List of good jp light novel 

Don't just watch the anime this is epic stuff worth reading

Stories where you have an older big sister like character protecting/taking care of her younger, smaller "persons of interest", usually because they require her protection, or because she desires them in some form. "Love" is not a requirement so long as they have a good relationship.... more>>

The Big Sister character must at least look significantly more mature than the partner, meaning that Lolibabas (Grandmother lolis), or loli adults (which are usually more used as mascot characters), are not counted.

The partner character has to be younger, and most of the time, physically shorter. In cases where they are not shorter, then the older sister character must at least be much more experienced to make up for it (for example, MILF).

Examples:

- Onee-shota (Older sister + Little Boy)
- Female Teacher + Student
- Young Mother + Children
- Older Sister + Younger Sibling

The Protagonist may be the Older Sister-type character, or the one being fancied, doesn't matter.

So to explain some of the terms used:

* "Onee" = the Bis sis, the Onee-chan, the Onee-sama, the Aneue, the MILF, etc.

* "Shota" = When the partner is a little boy
* "Loli" = When the partner is a little girl
* "Shonen" = when the partner is a male young adult, who doesn't look or behave like a Shota anymore
* "Shoujo" = when the partner is a female young adult, who doesn't look or behave like a Loli anymore

Limited to JP stories, no Chinese, Korean, Western, etc. <<less

Enjoy Reading guys!~

A mix of old, new, JPN, CHN, KR novels. ... more>>

List of novel that have good plot, especially novel that give different perspectives than your usual trope. Not in particular order. Mostly not romance focused, might contain bl/gl. Does bl/gl even matter when it almost didn't exist?

No self insert, no useless harem, no narcissistic young master, no assasin reincarnated into young lady of some family.

They are all translated at some point, so you should be able to find them somewhere on the internet. <<less

These are some great novels that I'm reading or intend to read in the future.

My favourite Japanese light novels (anime)

the title. It's literally all romance because I can't stomach reading anything else. There are various kinds of romance here, so if you're just looking for fluff/sugar go look at my other list. This is just what I enjoy the most. (todo im updating other list rn). ... more>>

edit: in hindsight there may be a few things that aren't romance but it's pretty much all romance don't worry about it <<less

No description.

I've been reading LN since 2017, I initially started with JP and then moved on to KR and CN, especially those with character names that don't appear as random jargon to my eyes (as most of the CN ones), but with a few exceptions (some KN ones).... more>>

I mostly prefer fantasy with a bit of romance on the side, but also don't mind other genres when done well. These are the ones I liked that I hope will keep you entertained.

I will keep adding more as I remember/read others.

Honourable mentions (not on NU):

 The beginning after the End, Mother of Learning, Supreme Magus, Underland <<less
