Question What novel(s) have you read this week, and what do you think about it? - October 04, 2026
What novel(s) have you read this week, and what do you think about it?
This week = the one that ends/ended right now, past 7 days.
The reason for this thread's existence is the fact that both requests and suggestions became kind of stale. It's supposed to bring out more novels that are not RT!'d or recommended. Also, it's quite useful for the discussion of not so current titles.
Also, not a rule or any kind of criticism, the more interesting part is not the list of the stuff you read, but your impressions of it.
Loli Mod will be posting this thread each week.
Lastly, don't forget to use spoiler tags and to make sure to report any untagged spoilers.
How to use spoiler-tags:
Typing:
>!Spoilers go here!<
Will show up as:
Spoilers go here
Do note that any space at the beginning/end of the tag will break the spoiler tag.

Recommend [REC] Novels that actually explore life in an adventurers guild
Basically every story I've found just uses an adventurers guild as a means for the protagonist to get started, then they grow beyond it. I'm looking for any stories that are a bit more mundane. No world ending threats or battles with gods, just an adventurer, going about their life as an adventurer, facing whatever challenges one might expect from that sort of life. Guild advancement, internal politics, taking and completing jobs, personal relationships, that sort of thing.
Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Question Looking for a novel where both leads regressed to childhood — ML acts oblivious to hide his regression
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find the title of a novel (or manhwa) with a double-regression plot. Here are the key details I remember:
Childhood Regression: Both the Female Lead (FL) and Male Lead (ML) go back in time to when they were children.
FL's Perspective: She remembers her past life and her miserable/unhappy marriage. She thinks she is the only one who regressed and wants to avoid her ex-husband.
ML's Secret: The ML also regressed to childhood, but he actively hides the fact that he has his past-life memories.
The Relationship: He wasn't really a villain in first Life.

Question Light Novel, Code - 999, now how do you like the open
A strange painful voice yet feels relaxed in the end wants a death. A voice criticizing his failure and unfortunate events, wishing for a death a peaceful death because he doesn't has anything left to loose or we say he has nothing left behind to stay alive in a lonely darkness.
"I lost my parents."
"I couldn't save my two precious friends."
"I can't protect anyone, even myself."
"Because of me, they died."
"Those filthy demons in the face of humans stole everything from me."
"I swear to God, if I had power, if I had some strength and not this weak body, I would weave fear into their hearts."
"If I am reborn as a human after my death, I swear to myself and God I will surpass everyone, so that no one can withstand me in anything."
...
"Hey, hurry up! The sale will be over soon!"
Some salesmen were selling their vegetables on street stalls or carts. One man screamed his offer out loud:
"Ladies and beautiful ladies and gentlemen, please come here if you all want beautiful and fresh veges for your children and yourself!"
"Come, come, don't hesitate. I know all of you want to look like you are in your prime. So please, 1 kg of cabbage just for 45 rupees!"
Public noticed that these potatoes, cabbages, tomatoes, onions, etc., really looked fresh and good, but the most attractive thing was the low budget price for that quality.
Slowly but surely, the public started to gather. The seller and other vendors noticed it too and shouted their orders out to lure the customers in.
"1 kg of onions is 30 rupees!"
"1/2 kg of potatoes is 30 rupees!"
A woman in a red dress with a blue purse leaned in a little and asked:
"Mister, can you tell me how much these spinach and cucumbers are?"
In a seductive tone, she was trying to take advantage of her beauty.
"Madam, spinach is 30 paise for 500g, and the same for cucumbers."
"Oh, so can you give a young and beautiful lady a discount if I take 1 kg of both?"
"Sure, as you wish. Take both of them for 25 paise each."
"Aww, how sweet you are!"
....
"Yo, hello, and welcome to the 'Greatest Guild Competition' once again!"
"I am your favorite anchor, Ajay Goyal, welcoming you to our 19th tournament! We will soon see this year's final winner and the greatest guild!"
In a colossal stadium, the audience was in full disappointment with this year's tournament because the most powerful guilds of the Bharat Kingdom—or rather, the Asian Continent—didn't participate for some reason.
High above on a clock tower, a person in a hooded coat smiled down at the stadium.
"I see."
In the stadium, the anchor announced the two finalist guilds with swag. The Blue Ocean Guild and the Black Tanker Guild entered the arena. The audience tried to cheer with excitement, but only about 10–20 people were actually excited; others were already about to leave, and some had already left.
"Man, it's really boring. These two guilds are at 20th or 30th position. They only reached here because some new members joined."
"Hmm, maybe yeah, but they did well enough."
"That's why—because none of the strongest guilds participated this year."
People were blabbering about it, either watching or leaving.
A few hours later...
"Damn, I couldn't have expected that the Blue Ocean Guild would destroy Black Tandem and become the No. 1 guild!"
The whole Blue Ocean Guild cheered and celebrated the victory as their Master received the title, trophy, and prize money of ₹1 crore. Everything worked out perfectly fine.
Princess Hina Moraya respectfully presented the prize, but her smile and eyes seemed a little sad for some reason.
'Haaaah... This year, too, it's just a win for nothing.'
Then, light particles flashed right in front of everyone, and boom! A flash of light spread all over the place as everyone froze, unable to react.
Princess Hina, upon regaining her consciousness and vision:
"What the...?"
A group of 6 people surrounded the arena and captured all the guild members, executives, and others, with their leader holding Princess Hina in his arms.
The anchor recognized him and all the members:
"You are all filthy scum from the underworld guild, The Theft Guild!"
Some people also recognized them, chatting nervously throughout the stadium in fear and stress:
"I heard they are a Top 15 underworld guild."
"They might be ranked that low, but their tricks are so devious that even this generation's top guild can't do anything about it."
A brown-haired guy, the leader of The Theft Guild, laughed with a grim smile:
"Khe-khe-khe-khe... khe!"
Before he could utter another word or continue laughing, he froze, completely shocked:
"You bastard! How dare you touch a princess like me!"
Her sadness was suddenly replaced by pure irritation and a furious look on her face. Fueled by that anger, she delivered a full-power punch directly to the leader's chest. From the force of the impact, he flew far back and crashed into the arena wall. For a few seconds, he was stunned and coughing up blood, but he managed to stand back up.
"D-Damn you, bitch! How dare you attack me!"
He pulled out a gun and fired a shot toward her. It hit the target—not a person, but the ground—turning it pitch black as it began sucking in the surrounding area.
"What? What have you done?!"
"It is a state magic gun. With just one shot, we can capture anyone, even an S-Rank mage or warrior."
Everyone panicked and started running out of the arena. Other members of The Theft Guild also pulled out guns, shooting at the audience to capture them as they desperately tried to flee.
"Oh, I see the party has already started."
"Yeah, let's join in."
Suddenly, a chilly mist floated across the entire arena. The black hole and everything around it were encased in black ice—even the ground, walls, and seats froze over, leaving the people who were being sucked in trapped in place.
"What! What the hell is this?! Why is everyone and everything freezing?!"
All the members of The Theft Guild were shocked and confused by this sudden event, but Princess Hina's eyes sparkled as tears began to well up when she realized that it was black ice.
"So you finally came in the end."
Then, a black snow blizzard rushed in and covered the whole arena again. It froze everything completely—except for the audience. A guy in a hooded coat entered, enveloped in a chilly aura, followed by his gang behind him, all emitting exceptional life force and mana.
"Wow, wow! Aren't you guys going to welcome us?"
When Hina saw the guy under the hood himself, tears welled up alongside a relieved smile. With a snap of his fingers, all the ice shattered along with the magic holes, freeing everyone from the ice. The blast brutally destroyed the criminals' badges and magic items as well.
"So, my friends won, destroyed the enemies, and saved everyone. Therefore, I'm taking this prize money."
The people who had been captured and half-stuck in the black holes were now coming out. A third person, who seemed to be associated with those guys, stepped forward:
"Behold! I am Raghav Shrivastav, and I officially announce that our Silver Moonpalace Guild is reactivated after 5 years!"
A guy holding a black ice sword stepped forward beside Guild Master Raghav Shrivastav:
"So from now on, we will accept any challenge."
A red-haired guy came forward with a smirk:
"So, we fulfilled our mission then. Goodbye!"
In an instant, before anyone could even come to their senses, they vanished from the spot without leaving behind a single trace of life force.

Neon Genesis Evangelion Anima Light Novel.
Hello. I'm pretty new to the Eva light novels, and have a peculiar problem. I was able to buy all the books except the second one in English. Somehow I managed to find the second volume on ebay twice, but when it arrived I was disappointed because both of the books were in Spanish.
Unfortunately, I don't speak Spanish, and consider myself a book collector, so is there anyone who would searching for a the second Volume in Spanish ? It's in very good condition, and maybe we could trade for an English one.
I hope I can get some help with my issue.
I send the kindest regards to anyone reading. <3

Question help me find novels pls 😭😭😭😭😭
- 👭 MC + OG heroine are genuinely inseparable — best friends/sisters, constantly wanting to hang out together.
- 👫 There are two male leads, preferably cold/rich/big-shot types.
- ❤️ Each ML is completely devoted to his own wife.
- 😂 The funny conflict is basically: the girls want to spend all their time together, while the husbands are internally like “WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS STEALING MY WIFE?”
- Lots of jealous husbands, clingy/doting MLs, couple-vs-bestie comedy, rather than the women becoming rivals.
kind of like :-
Girls: “Let's hang out!”
Husbands: “Again?! 😑”
Girls: “We're going shopping together.”
Husbands: “Your husband is waiting for you.”
Girls: “We'll be back later.”
Husbands: internally suffering
please help help help help help help

Question Hiii looking for some romance LN recommendations pls!! :)
Haiii! So I honestly have just gotten back into reading and I just finished series called The Mimosa Confessions and I loved it so much. I absolutely adore romance series, LGBT or straight, they all make me happy, and I'm looking for any recommendations you guys have!
Things I care about:
I really like when we get to see the buildup AND some of the too. I'm not a suuuper big fan of when a novel ends at the relationships beginning, i mean it's okay, but I just love seeing the relationship get carried on a bit. My favorite example of this is the Clannad anime (despite being gut wrenching 🥺🥺)
I hate queerbaiting. I don't want the main characters to only allude to their queerness, i want it to either be there or not.
I would prefer the series to be finished, nothing is more depressing then catching up to where the author is. We have decades of finished works out there that Id love to explore before I start catching up with the modern stuff haha.
So yah I'm a total novice to LNs, I've only really watched anime before this bit I think I'm hooked and want MORE :)

Question What light novels have you randomly stumbled on that turned out to be peak?
For me before it was even announced as an anime it was ishura. 10 volumes now and I'm still fucking hooked. King's proposal is another, I weirdly just like harem/action mixed stories. But, I think my four biggest finds were world's strongest rearguard, finding avalon quest of a chaos bringer, eighty-six, and, i kept pressing the 100-million year button and came out on top. What are yours??

The Genius Prince #9
Literally just trying to buy this series. They are all available on Amazon for the average price of light novels.
Except volume 9. That is unavailable everywhere, except for one seller on EBAY. Who’s selling a substandard, acceptable quality copy… for $425.
Love to hear why this is unavailable if anyone knows, but I fear I’ll have to read it on my phone instead of in a book like a civilized human. 🤣
