Hmm I'm not sure how I feel about this yet but there are some noticeable author names on the list. Might be interesting.

Sounds like a cool idea.

Curious to see if a imprint aimed at adults is different in terms of length and language level as well.

Sounds like a prose version of Seinen though. Now where's my prose Josei imprint.

So basically, a label dedicated to light novels with adult characters and adult-ish themes...

I can get behind that.

What's with the obsession with "zero" in the titles lately? Laughing


Murder, She wrote:

aimed at 30-year old males, and it will have the theme of "A cool adult way of living."


We'd be laughing if these turn out to be just another bunch of teenagers with maybe 1 adult. Laughing

So, teenagers have a boring life at school where they feel they can't control anything and they go to a fantasy world where they can be some cool heroes.
And for adults, they feel they have a boring life at work too, they are so disillusioned with their own life and BAAM, they go to another world to become super cool heroes.

How to escape from reality 101.

I love the concept of having LN for 30+ adults like me, but I'm worried about the type of content I'll find... Stories should be created to empower people, not to make them feel that their present life is not the life they should live and they should make them feel in control of their own life instead of feeling being controlled by it. BUT. You may disagree. Laughing

As long as it isn't "I'm an uninspiring salary-man in the lowest-tier position in my lame, worthless workplace, and THEN suddenly I get to relive my glamorous high-school days" or something similar, I think I'll follow up on this.

These need to be adapted into anime, not the constant stream of bad LN adaptations we're getting these days. 2016 is already full of them and even worse original anime are now suffering from bad LN syndrome sometimes.
