Fixer has found a series of self-published books which Amazon lists as "light novels". The title is "Shadow Lord: The Strongest Legendary Hero Is a NEET" and the author's name sounds Japanese, but I can't find the Japanese originals. There is a related Facebook page in what appears to be Nepali, but that's not dispositive. Would you happen to have any ideas? TIA! Ahasuerus (talk) 17:06, 9 December 2022 (EST)
- Looking at the cover and the interior art, and the fact they are illustrated by "Pablo Santo", I'm guessing these are original English light novels rather than translations of Japanese light novels. It looks like they did their homework, though, and are trying to make them appear to be translated novels. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 16:37, 12 December 2022 (EST)

Hi Joe, re. this title/publication, I've changed the title type from NOVEL to COLLECTION and added the short fiction and interior art. I've also varianted them to Japanese titles with the correct date however the titles presently remain in English: is it possible you could alter them to their Japanese titles? Thanks.

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?426451; I added Archive link and LCCN, note has Amazon date, the usual fake -01 when they don't know the month or day, but original stories are -00; the book itself says October, not October 1. They really should be the same so it doesn't look like they're reprints. I had an incident recently where some mod complained endlessly about changing Amazon dates to the real one without asking PV first, so you decide what you want to do. --Username (talk) 11:43, 24 December 2022 (EST)
