Best LN in the top 10 afaik. sukasuka is a new title with three volumes over one year that almost got cancelled several times due to poor sales. It's a miracle it's still here, and it's a beautiful story. Volume 2 for example on amazon has nothing but 5 star ratings. Not a single lower rating. Everyone is praising it and I agree, this is far too good to be interrupted.



Alderamin was very good as usual. One of the best military work I've read, and the characters are really likeable, and well developed. Nice

Is this ranking is what considered OBJECTIVELY good LN in order by the Japanese?

There's no such thing as "objectively good", what's "good" depends on your preferences. Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi are just popularity rankings. It seems that a lot of Japanese just prefer what you don't and that's okay. There's no such thing as "objectively good", what's "good" depends on your preferences.

Didn't read the OP and just saw the ranking. Now that I read the OP again, yeah, this seems to be popularity. But why internet poll instead of just using sales?

It's a mix between popularity votes and professional votes actually, for the novel poll only. So the top has some works that aren't popular. Professional of the novel industry are basically competing with the regular voters.

The characters/illustrators are popularity only.

Rokka at 17. How is Rokka LN sales? Rokka at 17. How is Rokka LN sales?

I remember Rokka's vol 6 selling 12k or so.The other Volumes not so much. Zefyris would know though.

Last volume sold over 12k before exiting the ranking indeed. Before that the best was at 7k, sometimes far less depending on the day of the week the release was.

Last volume wasn't released after the end of the anime however, so it's hard to say how much it sold in reality, since the volumes continued to sell (but not enough to appear in the rankings with sale number) every week afterwards. We'll have to wait for the volume 7 to see how much RnY sells after the anime. Most probably 15k +, but we'll see.

Alderamin and Oregairu are the top 2 in this year for me.



Shuumatsu and Isekai Shokudou seem interesting, i hope someone would be interested to translate them.



Index is pretty much a letdown this year. 3 consecutive volumes full of disappointment.

Shuumatsu (also called sukasuka) is the best new series I've read in a good while. It's very different, very sad too, but quite beautiful.
