Mehish SAO taking the lead, but I'm happy for Intellectual novel Nejimaki on the top 10, too many Re:Zero ...
Wow, a yaoi novel in third place and two yaoi novels in top 10 heheheh~ Lots of fujoshi. Even though I actually hate that Sekaiichi Hatsukoi series... I guess there aren't any better yaoi novels at the moment. I'd love a Ten Count or Saezuru Tori based novel though.
at least we have S (esu) and Utsukushii Koto, which is nice. But most that I know are pretty old. And ah, deadlock.
Look carefully. It's not the SAO with Kirito as the MC. The MC in this one is a cute gun slinging chibi girl. There aren't any of the original SAO characters like Asuna or Kirito in it.
As always, the airing of the anime promotes the sale of the novels too. No wonder the numbers for rezero is high. Same thing happens when Overlord was aired. But I like badass stories like Overlord more than rezero. Because Im a badass guy myself (self proclaimed)
I prefer the Hako no Naka /In the Box type of seme . Pure and devoted. I've become too picky with yaoi after 14 years of reading anything lol. Like something in my personality just clashes with a seme that is S, or dominant, or excessively bullying, or opportunistic (taking advantage of the uke), or cold, or extremely passive (the uke has to pursue endlessly and the seme is quick to drop the relationship). I'm a lot more forgiving to the uke, as long as he doesn't constantly cry or let others make his decisions for him. And I've gotten extremely tired of rape and forced sexual relations. There's one in Hako no Naka which took me by surprise, but it actually has a good explanation (seme's misunderstanding and stunningly low EQ). At least it's not just brushed off, accepted, and transitioned into a relationship... I have no idea what the currently published yaoi novels are. I'm very curious, but will have to wait for some benevolent translators .
Eh? Happy Marriage has a novel?! Hatsukoi series too?! Did those mangakas get tired of drawing and decided to simply write and put an image here and there? I want to read >D
I'm not sure if they were translated 'illegally' since most of them were licensed, for example 'Re:Zero'. how bout going in MAL site, or Mangaupdates, try to look if there is someone who's translating the novel
