ライトノベル読書会 📚 Light Novel Book Club | Next book Sep 30

I didn’t vote for it, so it doesn’t affect me personally, but 博多豚骨ラーメンズ got the same amount of votes as 伯爵と妖精, キノの旅, 幻獣調査員 and ひげを剃る (at least right now, the poll is not closed yet). Any reason that one got cut as opposed to the others?

I never stop learning new things about how discourse works… Kinda blows my mind lol

I have long since forgotten what the original thread was lol… Anyone remember?

Nothing but pure chance, unfortunately. I didn’t want to cut half the nominations given the low number we have already, and it just happened to be the one sitting on the bottom of the poll for that group of ties.

Whoops. D: I jumped the gun a bit, haha. Ah well, since I already called it and did all my edits, I went ahead closed the poll early. My apologies to fans rooting for 2nd place and beyond!

Should be this one:

And I already made the idea it would be my first book club and I can still be disappointed in 7 hours :rofl:

We’ll see how this works out for me.

literally everything I voted for nominated. :sweat_smile: (I think. :thinking:)


(I am not actually sad, just amused. I think there are now none of my nominations left in the poll, despite having nominated quite a lot, if I remember correctly. :rofl:)

Renominating this. :melting_face:

Re-added to the nomination Natively list. Will slowly re-add things on the nomination table post.

Edit: Okay, I dug up the basic information I used in a previous version of the table. This does make me think, though; my setup is not great for keeping track of different languages for the same book. As always, if you guys see any inaccurate information for any book, please let me know!

Ah, this one wasn’t cut after the last vote, just these were:

So no need to re-nominate!

Ack, I didn’t realize that they kept their slots in this club (maybe I need to work on my reading comprehension in English :joy::joy:). Deleting my re-nom.

Hmm maybe I’ll actually vote for my own nomination this time around :stuck_out_tongue:

Well I guess it’s not mine anymore… but still

Your nomination has been NTR’d :rofl:

My work will increase rather soon-ish, so by the time the current book finishes, I though doing one where the audiobook is an option would be nice.

We will see.

I’m not sure if it counts as NTR since we’d already separated :joy:

Having an audiobook to read along to is great :slight_smile:

I don’t know what that is, but looking it up gave me a disambiguation list on Wikipedia with stuff like

核熱ロケット (nuclear thermal rocket)の略。

任天堂が発売した携帯型ゲーム機であるニンテンドーDSの型番。コードネーム「NITRO(ニトロ)」の略称。

Ah, but just as I say that, I saw the next entry in the list, which makes more sense in context. Not NITRO then.

Yes, let’s go with the Nuclear Thermal Rocket, it’s better for everyone as it’s cursed knowledge :rofl:

NTR is ねとられ

Yes, TIL about that. I’m glad the wikipedia page wasn’t too bad.
I have to admit, when I saw the word, my guess was that it’s about having intercourses with someone who’s sleeping. I was wrong.

5 Likes

oh no… that guess is even more cursed!!

As an aside, the only thing I’ve ever given a 1 star to on this site has NTR in the title. (I don’t usually give publicity to things I dislike, but I thought it was fitting here)

The original sleeping beauty. :melting_face:

NTR (especially involving minors :scream:) was all the rage on a Japanese learner discord server I am in… so much so, that I no longer read the book channel. I have found solace in the channel for female-friendly media. :melting_face:

Getting really out of topic

Literally what I had in mind.

Hold on, did I miss something again. My understanding of the Wikipedia page was that it was porn? Am I wrong, or are you saying they are talking about porn on a book channel?
(Also, do you mean “minors” as in they look like adults/girls are hourglass shaped but for plot reasons they are in high school and as such may or may not be 18 or do you mean that they really look like kids even by manga standards?)
(Also, I feel like you could find BL/TL examples to counter them… but yes, I understand just running away)
