Tokyo, 19th, 2020. For those who can't keep their eyes off from quality web fiction, Honeyfeed presents our spectacular and exclusive collection of original Japanese light novels. These novels will form part of Honeyfeed's new light novel web series; a weekly publication of translated Japanese original light novel series of stories you won't find in English anywhere else! Presenting works from talented Japanese authors like big bear, Gaia, and Akiraizun, this showcase brings you the best web light novels of qdopp's World Novel Project 2020 Awards.

qdopp's World Novel Project was a Japanese light novel writing competition in which over 300 talented professional Japanese writers participated and only the best 3 were selected to be translated to English and featured in Honeyfeed.

The publication of these web novel series began on May 15, 2020, with the prologue of “I'm Taking Revenge for My Murdered Classmates Using Weapons Made from Their Souls” followed by “Burned Out Heroes” prologue and “It's My First Time Working Late Nights at a Convenience Store, and If I Keep Getting Demon Lords, Kappa and Other Oddballs as Customers, I'm Giving My Two-Weeks' Notice” chapter 1 on May 16, 2020.

Burned Out Heroes

Japanese title: Burned Out Heroes
Author: big bear
Genre: Action, Drama, Mecha, Sci-Fi, Military/War
Start date: Saturday, May 16, 2020.

Synopsis:
The discovery of a miracle substance called “anamnesis” that allows human brain waves to alter matter itself plunges mankind into an all-out war, the Anamnesisian Conflict. Cyborg 01 (ZeroOne), a hero of the war, now wanders through its aftermath, roaming from place to place with Karen, a girl with the power to bend digital networks to her will.

The pair visit a massive artificial island dubbed the “Soul Settler” during their travels. A request to look into the disappearance of Erde Hadias, the daughter of a Federation Parliament member, awaited 01 upon arrival. A colossal conspiracy
lurked behind the scenes, however, and now the two of them are in the eye of the storm.

A word from the author:
“I've written novels in a variety of genres, from historical fiction to superheroes.”

It's My First Time Working Late Nights at a Convenience Store, and If I Keep Getting Demon Lords, Kappa and Other Oddballs as Customers, I'm Giving My Two-Weeks' Notice

Synopsis:
On his first ever graveyard shift at the local convenience store, Haru Muramatsu has to contend with a genuine, albeit out-of-touch, demon lord. His clientele only gets weirder from there, ranging from kappa to kuchisake-onna. Each chapter brings new challenges for the snarky (but secretly altruistic) cashier, and no two customers are the same!

A word from the author:
“I love to write stories that people can enjoy in their free time.”

I'm Taking Revenge for My Murdered Classmates Using Weapons Made from Their Souls

Japanese title: Class mate wo Zenin Korosareta Ore wa Sono Tamashii wo Bukini shite Fukushuu Suru

Synopsis:
During a school trip, my classmates and I are suddenly dragged into the middle of a raging war. A crazy woman tells us that we're on another planet and won't be able to return to Earth unless we take back a castle from the enemy. She grants us powers to do battle, but while all of my classmates obtain powerful skills, I can't seem to activate mine. That's because my skill is the ability to turn my dead classmates' souls into weapons.

Thus begins a grand tale of a banished man taking revenge for his murdered classmates.

A word from the author:
“I am an Osakan light novel author who loves games and animals.”
