I hadn’t actually read the Great Cleric is it a good Light Novel?

Well, imho, isn't the greatest.
taking in consideration that I haven't read tha many LN's …
the plot have some quite isekai tropes.
The hero, which doesn't considering himself that...
Hero starting from the botton, … something in line with "Tate no yuusa (Rising of the Shield Hero).

Also some other funny parts like the Hero being a completely a weirdo.

has some funny parts, but I find some chaps quite boring (to description of parts fully avoidable up to the point to thinking to stop reading it.
I still giving it a chance… but depends on Vol 3… I might drop it.
Right now my rating for it would be 4 to 5 over 10.

I think it have like 6 or soVolume in japanese… So I beg it get better from V3 ...

@Scarlet knight
Which one I can recomend if u do like humorous ones, Tearmoon Empire.
Stillnot the greatest,but the manner the Author wrote it make it quite hilarious.

I started it as try…and get hooked with it. finishing reAding the Vol 1 in a row. and vol 2 keep me quite hooked too.
Now are just finished pre-pub v4. … so in 2-3 weeks they will start with Volume 5. I think this is a short series… with 6 or 7 volumes in japan. (not sure if still open or not)

I’ve started volume 3 of Tearmoon and it is quite hilarious but also quite unrealistic too.

But I like it so far it’s worth reading to have some laughs.

I read some Tearmoon and couldn't get into it. It was either unrealistic or just terrible writing. I can't remember which. Maybe it was both.

Ryuuko · Post by **Ryuuko** » 21 Mar 2021, 02:05

I’d say the writing is fine but it is completely unrealistic. It’s a story you read for laughs not content.

Reading Death March into a parallel world.

I read the first book. It covers a lot more than the anime. Some parts are quite different too.

Overall it was a good read. I should read more of the series.

I’m going to check out How not to Summon a Demon Lord LN series.

Further I purchased the first volume of Bofuri so I’ll comment on it as well. The latter hasn’t been published yet so it’ll be later when I read it this month

I can't imagine how not to summon a demon lord LN being any more tasteful than the anime was.

I say that, but I watched all of it. Cringing often, but I watched it.

I also read all 19 volumes of Mushoku Tensei WN and it never really stops being cringe either. But its certainly also a better story than how not to summon a demon lord.

Well I haven’t started yet. I’ve decided to start on another LN. I’m thinking it’s a dud though.

I’m going to read a bit more but so far it’s been a fairly dull tale.

The main character starts OP as a 4 year old.

Also presented as a villainess, though that is in the title of the LN. But in this case the character is without a doubt a villainess.

Here’s the title:
Villainess: Reloaded! ~Blowing Away Bad Ends with Modern Weapons~

So I moved onto another LN that’s just starting.

Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire ♀

So far I’m enjoying this one. It’s reincarnation but it isn’t Isekai. A Hero King died and then he’s reborn as a girl who becomes a squire. Same world though. Though supposedly a lot of time has passed since he died. Not sure how much. It leads you to believe around a thousand years but doesn’t actually state how long it was.

I've also started this one. And yes, is quite enjoyble so far! I just finished with prepub part 3. (chapter IV, inglis age 12 )

it ended in a Cliffhanger !!!.

I also will try to catch up with: A wild last Boss appear Volume 4 on… (it expired before I reach it) but so far it made me a bit too bored reading it.
so most likely I wil end droping it.

@Momogari I just finished watching last night the anime, (Mushoku Tensei, Jobless reincanation) and it got me quite hanging for the second season!
I wish I will try the LN's …
