Syosetsuka ni Narou Discussion Thread

http://syosetu.com/

"Syosetsuka ni narou" (小説家になろう) or translated as "Let's become a novelist" is a web-novel posting site. With some publishing light novel companies printed several titles, I think this site need to be recognized more. Who knows? you might find any interesting title here and then find that its adapted into other media (Hopefully). Some titles from this site that has been published: Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Log Horizon, Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari, Next Life, Mushoku Tensei -Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu, Re: Zero Kara Hajimaru Isekai Seikatsu, Nee-chan wa Chuunibyou!, etc etc

This thread is for discussing several other titles that doesn't have their specific thread. Feel free to discuss, suggest, introduce, or talk anything else about Syosetsuka here.

As a start, I'll introduce one title which is quite new and I really loved this one

Original Title: モンスターのご主人様
Romaji: Monster no Goshujin-sama
Alternative Title: Master of Monster

Majima Takahiro didn't know if he is lucky or unlucky. Suddenly transported to a forest, he and the other students and teachers are soon attacked by a dragon. He is pushed back by the masses and falls down. When he was about to accept his death, one student managed to kill that dragon with one attack, and he is saved, thanks to luck. Students and Teachers start to gather and to survive in what they perceived as another world, they decided to work together and make a settlement there. They called themselves as "Colony". The colony are divided into 2 group: Exploration Group (around 300) who possessed "Cheat Ability" and Resident Group who didn't (around 700). Unluckily, Takahiro are one of the latter. One weeks had passed, and the Exploration Group decided to start an expedition with mission: to find a way out from the forest and meets with resident of that world. But unlucky tragedy happened, as soon as half of Exploration Grop depart, several members of "Exploration Group" who stays behind, start a coup d'etat and as a result, annihilated the only place they can live in. That day, the Colony is gone, a violent fight occured between 2 parties, and the "Resident Group", who didn't possessed any power to fight, are forced to run. The tragedy didn't stop, victim of the uproar started to appear between "Resident Group" and some of them started to assault the others, Takahiro are one who is attacked, by his own classmates. He falls to the ground, and by luck, didn't get killed. He then run and loiter in the forest for 3 days, before he finally found a cave in the morning to shelter himself. His body injured and fatigued from stress and hunger, his mind wounded, which started to hollow from sense of powerlessness and being betrayed, he then realized: that human being are just trash, he can never and ever believe humans. In that state, a monster approached him, a slime... closing on his hand, the slime attempted to swallow him. Finally realizing that his luck may have just run out, he squeeze out his feelings, "......Someone, please help me"

This is the story of a fantasy, of a human, and his "family", finding the light of love and trust even if the light was surrounded by the darkness of human hearts.
Another Tenshou, I wonder why this theme of "transported to another world" is so popular? I also wonder why some titles have similar setting? but I don't care about it anymore, as long as the story good, I'm in! To me, reading a story is like eating a cake (I love cake~ ) as long as it's delicious, the topping doesn't really matter be it tenshou, tensei, or Isekai

Why do I like this title? Fantasy is a man romance they say, and then the theme about human hearts, and then the Heroines are just cute~~

My search keywords usually are: fantasy, ongoing, arranging from title with the most evaluation or arranging from title with the most unique users.

EDIT:
Spoiler for translation for easier narou page navigation:
