We had so much fun talking about Infinite Dendrogram Volume 1 that we had to dive in again with Volume 2! Things are getting serious too, so this is a great volume to read if you really want to get an idea of what this VRMMO story is all about. Join TWWK and me as we… Read More BtT Light Novel Club Chapter 9: Infinite Dendrogram Vol. 2
It’s back! The virtual reality light novel Infinite Dendrogram was one of the most well-received titles we covered in the Light Novel Club last year, and now that an anime adaptation has been announced, as well as print editions of the novels, I figured now is a great time to dive deeper into the series. J-Novel… Read More And Our Next Light Novel Club Selection Is… Infinite Dendrogram Vol. 2!
Welcome to the first installment of our Light Novel Club in 2019! This time around, we are flipping the usual isekai script on its head and bringing the fantasy world folks to modern Japan!

Welcome to another edition of the Beneath the Tangles Light Novel Club! With it being the holiday season, I gave our club a break and decided to approach a novel on my own (which gave me the chance to read a book that probably no one else on staff wanted to read anyway!). Having read… Read More BtT Light Novel Club Chapter 7: True Tenchi Muyo! Volume 2 (Yosho)
What am I supposed to do with my life? I struggled with that question throughout college and into my mid-twenties. Although I set solid plans for how my career would lay out, they would shift every couple of years as I learned that maybe my plans were based on what I saw myself doing rather… Read More Light Novel Kindling: When Your Journey Leads to Ryoko
We’ve been going strong with the light novel club for much of 2018 (six novels completed!), so I was going to have us take a break over the holidays, but then I saw that volume two of the True Tenchi Muyo! light novels just came out, and I couldn’t help myself!

Ten years ago today, the first episode of Toradora aired on TV Tokyo. And the world was forever changed. Okay, maybe not, but my world was. Until Oregairu swept over me (you might see that title find its way into the light novel club at some point), Toradora was my favorite anime. Stylish, cool, funny,… Read More And Our Next Light Novel Club Selection Is…Toradora!
Infinite Dendrogram, our current light novel club selection, begins with a current state of affairs in that world and the fictional chronicling of how VRMMO (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online) games and in particular, the titular VRMMO, developed: July 15, 2043. On this date, the VRMMO Infinite Dendrogram was released around the world. It had… Read More Light Novel Kindling: Is a VRMMO Future a Good Thing?
Infinite Dendogram! I’m excited about this one! I’ve been wanting to try a VRMMO light novel not named Sword Art Online, and @stardf29 tells us this novel approaches the mini-genre in “a fun and interesting way.” I’m on board!
