What light novel(s) would you recommend to someone trying to get into the medium?

イリヤの空、UFOの夏 and 人類は衰退しました. They will curse you to continue reading LNs forever in hopes of finding something as good as them.

If you want something recent/ongoing, then りゅうおうのおしごと!. For something that's only a single volume long, 紫色のクオリア. These are similarly cursed, so they're perfect picks for a newcomer.

If you want the MOST cursed series, then ミス・ファーブルの蟲ノ荒園. Not only does it embody the appeal of LNs perfectly, it's unfinished and cancelled! (This isn't really a serious suggestion, but the others are.)
