Recommending some good novels I've read. My tastes are rather unusual, and my personal dealbreakers may be pretty specific. Things I dislike might be exactly what someone else likes.

It is indeed a light novel.
Yes, that's my assessment. Nowadays, light novels, even when called light novels, often contain a lot of horror, darkness, and cruelty. But this one is truly mindless, full of references, lighthearted, and easy to read.
A rational analysis reveals that it's not just extreme pain that can shatter a person's will; extreme pleasure can also do so, like drugs. Therefore, the Demon King's intention is to use pleasure exceeding the threshold to turn the hero into a helpless idiot. It's just that the protagonist's stats are too high, so it appears as if he's enjoying himself. Most people would already be turned into idiots by an essential oil massage (seriously).
It's hard to imagine a book that's already 500,000 words long, and the protagonist is still in jail.
Princess, is it time for interrogation? A gender-swapped version? It's somewhat similar.
Is it some kind of joke that you can still find books that fit the light novel genre in 2025?
I hope to continue writing this; it's one of the few books in recent years that aligns with my early understanding of light novels.
Wow!
It's really good, a very light-hearted light novel with a strong anime-like feel, and full of witty remarks. If you enjoy watching anime and don't tire of the world of anime, this book is worth a try. There's no deep-seated hatred; each character has their own unique "attributes," making it very engaging.
The name Hajime perfectly encapsulates the author, the protagonist, and the main body of the book.
Having written over a million words without a single flaw, maintaining a consistently light and enjoyable tone, I can only say this is the true form of a light novel. While I'd like to see the author develop some deeper plot points later on, maintaining the current level is already excellent.
Humanity is truly blessed with outstanding people and resources. The fact that humans can still fight against demons in this environment is incredibly impressive.
Great book! I initially thought it was a remake of the anime, but it's actually much more interesting than the anime. I wish it could be animated!
