“This isn't a coincidence or good will. This is what the system needs. A strong Sung Jin-Woo.”Solo Leveling is about Sung Jin-Woo, an E-rank Hunter, also known as the “World’s Weakest”. Even though he was really weak, he has to earn money by fighting in low-leveled dungeons therefore endangering himself to be able to care for his sister and to pay for his mother's medical bills. During one of the raids, they encountered a Double Dungeon which resulted to him almost dying but was saved due to receiving a strange power.This is the first light novel (or light novels in this case, 14 to be exact) I’ve ever read and I can say that I have no regrets. Originally, the manga version of this book/s was referred by my brother who usually never reads. I gave it a try and became hook with the story and drawing style, but since the manga is still ongoing then light novel it is.I loved the plot of the story being from zero to OP (overpowered) MC. Although he did receive an ability which made him so strong, you could still see how his powers developed over time. I also loved that the author avoided doing some of those clichéd elements of this genre such as: the MC having a harem (he did have girls liking him but you can see that he’s not entertaining them)the system which the MC uses is not over complicated (it is pretty straightforward with leveling up)the MC is a Mary Sue (meaning the main character was not perfect)I also loved how the story arcs in the story were well defined and have been concluded properly. Although it may feel like a never ending race of having to fight beings after another, I think the author planned it with the development of the story and the character in mind. For me, it is the type of book that makes you not want the story to end as you’ve spent some time invested and has become attached to the characters.The ending of the story might be seen as unsatisfying by others but I think that it fits really well with the personality of the main character. Overall, I think that this book is an easy read and is definitely an interesting story.

A not so merry ChristmasChristmas is almost here, but everything Hachiman has wanted, everything he might have wished for, is gone. Ever since the student council elections, the Service Club members have been at an awkward standstill. Something is broken between them, but they gather in the clubroom with the hope that things will just go back to normal. That's when Iroha Isshiki, the new student council president, brings in a request to help her with a joint Christmas event with another school. Hachiman decides to lend a hand, but not on behalf of the Service Club-he'll do this one on his own.

This loner's web of relationships is only getting more tangled...The school trip has left a bad taste in everyone's mouths, and as the Service Club tries to maintain its daily routine, someone comes to them with a request regarding the election for student council president. However, when the three club members squabble over how to fix the problem, they go their separate ways! Hachiman Hikigaya knows his relationships can't stay the same forever, yet he's certain he himself is incapable of change. When he finds something worth protecting, will his methods be to everyone's benefit, or will they be another colossal mistake?

Subaru Natsuki was just trying to get to the convenience store but wound up summoned to another world. He encounters the usual things--life-threatening situations, silver haired beauties, cat fairies--you know, normal stuff. All that would be bad enough, but he's also gained the most inconvenient magical ability of all--time travel, but he's got to die to use it. How do you repay someone who saved your life when all you can do is die?

SUMMER CAMP IS A MINEFIELD FOR A LONER...Ahh, summer break. No school, no responsibilities, and no friends to pass the time with--until Miss Hiratsuka drafts the Service Club (plus a few normies) into volunteering to supervise an elementary school camping trip. But Hachiman has a knack for sticking to the sidelines and is prepared to survive this awkward outing with as little conflict as possible--until he meets a little girl who's already started down the path of loner-dom herself.

In Orario, fearless adventurers band together in search of fame and fortune within the monstrous underground labyrinth known as Dungeon.But while riches and renown are incentive enough for most, Bell Cranel, would-be hero extraordinaire, has bigger plans.He wants to pick up girls.Is it wrong to face the perils of Dungeon alone, in a single-member guild blessed by a failed goddess? Maybe. Is it wrong to dream of playing hero to hapless maidens in Dungeon? Maybe not. After one misguided adventure, Bell quickly discovers that anything can happen in the labyrinth--even chance encounters with beautiful women. The only problem? He's the one who winds up the damsel in distress!

I've got my eye on you...With the help of his new supporter Lilliluka, novice adventurer Bell Cranell is making progress deeper into the Dungeon. With new equipment and new allies, he thinks things are finally starting to go his way...but he's dead wrong! Bell's in a panic, Lilliluka's being cryptic, and Hestia's drunk! The trouble never seems to end in this third volume of the hit comedy-fantasy series!

Nowhere near as incisive with its invective, and nowhere near as brilliant with its emotional detachment, the experience of Hachiman Hikigaya in MY YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY . . . #2 is less the traumatic underpinning of youth gone quietly awry than it is the raw materialization of conscientious complacency. Hikigaya is still bold, brooding, and filled with hatred for the world . . . only less so. This second volume in this light-novel series views Hikigaya less as a secular individual against the teeming masses, and instead pries open the character's emotional inclination toward the group of so-called friends in his so-called club at his so-called school.To be fair, MY YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY . . . #2 does retain the pragmatic, loner qualities of young male teendom. However, beyond this boilerplate, the narrative lacks a common voice, and it suffers from abnormally slow pacing. There are, to wit, long stretches of the novel in which nothing happens. The first 50 pages of the book are a good example, with little of consequence occurring beyond characters milling about their classes, shadowed by Hikigaya's paranoid over-explanations (as if it were necessary for him to fill in or re-educate readers on what they didn't miss between books).This second volume is softer and more lumbering than the first. Most prescient is how the author deliberately contrives an array of dull and lingering conversations as vehicles for students to solicit help from the Service Club. The author seems averse to having characters engage directly. Characters often take a more circuitous route: using hints, whispers, midterm exams, sideways glances, and more, to explore or explain their motives. In other words, the author is writing this as if it were an anime program, and not an actual novel. Bad idea.Many of these roundabout dynamics should have been omitted. The new-to-class truant is avoiding responsibility? Okay. But why pop the character in and out of the story, stringing readers along for the duration of the book? It's such a waste of energy. Instead, just throw her into the mix and let the characters engage and adapt.The expanded story understandably brings with it the more standard tropes of romantic comedy, but that doesn't excuse the author from abdicating the narrative elements and character dynamics that made the title so loveable in the first place. Yukinoshita, for example, has a considerably diminished role. The girl's chilly demeanor and frank disposition remain unchanged; and yet, the author's interest in charting her relational growth is in direct conflict with her uniqueness. In MY YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY . . . #2, while there are moments when her banter with Hikigaya are fantastically on point, there are also moments when her banter is dry, stilted, and severed with a surprise word of agreement (read: evidence she's "getting along"). Is this a consequence of a growing cast (fewer page-time for the primary female protagonist)? Is this evidence of a more coherent interweaving of character motives ("To have friends is to accept the difficulties that come with them," p. 82)? A pessimistic reader will surely fail to reconcile one of these questions with the other.More pragmatically, it appears the pairing of Yukinoshita and Hikigaya is getting an nudge. Fun, yes. But it could do more harm than good. If Yukinishita is at her best when fully at odds with Hikigaya, then why mess with the formula? Yukinoshita isn't made more relatable by being "on the same page" as others. No. She's made more relatable by her breezy indignation of the idiocy of her friends -- that is to say, when she stays true to her own interests no matter the situation (and no matter the consequences).MY YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY . . . #2 is fun. Not as sharp as the first volume, but still quite fun. Yuigahama's affection. Totsuka's insufferable cuteness. Hikigaya's bored exterior. It's all there and it's all quite fun. Hopefully, future stories will be less meandering and will return to the singular, biting ungratefulness that lends Hikigaya his unique voice.

Everything is as usual. No friends, no girlfriends, no social life...or so it should have been, but there's been this uncomfortable and unfamiliar feeling growing inside Hachiman. Was it really the absence of a certain girl from the club room that made him feel this way? But there's no way that either Hachiman or Yukino would have the social skills to solve that kind of problem, and their efforts lead to nothing but misunderstandings. Hachiman shares a bittersweet moment with Totsuka, witnesses Zaimokuza's wailing and roaring, and sees a side of Miss Hiratsuka that he was never meant to see...and then gets tricked into a strip card game?! Surrounded as they are by all these characters rampaging alone in all the wrong directions, will the Service Club ever go back to the way it was before? Presenting: the third volume of the twisted loner teen romantic comedy.
