Another mere light novel series that not only centers around high school students (typical) and a lame premise. Leave it a light novelist to believe that introducing flawless memorization and time resets in a story where the two MCs are solving cases is a good idea.
 I'm gonna pass on this one.

It's not about the what; It's how it's done. Although, in your case you just seem to have problems with Light Novels in general. |

The author isn't even trying at this point. |

I got this: Kei learns of Sakuradanomium, which looks like a worthless black stone, but in reality provides the Sakaradanite necessary to sustain the existence of Sakurada. In other news, I enjoyed Erased so I might enjoy this one as well. |

The premise sounds a bit lackluster BUT so did Hyouka at first glance and that became one of my favorite mystery series of all time, so I'll keep an eye out for Sakurada Reset and see if it can spin an intriguing yarn.
Admittedly the name of the sought-after stone had me giggling to no end, but then I've read an abundant amount of TV Tropes.

The "what it's about" is just as important as "how it's done." A series needs both good material AND execution in order to work. Just by looking at the premise, I can already see how bad it'll flop without having to surmise. Both MCs have powers that are essentially way too convenient to use to solve cases. Being able to remember everything is fine but the girl is able to reset time which automatically removes any sort of tension that comes with problem solving. Not only that but the other MC is able to keep his memory after the time leap.....what on earth? I remember the last time I saw a mystery series that tried to use time resets (*coughs* Erased *coughs) and it definitely wasn't good. It's not just my distaste for light novels that have to with this per say, it's my experience with them. |

Wait.
MacGuffin stone? Like, is that really... the name? Not just a snarky comment someone made? .... "マクガフィン" It really is the McGuffin stone. Or MacGuffin. However you want to spell it. If this story isn't super meta I'll be disappointed. Amazing. |

This sounds pretty interesting to me. Erased combined with Hyouka could be a fantastic anime. I've not read the light novel (and I doubt most/all of the people commenting here haven't either) so I have no idea if it falls into typical LN troupes to actually manages to stand out in the crowd. Either way, i'll be keeping my eye on this.

Hm, I might check this series out. There must be a reason why it will have anime and live-action film adaptations (unless it is due to popularity).
The good news is the light novel series is complete so it might get a full adaptation. |

The part that strikes me as most strange is that the original light novels ran from 2009-2012 and the story is complete. If it's popular enough for multiple adaptations, why wait before adapting it?
