Recs if you like All You Need Is Kill...

Much of the post/apoc genre is taken up by US-centric fiction, giving a very specific mindset & often a similar type of apocalypse. There's a strong focus on guns & military. Settings outside the US can provide us with unusual, diverse & interesting stories of survival

Sister list to: Zombie Apocs - But Not US-centric

Fictional settings allowed. Some books may cross borders, inc sections in the US. Allowance made for US indigenous authors

First of a series only

Suggestions welcome!

𓃠

All light novels are welcome!

Books that involve time loops of some kind. These will not include 'normal' time travel, and mostly focus on books that repeat the same stretch of time

A list in progress...books where a span of time is repeated, the story plays with non-linear narratives or jumps through time...

The Groundhog Day trope is alive and well with these stories stuck on repeat!

With bone-piercing bolts and mechanically enhanced strength, meat and metal convene in these books as our iron-bound protagonists engage in the next step in the evolution of battle.

This list includes novels, short stories, and mangas whose central plot features Powered Armor (including magically enhanced armor), Mechs, or more generally protagonists who have undergone any sort of marrying of metal and flesh.

Recommendations welcome! General rule: they have to battle.

Tired of looking for something to read among novels that haven't even concluded yet? This list is for you. This list will mostly be Japanese [light] novels, since that's what I read, but other Asian novel suggestions are welcome, too. I will try to avoid machine "translated" novels. This list will include both fan and official releases. The only criteria is that the main series must be available to read in English in its entirety. Side/extra chapters don't count towards this criteria.

PB is missing a lot of series, so this will take a while...

Some notable manga series to enjoy. Shonen-focused with a mix of Shojo.
