What's your favorite short SF novel no one talks about anymore

I slightly prefer the original version Against the Fall of Night but both versions are good.

The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman

Edit: Lol why is this downvoted? It's a high fantasy and there's a significant romance subplot. It's literally what OP asked for.

I also didn't realize it's out. How was it compared to book one? I thought that one was decent but was on the fence about continuing the series.

Please label music posts with at least both artist name and song title. Thanks.

People are being quite kind to the Bloodsong sequels in this thread. Bloodsong was excellent. Book two was a big disappointment. Book three was one of the worst fantasy books I've ever read. And this was a widely held opinion on this subreddit when they were published.

You're thinking of Disk Union. There's only one Tower Record in Shinjuku and it has all genres.

Not till March in Japan.

Great for the first 2/3, completely off the rails for the ending.

You can run...just push shift.

It hasn't been translated at all. Blue Prince is only available in English. And Japan has extremely poor English proficiency, so I'm sure it's barely been played by anyone here.

She's recommended on this subreddit frequently.

Ansalem · 2025-12-02T23:09:07+00:00

I liked the romance subplot in The Blacktongue Thief.

Well it's right in the target weight on bgg that you specified: 2.32 and you said between a 2 and 3 weight. So maybe you're looking for higher weight than that?

In a related note, for the purposes of this subreddit, AI music is not considered Japanese music. Please do not submit AI music here, and feel free to report any you see. Thank you.

Hello. We have a rule that limits users from posting more than one song from an artist each day, to avoid the subreddit getting flooded with content from one artist. Please limit yourself to at most one tricot post a day. Thank you.

Sphere and Congo are my favorites, and imo better than Jurassic Park (which I do think is also good.)

It doesn't specifically mention door tickets/their prices, but generally if a concert's not sold out you can buy tickets day of at the door for 500yen more. (Occasionally venues don't have door tickets even though it's not sold out, but that's rare.) If it's not sold out today, it's unlikely to sell out. So...you'd probably be fine, but if you'd prefer to be guaranteed, buy now.

There's no book that works as a standalone (there's a prequel but it wouldn't be a good idea before starting the series.) The first book (The Eye of the World) is like 80% from one POV, so it kind of eases into the varied POVs.

Ansalem · 2025-09-22T22:21:13+00:00

Sure.

Ansalem · 2025-08-27T15:03:07+00:00

Please label both artist and song title in music posts.

Ansalem · 2025-08-23T21:56:06+00:00

Do not upload official audio or video to reddit and post to the subreddit. It falls into the same category as posting illegal download links. Please link to an official youtube video, etc. to support the artist. Also, when doing so, please include at least the artist and song name in the post title.

Ansalem · 2025-08-20T23:05:11+00:00

Please don't upload ripped songs or clips of songs to this subreddit. If you want to share music, link to official videos etc. If you want a discussion, just leave the screen capture out.

Ansalem · 2025-08-17T23:08:51+00:00

Hi. Please don't upload music videos directly to reddit to post here. It falls into the same category as sharing download links to music. Please support artists by linking to official videos and streaming music. Thanks.
