Please do not compare GOSICK with Kami-sama. I read several volumes of GOSICK, and came to understand how DIFFERENT they are. I can't really see the similarities between them. Plot wise, character development wise, Kami-sama wins, hands down. Relationship wise, fine, Kami-sama's (love wise) relationship is getting worse, but other than that, I would say Kami-sama is way better in all cases.

As I mentioned, I prefer Kamisama over GOSICK. I also mentioned that I did not read much of it, and what I did read, was manga. The similarities I notices is about a male lead character, who happens to be an idiot, or so it's mentioned by the other lead, and a small female, doll-looking character who has a bad mouth. From what I noticed, the gather knowledge differently, but they do piece together the knowledge. Both like sweets, which isn't uncommon in female character. There are differences, but you cannot deny that there are similarities.

I may not be aware about how different they are, but that is only because I did not fully read the manga, or did I begin reading the novel. So Please show restraint on abusive or defensive on such trivial matters. So what if people say it's similar. Just leave it alone, or say you disagree. Anything more than that would be considered annoying, unless it was asked for. I do not know if I interpreted what you wrote differently than how you meant it, but that is how I interpreted it.

Not unless someone gets me a chinese version of kamimemo 8. It's hard for me to read it with my limited understanding of japanese :( . I did manage to discern that it has some relations with Yondaime, his mahjong hall and his father though.

Oh yeah, Chinese translations haven't reached that part yet.

Anyone knows how the heck does the author manages to maintain that many series at the same time?

Just a word of thanks to Zephyrus for TL'ing this series (and PapaKiki as well). It's a great series so I'm looking forward to more.

I assume that they have made at least 2-3 volumes before unleashing the first volume, and depending on how the first goes, they make more. That's what I assume. I personally can't write that much.

6 series, or more. I am thinking it might be the Chinese translations, but I am likely to be wrong. Most are still coming out consistently. So your assumption is likely wrong.

We are talking about the series that this author writes.

Forgive me to use Chinese here, because I do not know the Chinese titles for some:

神的記事本 (Kami-sama no Memochou) - 7 volumes
紫苑的血族 (A H-game(?) with the same name and world setting is available) - 2 volumes
劍之女王與烙印之子 - 7 volumes
離別的鋼琴奏鳴曲(Ended) - 5 volumes with ENCORE as side volume
櫻色家族 (Sakura Familia) - 3 volumes
死圖眼的伊妲卡 - 1 volume
火目的巫女(Probably Ended in Japan? One of his earliest works?) - 3 volumes
閒狼作家是美少女妖怪? - 2 volumes

These are just the Chinese translated titles. Not sure if there are more. But these Chinese titles are almost all ongoing.

Edit:
Additional Information:
Damn, I should have just wiki-ed him. According to Chinese wiki, his list of works consists of:

火目の巫女 (火目的巫女) - Ongoing
神様のメモ帳 (神的記事本 - Kami-sama no Memochou) - Ongoing
さよならピアノソナタ (離別的鋼琴奏鳴曲 - Sayonara Piano Sonata) - Ended
死図眼のイタカ (死圖眼的伊妲卡) - Ended
さくらファミリア! (櫻色家族! - Sakura Familia!) - Ongoing
ばけらの! (閒狼作家是美少女妖怪?) - Ongoing
剣の女王と烙印の仔 (劍之女王與烙印之子 - Sword Queen and the Branded Child) - Ended November 2011
すべての愛がゆるされる島 - Single Volume, Ended
シオンの血族 (紫苑的血族) - Ongoing
終わる世界のアルバム - Single Volume, Ended
花咲けるエリアルフォース (綻放花朵的飛行兵器) - Ongoing
生徒會探偵キリカ - Ongoing

7 Ongoing series according to Chinese wiki, not sure how updated it is, but you get the picture.

Edit2:
P.S. heres a link to his blog or something?
http://www.d3.dion.ne.jp/~hikaru_s/nvs/
A list of his upcoming works and all. You can almost see the list of Ongoings are ongoing indeed!

After reading my post above, I am pretty sure you have this question in mind:
Spoiler! :
Is he human?
My answer is no. That is why he is the owner of Kami-sama no Memochou.

Heck. Japanese authors or too fast, or too lazy. Why are there no compromises...?

Mother of God.

Well, this author writes about music, mystery, Dark Age fantasy and I-don't-know-what-else. He's a notch above many authors.

I'm sorry, but he/she must have a system... Maybe some ghost writers. lol, though I doubt it. Could be that Japanese writing system doesn't require as much as the American ones. Example being that one word is equal to one character or such. I'm not really sure about this because I don't know any Japanese.
