Toaru Majutsu no Index - I like how the side charas get importance, multiple POVs, balance of SoL and serious stuff. Accelerator's growth and badassness. Touma changes as well in New Testament. Mushoku Tensei - The charas are well fleshed out. The harem is small but good. Campione! - Harem is great, girls aren't decorations, they are helpful to the MC, they don't bcom boring after falling for him, the fights are good, MC grows throughout the novel. Although it doesn't have much ecchi in it but there are lots of deep kisses. Baka to Test to Shokanjuu - The funniest novel I've read yet. Toradora! - Loved the romance. Gekkou - My fav oneshot yet. Legendary Moonlight Sculptor - The most entertaining novel I've read yet and Weed is epic. I Shall Seal the Heavens - My fav among the CN novels that emotionally moved me. Also, Meng Hao is badass. H.P. Lovecraft's Works - I love the gloomy atmosphere and despair in them.
I don't have a single favorite but here are a few I really like: Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me bl Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator Dominion’s End Who Dares Slander My Senior Brother bl History’s Strongest Senior Brother The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System bl Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes, All Thanks to a Single Moment of Impulse Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil bl Legendary Moonlight Sculptor Transmigrating into a Mob Character to Rehabilitate the Villain Plan bl Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Renegade Immortal Sansheng My Disciple Died Yet Again Running Away From The Hero! -sadly rewritten by the author so no more updates Doomed to be Cannon Fodder
I have no favorites ~ ! Oh well... let's just pick my first light novel... Elsword Time Trouble *cough blood* *rolls on the ground stabbed by a random bystander* *coughs even more blood* Well ~ Let's be a little serious... though you can read it ~ it was good ! Grimoire x Reverse ~Reincarnated Demon Romance Tale~ Far from being my first, though it's quite funny ~ There is no such thing as ecchi in it ~ Just a relaxed tale about a demon ~ Revolution of the 8th Class Mage It's good since someone took up again the novel ~ Before October, it has been 3 months since the last chapter but now there is ~ This story is mostly about a freak, a genius who got betrayed and go back in time since well... it's kinda obvious that he has regrets ~ like any regular protagonist who go back in time. Neverthless, this time, if I remember correctly, he willingly go back to the past, not like some usual mc who has a heaven-defying luck and go back in the past for no apparent reasons ~
Release that Witch, although if Legend of the Cultivation God continues being as good as it was the first 150 ish chapters, then that'd propably take number one instead. Not being translated though) please someone pick it up :'c
Two novels that haven't been mentioned that I would recommend are: The Ultimate Evolution & The King's Avatar. I suggest skim reading or even completely skipping the first 7 chapters of The Ultimate Evolution though.
Chronicles of Primordial Wars Pivot of the Sky Special novel for me : The Legendary Master's Wife Quickly wear the Face Of the Devil
My current translated favorite novel is Divine Throne of Primordial Blood , I simply love the cultivation system and the MC too much and well, I don't really know if untranslated novels are also okay, but I'm currently hyping Eye of Evolution, someone needs to translate this, seriously...
Also, Rokka no Yuusha - The mystery is simply mindblowing. Mokushiroku Alice - Fast paced developments with good plot twists. Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite - Likeable and badass MC. Main heroine is likeable as well. Good story. A Simple Survey - Kamachi's (author) ideas are great. About the Reckless Girl Who Kept Challenging a Reborn Man Like Me - A heartwarming oneshot.
