Got about 100 chapters left of this.

Have started this. It's started really well.

New chapters take a while with this one, but it's enjoyable for the most part.

Started this one. It's a little more ecchi than what I usually go for, but enjoyable. The MC is likeable and not stupid and the supporting characters feel fleshed out, albeit superficially in places.

Not available on Novel Updates. I'm less than ten chapters in, so we'll see.

Started reading this. I generally go for martial arts based novels, but decided to give this a go and it's actually quite decent.

Started this ages ago and thought it was one of the worst things I had the pleasure of reading, but for some unknown reason, I didn't delete it. Anyway, after a few months I ended up coming back to it and persisted a little bit and then to my surprise, it started getting good. 900 chapters in and it's now actually enjoyable.

Started this. Let's see how it goes.

I started reading this. It reminds me of Unrivaled Medicine God, but not as... I don't want to say "good" as UMG had its own special charm. But in general, it's not a terrible read thus far.

Not available on NovelUpdates, so I'm using GoodReads alternative. This is a good book. The characters are well fleshed out and are able to call forth several emotions, especially disdain.

The ratings for this novel aren't the greatest, but it's a highly enjoyable read IMO

Haven't read this, but just came across a whole instance dedicated to it today.

This is the only Japanese LN that I've read, I'm otherwise mainly a manga reader. It kept popping up in my recommendations on MyAnimeList, and I was intrigued by the synopsis with the presence of the "romance" tag:

Kazuki Hoshino values his everyday life above all else. He spends the days carefree with his friends at school, until the uneventful bliss suddenly comes to a halt with the transfer of the aloof beauty Aya Otonashi into his class and her cold, dramatic statement to him immediately upon arrival:

"I'm here to break you. This is the 13,118th time I've transferred. After so many occasions, I have to say that this is all starting to grate on me, which is why this time I'm spicing things up with a proper declaration of war."

And with those puzzling words, the ordinary days that Kazuki loved so dearly become a cycle of turmoil and fear—Aya's sudden appearance signals the unraveling of unseen mysteries surrounding Kazuki's seemingly normal friends, including the discovery of mysterious devices known as "boxes."

I eventually got around to reading it when I'd gotten a craving for the "enemies to lovers" trope. It was quite good overall (I rated it a 9), though it does flirt with what I consider to be cheap rage bait at some points.

This was my introduction to the genre. For me it's one of the greatest novels by one of the greatest authors, but I'm of course biased. I feel like a lot of people felt they outgrew this novel and the author I Eat Tomatoes, but for me, this is the epitome of great entertainment.
