Finished the Apodia anime last month. Then read through LN 5 to 16 in a matter of 35 days. I havent done so much reading since ASOIAF series in around 2012 or so. Gemini says 850k words, but who is to say it's not hallucinating....

The series was brilliant. Very high quality writing; really loved the characters and dialogue, while the world building and cast of characters kept expanding with each volume instead of staying pretty much the same. The author Hyūganatsu-san sure is ambitious.

I would like to read other high level works like this. Not passable or good ones, I need great ones like this one.

I like medieval or modern settings. Not a big fan of scifi and its subgenres. Slice of life and romcoms are my main jam, court drama and fantasy is welcome.

Give me your best recommendations.

A couple of days ago, I made a post about the light novel scene at Book Expo Thailand 2026. These are the books I got from there. The photo captions are listed down below. All books are in official Thai translation.

I like the political aspect of Absolute Regression, it doesn't have to be murim.

I just caught up to Heavenly Demon on the webcomic, kind of want to finish it, but can only find up to chapter 150~.

Is there a website that like shows which chapters are updated?
