I haven't read that many fantasy novels so far, but I enjoyed it. If you don't need your LNs to be dripping with moe, ecchi and comedy stuff, I'd recommend giving the first volume a try. Personally I really like the setting, including the magic system, and the characters with their quirks.

I was checking out the Maoyuu Maou Yuusha manga a few minutes ago, but I'm a little weirded out by its format. It's weird seeing successful light novs written in script format. O.O
I've been a fan of anime for 8+ years, but these days I spend most of my time silently criticizing the ecchi. *staaare*

I'm also the author of Reaper Ex Magus, a serial novel heavily inspired by my favorite light novels. Please check it out!

MMY began as merely 2ch posts. It was not even in novel format.
Log Horizon is the first real novel format done by the author even though it started as a web novel as well.

So far in March I've read the following books:

- Ranobetsu maku nashi
Story about a young novelist with an allergy against 2D stuff falling in love with a Fujoshi. His label chooses to ditch their novels department because of poor revenue, but he gets an offer from his freelancer editor in charge to continue work at a light novel label that targets the rotten kind of girl...
It was a pretty funny (and partly serious) read -- a comedy to my tastes. I already marked the remaining 2 volumes for my next purchase.

- Mizuki Shigeko-san to Musubaremashita
Won the special prize in the last Dengeki writing contest, but sadly it didn't quite live up to my expectations. It wasn't bad, but I don't think I care enough to buy another volume.

- Dragon Buster
Oriental fantasy light novel by the author of Iriya no Sora. The story follows a pretty common plot, but it is excellently written, although uses way too many Chinese terms for my taste. Revolves around a blue-eyed and discriminated boy who is probably the last person who knows a certain style of martial art, and the cheeky, childish 18th (iirc?) princess of the kingdom. I'm looking forward to the third volume.

- know
Futuristic WTF-type novel that explores the word "to know" from a new perspective. I love the author.

- Mori no Majuu ni Hanataba wo
Romance between a boy and a mandrake girl. Nothing special, but I liked it. Probably purchasing another LN by the author that takes place in the same world.

- Vampire Summertime
Romance between a human and a vampire. DAMMIT THAT VAMPIRE GIRL IS TOO CUTE. Finished it in one day. May they live happily ever after.

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

I find it oddly humorous.

I just bought a lot of novel on sale, the cheapest books costs about 36 cents, while the most expensive one would be around a dollar eighty. I think a bought everything that cost around those prices, now I got lots of stuff to read (or sell).

I am currently reading Absolute Duo Volume 2. I think the translation is very good.
I suppose I shouldn't expect reader to understand translator and editor hard work to translate this light novel. So I hope you can appreciate our hard work

I recently read High School DxD volume 16. It was quite interesting. I wonder if we get to see more of Gasper's other self in the future.
I'm currently reading Gekka no utahime to magi no ou. Interesting so far. I didn't like Maria at first, but I changed my opinion after chapter 3. I love Lunaria.
