Novels I Actually Enjoy (JP)

Novels I Actually Enjoy (JP)
Mostly LNs on this list, since I don't tend to read much Japanese WNs. Most of the stuff on here are pretty much what you'd expect a person who got into anime/manga back in the early 00's would like. Nothing super shocking or unknown, I think.

Also, just want to add that Otherside Picnic would 100% be on this list if it was actually listed on NU. It's just a really fantastically written little spooky horror with some very interesting characters. Would recommend.

My absolute favorite LN of all time. I even own most of the volumes in Chinese. The original 2003 anime is also coincidentally my favorite... more>>

I don't think Baccano! really needs any introduction. It's a fantastic LN with a great adaptation. Narita is fantastic.

I don't think I'd enjoy this series half as much without the truly excellent Boogiepop Phantom anime made by Madhouse in 2000. I'm glad that... more>>

Back before the manga bubble burst (and the crash of Borders), I remember getting the first two volumes of Shinigami no Ballad and being absolutely... more>>

I love both this LN and the manga adaptation of it. It went places I never expected, and I absolutely adore how it actually ended.... more>>

An inevitable tragedy that sticks with you long after it's over. This LN truly had some incredibly heart-wrenching lines. Probably the closest an LN has... more>>

Still shocked that a series /this/ good didn't gain more traction, but then again, it's not really an LN exactly... I wonder if it'd have... more>>

To be quite honest, I find parts of Kieli excessively slow and meandering, and I still have not (yet) read the last few volumes. But... more>>

Shirodaira Kyo can write on a cereal box and I would read it.

Wow, the first WN on this list! (Though I've been reading the published LN version.) This one's pretty in-line with modern WN trends, along with... more>>
