Yes. Any time I'm reading the most recently released volume of a really good light novel and the page number hits 300 I get scared the book is going to end and that I'm going to have to wait months for the next volume to be released.

Absolurely terrifying.

stand in the cheater corner

I think you mean the book and curry corner.

See, now I am jealous and want to stand in the corner as well. That's just not right, I tell you!

I have took a look and suprisingly there are a few horror LN licensed. https://j-novel.club/series?search=tag%3A%22horror%22

I only read Her Majesty’s Swarm from that list and wouldn't call it horror. It's your basic videogame isekai.

There’s not much scary in Fluffy LNs, but here’s some ‘Scary’ bits.

Didn’t I say to make my abilities average - Volume 16

Mild Vol. 16 spoilers

This volume is the lead up to the big fight.

What’s scary? The thought that volume 17 might be the end of the series!

Death March to a parallel world rhapsody

That there is a 6 months wait until the next volume

This is a malicious misinterpretation of the assignment, but I like Bookworm so I'm willing to look the other way.

This is a malicious misinterpretation of the assignment

This brings back memories, my teachers told me the same thing.

[–] NineSwords@ani.social 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, after your cheating here I would imagine you'd be the type to hand in a 5 page essay with one of the letters E-S-S-A-Y written in huge font on each page. Delivering it with a insufferable smug grin as well.

Since I don't read books from the horror genre I'm sitting this one out.
