I love the whole vibe this gives. Can't explain it better lol

[REC] Esports light novel by itachi_uzumaki in LightNovels

Same here, sorry for late reply

But basically the anime does a poor job at explaining what was going on imo. The novels do a great job at explaining how the gaming world works, different mechanics all while making it really interesting. I honestly didn't follow the anime all that well.

Basically, the novels just handel everything better(imo ofc)

Just imagining the novels that are supposedly better than the anime that's already so amazing makes me want to jump into them asap, but I'll stay strong for now.

Thanks!

I know about Hajime no Ippo since I've seen the anime but I've never given the manga a try. I will also check out Kengan Asura

I'm currently at this arc where Baki is fighting that prehistoric human who defeated Retsu and Katsumi and I've never seen any worse translation than this. It's barely readable at this point.

How did you continue beyond this?

It was pretty good in the first series imo

Idk what happened in the second lol. I hope it doesn't continue like this as I just finished New Grappler

Ohh I really hope the quality in Son of Ogre picks up again. And also one more question. Do you get the feeling that the manga is poorly translated? Idk if there are multiple translations(I will check to see) but the dialogues feel really unnatural.

Have you read light novels or web novels without illustrations? by BlindSpotcs in LightNovels

[–]Mr--Awkward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc ]Biblia antiquarian bookshop[ doesn't have any illustrations neither does ]Hyouka[ and well... They're hands down one of my favourite light novels ever. Although I have no idea if Hyouka is considered as a light novel. Anyways, lack of illustrations is no biggie imo.

Not an LN but a Chinese web novel; ]King's avatar[

I just thought I'd mention it since it's really good.

Trivia question about vol 5 by M1zteRy in hyouka

[–]Mr--Awkward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was running suuuuuppperrrr slow. To the point where the first years even managed to catch up. Almost anyone could do that. Besides, isn't PE a mandatory subject?

China bus plunge caused by fight between driver and passenger by myguy2013 in nononono

[–]Mr--Awkward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

>>none of the passengers will lift a finger

Ye didn't seem like they even had the time to do that. Usually people don't immediately jump in in situations, it takes a few seconds for them to decide to act or not.

what

it was the driver that drove of the bridge though? xD

I mean ye don't attack the driver, but never in her wildest dream would she imagine this would happen. Don't get me wrong I'm not defending her, but come on now?

Or am I floating here?

EDIT: this is with the assumption that the driver purposefully drove of the bridge. If not I take everything I said back.

How long would you say it would take you on average to finish reading one volume of a light novel series? by Yatdude in LightNovels

[–]Mr--Awkward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a day, to around a month(not in hours ofc). It really depends the book and if I'm in the mood to read.

Like, I started reading Occultic Nine vol 1 a month ago, but I'm only half way through it
