I was curious what light novels you'd recommend. I've read a few, though I think my list of want-to-read is noticeably longer than what I've actually read so far.

My first ever was the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya quite a few years ago. There've probably been new releases since then, but I do remember really loving it at the time. The other series I've read is Kino no Tabi. I loved the anime and figured why not? Turns out it's every bit as good as the anime and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. I also kinda started reading Rokka no Yuusha after the anime aired last year, and still aim to read through that series since I was hearing good things about it.

So what series out there do you like to recommend? Or just list off your favorites, either works.  :yay:

Golden Time
Sword Art Online
Spice and Wolf
Accel World
The Pet Girl of Sakurasou
Toradora!
Fate/Zero
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Kara no Kyoukai
Log Horizon

Just to name a few.

Sword Rat Online and Re:Monster

To Aru Majutsu no Index series, this'll keep you busy for a while.
Steins;gate series, regardless of fanwork-- they are as good as original visual novel.
Kamisama no memochou, this is an interesting read tbh.
Gosick, if you watched anime and liked it, highly recommended. much better.
Sugar Dark, this one was interesting when I picked it up from bookstore. I need to finish it but idk where I put it...
Zero no Tsukaima, watched anime and liked it? READ IT. didn't like anime? READ IT. Much, much better.
Shakugan no Shana, you get to observer characters a lot deeper imo. It's much easier to understand the setting of this story unlike Anime.

The ending was quite disappointing. It felt way too abrupt.

Lol. I put that in there because I liked it for the most part. Although the ending was a bit abrupt.

I wanna recommend Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon. I really do. Problem is, despite having a complex plot penned by a veteran writer and taking place in an imaginative world filled with vibrant characters, the writing takes almost three pages just to describe thirty minutes of action. At that point, unless you're a true bibliophile, I'd reckon you're better off just watching the anime.

I personally recommend the (newer) edition of Goth: A Novel of Horror, which can be found here for $7.99 or here for free (as ebook)

Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria (can't believe no one had recommended that yet)
Gekkou
Tsukumodo Antique Shop
Zaregoto

I highly recommend A Silent Voice! In fact if I recall correctly there's an anime adaptation coming out as well.

If you're into something longer, you should try "The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor", sadly, only 24 out of the 48 light novels are translated so far :c

My summary: it's a Korean Light novel series, featuring Lee Hyun, the most famous player in "Kingdom of Magick", a MMORPG game, where he's the sole player to reach the top levels, and only plays solo, and kills people in his way, this legendary player unfortunetely got a debt that needs to be payed for, and the loan shark demands too much, Lee Hyun decides to sell his account, to see if it's worth anything, overnight the bid for his account goes from 100 won, to 1000 won and then 10,000, it just keeps climbing, Lee Hyun woke up the next day, and got a phone call in the morning from a company that bid the highest, 30billion won, finally Lee Hyun could pay his debt, but he got a challenge from the loan shark, "Earn the same amount within another 5 years, and you win" (I don't remember the full thing, think it was a forgiving prostration), and so Lee Hyun wanted to aim for the new MMORPG Virtual Reality game that's been going around, with the spare money he have left after paying the debt. will he succeed the challenge?
