So far i am reading:

 

Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari

Mushoku Tensei

 

but need another one while i wait for these ones to finish being translated that would be similar to those above.

 

[Lanfear]

The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor. It's all kinds of epic.
Also, Arifureta.

Thanks already read Arifureta but dropped when the other girl joined in although i liked it a lot in the beginning. For TLMS i just cant seem to like the main character

[Lanfear]

He's way better than Mushoku Tensei's MC tho. I don't see how you can like Rudeus but not Weed. ._.

[Will of NGE]

Spice & Wolf

It's about a human merchant Kraft Lawrence and a wolf deity Horo. There's trading, romance and some more stuff. I think it's great.

There are 17 volumes, fans translated it all, official translations are at volume 12.

This one is pretty old, and there are 45 light novels released (it's already completed, as far as I know). Was only able to read in Bakatsuki (not sure if they're still hosting) and downloaded the others in external sights. If you like good old-fashioned fantasy and adventure with some comedy thrown into it, this one's for you.

 

These other 2 are copy-pasted from my previous post in a similar forum:

Ghost Hunt and its sequel Akumu no sumu ie.

Read this if you are a fan of legit suspense and horror. The author certainly knows what she's doing. The manga adaptation is badass as well.

To Aru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index) and its novel sidestories To Aru Kagaku no Reigun (A certain Scientific Railgun).

It already has 20+ volumes, but totally worth the read, especially if you are a fan of shonen, fantasy and adventure. The story is certainly unique, as well as its setting. It has been adapted to both manga and anime. The anime is actually well done.

I watched the 1st season. It didn't really click with me...all those discussions on bartering and economics left me glassy-eyed. Literally took me a week to finish it (coz I keep falling asleep in the middle of episodes). Are the original light novels better?

Maybe it's just not your cup of tea. I loved the change S&W brings compared to a giant majority of every other story.

The anime follows the light novels pretty much spot on, with the LN of course having more dialogue. Anime covers 2 volumes per season, so only 4 volumes

Finish the second season as well since they won't be making more It was done to boost sales of the light novels.

Any topic regarding economics, buy & sell, business, etc. leave me incredibly listless (and confused). LOL. I guess you're right, most likely not just my cup of tea. I do acknowledge though that the anime was visually appealing, with interesting characters. I will try to watch the second season as well. Thank you!

Spice & Wolf isn't even similar to the ones he was reading tho~

Well when you throw strange names at me how can I know what he's talking about? Not gonna google it.

I know three LNs, Spice & Wolf, Toradora and Monogatari stuff.

Try these: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ljoXDy-ti5N7ZYPbzDsj5kvYFl3lEWaJ1l3Lzv1cuuM/preview
 
I also recommend LMS and One turn kill of the dark partisan
 
(not light novels but amazing nonetheless) - Stellar transformations, Coiling Dragon and Swallow Star.

The Chrome Shelled Regios novels are pretty solid. I'd recommend Madan no Ou to Vanadis but apparently the later volumes have a really terribad translation, and I got bored and dropped it halfway through volume 4.

hehe, nice, I was about to suggest Light Novels translated by re:Translations , too.

For starter I would highly suggest Re:Monster

Spoiler

story: guy is reincarnated as the low monster (goblin) and he starts using his knowledge to improve their lives. Whole story is written as diary and every day something interesting happens. It also contains MC's comments and inner thoughts (fun is guaranteed).

 

also little warning: all LN done by re:Translations are not intented for young readers.  

if you are not sure, whether to read it or not, here is Manga adaptation of LN of Re:Monster.

Well, It isn't quite fan translated. It was organized by fans, but the actual translations were paid for ^.^
