
So he's as old as Rance was when Rance fathered his firstborn.
>>111449285
Dark Rance was around then? I always forget about him.

He knocked up Feliss in 5D which was when Rance was 19.

>>111454401
I'm not really understanding the popularity. The pace that they're going it, you would think it's the next SAO or something, but sale is only average at best over at Japan. Despite being top at Narou, it isn't that good commercialization wise.
Lots of people like it over here, so the series must be doing something right, since I also don't depend on translations, I don't really care where the effort is spent.

Good luck reading through those horrible translations.
Nothing feels permanent in Mushoku, the fact he can freaking time travels means even if he fucked up he can alter different continuities. In this aspect, Re: Zero and All You Need Is Kill are way better.
>>111454706
It's probably a lot of people's first exposure to the reincarnation genre, plus it's pretty good. It's also rather fresh compared to a lot of LNs; Rudy gets shit done and dicks multiple girls, something 90% of all LN protagonists can't boast.
Still, it's very wish-fulfillment, and stuff like that gets a lot of flak, so I really don't know. People must really love it.
I did read the first LN myself in one day, and that was the first time in months I read an LN for more than maybe 15 minutes before putting it down.
>>111455068

>Rudy gets shit done and dicks multiple girls
I feel this is the main point.
But it is also very retarded, like that one time he was emofagging and someone actually he would get better by shagging up a girl, and the girl just went and offered herself. Viola, he cheered up.

I've just read the early volumes and I must say that the first volume is spectacularly comfy (Zenith's side-story most notably), satisfying and fun to read. Maybe it's the lack of proper high fantasy settings right out of an RPG. The summary alone doesn't do this series justice.
But then I read volume 2. There's a large drop in quality; the plot then felt like a playthrough of some sort of princess maker/dating sim hybrid, which is bad. I disliked Eris for being excessively bitchy at first but I expected her to develop into a likable tsundere; instead her dere switch got permanently flipped. Rudeus becomes annoying to watch as seemingly more of the world revolves around him (especially in his birthday party). He stops to feel like a proper reincarnation MC and becomes Gary Stu-ish, although I'll most likely bear it for another volume. The delivery of the world history chronology is a complete chore to read through (not to mention somewhat cringeworthy). The rough translation doesn't help.
Does the story get better, /a/?

>>111455926
Just read until vol 6 and see whether it still interest you or not. There's also this thing called turning point which marks genre shift of the story. For example, the first turning point changed the story from simple daily life to adventures and the second one to school life antics.
>>111455926
>Does the story get better, /a/?
No, even the author admits so later on that he's slipping; however, this is back April or so. The only thing's the 4p action later on, honestly you're better off reading porn if you're gunning for that.
Everyone here will obviously tell you otherwise though.

>>111455068
First, spoiler that shit. Second, not really.There are two things wrong with your theory. First of all, the current Rudeus doesn't know how to time travel and it presumably takes decades of research for future Rudy to learn. That means if he dies, there's no reset. Hell, even if he doesn't die, there's no guarantee current Rudy will figure out how to reset. Lastly, Hitogami now knows that Rudy can time travel, and can thus kill him to prevent that if necessary.
Secondly, it seems like the time travel is of the multiple-worlds type of time travel. So, even if Rudy goes back into the past, "he" as in the person traveling, will still experience all the hardships and die (due to insufficient mana). Saying he can just "reset" is like saying you can reincarnate if somebody killed you and then created a clone with your exact memories; the "originial you" is still dead.
>>111455571
>But it is also very retarded, like that one time he was emofagging and someone actually he would get better by shagging up a girl, and the girl just went and offered herself. Viola, he cheered up.
The only reason why he "stood up" was because it was Sylphy and a lot of very expensive aphrodisiac. He went through a shit-ton of attempts with other girls before this happened so it wasn't just any random girl.
>>111456806I'd imagine if Rudy time traveled a few times he would bring a bunch of diaries with him.
Also I don't think he can kill him directly because of his strong fate, but he probably can manipulate shit so that he wouldn't be able to learn it during his lifetime.
>>111455068
I Believe I read that either when he time travelled his body got destroyed because of it. OR he time travelled after he got his shit rekt by hitogami and time travelled in a desperation move to warn his past self
>>111457521
You need to use spoiler tags.It was the time travel itself that killed him. He never figured out how to even reach Hitogami in his dimension thing.
>Pick Up Arifureta
>Hajime seems like a nice guy who gets bullied.
>Girl likes him because he peacefully saved a kid and old lady without throwing a single punch.
>Gets Betrayed
>Loses an arm
>almost goes insane.
>Changes his motto to: "If they get in my way, kill them. Fuck everything else."
The reunion between him and Kaori+Company is not gonna be a happy one.
>>111457759It actually was. By the time they meet again, Yue, Shia, and don't forget Myuu had mellowed Hajime out quite a bit compared to what he was like in Orcus before meeting Yue. The only person that really caused issues was Kouki because he's a dipshit that couldn't accept that Kaori likes Hajime.
>>111456923
>very expensive aphrodisiac
>wasn't just any random girl
I'm sorry but that's just masturbatory fanfiction material. Very poor attempt to show alphaness because he can dick all of the girls, but he's still pure that he only can only get it up with the destined waifu bullshit.
How does shit like this get published? I hope it's bombing.
>>111454589
you fucking retard dipshit JAPTEM IS NOT TRANSLATING RE:MONSTER, just for some reason they post the translations the group worked on.
>>111457962
What a great degree of moving the goal posts.
I guess the series has gotten too talked about here. Getting the stupid trolls now.
>>111458118
After having at least 2 threads that reached bump limit it was bound to happen.
>>111457962
Doesn't sound like you have read any of it
>>111458118
Can't blame them though, every LN thread I come in nowadays are filled with Mushoku Tensei discussion because most of /a/ can't into moon and this is the series that's getting most translation love at the moment.
It's kinda lame that >>111433039 is the only new title I got even hours later from this thread. Actually, I should be happy I even got one this time around, as most of the other LN threads are repetition of the same titles and how people want to read them but can't.
>>111458373
Feels good learning moon and reading all the shit you wanted to read for a whileand finding them to be damn awful or passable.
>>111458448
How long did it take before you can read comfortably
>>111457860
What chapter does this happen anyway. Just so I know when I can expect to hit it.
>>111458566
Depends on your ability to learn languages, time and effort put into it.5 years to not have to rely on a dictionary most of the time, took time off every now and then. I'm awful at learning languages.
>>111458448
Seriously, playing minesweeper with new titles are already bad enough; now, with the Narou invasion, of which you KNOW 95% are mines, there are literally no point reading any of new titles until 3 volumes later and wait for reviews.
Few years ago any title with ? in it is probably shit, now any version of ??? raises the same alert too. I wish the LN market isn't so easily retarded that literal clones will spawn from success of few single ones.
I fucking blame Hero Bunko and their good sales of the first wave of web novels.

Mix of LNs and mystery writers, fairly common/popular people.

>>111459093
Who are yours?
>>111459579
Why not all 3?
>>111458584
I have no idea since author doesn't number chapters. Somewhere like 70 to 80 or so?
>>111459784
there's 3?
>>111459784
I can't tell which is the real one
>>111460184
The 4koma >>111435021
>>111460256
The normal one's ... the normal one.
The one with Oratoria in the title is the Ais one
The 4koma is going to be about the Gods (probably with Hestia as main focus).
>>111430287
How Rudy dad get two good women when hes a shit in looks and personality
>>111460423
He fucked them both
>>111460423
He's extremely attractive according to the narration. I guess it's a Rance-style love?
>>111436940
I've been trying to read this, but mc and main bitch are just beyond horrible.
>>111430287
Started reading this and up to volume 2. Did CGRascal translate this or something? Which volume does it get better?
>>111461652
Read it. Its your own to judge. Personally though i loved Volume 9
>>111461652

Never
????? is great. I definitely recommend trying out her titles.

I just found this. Anyone reading it?
Good quality vol 3 scans when
>>111448379
is this the series where 3 modern teenage girls get sent into a fantasy world and open a bakery in the woods? I remember talk about this a few years ago but never got the name
>>111465279
Where are the shit scans, because I'm impatient as fuck.
>>111465650
I only have like 3
>>111465895
And I'm already liking two of them.
>>111465895
Is this from FTC? Haven't read many LNs.
>>111465919
And this is the last one I have found
>>111465966
And that smile settles it. I want to protect it.
>>111465966
Rujed looks nothing like what I imagined.

Eris a best
>>111466215
>Rujed looks nothing like what I imagined.
You expected him to look fluffy and nice?
I'm really liking Hajime's character change in Arifureta. It's like he's turned from Little Enzo to Matrix in ReBoot. Even a hot girlfriend to boot.
>>111466215
I didn't like his look either with his hair, but the cover with his hair shaved makes him him look a lot better in my opinion.
Found more
>>111466499
Shaving his head even works works on us!
>>111466424
Arifureta is fun, but the MC/Author's chuunibyou is exasperating at times
>>111466654
Well, he does make a point to laugh at it. Like when Hajime got his eyepatch he realized he looked like one and stayed in the bedroom for days depressed over it.
>>111466694
>the horsefaced guy is literally horsefaced.
And here I thought it was just an exaggeration.
>>111466894
Yeah about that...
>>111466894
>thinking he wouldn't have a horse head
You've got to be horsing me.
>>111466894
you saw him in the background on one of the colored pages. I think he's like blue colored or something
>>111467304
Just realized I did. But it was the 3rd book's cover.
Man, I'm slow.
>>111466835
And Now I'm at the part where Hajime trains some flower loving, wimpy bunny people into lean mean killing machines. Him stepping on the flowers was priceless. Clearly cardcrusher material.
>>111470937
I doubt it will have a good ending.

Vanadis director:
"In Vanadis, most of the appearing characters are old men so naturally so unspoken communication happens quite often. Looks like the atmosphere will be interesting."
>>111472630
>most of the appearing characters are old men
Doujins when?
So which web/light novels have an interesting premise that aren't translated yet? I heard of one that has a guy being reincarnated into a slime and one into a dragon.
why is danmachi liked again? the first few chapters were ok, but then it felt like the same shit over and over. just some shota leveling up and getting really gud.
even duelist seems more interesting than danmachi with only 2 volumes
>>111472630
Have they given Elen some clothes yet?
>>111446167
I couldn't bear Heavy Object after a while, I'm not sure but it bored the hell out of me.
>>111454293
On one hand, I have a hard on for monsters and really was enjoying Re:Monster as wank fuel. On the other, Mushoku is actually a well put together story for a light novel that I'm enjoying the fuck out of.

>This is because most translators have shit taste (or attention whores who only pick up books that plebs flock to).
Your MAXIMUM JEALOUSY is showing.
>>111473976
It's the truth though. Translators only translate the mainstream stuff, the things that a lot of people would read so they feel their work wasn't in vain.
>>111458858

Whoa, didn't expect Knights and Magic to be popular. I really like this series. Hope it gets an anime. I want to see Ikaruga scaring the shit out of everyone.

Haven't read this.
>>111473355
same here. the first volume was pretty good, but then it just rebooted and got very humdrum. the reboot was the weirdest.
I'm reading Utsuro_no_Hako. It's quite great.
>>111475378
>?????????
It's... pretty different and mellow, there are hardly any high points in the story. Guy tries to integrate into a fantasy world and that's it.
>>111441313
>>111441313
>at least maybe until his magic power was referenced to be as strong as Laplace's. This felt more like a given talent rather than due to working his ass off since he was a baby
But thats exactly why his magic power (mana capacity) is so high. You literally gain mana you used added to your max mana the next day. And you can only increase your mana until you are ten years old.
