Name of the Light Novel: Spice & Wolf

Why is it your favorite Light Novel?

Basically Spice & Wolf introduced me into the world of light novels. I still remember how much sleep time I sacrificed just to marathon this series.

Character development is definitely the highlight of this series. Especially the relationship between Holo and Lawrence, I enjoyed every bit of their sweet interactions and fun dialogues. Also, I did not expect some of the bargaining scenes to be that intense and intriguing. The medieval atmosphere is well created through the unique culture of the different towns and the people's lifestyles. It makes the two's journey even more memorable. All in all it was extremely satisfying to witness their journey from start to finish. I cherished all those heartwarming moments this LN provides.

I'm so excited for the sequel that's planned to release in September, it's like a dream come true for me. We're also getting two separate volumes which is amazing!

As a side note I had a hard time whether to put S & W or Alderamin on the Sky as my favorite. Alderamin is the best LN I have read in these 2 years but since it's still ongoing, I'll go with S & W for now.

Name of the Light Novel: Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria

Why is it your favorite Light Novel?

Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria exceeded my expectations in every way. The dialogue, characters and the whole plot in general are just absolutely breathtaking.

One of its strongest points is the author's writing style. The narrations are well-written, maintaining the same mysterious atmosphere throughout the series as well as keeping the reader in the dark. Yet at the same time, the author drops just enough hints for the reader to pick up onto and begin to piece together the bigger picture.

The only thing I really disliked was its romance aspect, it was't bad, but it kind of ruined the otherwise dark theme.

Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria is definitely hands down the best LN I've read (though I haven't read many so...)

Name of the Light Novel: Spice and Wolf

Why is it your favorite Light Novel?

To be honest Spice and Wolf was my first Light Novel I read from start to finish. And I absolutely loved it.

Even now after reading some more stuff, I still consider it to be the best of the best out there. From the world building to the characters, everything it has to offer just bought me instantly.

To this day, this is one of only two LN's that gave me quite serius PPDS (The other one was Mushoku Tensei, but there is no point talking about that, even though it was also very good) and that's what is the most important factor for me. When the story and presented world is able to let me completly sink into it, then it means it's doing it's job.

PS: Holo x Lawrence best pairing evah

Name of the Light Novel: Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari

Why is it your favorite Light Novel?

I think it's the first Light Novel that I've read and it left a great impression on me. I still remember how I read this non-stop for 6 hours, and how I got so addicted on reading that I continued reading it at school and social events.

The development of the story is nice, and I really enjoy the dark comedy in it. Personally, I think that it is pretty well written. The serious parts didn't get me bored, and the comedic parts always made me smile - sometimes they even got me laughing out loud. The sad parts also got me bawling.

Also, the way how the author describe things is remarkable. I can imagine almost every scene there is and feel myself get absorbed into the story. I actually got excited while imagining the scenes as I read it. That doesn't happen often.

Honestly though, I don't really like the ending, but at least it ended without a significant amount of questions left unanswered.

Anyways, I still really like this novel. I can imagine how I will go back and reread the novel one day.
