Best new light novels of 2025 thread!! 1) Miri Lives in the Cat's Eyes A touching supernatural romance story with Golden Age mystery elements. Unusual combination, but it really makes the plot stand out! University aged cast is also a plus.

God I love the Brunhild light novels. The first volume is technically a standalone while all the others are prequels, but taken together they're an epic saga about the cyclical nature of violence and revenge... They all range between 8/10 to 10/10 LNs imo

『おまえだけは選ばない』 読了。 圧倒的な衝撃。 ため息が漏れるほどだった。 これを「芸術」と呼ぶべきか迷うけれど、 LOWRISE先生の美学とも言えるイラストと相まって、 あえて言わせてほしい。 ――本作は間違いなく、 一つの「芸術品」である、と。 ↓

The idea that a faux-China setting that's not meant to be historically accurate could even cause MILD upset among some people is the reason why we get the same boring faux-Europe setting in every fantasy ever because of the perceived "barrier" to entry

Finished 'Sexiled' (Light Novel), I was so sold on seeing 2 badass women fighting incels and sexism, but I was so invested in this series and I'm really glad I read it. It's a really fun time and I love Tanya and Laplace so much+

What happens when a quiet and gentle (but surprisingly assertive?) girl starts dating a confident, outgoing tomboy with a hidden cute side? That’s what Shino and Ren, two girlfriends who can’t keep their hands off each other, aim to find out! 📖 Shino & Ren, Vol. 1 🎨 @minori_chigusa 🔗 Preview and order Shino & Ren, Vol. 1 here: buff.ly/worecXu

@Sebasu_tan I think cat people strike me as more patient and willing to put up with bullshit, maybe 😆

@frog_kun Wait, why? As a cat person (even though I do like dogs too), I can’t wrap my head around this xD

Please explain this to me lol. Assuming I know nothing about a person other than they are a dog or cat person, I would rather place my life into the hands of the cat person. I am a dog person, and I am married to a dog person.

holy crap... its just like subaru said...

@CloudMonkeyTWT For just a hot second, I felt like fighting you 😭

Reinhard and Felt is a bad ship because he's 20 while she's 15

Since there's only has a small handful of publishers (in both EN and JP), it's fairly easy to keep track of new releases on a single spreadsheet tab. From there, it's a matter of reading the blurbs, looking at the art and characters, and deciding what to pick up.

The good thing about being a light novel fan is that it is easy to find the books you like. Almost everybody first finds LNs through an anime they like. It's a bit harder to find good LNs that haven't been adapted, but still very doable.

The recent comments of "it's impossible to find f/f SFF" or "there's no m/m fantasy" (both demonstrably untrue) have reminded me of something I learned as a librarian, which is that most people genuinely don't know how to find books they will like.

@Sebasu_tan Maybe if he becomes uber famous it'll be back in demand 🤔

@frog_kun You will have to cash it in fairly early on. In like ten years it won’t be worth much. xD

My kid's daycare sent me a wholesome group photo of all the kids. I see my son in the corner picking his nose. Guess I'll keep that one as blackmail material for the future...
