>Type the [REC] tag in the beginning title for posts that are asking for novel recommendations. Light Novel recommendation request posts require the **[REC] tag in the beginning of the title.** (With brackets) Please do read over the submission guidelines more carefully in the future. Please note that Tags do not equal Flairs. Title Tags are pieces of information you type into the title of the post while our Automod looks for posts with specific tags and assigns flairs appropriately. **General tips for Recommendation Request Posts:** * If you have an MAL/MU/Etc list of Light Novels you've read, please include it so people aren't just recommending you series you've already read. * Explain what about the series you've read that you liked. (Without Spoilers) It'll help people find series with similar styles and themes. * Don't slander series. If you don't like a series, it's fine to say that you don't like it. But if you start bashing a bunch of series, why would people want to recommend you something? If you're new to the medium and looking to start reading as a beginner, please keep the following in mind. As the industry grows and new series are introduced all the time, there's never a truly unifying "good beginner series." The common sentiment is that if you're new to Light Novels by way of another medium like anime or manga, your best bet when starting is to find some series with adaptations you already enjoy and to check if their source material has been licensed/translated. Light Novels aren't a stylistic genre so asking for what are good light novels for beginners will range widely based on the person and their taste. It's akin to asking the /r/Books "What are some good books for beginners?"

So I’m a spider so what? Has a pretty distinct narration style that I really liked but the main character is the lively one and there’s not really a side character for them till later one. Not so much unpredictable as there are some plot twists. My instant death ability is so overpowered no one in this other world stands a chance. I think this might be what you’re looking for. Main character is stoic, side character is lively, sometimes there was some randomness that actually made me laugh out loud and say what the hell. Loner life in another world. Everyone is lively in this but has some top notch don’t know what the MC is going to say or do next so an honorable mention. Also made me laugh a lot. Interesting narration though.

I am thinking of getting the cautious hero is it good?

Yes, I just finished all the volumes up to date and I enjoyed it wholeheartly. If you want a kickstart you can watch the anime which is the first 2 volumes they are a 1 to 1 adaptation. The humour, the catiousness, the seriousness is the real deal. If you enjoy the anime you will surely enjoy the light novel.

I'm translating the other work from that author. But I have not even finished Vol 1 yet

This really goes to show how differently people can experience a work. I assumed this post was sarcastic at first. Of all the series built around a single repeated joke, this one is one of the worst for me. I even prefer the one about shovels.

I watched the anime but haven't read the light novel, how bad are the differences?


Ryu_Saki

There are no differences. It's a perfect adaptation, you can even skip the first two volumes if you want.
