Name: Tsuyokute New Saga (LN) Raw Link: NU Link (if avaliable): http://www.novelupdates.com/series/tsuyokute-new-saga-ln/ Why It Should Get Picked Up: Because it's reincarnation done right with a protagonist that has an IQ above room temperature. Description: The Demon King led his army of demons to wipe out the human race. The Hero, Kyle , and his allies attack to Demon King’s castle to defeat the Demon King. The Demon King is slain, but at what cost? Kyle lost all of his allies throughout the war. Friends, family, lovers, comrades. All dead. As he lay dying at the foot of the Demon King’s chamber, he notices a strange gem that the Demon King had coveted. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No updates from the translator since February of this year so it's safe to say this one is ripe for the picking (do excuse the lame pun). Frankly speaking, and not to discourage anyone interested, if this gets picked up forfor translation it will likely have to be translated from scratch since the previous translation was of questionable quality at best. Now, to answer the question as to why this novel needs some love. The protagonist is not dumb and he is proactive, he makes logical decisions based on what information and resources he has on hand and doesn't hesitate to get his hands dirty if necessary. Not to say he's overpowered, because it's clear that his party members are better than him in their given field of expertise, but he shines as a leader. Hell, who can say they've read a reincarnation novel where the first thing the protagonist does after traveling back in time is sit down and write everything he remembers before he forgets? Also, the author tries to keep the worldbuilding consistent and pays a lot of attention to little details, especially concerning the more mundane and practical uses of magic (like using wind magic to keep a tunnel the party is digging ventilated) that add a lot to the immersion factor. Also, the supporting cast gets proper development, the protagonist isn't the only one that is smart and can deduce things and the antagonists are no slouches either. tl;dr: The novel has good pacing, characterization, worldbuliding and tries to keep the plot unpredictable and the audience guessing, which is rare for stories with the reincarnation trope.
A bit of warning. The original WN had been purged... Not even necromagic could recover it (archive.us missed a huge chunk of chapter) So we could only rely on LN. The RAW can be picked at a certain Cafe website (Vol 01 to 06). Don't know where to get Book 07 and 08. But you can buy it, I think Good luck.
I love this novel.. I Started out from the manga, but the update are turtle slow. by the moment I found the novel, the raw web novel have already been purged. Getting the raw lightnovel is pointless since I dont understand japanese..(cant be mtled) I found despair in ever finishing the series. People that havent even redt it.. please stop dissing it because its japanese.. its not funny.
This is a light novel that really deserved to be translated. I hope this gets translated soon. Hope these links can be of help. (remove the spaces to get the link. I don't have the patience to learn how to upload links correctly over here) Amazon htt ps: //ww w.amazon.co.jp /gp/product/B07V9VH4Z8?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb&binding=kindle_edition Alphapolis ht tps://ww w.alpha polis.co.jp/novel/159124863/713069479
