Hey, /jp/. Want to talk about light novels? What are you currently reading and what's your favorite?

I'm about to start reading pic related.

They will just redirect me back to here or /a/ because they think it's "weeaboo shit".

And /a/ is full of newfags who can't stop bitching about "HURR DIZ BOARD IS FOR ANIME & MANGA, LIGHT NOVELS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE DURRR GO TO JAY PEE LIGHT NOVELS ARE INFERIOR MEDIUMS COMPARED TO ANIME & MANGA"

Spice and wolf translations are going to be picking up so I'm about to start reading that(Insert space wolves here)

That one guy did some of the Kara no Kyokai books in a somewhat decent fashion.

Pui Pui is stupid fun.

I need to see about making a light novel app for the fan translations, I've been reading so many books on my phone as of late.

Don't worry about the get out of /jp/ troll they run out of steam pretty quickly.

I think he should go open up a good book.

LN threads are not that rare on /a/. There is even one thrad that lists all the translated LNs. Take a look in the archive instead of spouting bullshit.

Nothing yet until my japanese is on an adequate level.
Until then, eroge erryday

I'm no expert, but shouldn't most LNs be easier to read than eroge?

They probably are, but looking up words and kanji you don't know is too much of a hassle compared to just copy and pasting them from agth and similar.

It really depends on the series.

Your normal eroge could be easy but then you have shit like liar soft games which are confusing as hell.

But the same can be true for novels, Your average shounen series is alot easier on the brain than say DDD when it comes to making sense of it.

This was pretty nice. Main character has an actual backbone and despite having a harem, he already chose his waifu right from vol.1. The first "Internet Tough Guy" protagonist I actually like. And I like the somewhat detailed explanation on the game's mechanics. It's not groundbreaking or anything, but it was alright and somewhat fresh.
Also I think the story should've ended in the second arc since the way I see it, the story has been concluded and there's nothing else to it.

It's not like back in 2006 anymore, though. Light novel threads really are rare now, and most people who make them there will end up not having any replies or getting troll replies like 'HURP GO TO /jp/, LN ARE NOT /a/ RELATED" by newfags who weren't there log enough.

My favorite light novel is Utsuro no Hako. The author is releasing the 5th book too. For a while it isn't confirmed if he was not since his April release was is so delayed.

Light novels are /jp/ related... Is it anime, or manga? No? Just shut up then.
