I do agree with this but still, I like to read them. Because they're "Light" novels, not too long not too big, not too complex. Just right for a light read. You know it's fun to read.

Also all the e/lit/its get out. We know theres other books that have done all this better and whatever. But you know what. I don't fucking care. Just because you find Tolstoy or whoever awesome doesn't mean I do.

I think you're totally ignoring the fact that most Animu and Manga are based of LNs. I also get the impression that you think reading books is "deep". It's not.

Books? What? Light Novels aren't books?

He is referring to the fact that Light Novels don't use complex kanji and scientific shit like most actual japanese Novels do. Since in Japan you might actually be unable to read a fucking book since the fucking kanji is too complex. So they use minimalism and wordplay to go "deep".

Well I do feel the same way except for Sci~fi.

Fantasy and other Western books really are not in my field of interest.

But I love the light writing in Light Novels. I love the stories, I love that you can picture the characters in your head because you get nice 2D pictures. I love that most of them get at least an anime or manga.

And being required to read fucking Anna Karenina, War and Peace, The Death of Ivan Ilyich in High School made me HATE long fucking useless books that take 1000 pages to get to the point. Yes I am not a fan of literature like that. Maybe I'm not intelligent enough or something but I enjoyed Wolf and Spice a billion millions times more.

Also I really enjoyed Zaregoto because I've never seen or heard about it or any of it's characters that made it much more fun to read! I know how japs feel about LNs after reading that one.

So it took them 2 years to release the second book damn.

Well it's only €12.74 for the both of them, I'll buy it.

Thanks for the recommendation anon.
