  1. City Series
  2. Gekitotsu no Hexennacht
  3. Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon
  4. Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon Kimitoasamade
  5. Owari no Chronicle

randomly.

Kawakami Minoru authors light novels reading order?


You should probably go in the order in which they were released, as Arcane
also mentioned. But otherwise, an ideal order would be as follows:

  1. Owari no Chronicle 
  2. Owari no Chronicle DC
  3. Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon
  4. Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon Kimitoasamade
  5. Gekitotsu no Hexennacht
  6. City Series

Note that Owari no Chronicle, despite being several thousand years before
Horizon, sets up a lot of the technology and gives a lot of explanations as to
why some of the stuff in Horizon is the way it is, so I recommend reading it
before that.

And The City Series is sort of it's own entity. It takes place after Horizon
(thousands of years...sort of), but was written before both Owari and Horizon,
so nothing is "carried forward" in-universe. In addition, it's more of a set
of short stories, with each novel in the series taking place in a different
part of the world with different characters. Feel free to read whenever.

This should make for an ideal read, according to me because that is the order
in which I read them/am reading/will read, and it makes sense. Unfortunately,
I couldn't find an _official source_ , so this is based on personal
experience.

Also see this, regarding the release dates, though I'm pretty sure you would
have already seen it : <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoru_Kawakami>

**Edit** : Regarding Gekitotsu no Hexennacht, I found something that
ascertains that it's after horizon and before city series:

> Clash of Hexennacht (激突のヘクセンナハト) is a light novel series written by Kawakami
> Minoru (川上 稔) and illustrated by Satoyasu (さとやす). It began serialization in
> Dengeki Bunko Magazine while its manga adaptation runs in Dengeki Daioh and
> is set for its first full novel release by Dengeki Bunko in August 2015. It
> takes place between Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon and the City Series, two other
> series by the author.

Also the order which I mentioned above isn't a _strict_ order as such, but I
have tried my best to arrange them with respect to the enormous time span in
which they are set in. They are not _very_ tightly interconnected, but
basically set in the same world, as created by the author. So there isn't any
specific order, but the above order is what you should follow, according to
me.
