    Edit: I probably wasn't very clear about this, but I'm asking for the recent/new stories that have come out. From around late 2018 to present day.

    Hi! I haven't been on this site for quite some time. I've only been coming on to check if any of the stories I'm following had updated, and even that was just whenever there weren't any stories that have caught my interest over on RRL.

    Frankly, I have no idea what good and great stories from either korea or japan for roughly two years now. So I am humbly asking you guys and gals for recommendations for me to once again embark upon the weird and mysterious world of WNs and LNs.

    For the genres, any cool stories would be fine, as long as they aren't yaoi. Though if I must say my favorites, they would be: Fantasy, isekai would be categorized here, but please reconmend the decent ones, I've looked at my reading history and frankly, I'm ashamed of what's in there, so please just ignore that and just recommend what you will; Comedy, well... comedy; and Slice of Life, it can be anything from being in a fantasy setting, or a realistic highschool drama with subplots of romance, or just a general fluffy feel good story to unwind from the gritty action we are usually reading.

    I don't like reading CN novels, I prefer KR and JP novels, but if it's really good, I'd give it a shot.

    I would also appreciate it if you could help me scrounge up enough money to change my name. Now that I've natured a little bit, my username is making me cringe. I would like to change this horrible reminder of my dark and cringey past post haste.

    Thanks!!! Also forgive me if there are typos aplenty because I'm posting this on my phone.

    Cool. I'll check it out.
    I'll give Lucia a shot.

    Dungeon Defence really wasn't my thing... but maybe that was because I read the wn at the time.

    Funnily enough, hokou kizoku has been sitting in my read later list for quite some time, and I haven't gotten around to reading it.

    The majority of novels by Toika - or at least Stop! Friendly fire and Everyone else is returnee. Emperor of Solo Play. To me these three are comedy gold, the slapstick kind. Oregairu is damn good, connects well with my loner self. There is also I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!, the misunderstandings will crank you up.

    Second Coming of Gluttony.
    And thats classroom of the elite right? If so, then I'd probably give it a shot since I enjoyed the anime.

    I've already read and finished EER as it was still updating way back then.
    Oregairu is by far my favorite story, and I can't wait for season three to air!
    Also, can you give any of the wotks by Toika? I'm too lazy to search for them myself ;p

    Are you implying that the kirito we all know is not edgy enough?

    Yeah... those were some bad times.

    *sweats nervously*
    I'd get to it... someday. It's been there for quite some time, I'm sure it can hold on for a bit longer.
    Lol, it's not really dark, just... morbidly funny?

    Two years sound like enough time to meet truck-kun and find your way back...
