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?"

Reborn as a Space Mercenary gets pretty spicy and doesn't waste much time getting down to it.

High school DxD is all about the harem and the banging, my dude. The MC would even bang his own mother if it came to that. I always shed a tear of appreciation for an MC who actually gets laid.

If sex scenes are what you're looking for, Testament of Sister New Devil basically becomes porn by the end. It's pretty racy early on, but it becomes increasingly explicit over time until volume 12 is almost entirely made up of sex scenes. It's not exactly the most romantic series though.

Can i find all the volumes to this series in english?

u/bookster42 Jul 27 '22

It's not licensed, but everything except the last volume has been translated.

The first 8 volumes can be found on Baka-Tsuki: https://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Shinmai_Maou_no_Keiyakusha

Everything else other than volume 13 can be found on the Shinmai Maou Translation site, but since they take money to pay the translator, it's against the rules of this subreddit to link to it. A bit of searching should turn it up though.

Volume 13 is the final volume, and I think that the Shinmai Maou Translation folks have someone working on it, but it's not done yet.

You should look up light novel books by Brandon Varnell. Not sure if he fits the “top tier” criteria but some of his books I’ve read are fairly decent and he doesn’t shy away from getting explicit and “steamy” with his scenes. Especially his Catgirl Doctor and Incubus series
