Hi my lovelies, your friend is back again with a stupendous topic. Light novels like Classroom of the Elite trending for years now. However, one more thing lays the basis for these manga and anime popularity. It creates a hype that makes the fan base demand more adapted versions of their favorites. It is none other than Light Novels. They play a massive role in developing a particular manga or anime fan base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such is the case with Classroom of the Elite anime that started winning hearts in 2017. The anime was successful in creating a fan base of millions. However, the fan base started developing right from 2015 when its light novel Volume 1 was released. Classroom of the Elite light novel was a huge success, and many consider its light novel version more entangling than the anime.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, I am back here with light novels like Classroom of the Elite on popular demand. Mystery novels do not require extra effort to hook readers as curiosity keeps them going. Also, the chills and thrills keep feeding the reader’s curiosity to keep the balance. Classroom of the Elite was famous for its high school touch, and I am pretty sure you might be looking for high school mysteries. Am I right, or am I right? (XD)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oreki Houtaro is the protagonist of the story. The story begins when he joins Kamiyama High School. However, it’s not like the boy wanted to join; he has no interest in doing pointless things. Instead, his sister forced him to join the school for a mission. And the mission is to save the school from being abolished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After joining the school, our handsome hero finds strange things happening, making him curious enough to solve the mysteries. I am sure you and Oreki will be engaged in the mysteries of Kamiyama High School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Mysteries are only fun in novels but can become stressful in real life. However, if you have a high-functioning brain like Sherlock or perhaps L or Kira, it will be fun, no? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Ryoko is one such girl whose life is a mystery itself. Her amnesiac memory acts as a booster for mysteries. Yes, she has short-term memory loss. But, like Classroom of the Elite, her school is also full of mysteries. Some incidents happen, which leave everyone in shock, and the twist is our girl is considered connected to these incidents.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Now imagine an amnesiac person connected to the mysteries; isn’t it thrilling and exciting simultaneously? Let me give you a hint; the story isn’t as simple as it seems.

    8) The Irregular at Magic High School<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba are siblings who join an elite magic academy<\/a>. Like Classroom of the Elite, the school divides the students into categories. However, here we have only two, one is called Blooms, and the other is Weed. Blooms are considered the best regarding practical abilities, and the latter includes students who are not practicing well at magic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Miyuki gets selected in blooms, unlike our protagonist Tatsuya. Even though he topped the written exam, he was placed in reserve. However, our boy isn’t what he seems; he has a lot of secrets and mysteries. In short, he is an OP guy with next-level magical abilities. However, he prefers to hide his secret for a reason: to be found by you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He is the main lead of the dramatic and mysterious story, and his peaceful life turns upside down when a girl named Aya enters his school<\/a>. She is here on a mission; to top it off, she transferred to the school for the 13,118th time. Yeah, you got that right; this is not the first time she has transferred to the school.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      She has some exceptional abilities, and one of them includes granting people’s wishes. However, whenever she does it, it comes with a cost making her forget her memories. The Empty Box and Zeroth Maria are one complete package, as there is time manipulation, mystery, drama, thriller, action, and romance. <\/a>Ooof, what an impressive package!

        They used to ignore her to save themselves and other students from sudden and spooky deaths. That’s because they wanted to maintain a certain number of students in their class. If the number of students exceeds the specified number, they will ignore their existence entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
