So I tend to highlight books when I find a particularly impactful, funny, or otherwise noteworthy moment of prose. I can say with confidence that the author I have highlighted the most is Yuu Tanaka of **Reincarnated as a Sword **fame. Just a great mix of action, dialog, humor… a perfect all-rounder. I have no issue reading and re-reading and re-re-rereading his books.
Honorable mention goes to Kaye Ng, the author of The Villainess Is An SS+ Rank Adventurer. She is incredibly witty with her dialog. So much so that even when she reuses jokes they continue to have their punch. A few random examples from the 3rd book with absolutely no context:
“What are your current bribery rates?”
“Very low. I have no standards whatsoever.”
Coppelia gasped, her hands covering her mouth. “You mean … there are people who don’t design their own death corridors?”
“You’re going to stick your sword into the magically warded keyhole full of explosives, aren’t you?”

I do this all the time. I have a text file with quotes that is several pages long (but quotes some everywhere not just LN). Maybe we should do another favorite quote midweek discussion sometime.

Patrick Rothfuss for me. Not an LN author but the guy has a way with words.
Oh yeah, he’s so good! I can’t wait for the conclusion of the Kingkiller Chronicles… heh… hehe…heh… sigh
Speaking of non LN authors, add Philip Pullman to the list. I remember reading a page, then rereading, then continuing to read before going back to that one page and reading it again because the writing was just that good.
