One day, tens of thousands of players were suddenly trapped in the world of the online game \"Myth of Fantasy\"! In this different world where monsters and magic really exist, players regarded as \"adventurers\" are in chaos, and the city of adventurers \"Akihabara\" has gradually become a land of lawlessness. Shiroe, who is not sociable, is also one of such adventurers. But he determined to improve all of this situation, and his allies Naoji, Akatsuki, Meowta and others formed the guild\'s \"Horizon of Record\", and used his ingenuity as a weapon to unite adventurers as one. The \"Round Table Meeting\", an autonomous organization of adventurers, was established, restoring hierarchy and peace to Akihabara. Led by the \"round table meeting\", the adventurers also began to communicate with the original inhabitants of the game world, the \"earth people\". Princess Renishia, the representative of the noble family, served as the ambassador of Akihabara, and the exchanges between adventurers and the nobles, merchants, and ordinary residents of the land people became more active. It has been a year since the adventurers were teleported to the \"catastrophe\" of this world. Under the apparent peace and prosperity of Akihabara, there are uneasy fires such as the attack of a new kind of monster, the \"general disaster\", the power struggle between the aristocrats of the East and the West, the gap between the rich and the poor and the difference in concepts among adventurers. And finally, the \"round table\", a symbol of the unity of adventurers, ushered in a crisis of disintegration...

Ah, world-building, how I miss you, you magnificent beauty. Let's kiss the very ground that log horizon walks on cause this is the best of the "trapped in a game" genre we are going to get in recent years.

After the disgusting abominations that is SAO, Overlord, and all the other garbage. It is great knowing that there are still people in Japan with brains.

So, yes log horizon, it brings back the good old-school feel of a big world, a lot of factions, and intrigues, that makes you look for more. Unlike the disgusting wank-fest the rest of the LN genre had become, log horizon manage to balance its cast to make sure there isn't a gary-stu who stood out, and provide actual challenges that need to be overcome by its characters.

Plot - 7

Firm and steady, the plot moves at a slow pace with multiple plot threads moving at the same time, creating a sense of depth and influence in character actions. The adventurers are split into many factions, from home-sick fanatics, zealots, those who are trying to maintain order, and those who just hate everything. To add to the conflict the eastern and western lander's kingdoms are threatening war, while the things that are responsible for trapping the players are moving in the background causing conflict.

All these add to a very rich if slightly chaotic world.

Character - 7

If you are going to have character embody tropes, you might as well have as many as possible. It is said that quantity have a quality all on its own. Make no mistake, these are not "deep" characters, I can sum up their character in two phrases, but they are still MUCH better than the wank dolls of Overlord (Vile trash) and SAO (less Vile trash), in which I can sum up the personalities in TWO WORDS.

In short, log horizon fills it self to the brim with a bunch of characters, and try to gave all of its character some story of their own, so while the characters aren't deep, they create a great dynamic.

Overall - 8

Best of the genre in recent years, but like I said, many times, the LN market is now nothing more than a pond of spunk and retardation, so this is like beating a bunch of limbless retards at running.

Its still good, go read or watch it now.

No reviews for Log Horizon? How was that possible?!

Story: Tens of thousands of people playing a game is pulled into the game and become their characters. After that typical beginning, this story becomes something extraordinary.

Log Horizon is about creating and managing an actual society in a fantasy world. They talk about politics, economics, discrimination, etc. What happens if your game character were of a different gender? Can you kill an NPC? Can you r*pe them? Log Horizon is about players choosing to live with or fight with the natives of the world they are in. It's so much more than "just another of those stories".

Art: The art is surprisingly good. It's really detailed and clean, it really shows you how the characters' charms and personal quirks make them who they are. Some have that one smile that's like the sun, that one guy with scary eyes, etc. These illustrations are among the best light novel pictures I've seen. It's not just to show how someone looks, it displays so much more.

Characters: So, Log Horizon has many characters that play big parts. Obviously there's not very much originality to these personalities. The friendly, loyal best friend. The quiet female ninja that protects everyone. A man that seems evil, but actually does what needs to be done for the benefit of the people. All these characters have been seen before, but they are still very well done. The lack of an "Antagonist" might be a bit sad, but all in all, the characters are all realistic and interesting.

Overall, Log Horizon is a story for those that want a strong world-building story. There is action and adventures, but the strong point is still the fact that they, the "players" are trying to live together with the natives, "NPC's". Factions form and fight, but with no real goal to accomplish, this is a very open story that simply wants to show you the world they are in. Along with the hidden clues of what, or who, actually caused this whole Catastrophe to begin with.

+ Strong World Building
+ Likable Characters
+ Beautiful Art
-+ Lack of Antagonist

This light novel series is truly Fu*king Spectacular.

There is something beautiful and charming about the world of Log Horizon. Maybe it is because of the fact that I used to enjoy MMORPGs and a possibility of having a VMMORPG in the future just makes me jealous, maybe it is because of the fact that from all the novels that focus on VMMORPGs, Log Horizon has its own place above all of them because of its amazing writing; Log Horizon has never been lazy so far, it pays attention to every single detail, every single character and that is the reason why its world is so beautiful and complete.

From all the light novels that I have read, Log Horizon is special simply because of one fact that this novel has a very character driven story: there is a big, unknown world and you, just like in any MMORPG, together with the protagonists of Log Horizon discover this vast world of the unknown. It is amazing how the story pays attention to every single detail. For example, Log Horizon follows Shiroe, an ‘Enchanter,’ who is not suitable to be of any use as a character supporting his party members in the frontline. However, the moment he is protected by the tanks and melee damage dealers and stays behind his group, he can fully utilize his potential to support his friends and it is also helpful for him to come up with the best strategy to defeat the enemies, because that way he can see everything that happens on the battlefield.

Right from the first chapters, Log Horizon introduces quite a few characters. However, with time, the cast gets bigger and bigger and you will appreciate the fact that each and every of them receives a well-written development, giving you a perfect opportunity to understand them better. Log Horizon has so many characters that all are interesting and have something unique about them. Shiroe, a brilliant strategist that has the talent to organize even an average party that has no team play at all. He is a bit awkward with people and it is somewhat of a problem for him to express himself, so that other players would understand him better, which also causes him a variety of problems. Naotsugu, an easy going pervert, who is always ready to lend a helping hand to his friends. Akatsuki, an assassin that enjoys Role Playing. And while this might sound like an average bunch of characters to have, with time, you find out more about them, the characters show you their true self and, I must confess, the writing is so enjoyable that you just cannot stop reading; you want to find out more and more about each and every character of Log Horizon, to know their story.

As I said previously, the reason why Log Horizon is worth your time is that its story is very detail-oriented. There are just so many small details about it and together they form the world of ‘Elder Tail,’ which is even bigger than World of Warcraft’s universe. Yet, it manages to pay attention to each and every small detail to make the universe of Log Horizon so interesting. Indeed, Log Horizon is not action-oriented novel, it is more of a strategy, with a huge focus on dialogues. With that being said, it will require you to have endless patience and a desire to uncover more secrets of Elder Tail. That way, you will enjoy reading Log Horizon.

All in all, a very enjoyable read. Those who speak Japanese will enjoy the novel even more, because there is a huge difference and you will need to read it in both English and Japanese to see it. However, even in English, this is quite a fun read.
