anime

it's methodology is also retarded

and uh, I sort of agree

I like most of them, but I wouldn't say any really deserve to top the charts

sao doesnt desevre it

at all

Monogatari is the only one on that list, that deserves to be popular

even if it's a mess at times

tbh im suprised

at least it's a unique novel

irellegular

is still that high

magic highschool genre PepeHands

Index, for the sheer fact of its domination in the early part of the decade

probably deserves it too

2010-2013/2014

that series WAS the industry

even SAO can't compare, to that level of market domination

whats that

got 4th place in the B6 competition

ah

nice

I think something like 80% of LNs are A6

so I don't even know what it was up against

I like that they have an annual LN for ranking LNs

japan

I should have just posted this

way cleaner

I love how Overlord has just disappeared

despite being top 5 the last few years

overlord is dead

almost literally

didn't the author say he wanted to stop, was only continuing out of obligation

well, if the ln went the same way the anime did, I assume it just got worse as it went

spooky honestly

im pretty sure he wanted to quit a while ago

around vol 8 or 9, by my guess

a lot of ln writers have this grand plan

and i dont think he ever had any sort of plan

I think he had 2 or 3 scenes he really wanted to write

the opening in the village, the raid on Nazarack, and Splat

I don't think he put almost any thought into anything else

FFS, he wrote a filler volume 3rd

well

filler vol. 3s are common

I'm going to challenge that

i can provide a lot if you give me a bit

I think they're only common when authours have an anime lined up

ehhh

as that's what they're writing while they support their show

from what ive seen

pre-production begins 1-2 years ahead of time

I'm not saying it always lines up

introduction start vol 1 reinforcement of ideas filler vol4

is something ive seena lot

I don't even think the problems in Overlord came from it being too one-sided

authour just clearly stopped caring at some point

or didn't know what to do next

Why is a shogi novel about a 9 year old bride #4

Because AI is cute

Red Ai is best though

this series should have ended 3 months ago and still nope

i forgot this was next month

I wonder why Hawks is in the poster

Hawks doesn't become important until a couple arcs after this season

WHY

will this season just be the final fight that was completely cut out of the finale?

this show is becoming a less good Oregairu
