1. The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor (http://www.royalroadl.com/table-of-content/)
2. ID-The Greatest Fusion Fantasy (japtem.com/)
3. Kill No More (japtem.com/)
4. Ark (japtem.com/)
5. Dawnbringer: The Story of the Machine God (http://imoutoliciouslnt.blogspot.ca/p/dawnbringer.html)

All Korean fantasy/sci-fi genre, blasphemous I know right?

1. and 4. are VRMMORPG.
2. and 3. are fantasy
5. is sci-fi

These are all highly recommended and I'm hoping to spread the literary masterpieces that are Korean LNs!

Currently:
1. Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (Novels which focus on characters instead of battles BANZAI)
2. Haruhi Suzumiya Series (eventhough the fan-TL of the last two vol.'s was pretty bad)
3. Campione!
4. Oda Nobuna no Yabou
5. OreShura (underrated, AI-CHAN IS LOVE)

Would probably like if I could find a damn TL :mrgreen::
- OniAi

Would probably like if I came to reading them: Infinite Stratos, BakaTest, High School DxD, Hidan no Aria, ToaruIndex

Partially like:
- SAO (Vol. 1 oh gawd yes; Vol. 2 & 3 oh gawd no and stopped; why would he kill off the great floating thing right off vol. 1? Why?)
- Zero no Tsukaima (sadly didn't come to a true end :()

Oh gawd. If you do this, I'll give you my bow and eternal love.

EDIT: OreShura's also on-going here, with a novice-chinese-TL so don't know if there are any TL-mistakes, well, wouldn't know either cause my Japanese/Chinese isn't worth mentioning and/or existing.

And to avoid derailing this thread I'll stop here.

I'm amazed that some people still read KC after the anime has died down so long.

Though it's kind of hard choosing the best 5, let's give a try:

1 - AntiMagic Academy "The 35th Test Platoon"
2 - Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
3 - Gakusen Toshi Asterisk
4 - Mondaiji-tachi
5 - Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance
I, appear from the closet. Ehem.
