Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!

Well, well, well, I wasn't expecting myself to post here again, but it doesn't fell right to see posts about the KonoRano in different topics (2012 & 2013) every year. And Oregairu went really well this year, so why not? The complete list for 2013 is in this post. I left in bold some personal recommendations.

Spoiler for Top 60 Light Novels 2013:

Spoiler for Top 60 Illustrators:

Spoiler for Top 30 Female Characters:

Spoiler for Top 30 Male Characters:

I don't what it's the difference between the HP votes and the "monitor" votes so I can't comment about it, but it's fun to see how the ranking would be in different cases. Btw, I'd prefer to see two rankings instead of only one: A HP ranking to see my favorite series and a Collaborators ranking to search for new titles to read.

True Position - Total Points - HP Points (Internet? votes) - Collaborators Votes - Monitor (?) votes

Spoiler for Top 30 Light Novels HP:

Spoiler for Top 30 Light Novels Collaborators:

Spoiler for Top 30 Light Novels "Monitors":

The "monitors" group is kind of like the target demographic group. They are light novel readers who are between 12 to 18 years old and read at least 51 light novel series in a year.

Interesting. I'm planning to read Ben-To, but I'd like to read No Game No Life also.

Glad to see DxD and Mahouka's illustrators at the top :3

Tatsuya is getting more fans (even some fujoshi whom are uploading some disturbing images with him in yaoi-mode D: ).

In the end, a thread for KonoRano was eventually formed Now this is awkward since we've spread the discussions over the New Release thread as well as Index Light Novel...


Ah what the heck.... this isn't the first time I've copy pasta-

*copy pasta*



Given the undeniable massive rise in popularity, the only thing the rest of us needed to speculate is who's going to be second place But as it turns out, we didn't need to do that either so we'll move on to third place

六花の勇者 is this year's 'Circlet Girl', with massive support from the collaborators but barely any from the public or that third party.

Baka-Test isn't going anywhere as expected.

OreImo and Durarara triumphantly reclaimed their position back in the top 10.

OMG! Horizon actually broke into the Top Ten LOLOLOL...!

AW almost halves it's distance from SAO, but still not it enough... I doubt it would get a chance like this again until three years later.

Ben-to fell like a rock, Haganai even worse.

Kokoro Connect keeping it steady.

Kino isn't going anywhere.

It's amazing they accepted Hideyoshi as a female contestant... and the fact that he manage to enter both top 30 at that...

With Progressive now helping to milk the series for years to come, I suspect the top 2 positions to be lock in eternal battle between SAO and Index for a long time. Its quite possible for Mahouka to break the deadlock when it finally gets an Anime... After all people responded well to Kirito so I expect no different for Tatsuya since they're both cut from the same haxx cloth.

Now Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come ga Machigatteiru? That's one of the biggest surprise this year- coming out of almost nowhere it easily broke into the top ten for all categories. To me it feels (as in my gut feeling) like the new Haganai, hopefully it avoids the mistakes of that one... Speaking of Haganai, that series dropped really fast after a promising leap two years ago... The only thing holding it in place are its two Heroines.

As I've talked to Kuro before, there are some questionable zero votes from the critics... Titles like DxD and Papakiki getting zero votes are normal, but when titles like Durarara, Baccano, Kino, AW, Kokoro Connect, Sakurasou gets zero support, things start to get eybrow-raising-worthy.
