    When you say it like it like that.... Gives me expectations for Overlord, will try it for sure ^^
    Like all of it? I kinda like how the color emphasizes stuff though..
    LOL much better version of "if you can't beat them, join them" ^^
    Godess Kumokooooo! ... but the recent chapter tho.. *sigh*.. the mutiple POV's got me so confused
    Great series but please reduce it a bit to a max of 3 novels, cheers!
    I don't know about proud descendants if were talking High School DXD ^^
    *Brofist* damnnn right, it signified a great journey starting from that series (but now resulted to binging on amazing series and then looking for new one's when there are no more chapters) cheers!

    I admit I'm pretty much influenced by Western novels before coming to NU, so any epic Eastern series I pretty much have no inkling on. But Condor Trilogy definitely warrants a read just by how you recommend it, much appreciated ^^
    Yup, memories... Definitely the official gateway drug for novel binging!
    Heard of Genji Monogatari way back when I visited Japan in the past, sadly there were no english translations for it (got lazy), thanks for the reminder! And Sherlock Holmes definitely a series worth reading multiple times.
    Thanks, will definitely try it ^^

    You can get it for free. BTW, it's not illegal. It's listed under UNESCO Global Heritage Pavilion. It's often called the world's first novel, the first psychological novel or the world's oldest classic novel.

    Anyway, here is the link to the translated novel, courtesy of UNESCO

    OMG! Someone finally recommends Disc World.
    +1000 :cool::cool::cool::LOL::LOL::LOL:

    Don't forget R2D2 .. ouch! H2G2 .. Hitch Hiker Guide to the Galaxy .. just for fun :D

    Also Ring World by Larry Niven.
    Although not world shattering novel, but it helps building the very large world of many xianxia novels.

    The Pilgrim Kamanita (translated from Der Pilger Kamanita, Germany) should complement The God of Small Things perfectly. Teaches them that all human being are born illusively. BTW, it's one of my most respected novel. But somewhat very hard to be enjoy reading. The philosophy (aka religious teaching) inside this novel is not shallow especially the last one.


    PS : this one is the short presentation of Genji Monogatari :D
