The whole world establishment is a very notable thing, and I find myself heavily immersed in his works as long as I keep his established settings and concepts in mind. Sometimes, however, you just want a light (but engaging) read, not a book that will make the postman bear a deep and resentful grudge against me every time he has to bring it to my doorstep.

Another thing much easier to follow in the show...
The god powered chat the Horizon-verse uses for their internet If you want an easy thing to read but still engaging....I mentioned Tokyo Ravens earlier. And KCG bunko's できそこないの救世主 Actually if you can read Black Bullet with no trouble then language is not a problem generally....with LNs the bigger barrier is....complex plot *Looks at Circlet Girl* <_<

EDIT: I just remembered I have reviewed it on BT before. You can read my Denyuuden review (with very minor spoilers) here. Which reminds me, I need to do one for Itsuten some day. Actually, after re-reading my own review, I found it to be pretty epic all over again LOL . Last edited by larethian; 2012-09-20 at 10:53. |

Mismarca eikoku monogatari? Definitely not true. It's a series full of political intrique, and the protagonist only looks weak because his power is too devastating and has to be sealed by his father. I haven't read far, but it's a pretty solid story IMO. The protagonist tragic fate is just too much for me though lol

At least, that is what I heard from a friend. Give it a shot and immerse yourself in it; it will completely betray your expectations.

Gotta put it on my to-read-list. I like intriguing politics, not to mention that after Hagure Yuusha, I'm completely sick of overpowered characters who are too lazy to put in any real effort even in fighting.

Well, since the theme is about 'overcoming despair', you can't have good things happening to the characters (not just the protagonist) without them going through crazy amounts of shit first. |

Might as well contribute something instead of just asking about titles. So, I'll go ahead and recommend 黒鋼の魔紋修復士 (Kuro no Hiera Glaphicos) by Akihiko Ureshino. Relatively unheard series, it's a swords-and-magic fantasy with a Victorian period setting, and much of the appeal comes from the character interactions (especially between the leads, Valeria and Dimitar). While Valeria can (and will definitely) be annoying due to her brash and haughty attitude, she's not completely obnoxious nor excessively conceited. The author shows a lot of her potential growth through her exchanges with Dimitar, and it helps that she's not fixed or rooted in the haughty brash aristocrat archetype. Their back-and-forth banter is also pretty funny.
