Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku
|
While reading Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku, Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari often came to mind. For one thing, both series make use of a mature protagonist as their narrator, which in turn, presents a more analytical and pragmatic view of their worlds. Then, there’s also the shared themes that can be found throughout both works, such as the means of summoning heroes, heroines, slavery, and game-like skill mechanics. If you’re into your fantasy novels with a slightly more seinen edge, then you certainly can’t go wrong with either.

Goblin Slayer
|
Goblin Slayer and Hai to Gensou no Grimgar are both a take on the action, fantasy genre. Where they differ from other popular light novels available, however, is in their grounded realism. There is still magic to be found within both stories, but the worlds in which they operate are much more brutal and unforgiving—where even the lowliest monster is never to be underestimated. They both make for refreshing reads with Hai to Gensou no Grimgar focusing more on characterisation and introspection; whilst Goblin Slayer is more unadulterated dark fantasy.

Psycome
|
Deadman Wonderland and Psycome have a lot in common with one another. They're both set in a prison-like setting, they both follow a falsely imprisoned protagonist, and they both feature a mysterious female character who is hiding more than she is letting on. Where they differ is in their genres. Deadman Wonderland caters more towards the supernatural crowd, whilst Psycome is more ecchi/harem-based. They both make for enjoyable reading, offering plenty of tense, insane moments throughout.

Madan no Ou to Vanadis

Whilst you could argue that Madan no Ou to Vanadis shares themes with many other harem shows, what it has in common with High School DxD is that they both feature a dominating female lead who has no qualms in making the main character their prisoner/servant.
