Yeah I just take them and the dust jacket off whenever I read and put them back on once I shelf the book again. Keeps them looking nice by hiding spine creases. The obi's not really necessary but some of them have nice effects like holo-foil so I just keep all of them for consistency.

read the superior asanagi illustrated novel instead.

Anyone got anoseka 3?

>>46234102
Asanagi is wasted on orc hero.

Currently listening to 最弱テイマーはゴミ拾いの旅を始めました 4 audiobook.
Any other audiobooks that have a very slow, chill vibe in a fantasy world?
I guess bookworm is a bit like that, but 最弱テイマー is somehow even more relaxing to listen to. I know the story isn't exceptional, but it has minimal drama and is pleasant.

Heh, Caldina's (and Legendaria's) top brass be like picrel.
>>46233489
>what kind of monster girls they all are
The fuckable kind, as you can see.
>>46224854
>Some motherfucker hangs out with the second princess of Huang He
I'm willing to bet you that he's the Huang He variant of our boy Ray Starling. Just like Caldina's Benny, Legendaria's HENTAI, Gran Valoa's Shoyu, and Dryfe's Yuri. And yeah, the last part is really menacing, but also a good setup for Dendro's final part. Would be cool if the final fight got broadcast worldwide ala TTGL due to Laplace's encroachment.

anyone know if v3 of こんな可愛い許嫁がいるのに、他の子が好きなの is anywhere? i've only seen the first two

>>46238454
I'm still mind-blown by the name that was hidden under the scrambled text. We had シャシー since the part where Laplace whines about Ray ruining her plans, but the fact that the last name's コルタナ took me by surprise even though we knew Morter had an estranged sister even longer than that. You assume that kinda shit is largely insignificant and then Kaido comes in and slaps you like BITCH YOU THOUGHT.
It's a bit of a funny situation now with the sister being host to a conniving demon that wants to trigger The Evil, and the brother being The Evil's goon.

Read through all of 治癒魔法の間違った使い方 on a whim, love it when the entirety of the last volume is a closer to an epilogue. Always feel a bit cheated when the story wraps up almost immediately after the big bad gets defeated

>>46238528

some guy on tmw made this lame site that searches on z-lib and the large torrent collections on nyaa. It doesn't have links so search for the name of the torrent on nyaa yourself

Only found ひとりぼっちの異世界攻略 12 there so that alone makes it worth it, thanks.
But I really wonder how the fuck from everything I'm reading only that one and 俺は星間国家の悪徳領主 got any results (and yet あたしは星間国家の英雄騎士 did not).
It's not like I'm into anything THAT obscure either, NGNL got no results either, neither did iseleve (and that got an anime recently) or dendro, what's all that stuff if it's not the popular nor mostly-popular stuff?

>>46242712
sounds like an auto-translation error
just read it in japanese, stock settings work just fine
and if you can't, just copypaste the epub lines to deeptl as if you were reading it on narou or something

>>46242712
File names? The only known solution is setting calibre lang to jp, dev refuses to fix it because when you "save to device" the files get named correctly anyway

pretty sure some people would be into that anyway

I think the main thing I'm learning from reading all these fantasy LNs is that people are absolutely desperate for an mmo that doesn't suck shit

>>46245568
it's probably more nostalgia than anything because if you've spent any significant amount of time playing one you'd know even complaining about things with friends while playing it can be fun

>>46244504
the unfortunate thing about being into sexual cannibalism is that you only get to enjoy it once

>>46245568
i don't know, it feels like with dendro and similar adjacent series like crim-chan and FLFO they are collectively singing the swan song for the VRMMO genre, modern MMOs are way too much into theme park faggotry to really have the fun of ye olden days with the sense of community and fucking around with friends in a fresh unknown game with no datamining or metafaggotry, and the ephemeral memories of the early 00s MMOs can only last for so long
feels like once dendro closes it's curtains and the story concludes the genre will basically retire and rest on it's deathbed until all the other big VRMMO LNs also end or the authors either die or get axed and once that happens the genre will pretty much pass away for good

>>46246072
To be fair for those that are into it, it would still be the best sex of their lives.
Even if it's both the first and the last.

break the flags for a good end. Still can't stop reading though.

>贋作を作るその頭蓋、一片たりとも残しはせん！
Is 頭蓋 somehow different from 髑髏?

>>46249370
A difference in nuance. Like cranium versus skull. You don't use cranium/頭蓋 when you are describing it in a scary scene. Similarly 髑髏 isn't used to describe skull in, say, a scientific discussion.

>>46249370
髑髏 is for scary skulls like fantasy skeletons or pirate flags etc, 頭蓋 is more of a medical term

im not asking for some masterpiece but a bit of coherence.

>>46253137
Going to throw my hat in the ring with a single image.
Iseleve was comfy for what it was to be honest, the anime adaptation was surprisingly not shit and the OP was good for once.
Honestly between something like death march and iseleve, I would say this is better.
Also don't be a newfag that judges anything by the adaptation, most adaptations are garbage even when the animation/directing itself is decent, if not on the sole fact there's no monologues then by what they censor and skip.
>>46253194
The TL point was about TRPG anon, what the fuck.

>>46253214

Does anyone have the Index デジタル版, all I can find is OCR.

How the fuck can you get good at writing a decent impression/ review of a LN?
It’s pretty frustrating since you can read a niche untranslated work and can’t convey why it’s good

>>46254514
In English or Japanese? For a personal review blog or as feedback for the writer?

>>46254539
In English, it’s just that I see people passionate about JP media write long impressions or mini reviews in their account or channels in discord and think I can’t do the same even tho I can read the work just fine

>>46254514
>>46254652
I feel so much like someone telling a kid that santa isn't real, but most EN reviews are pretty bad.
Don't be fooled by the fancy language and seemingly well crafted arguments, the vast majority of them are straight up copypasted from an eceleb video essay or reddit post applying that argument to something else.
It's always the same few points too, something something characterization worldbuilding plot beats pacing execution, which mind you inherently isn't really a bad point of view to have, but when you wrangle the thesaurus layers obfuscating the point, it almost always ends up looping back to "Thing good because I like thing, it made me fell emotions because I took it seriously and got immersed, 10/10 would recommend."

>>46255050
you're too nihilistic
also this level of obsession with youtubers is not healthy

>>46255083
It's hardly nihilism when it's simply the truth.
The problem with most reviews is that they rely on the largely personal experience of, well experiencing, the thing.
Which is a more complex matter than it sounds when in short, actually doing so requires you to put a piece of your soul on the table alongside the review to expand on whatever your experience was with the thing.
Most people are unwilling or unable to do this, so they default to largely shallow points that will easily crumble if put on a larger context of what other things the person has experienced and given a review to (or in other words, checking if the points pass the double standards or hypocrisy check) mostly because they aren't really points but pointers to try say "thing good" in an intellectual and complex manner.
You could blame it on irony poisoning, on the tendency of people to avoid any and all vulnerability they could be attacked through in petty internet arguments, a fear of doxxing or simply not being comfortable with the idea of making it personal and blogposty, or a combination of all of them, but it's just what it is.
A lot of people are unwilling or unable to experience unironically anything they consider "guilty pleasures" or "childish", if not outright anything the larger public doesn't approve of, even if they are within the privacy of their lonesome, a full personalized review is asking for a bit too much.

>>46255123
that's just nihilism, you're just saying there is no objective value in the qualities a work itself and no way to describe what aspects of a work actually make it easier to engage with and experience pathos from, and the only way to have an opinion is "I felt X reading it"
no wonder you retards only praise autism since by definition OMG MADLAD is the purest essence of "it just made me feel a thing, okay?"

I just find it funny that neither of you dumbasses have even posted examples of the types of reviews that you supposedly look up to or look down on. You could be talking about completely different things but it's easier to just talk in generalities than to actually debate on the merits. Just like a so-called eceleb reviews.

>>46255357
You're far too eager on putting words in my mouth anon, and if anything I would argue cynical is a more accurate label, you're also doing a disservice to yourself and everyone else treating my point of view as the standard, on top of mixing that point of view with other prejudices you already have.
Any piece of media having objective qualities or not is frankly irrelevant to the point, the point relies on the personal points of view and experience of the person writing the review are what is important and the lack of willingness to allow it to happen from said person.
To put it in far more crude yet easily understandable terms, sincerity is what matters, and most people have none, not even to themselves.

>>46255375
he probably means the kind of long blogposts a certain type of poster used to write about eroge like 10 years ago

Guys, I am looking for a LN that I think released late 2022 or in 2023
The cover have a red hair girl with I think twin pigtails hair style and uniform, the art is pretty nice
The story is something like making friends or being an outcast idk
But it’s not isekai or fantasy, ur usual romcom
It’s probably just one volume

>>46255707

I know this is offtopic. But what do y'all think of my theme? (oled monitor).

>>46255974
Looks cool. Adding this to my backlog

>>46257854
You can't validate everything by calling it "worldbuilding" lol. The data dumps are no different from a rewrite of wiki entries unless they elevate the story, ambience or goal of the work. In this case, your expectations would be valid if the work happens to deliberately touch upon replication of magic circles in print. If the author didn't mention such an issue, then droppping an essay on lithography out of nowhere just looks idiotic.
You don't happen to belong to that specific kind of troglodytes that criticize LotR for its lack of discussion on muh laws and taxes, do you?

does anyone have the new cote volume y2v11 epub?

>>46258310
>you don't expect stories to make sense
>you don't expect "heh im so op cause of my modern knowledge" stories to actually use modern knowledge
You are so smart. It so much better having a reincarnted 15 year old able to advance the state of the art out of nowhere. I love that everybody else on the planet is completely braindead.
Remember when frodo was like, these orcs don't know anything about combat and solo'd the army? Me too.

>>46258557
Uhh, where exactly are you going with your argument lol? No really, where do you want to insert this stuff about lithography you are being so passionate about. Want a 15 year old to teach the natives about lithography, and make it seem like the natives are braindead? Or the natives are already using it which the protag comes across and then goes into a monologue about fucking lithography just because you want to slap it down somewhere for the so-called "worldbuilding"?
Anyway, this discussion seems meaningless, so why don't you give a scenario you can imagine, where a soliloquy about lithography doesn't seem idiotic and actually doesn't have a bearing on the story or ambience?

>>46258721
Did you forget how this thread started? I already said. Magical circles.

>>46258787
And did you skip all my replies? I am not asking you for the use case for lithography, I am asking for a scenario where the narrator can go into a discussion on lithography without seeming like an idiot.
For example in case of MT (the only series you named), did you forget that they use multiple custom magic inks to draw the magic circles? Lithography will just produce duds from the impurities. Maybe it was used in book engravings but rudy had no occassion to talk about that side of things. In the first place there's no indication that he even knew shit about printing techniques lol.
Other works I can think of are also more or less similar. Honzuki is the only one I can think of where you can shit on author not talking about lithography.

trust me i have tried that before and it fatigues my eyes after too much reading, lighten it a bit instead of leaving it pitch black

>>46259175
>did you forget that they use multiple custom magic inks to draw the magic circles? Lithography will just produce duds from the impurities.
Do you even know what lithography is? In MT first they make the base, then put ink over it.

>>46257113
>>46258557
>>46258787
This is one of the cases where bringing up examples would make this entire topic not meaningless, because in a lot of cases the series doesn't use magic circles at all or they form automatically as a manifestation of whatever the user is trying to do, but mostly the former.
And I don't know why but I get the feel you're basing your assumptions on adaptations that use them as signifiers that something is being cast rather than the source material.
I have read many a tism about reading the flow of mana of the enemy's mana circuits (for example kagejitsu doesn't use circles for normal fights, and I don't remember aurora using them either) but someone explicitly bringing up magic circles and not calling them an automatic byproduct is rare (like matty-kun's autism, and even then it barely counts).
In fact I'm not sure MT uses them often either, from what I remember normal casting works off the usual mana circuit and imagination system (even if the author doesn't explicitly say it despite trying to reinvent the wheel with touki because iirc, banana can't use magic like everyone else can due to not having mana circuits).

>>46259175
>For example in case of MT (the only series you named), did you forget that they use multiple custom magic inks to draw the magic circles?
two things, one that's an example of explicit spell reproduction and closer to programming and not floaty glowy lines in the caster's hands like your first post alluded to
two MT is pretty fucking shit when it comes to worldbuilding consistency (o my time travel) so this isn't the best example to bring up
>also brings up honzuki
of fucking course you're one of those

time travel makes everything go to shit unless the entire plot is revolving around it like back to the future, but having two types of time travel loops akshually is simply fucking asinine

>>46259522
sigh.... agree to disagree

>>46259522
oldeus only happened once bro

>>46259175
I'm pretty sure in Honzuki Myne does in fact complain that manually embroidering all these circles while pumping her magical energy into them is too much work so they started researching ink that can be used to draw or print the circles directly onto cloth, even though this method would need a fuckton of magical energy. That was how they discovered the invisible magic ink.

Thanks, I'm on page 80 of book 4 now, its really hype.

Kirito decides in book 2 they should build a village,and they build it around the Log house that fell in the forest,it's designed in a similar way to Centoria in Underworld. Silica tames a low level field boss called a thornspike Cave bear which results in them being able to raid its cave for iron ore over and over. Kirito is being attacked by a mysterious player girl called Mutashina,who puts a crazy spell called noose of the damned on him. At the very end of the book Argo shows up being followed by 20 insect players being chased a massive boss called the Life Harvester, Kirito and Asuna both realize this is just the Skull Reaper from floor 75 of SAO with flesh on it.Also, the leader of the insect players is Argo's wife Trish, so now 20 insects have joined Kirito town, in addtion to all their friends and 2 different NPC tribes.

AYO?!

Of course it's not. AB was just a shitty public tracker (though you had to register) that went full schizo private and banned 95% of their users. Nyaa was and still is better than it.

I'm just getting into untranslated LNs and is it normal for Japanese writers to randomly switch between first person and third person? I keep rereading sections of this book I'm reading because one sentence will be first-person, then the next will refer to the protagonist in the third-person. It's very confusing.

you're probably just not understanding it correctly

I just realized rudeus's last name is greyrat and all of his robes have been made from grey rat pelts.
This author is very clever, as expected of those wiley Japanese, what with their perl harbor and all.

i ended up dropping isekai mistress and started to notice why the authors other series space mercenary took off… the later so far feels way more inspired and the cast has more personality.

>>46264397
Happens all the time with webnovels, much rarer with pure lightnovels

How would you translate this name "チチアナ”?
chichiana
titiana
oppaiana
boobana

>>46264397
Minecraft isekai in particular had the problem of the author writing himself into a corner from the start, there wasn't much room for the characters to grow or have much focus when so many get introduced at the same time and with that setup all the spotlight would be in the plot progression with little room for the characters.
Seems he learns fast however, space mercenary starts with a much bigger scope (literally the size of interstellar travel) but the actual plot is much smaller starting out with just a few characters and doesn't bloat out the cast like minecraft did.

>>46264422
>there wasn't much room for the characters to grow or have much focus when so many get introduced at the same time and with that setup all the spotlight would be in the plot progression with little room for the characters.
Learn English.

>>46264440
but English is useless for reading LNs. You need Japanese or chinese

>>46264446
Chinese seems more your speed; judging by your lack of punctuation and morals.

>>46264422
yeah this explains why it felt like such a slog. and its a shame as it checks a lot of boxes as far as what i normally read.

What do you think will happen last
a) AI can translate Japanese at the level of the best translation teams
b) AI can 95% of the time within 20 guesses, guess the LN/Manga/Anime you are describing; one that you have forgotten
c) Both will happen at the same time.
If you said anything other than b you are braindead.

what does this have to do with ranobe

Why doesn't rudeus just tell luke, to ask the human god to say 2+2=5 ? Then either the human god will say it or refuse. If he refuses than luke will know he is untrustworthy and if he complies then luke will feel like 2+2=5, but logically he knows it isn't true thus the human god's curse is tricking him.

>>46264881

Assuming you're not just reading incorrectly, no that is not normal. Are you sure you're not just switching character perspective though. That's normal.

>>46263676
>>46266280
One thing that you CAN do in Japanese is write in a way that's intentionally unclear if it's in the first or third person at all, take this passage from "Iriya no Sora" for example.
It's possible that anon was thrown off by subject ommission and thought that the perspective was changing.

Not him but I guess he meant something like this. You could interpret it as a character acting as a 3rd person narrator, but sometimes forgetting the act and letting her inner thoughts slip in.

>>46266774
What do you mean by unclear, it's pretty obvious it's first person in your pic
>>46267509
Same here, her thoughts are described from a 3rd person pov, that's common, grimgar does the same thing
Guess I should read more, bc I don't see anything weird in these samples

>レーシャは、通とおり禍かのクゼを真剣に愛していた。
>いつも地方への巡回で忙しくしていて、年に三度くらいしか彼女の暮らす救貧院に顔を出せないのだとしても、彼女の歳としがまだ十を数えたばかりだとしても、淑女として真剣にクゼに恋をしていた。
Here her thoughts are being narrated
>困らせているつもりなんかないし、大事なところは呼び方なんかではないのに。
>レーシャの想おもいは真剣なのに、許せない。
Now in these lines there is no narration and her inner thoughts are slipping in as they are.

Not arguing that it's uncommon, just picked this page because I read it today.

>>46264935
That's just MT in particular being shit anon.

>>46267604
>What do you mean by unclear
Nothing in that passage would definitively make it first person; add one simple 彼は or 浅羽は and the whole thing becomes third person. Akiyama Mizuhito does this intentionally because it let's him seamlessly weave a character's personal emotions and third person narration together by blurring the line between the two.

>>46267779
Two things.
1: There's no real flop between the four particular lines of example dialogue you mentioned, all four are being narrated.
2: The narrator voice and the narrator being a character with a lot of sympathy to or even agreeing with a character is a thing some authors do (which is just part of the writing), which granted can trip you up when you first see it.
This is what I mean by a pseudo-MTL process happening in your head, this is only really a problem and there's a difference between the first and last two lines if you're internally mentally translating it to english first and then comprehending it.
Which is not what you should be aiming for, if possible from the start you should be aiming to not translating it, but comprehending it directly in japanese.
And if you are already comprehending it in japanese then that's what point 2 is for, this can really confuse people the first time they notice it.

>>46251499
Violet Ev-

>>46267982
The last two lines I posted aren't narrating any event, object, the thoughts or actions of anyone. They are simply whatever line came to the narrators mind(thoughts or opinions), and the narrator happens to be a character present in the scene, hence the confusion. To be clear, take this two consecutive lines:
クゼは困ったように笑う。- describes the action, which character did it and how it was done. Is a proper narration
困らせているつもりなんかないし、大事なところは呼び方なんかではないのに。- Comes right after but the thoughts aren't attributed to any character, and it's not クゼ from the previous line either. It can only make sense if you understand that it's not a narration but a thought from the narrator(レーシャ) herself.

If you agree that it can trip you up I don't know why you're trying to admonish the anon that started this topic saying he gets confused.

Are there any slice of life style stories with actual adversity? I don't want to read any epic adventures at the moment but the alternatives all seem to involve making a protagonist/their allies so strong that nothing is actually a challenge. I keep finding myself thinking that the stories would be way more interesting if they did the exact same local/low key stuff but without being able to just breeze past any problems.
Like Spice & Wolf does this by introducing limitations almost immediately so its not something that should be completely unheard of.

>>46270513

A couple of months late, but I finally finished the latest 86 volume. It felt like it took a bit longer to get going, but the last 100 pages or so were pretty great. And sure you knew it was coming the entire time but still that final scene with チトリ got me in the 心. Looks like things are coming full circle and we'll entering the final stretch. As per Asato's own words in the afterword, 次巻から「86」は最終編です

>>46270513
>Spice & Wolf does this by introducing limitations almost immediately
And breaks them almost as fast lmao.

Reading アスクラピアの子.
Fun stuff so far, although I'm not far in.
It's about a guy getting isekaied into a boy priest.
As a priest, he follows the tenets of his god (who seems like an asshole) while he himself has some quirks with his personality that makes him rather hard to deal with.
He starts off the story in the sewer with a group of street children and works with them to make ends meet.

>>46270513
SoL with steaks is objectively the worst genre.
If I want balls to the wall thrilling action I expect the wallest and ballest.
If I want SoL comfort food I expect the sugariest and comfiest.

If I want action but get SoL steaks the actual pacing will be slow garbage padded out with either mountains of bland character interactions or a shitty attempt at political intrigue..
If I want comfy but get SoL steaks then I will mostly be skimming the fight and not enjoying shit because I want to know if someone I give a fuck about dies and it's time to drop it.

How come western webnovels, even ones that end up getting published never get an associated manga or anime? But even the sloppiest of the sloppy nip and chink novels get manga + anime + live action?

kek
also 4 months to n5 is doable with a job, if you're neeting it up and put all your time into studying jp you can easily start reading basic stuff like yotsuba in about a week or so with the help of a non-hover dictionary and reach n5 within the first 1-2 months
it's easier than you think too, first 2 grades of joyo kanji, whip up basic conjugation sheets, learn your particles, you're good to go to start your pilgrimage of no longer being an EOP

>>46275647
You have no idea.
It's even better once you realize how bad it is too, if you're a fan of any series that shows up on normalfag radars I recommend you to watch explanations videos about it, like say overlord, kagejitsu or MT, it's really good comedy material.
Not only you will see takes that really show the guy hasn't read even a double digit of LNs past the first volume, not only whatever is accurate is the most basic takes imaginable, also what's not basic and is a bit more complex is more often than not outright wrong.
And I'm not even sure who's to blame for that last one, if they just have shit reading comprehension, the translation they read is wrong, or if they are basing it off one of the adaptations that also got it wrong, or a combination of all of them.

Turbo autism guide to learning Japanese as fast as humanly possible:

>Abandon all shame all ye who enter here, even if you think you don't have to, trust me you do.
>Flashcard your kanas, you shouldn't need more than 2 days to learn both hiragana and katakana even with a job.
>Use physical real ass paper instead of fake ass paper, don't use anki, REEL paper.
>Say stuff out loud when reviewing the cards, this is not a joke, actually do it, I want to hear your のs across the screen.
>Flashcard the first 2 grades of joyo kanji, make sure you write the kanji with the right stroke order (use a dictionary for this).
Writing stuff in real paper really helps for a lot of people, and setting up anki is a floodgate to procrastination to avoid, just stick to physical paper.

>Go to any grammar guide, learn the basic particles without flashcards, if you don't have a guide use https://sakubi.neocities.org/
>Realistically you only need は / が / か / の / も / に / と / から / を / で / や / より for the absolute bare minimum, don't flashcard them, just wing it until you "get" the meanings through passive immersion.
>Do the same for conjugation, through realistically you only need base/imperfective, negative, potential and volitional forms as the absolute bare minimum to barely scrap by, unlike particles you do have to study conjugation, but that can come later.
Immersion is far more important than getting meanings absolutely perfect because for better or worse all language is fluid and imperfect, doesn't help JP relies a lot on context too making immersion even more important.
Getting shit wrong is fine, what's more important is getting shit at all, you can always fix mistakes later, bad habits are a spook, if you want to get everything perfect on the first try go pay for some Japanese classes.

>Don't read yet, go sing some karaoke, be it anime OP songs or whatever is the FOTM to 歌ってみた.
This is not a joke, do it, no balls.
From what I have seen, karaoke or singing along is the second best way to immerse yourself in the language, second only to actually talking to a japanese person that happens to know english and getting corrections in real time, but you can't do that solo.
Doesn't even matter you don't actually understand anything, you have to learn how the language flows first, it will also help you nail down your kana if you haven't already.

Once you sing your first song (again, doesn't have to be anywhere close to perfect), then go start reading, and you bet I will tell you to read out loud too, most people come off as not even reading stuff in their inner monologue and just seeing the definitions of their hover dictionary.
Don't, voice it, BECOME your own audiobook producer.
From here it's just the usual "just go read bro" with some karaoke sessions on top.
Jokes aside, what I have seen is the biggest hurdles for EOPs when learning are first just "getting" that Japanese relies on context more than English, and not knowing how the language flows so you can "get" JP prose at all.
The former is fixed by trying to get what the song lyrics mean, not translating them, understanding them, which is hard as fuck and as sink or swim as it gets.
The latter is simply a "lack of proper immersion" problem, which surprise, audio input AND output also solves.

it's been said about nand flash memory but I think it applies to Japanese too
japanese doesn't say what it means, it says a probabilistic approximation of what it means

>>46276183
someone posted part 6 already >>46242252

>>46276266
sadly, it doesn't have y2v11
but I found what tmw means and I was already in that discord but can't access the download link because I don't have the "student role" yet
I have to do some quizzes or something first

>>46276248
>japanese doesn't say what it means, it says a probabilistic approximation of what it means
It's the same in English as well and from the looks of it, also applies to any other language.
The difference comes from the laconic nature of Japanese prose as a default rather than extending the prose as the default like English does.
In other words being laconic in English at best will mean people will easily misunderstand you, at worst it means people will twist your words on purpose, so being redundant and verbose in English isn't a fancy luxury, it's mandatory for basic communication.
If this is due to etymological or cultural differences between the two languages I don't know and frankly don't care.
Want an example? I will just repeat this post using the same language context reliance as I would if I said it in Japanese.

>japanese doesn't say what it means, it says a probabilistic approximation of what it means
It's the same in English, probably other languages too.
In Japanese verbosity is a luxury when you want to look cool, not a need.
In English it's mandatory to avoid semantic conflicts.
Why? Who knows? I'm not a linguist.
Want an example? I just gave you one.

>>46276201
how about you ask then instead of pretending what tmw is like a retard lol >>46275510

>>46276352
I'm not that anon tho and I didn't know what tmw was until I searched on google

>>46276345
that's not a difference in language context reliance, that's just a summary

>>46276377
fuck memeway faggots
TLDR: it's the moe way, it's a discord full of n5 anki grinders trying way too hard to be a secrit sharing club while most of the stuff they actually share that isn't taken off dlraw, anna's archive or nyaa are recent literal who 1-2 volume romcoms nobody gives a fuck about
seriously, aside from like 2-3 exceptions they don't even have popular series or seasonal stuff

>>46276377
you should stay away from tmw. stick to Tatsumoto, it has the best tools and resources.

>>46276608
I don't even use it and didn't know they shared epubs there
but since nobody wants to post a link here for cote y2v11, I guess I'll have to take the quiz to get the role for access

>>46276608
kys tatsu spammer

>>46276592
>seriously, aside from like 2-3 exceptions they don't even have popular series or seasonal stuff
lol

>>46276592
you do realize the huge ln torrents on nyaa are based on tmw uploads right
>they don't even have popular series or seasonal stuff
like, pretty much every popular season is there
and dlraw has like 10 epubs in total i don't know why you decided to mention it

>>46276650
the only ones i have seen they have is kagejitsu, evil lord, and that's it
iirc not even dorkness is there last i logged in on pisscord
and before posting that i checked the mega link, they have only up to vol 4 which they very obviously grabbed off dlraw
better than nothing i guess

>>46276675
>the only ones i have seen they have is kagejitsu, evil lord, and that's it
koujo denka no katei kyoushi
hazure waku
nageki no bourei
sao
isekai meikyuu no saishinbu
roshia dere
seirei gensouki
genjitsu shugi yuusha
saikyou uchuusen

>dlraw
you keep mentioning this site but i don't think you've ever visited it

Reading aloud is proven to stunt language learning.

welp, took me a while to find out how to do the stupid quiz but I finally did it and got the volume
thank you anon anyway

>>46276671
>you do realize the huge ln torrents on nyaa are based on tmw uploads right
90% of the epubs on the meme way torrents are literal who filler, that's my point
for example just checked for 即死チートが最強すぎて on the mega link which recently had it's final volumes AND has an anime airing right now
no results
no dendro either
no 7ken either
no nageki despite the anime announcement
iseleve is only up to vol 13 when vol 15 is already out, and that had a decent following
>>46276703
cunnies are only up to vol 14, raws are on vol 16
o my seras is on vol 10, raws are on 11, close
nageki is on vol 6 on part 3, raws are on 11
i'm not checking sao, fuck keeping track of that and it's spinoffs
異世界迷宮の最深部を目指そう is on vol 6, raws are on 16
roshidere is on vol 6, raws are up to 8
gensouki is almost up to date on vol 24, raws are on 25
realist hero is only up to 17, raws are on 19, also close
space mercenary is up to 9 on part 4, raws are up to 11

I know that every generation of DJTards always creates invisible enemies, cults over learning methods, split to different boards on and off-site and fight over which guide stays in the OP, but please keep your drama away from here

>>46276752
what mega link are you talking about why don't you check the actual channel lol
i know for example that uchuu saiykou is up to date because i got it from there, same for roshiadere
and what do you mean by "raws"
japanese epubs are raws

>>46276784
did they stop hiding everything behind multiple layers of quizzes and janny dicksucking to get access to the super secrit underground sharing rooms?
because if it's not on the torrents then what's the point of claiming to be a raw provider?

Have you fags tried paying for your novels? Bookwalker is very easy to setup.

>>46276797
the torrents are obviously going to be delayed do you even know how torrents work you can't just update them every time a new ln release is out
>multiple layers of quizzes and janny dicksucking
you have to pass one easy ass quiz to prove you're actually learning the language and don't have to talk to anyone

>>46276812
>you have to pass one easy ass quiz to prove you're actually learning the language and don't have to talk to anyone
there's multiple layers of in-rooms anon

>>46276811
>Bookwalker
imagine paying to not own something kek.

>>46276821
there is one book-sharing room are you an actual sub 50 iq retard

>>46276822
you can download the epub if you're not a retard, you know

>>46276825
or... you can just buy the epub directly retard

>>46276773
I keep telling you guys it's literal sabotage psyops yet you keep pretending it isn't like sheeple.

>>46276831
or you could just shut the fuck up and read something

>>46276881
>stop talking! drop the topic!
>please ignore my obvious kadokawa plant shilling, just shut up!
i accept your concession on that guy's behalf

>>46276904
whatever makes you sleep at night, dumbass

>>46276904
Thanks anon
>>46276907
>>46276881
Sheeple brainrot everyone

The primary issue with raws sharing groups has always been and looks like it will always be NEETs power tripping over it.
Because the ones controlling the groups are not even buyfags, actual buyfags most of the time just share with a "yeah sure lol, I happened to have it so here you go" mentality, it's always the power tripping retards trying to control the distribution of piracy that end up causing constant slapfights with their half-assed gatekeeping.

>>46276931
>actual buyfags most of the time just share with a "yeah sure lol, I happened to have it so here you go" mentality
it was the samething back in the BT days when it came to fantrans. power tripping neets are no different than patreonpigs. Egos ruin everything

The majority of webnovels have better editing than the majority of light novels. Quadruply so for translated light novels.

>>46276931
>actual buyfags most of the time just share with a "yeah sure lol, I happened to have it so here you go"
this kek
most of the time they don't even know Japanese too

>>46275664
bump

>>46277308
by definition the majority of webnovels have no editing

Anybody read 怪物中毒 by any chance? I need to stock up on books pretty soon and this seemed kind of cool. Also I really need to get into some publishers besides 電撃文庫 I swear it's not intentional but the vast majority of what I read is from them.

>>46277392
akshually technically given people can edit their wn chapters that does in fact count as editing
99% of the time is just a grammer fixing pass though

>>46277392
>Nooo they have to remove all the SOVL otherwise it isn't REAL editing
Take your sneed pills

>>46277308
>Quadruply so for translated light novels.
Given translators have fully dropped the pretense and have been rolling by using localization as a code word for censorship for a while, that's not a high bar to clear.
>Dark knight.

>>46277430
>localization as a code word for censorship
gg/election tourists don't know about 4kids.

>>46277458
it's not wrong, at least back in the day normalfags still pretended 4kids was shit, these days i have seen here and there people defending it

>>46275674
>>46275880
My favorite is the LotR videos that open up with a variant of
>I haven't read the books and only watched the first movie, BUT we all know this is the most influential piece of fiction in the history of mankind and...

>>46277467
the only context in which 4kids is defensible is that Pokemon is in fact for kids
literal nintentoddlers (especially amerifats) can't pronounce satoshi nor are they interested in learning about rice balls

>>46277467
The way the operated sucked, apparently for every broadcaster they would send first cut and then all of them would give notes on what isn't allowed and then they would edit the season. They should have just translated it normally and let each broadcaster handle censorship like every other series in existence.

>>46277493
For me it's the dozens of JJK videos, plenty of them an hour long or more, that for all the pomposity, boil down to:
>Gojo was a sad boy because he was born the strongest, and not only it's lonely at the top, people also only saw him for his power and never as a person, only his wacist boyfriend did and now he ded after betraying him :(.
Which mind you just after NGNL alone feels like someone telling me the boiling point of water and acting like they got it all figured out while being used to more complex chemistry shit while studying rocket fuel or medicine.

>>46277590
I doubt any of them really think they cracked some secret code. It's just their livelihood to tell people what they already know to make them feel smarter. Same reason why so much isekai uses CROP ROTATION

>>46277619
>Same reason why so much isekai uses CROP ROTATION
i actually don't see that often, if at all, it's one of those shits people claim is everywhere but i never see in the wild, and trust me, i narou dumpster dive
last time i remember seeing it was on ngnl and even there it was bundled with tons of other shit the MCs had in their phones
i also vaguely remember one where the land went to shit because someone tried the crop rotation meme and fucked the land but i don't even know if it actually exists or came to me in a dream
honestly a better example would be chantless casting because magic working off imagination
>b-b-b-but in this one MANGA-
don't care

>>46277655
that may have been death march, the loli reincarnator tried to get her people to do CROP ROTATION but the gods didn't like that so they cursed the crops to wither or something.

>>46277696
man death march was such a fucking blur
i remember binging like 10+ volumes over the course of 2 weeks and all i remember was arisa being a bitch, lulu being sexo, lisa being a sexo but having negative personality, aze being a shit, and that dude that basically held the gods at nuclear gunpoint once

>>46277717
this still sounds like a wild fucking ride based on these tidbits

>>46277744
all things considered i remember enjoying it enough to binge it that much, i just remember basically none of it
don't even remember hitting anything that made me go "fuck this" and drop it either

>>46277773
it be like that some times anon. this is why reading stuff once you're caught up on everything is a must.

Read Death March.

>>46272195
Sword Art Online.

>>46277655
i saw it recently in tsuki ga michibiku isekai douchuu

>>46277801
mad we never got s2
they're still pushing out new volumes and audiobooks so it can't be that unpopular

>>46277655
If death march is the one I'm thinking of I read a few chapters and realized it was SOL slop.
