This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

There are some great recommendations in other replies already!

IMO the best YA content right now is actually coming out of Japan (where they're called Light Novels)

Some series worth checking out:

Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World from Zero
Spice & Wolf
Ascendance of a Bookworm
World End - What Will You Do at the End of the World? Are You Busy? Will You Save Us?
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Don't let the titles fool you (especially that last one). A silly title will often lead to a deep and complex story only loosely related to the title.

The first three I named are some of my absolute favorites.

And this is just the fantasy stuff. If you're looking for sci-fi or rom-com, or something a bit heavier/darker, there are plenty more recommendations I can provide :)
