personally I think it deserves over 9.0 score at least and also the best LN ever.
How do y'all think about this topic? (and sorry for my eng is bad 🥲 I'm not a native)

Kind of at least for me. It's my first LN i'm reading and, as a not book/novel reader (last book I touched was possibly 2-3 years ago) I definetely still felt some amazing uniqueness behind it.

The way chapters are made (like different timelines in first volume and rounds and stages on kingdom royale) are really cool. And it is a confusing story in a great way, feels really well handled on how some timelines or events are skipped and then sometimes you will just go back to x timeline just to find the answer to a question. Other things were also really interesting to see like when someone tells some deep monologue and you think it might be told by certain character, but then it isn't, actions sometimes aren't told by who made it, you expect it to be made by x character but then plot twist occurs...

Feels like a really well thought ahead story by just reading a bunch of pages, which is a good point that makes me enjoy this LN like a 10 despite things like volume 2 that felt kinda filler-ish and volume 3 being a buildup for volume 4.

Gotta need to read more LNs to get sure on this tho, but for sure deserves it score

There was a time when Hakomari score over 9.2 and ranked 2nd top in MAL. That was the reason why i tried the series around 2014... Good old days... Best LN for me too. My wishlist is to buy the physical books when i get a job :)

I don't think anything, HakoMari is the best LN ever written
and it was above Berserk back in the day till the monogatari fanboys downvoted it to oblivion
HakoMari is a legit 10

Yes i believe it is the best ln though i didn't read a lot of ln but i watch a lot of ln adaptation that are considered to be a great adaptation so i think i have the right to say it is the best ln
not just ln all of media in general it is my favorite fiction, i haven't felt anything quite like it when i read it also it deserves 9 plus rating, and i think that would most likely happen if there's gonna be a good anime adaptation of hakomari, the rating would boost a lot

tbh in my biased opinion it probably is. The only other real competition is deservedly the monogatari series

I am in the minority here. I only liked the Kingdom royale arc. Rest of the arcs were okay except the first one (which was bad). Rejecting classroom was the most confusing and frustrating single LN volume I have read till now. The way characters talk with each other feels very off in this series and that is the main source of discomfort I have with it.

This is the first light novel I've read, but tbh I don't see how it gets any better than this. It has some of the best psychological writing period, and while it has tons of flaws (like I can agree with half of the points made by the 1/10 reviews), the peaks it results do more than enough to justify said flaws.

HakoMari is without a doubt the best experience I've ever had with fiction as a whole. I wanted to read it every chance I got.
