Hello Light Novel Podcast listeners! On this episode we are talking about the light novel series How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom! This series is brought to us in English by J-Novel Club.
It’s an isekai series that focuses more on kingdom building and politics. It sounds dry, but it’s a really well done series!
We’re covering volumes 1-4 in this podcast. That covers the first arc of the series.

Hello Light Novel Podcast listeners! Welcome to Podcast #7. In this episode, we’re talking about the fantasy series, Is it Wrong to Try to Pick-Up Girls in a Dungeon (known as Danmachi for short).
The series follows a young, naive, boy who travels to the great city of Orario in order to become an adventurer and to challenge the Dungeon at the city’s core.
In this episode, we’re talking mainly about volumes 1 to 3. This series did receive an anime adaptation which covered volumes 1 to 5. We think that’s too much, so we’re just covering the first 3 books (frankly, the anime should’ve done the same).

Hello Light Novel Podcast Listeners! Welcome to Episode 6, where we are focusing on the J-Novel Club title, Infinite Dendrogram! This VRMMO light novel has become a favorite for a number of us on the podcast, so we’re pretty excited to share it with you! To keep the podcast from spiraling into a 5+ hours mess, we’re keeping our discussion to volumes 1-3 of Infinite Dendrogram. But I’d say we’re all looking forward to getting caught up on the series, and doing another episode dedicated to this cool series!

Hey there podcast listeners! On this episode we are talking about the upcoming Anime Expo! We are guaranteed 10 new light novel licenses this weekend. But odds are, we could see upwards of 20+ new light novel titles being brought to the English market. So we thought we’d each pick a few titles that we would like to see licensed, and the ones we are pretty much counting on getting licensed.
