I’ve heard that Japanese light novels are more popular in east Asia in Chinese and Korean. Can anyone confirm this and if so, will we ever get as large?
Is there any western equivalent to light novels. I’m mostly referring to the illustration aspect of light novels more than anything here.
I’m looking for a good base-building/progression novel with a strong cheat/ability system.
I really liked Train Survival, My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Infinitely Levels Up and Road Survival, I have a hint system, especially the whole survival + upgrading base/vehicle + overpowered cheat/hint system vibe. I’m a big fan of MCs with unique abilities, infinite growth systems, hidden information/hint systems, or anything that gives them a huge edge early on.
I’m also open to:
- kingdom/base building
- summoning troops or armies
- apocalypse/survival settings
- game/system worlds
- resource management and crafting
- OP MC progression done well
Basically anything addictive with strong progression and satisfying power growth. Would love some recommendations.
I am looking for novels where the Mc is a monster via reincarnation, natural birthing or any other circumstances. I am fine with any recommendations but I prefer one a little more scary, or at least the idea or concepts within it are scary. I have read kumodesu Chrysalis and Evolution Begins with a big tree.
Loved the world building, slice of life though bit dissapointed with bits here and there
Just want to know , i want to start physical collection of lns i did read like rezero and to aru and tensura all in digital product .
So i decided to start with monogatari , i saw some reels abt sone bundles where you have kind of calendars , im aware that there are no illustrations except at the start or the book.
Just saw the notification about CR getting rid of all there books online. I was paying for ultimate plan for the extra 15% off on the books but I'll be dropping the subscription. Has anyone have some other reasonable prices for paperback LNs, from other locations?
"Hello! I rarely consume anime, manga, or light novels for fun, but I often see people online roasting certain series while praising others. I also came across a YouTuber mentioning that Frieren, Dungeon Meshi, and Witch Hat Atelier have remarkably refreshing fantasy characters. All of those series were written by women.
This led me to a question: Are there any well-written female characters created by male authors?
I’d love to hear your personal experience."
Anyone know mcs that cough blood with worried cast?
I LOVE a mc who is self sacrificial (or he's delulu and thinking he's not), who also coughs up blood or is always injured or killed = his companions are super duper worried or angry at him for always doing that, it's such a good trope and heals my soul.
I specifically love ones that litteraly has no romance (even BL -> cause it only focuses on romance and not the plot??) but has that friendship//companions troupe
Fics i read

Can anyone rec some?
Hello all, in the past few months I've been reading a few light novels for the first time, and got to the published end of the My Quiet Blacksmith Life In Another World and Banished From The Heroes Party series. Any recommendations for what to read next with a similar vibe? Many thanks in advance.
Recently caught up with the translated volumes of Rebuild World, and I really enjoyed it, especially the action. So now I’m looking for something similar. It doesn’t have to be sci-fi or anything; I’m mainly looking for similar vibes: mature action, a cool cast of characters, and an engaging story.
Can't find the any platform with that has this. As of manhwa chapter 139, where should I continue reading? I saw tht it should be volume 7 for rium.
Me quiero empezar a leer el libro de re:Zero pero no sé si leerme la novela ligera o la wed novel. Cuál me recomiendas.
También si empiezo a leerla desde el inicio o desde el final de anime
so you know the episode ended with a huge cliffhanger so I want to read the light novel to found out what happens next so which chapter should I read after episode 7
thank you
I mostly use fandom but it's not always of high quality..
Or i just screenshot whenever I'm reading one..
Are there any other websites or apps where I can find illustrations & download them while not downgrading the image quality ??
I don't read light novels a lot ( like I've read only few ones like Ascendance of Bookworm, Torture Princess: Fremd Torturchen, Overlord with 2-3 other ones ) however whenever I do I want to save the illustrations I see since how beautiful they look.
Best heroine in any LN? Your thoughts?
Like u said in title, a romance story(straight or Yuri) about a needy quiet girl
