>Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! 2016
>Yahari winning again
How does this make you feel?
>>14347937
So it's that time again.
Full results when?
Makes me feel like NO TRANSLATIONS FUCK YOU YEN PRESS
>>14347937
Oh, I completely forgot about this. Who won best girl, best boy, etc?
Honestly surprised considering how shitty Volume 11 was.
Where's the chart?
Time for another Yahari full sweep?
>>14347939
Is Yenpress even good with their stuff?
>>14347937
plebs picks again
full chart when
>>14347944
Apparently their NGNL translation is the worst shit ever.
>>14347937
>How does this make you feel?
Perfectly fine with it. When are we getting all the results?
>>14347937
Who are best boy and best girl this year?
>>14347949
8man probably for best boy.
>>14347949
8man and Yuckyno.
>>14347949
Misaka reign pls
>>14347937
>Index dropping to #4
Oh no Kamachi.exe, that Mikoto/Misaki bait volumes weren't enough!
>>14347953
Come on man don't be a dick, post pics or link
>>14347937
>middlebrow shit wins the vote of a self-absorbed social demographic of elitist and autistic misanthropes
Not surprised at all.
>>14347937
Japan thinks Ponkan's art got worse again.
>>14347937
>inb4 thread moved to /jp/
Don't you hate it if that happens?Hiro's online now.
I hope Iroha gets the top spot for girls.
>>14347937
I'm okay with Yahari winning.
I won't call it literature, but as far as I can tell the light novel market is almost entirely bad battle harems and poorly designed resurrection stories.
Hibike should have won.
>>14347957
Where?
>>14347961
He was moving WWE threads from /sp/ to /asp/, but I think he went off now.
>>14347959
Fucking this, Yahari is the biggest fish in a small pond filled to the brim with garbage.
8man is also strong enough to carry the entire series on his back. It's been a while since I last saw such an original protagonist
Based Ponkan8
>>14347937
No surprise since the LN market has absolute garbage writing. Oregairu's gotten worst as the volumes went on but it's still quite a bit better than the current market's other top sellers.
Why the fuck did Ponkan8 draw an aged-up keika?
>>14347966
Gotta show the final design for the winner of the 8bowl.
Is this a LN thread?
The Other World Dining Hall updated.
>>14347937
who the fuck is that in the image
>>14347937
That's some fucking awful art.
>>14347937
>Ponkan8
When are they going to stop shilling this meme artist. His art isn't even that good, someone like Kurehito deserves the spot.
>>14347971
>Kurehito
This. Ponkan8 is hit or miss and I think he has already peaked like Haimura.
>>14347971
I have no idea who that artist is but I'm assuming it's the Kurehito you're talking about
I cannot think of a more generic art style than that
Saki dlc when
>>14347971
>meme artist
It is only become meme because you think it like that
>shilling
Economy
>his art isn't even good
muh opinion
>someone other deserve better
Like your obscure favorite doujinka?
Ponkan's art is inconsistent and pretty bad at times.
>>14347953
Source?
>>14347937
Wait, is that Saki? Is Saki confirmed for being the main character of the next volume?
While I liked his really simple and moe style form before, this new style is okay too.
>>14347977
No it's grown up Kei
>>14347978
I should've realized from the lack of a beauty spot. Though, did Keika lose the tip of her finger on Valentines Day? Because that finger looks artificially long.
Seriously, when is the Kawasaki family going to combine their powers and fuse with the Hachiman clan?
>>14347979
There was a bit of an accident during the Valentine's Day event.
>>14347979
No, she's just wearing a finglonger. It's all the rage in future Japan.
who the fuck is Keika
>>14347982
Kawasomething-san's little sister.
>>14347973
>>14347975
>I have no idea who that artist is
>Like your obscure favorite doujinka?
You guys can't be serious. He's incredibly well-known in the VN community for his art.
>>14347982
8man's new loli. Even younger than Ruri, but more perceptive than Yukino, and totally the one who'll push Saki and 8man together.
>>14347937
>Horizon will probably have dropped out of the rankings again
>Hexennacht probably won't even make it into the top 100
Being Kawakami is suffering.
I hope Rokka makes it to the top 10 this year again. The really bad thing about the other polls for example was that the best illustrations poll were basically the same as the other ones. Index and yahari got the best illustrations award and I was not impressed. It was favoritism to one series and they did not take to account to other better illustrations than those two.
>>14347987
Also to add to my comment, Index and yahari's art isn't all that great in fact, they don't come close to some LN art like this.
>>14347963
Yahari is just a rip-off of White Album 2.
>>14347988
Early Yahari art was wonderful. It was comfy and unique. Later Yahari is still unique, but it's harsher, like Jack Daniels compared to St. Cosme Cotes du Rhone.
>>14347958
>secondary girl
>top spot
well, it's good to have dreams.
>>14347990
Yeah the early art was definitely better.
>>14347937
Who the fuck is that? I haven't read Yahari again and go to it's thread since it's so awful these days.
>>14347963
Light novels in general are crap. On another note, the LN series by the Ore no Imouto series, Eromanga-sensei, seems to rectify everything he had done wrong in his first series and is generally better. I was honestly very surprised at how much better it was than his former series.
>>14347990
>>14347992
Thats not the point. Index and yahari is so popular to the point where it is just a popularity poll instead of the actual purpose. There are alot of LN with really great art that makes even the early art from yahari and pretty much the illustrations for both series pale in comparison to what I just compared earlier. Here is another one
>>14347990
>>14347992
Another LN art that is way more better
>>14347995
>>14347996
I doubt the voters go out of their way to look for good LN artists, they just choose the artist they like from the LN's they've read, if the LN isn't all that interesting or they haven't read it they have no reason to choose it since they've never seen it.
>>14347997
It is the LN that they like that they only choose the artist and only showing favoritism for which is not really focusing on the art itself. Majority of readers already decided from the start and that is just terrible conduct.
>>14347990
>>14347992
I find middle Yahari art to be the best.
Ponkan seems too intent on drawing sharper chins and everything in the latest stuff.
>>14347998
Well it's about choosing your favorite artists, no one gives a shit about art appreciation when choosing that isn't what it's about.
>>14347971
Both are shit. Kantoku or Bunbun deserve it.
>>14347999
Still pales in comparison to this beautiful piece of art... like I keep saying. ...
>>14347971
Fucking this. Kurehito's work is far more intricate than any of ponkan's work
>>14348000
No it is not about the artist appreciation but what it was was actually was the ln series appreciation . The artists shouldn't even be on that list considering their artwork. Another art illustration that is better.
>>14347937
When are we getting the results?
>>14348005
Not until next week, probably. Even 2ch doesn't have them yet.
>>14348006
Aww, Saekano vol 9 didn't make it in time.
>>14348007
Incoming Saekano waifu war in 3...2...1...
>>14348008
Megumi a shit.
Eriri a shit.
>>14348008
No, that's next week. Well, actually a couple days after next week since the summaries need to be written.
>>14348009
And to round it off, Utaha a shit.
Who were the other two girls again? I think one of them was named Mikuru.
>>14348011
I don't even remember. God I can't remember the last time a harem cast was so pathetic outside of a single girl (Megumi).
>>14348012
Eriri isn't a bad character considering how she does her role perfectly. She's meant to be hated.
>>14348012
Says you. Kurehito's art is great enough that I care about all the girls, even the two irrelevant ones. I understand this is an unpopular opinion though.
>>14348013
>She's meant to be hated
Can you not? This isn't the thread for that.
I like both Eriri and Utaha. It hurts to see my comrades fighting when Megumi is the real enemy.
>thread back up
>oh sweet, maybe there's new info
>see Saekanofaggots
I hate you faggots
>>14348017
We just want our artist to be recognized.
I'm now watching Saekano because this thread reminded me that I've been meaning to for ages.
Jesus Christ, this protagonist is terrible. Like, he's typically annoying, but he also lacks the usual good traits of being a really nice guy, or being really hard working, or being a great listener. He's not even like, an average kind of handsome or anything. Fuck.
I don't have an opinion on any of the girls yet but the way everyone talks really pisses me off.
>>14348019
But he does work hard and is super passionate.
>>14347945
This. I don't expect to find good works among the most read in an industry that thrives in making shit. Hidden gems are called hidden for a reason.
>>14348019
>this protagonist is terrible
His VA doesn't help either
>>14347937
So what series made it to the top 10?
>>14348023
My guess is (in no particular order)
Yahari
SAO
Index
Danmachi
Overlord
Saekano
Hataraku
Oda Nobuna
>everywhere on /a/ people shit on saekano's MC
I feel like I'm literally the only one that likes the MC.
>>14347977
>>14347978
>>14347993
It just a original character for the cover of this year's Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi, they do that in every year's cover.
In fact we don't know Yahari no.1 again or not, even it's 95% chance to win.
And the illustrator from right bottom of the cover may give you some idea that which LNs also in top 20 ranking.
>>14348027
8mans eyes get more wrinkled and dark as time goes on.
>>14347986
You know what he should do? Write faster.
Daily novels.
>>14348025
What? No you are not. Heck i remember one LN anon said most haters are either bait or just anime only fags.
>>14348024
basically this plus monogatari i guess
>>14348031
>>14348024
Nah, you will get something that surprise you or you even never heard of.
>>14348032
2ch speculates that at least two of the top 10 titles will be something completely new or out of the park because that's how it works
>>14348033
That's how it is. Collaborators vote for new tittles they found interesting to promote them. It was like that for Rokka and Alderamin, now these two will probably not be in the top 10.
>>14348024
Also Alderamin
>>14348019
This. I dropped this show because that. He is like Keima but without positive trait
I can't help but get cancer every time I see anything related to Saekano being brought up.
Saekano > Yahari
Megumi > YuckynoSHITa
I'm scared.
>>14347996
Is that a Yoshika LN?
>>14348171
>remake
rename*
Fug I'm still half-asleep.
>>14348361
Change /a/ to "Anime, Manga & Ranobe" or something and I'll leave.
>>14347937
I thought Yahari was over.
Moving /a/ threads to /jp/ is literally retarded
So. Full info when?
>>14350420
21.11.2015
This ranking is literally "Garbage to avoid at all cost", which is super useful actually.
I've never seen anything worthy in the top 10.
>>14351655
Haruhi?
Wait so threads moved from another board can't be bumped?
>>14352018
I hope that's true, I don't want subhuman mods shitting up this board even more by moving stuff in here and then just letting it rot.
>>14352018
Implications
>>14351655
Alderamin are good.
>>14347996
>Praise the sun
Isn't that novel being translated?
>>14348001
This anon's got taste.
