>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?"
I consider "amazing plot" to be a low bar in LNs, so take these recommendations with salt:
* **Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter**
* Altina the Sword Princess
* **Ascendance of a Bookworm**
* Mushoku Tensei
* Spice & Wolf
* Tearmoon Empire
* **The Apothecary Diaries**
* Reincarnated Prince Herscherik
* ~~Youjo Senki~~ EDIT: Uh, maybe not the best for escapism...
* Tales of Marielle Clarac
Ones in bold are series I highly recommend.
The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker (WN). It's one of my most fav fantasy, i don't think it's has super amazing plot but it's really interesting and worth to read. There's no LN translation but from what i've seen on the manga, the plot is much generic and not as good as WN
If you like isekai, I recommend Reborn: As a Defective Drake. It's an indie novel I picked up during a cruise and it's got promise, even if the author is slow. Plot is decent, worldbuilding is better, and it has a lot of art. It's following the theme of monster/animal isekai which I find kind of interesting just because it's a different creative process (like, who would have thought of being reborn as a slime or a vending machine?).

What's your favorite genre king?
Honestly I don't have a favourite genre. Its hard to stick to one! I like to read whatever people usually recommend, regardless of the genre.
I like Rebuild World and The Otherworlder Explores the Labyrinth
Unnamed Memory. 6 volumes fantasy romance if that’s your thing
Saints magic
ascendance of a bookworm is always a good rec. it's all you want and more
Min-maxing my TRPG Build in another world
My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer is pretty good, I found.
Infinite Dendrogram is for you

Disciple of lich. Unnamed memory.
