What. And no lie, that would be me. xD As for the whole mom thing, that'd never happen. My sister would though. xD |

And yet another 'transported into an RPG-world story'. Whoop-dee-doo.

"come on guys rope your mom into this thinly-veiled incest fantasy!! it's a #promotion!!"
to be fair they're clearly tongue-in-cheek about it with not caring about proving if they're your mom or not, but man, the whole "indirect" nature of japanese culture has had some real unfortunate side affects in this industry. |

When I read the title, the first thing that came to mind was "Do you like your mom?" I guessed right.

Well, screw the plot of the winner novel - it's illustrated by the god damned Pochi Iida, active H-mangaka and creator of Ane Naru Mono!

Should have titled it "Definitely not mommy porn"
I would question anyone that actually brings their mom given the laxity of the rule. |

My Little sister Can Read Kanji totally predicted this trend 6 years ago.
It talks about the "standard" attributes of "little sister, big sister, childhood friend", but then that there's an "attribute" stronger than them all... "mother". (It was a commentary on the state of light novels circa 2011, but it seemed precient enough to realize that "Mom" novels would become a thing one day.) |

Is that the MC's mom on the cover? Or a much younger avatar?
In any case, eww. |

Knowing how a lot of these series cop out, she's probably only his stepmother and not blood related.

Ya I couldn't bring my friends let alone my actual mom to pick this up. Hell I couldn't take the looks I would get from some stranger I paid off the streets to go with me.

It would actually be quite funny if his mother were to act like a real mother, with no fetichisation or incest subtext. Like...
"Protag, you have to slay the dragon before 7, since dinner will be ready at 8! Also, don't forget to brush your teeth!" --- "Are you the orc who hurt my little kid!?" "C'mon, mom! They are too hard to beat!" "No, son. Stay out of the way. Your mother will avenge you. Here comes, DIVINE THUNDER!" ---- "If that slime is too hard to beat, remember I packed a phoenix feather in your lunch. I'm sure it will be useful. Have fun farming xp!" |

Maybe if you've got one of those extra close relationships with your mom already...

Well, it is a really awkward title in English. I wonder if it's awkward in Japanese too. You got that rather fetishistic angle on the cover too. |

While the LN that is the main focus of this article certainly has an...eye catching title, a couple of others caught my eye too.
Though, that first title is the one that I'm most interested in finding out more about.

I wonder how the mothers would react to all these LN covers if somebody actually brought them along.
