The Empty Box and Zeroth Maria, Vol. 1 (light novel)

The book was in a good condition. The issue was that it came in black plastic bag, no protection whatsoever for the book.

Amazing series i have completed it all till vol 7. Seller was good packing was good with no physical damage of any sort on the novel.

It is very good dark them novel you should definitely try it

Its dark, mysterious and gripping. What else do you need? As a light novel it's not really that light. Actually its a really dark story, one that is as creepy as it is interesting. Its flaws lie on it being a bit too chessy at times. It also depends a litte too much on shock factor sometimes. But it's good points outshine the bad. Characters are well written with decent development. The over all plot is extremely interesting and thought provoking. The novel has so much more to say than a lot of others I've read. If you're thinking of getting into light novels this is probably a good start. Will not recommend it to someone who does not enjoy dark stories though.

Great.

Huge fan of the series. Bring the rest of the volumes too.

great story

For someone who reads lots of light novels, I rarely feel the need to leave a review for one, much less give it 5 stars, but this first volume impressed me enough so here goes. The style that the novel is written in pushes the boundaries of its genre to their limits. It's hard to pin down if this is a fantasy, your typical high-school story with a twist, or even a mystery novel. Regardless, it follows through with all of these brilliantly. Pacing is good, character development is interestingly flavoured, and the story has a very genie-in-the-lamp "be careful what you wish for" kind of vibe. A great start to what looks to be a great series.

I had heard many good things about this light novel before my pyrchase and it certainly didn't disappoint! The story, the characters and the writing are all very good and I couldn't resist the urge to keep reading and find out what happens at the end. From what I've heard the series gets even better with its later volumes so I'm definitely looking forward to it!

Originalmente leí una traducción no oficial de esta novela y dado a eso puedo decirles que esta fabulosa serie es una que ningún lector debería perderse. La historia comienza muy ligera, con bastantes clichés y algunos personajes un tanto blandos y genéricos pero esto no es causa de preocupación. La forma en la que el autor desarrolla la historia, la situación extraña en la que se encuentra el personaje principal además de la conclusión hacen que no puedas dejar de leer este volumen.

Davvero un bel libro

I don't usually read Light Novels. I saw this one highly recommended on Reddit and decided to give it a try with an open mind. I found the overall concept and story fascinating. Trying to figure out what was going on and when was a lot of fun. When I read the awkward "Do you notice anything different about my best feature?" exchange I was worried it would be throughout the book. Thankfully, that stuff was kept to a minimum as it adds very little to the story/characters and makes the book difficult to recommend to co-workers and family. I'm glad I read this story and will be looking forward to reading the coming volumes!
