/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Oh man, most of those sound awesome.

>1. Little Sisters, Don’t Hit On Me!
Don't hit on me, silly imoutos!

>6. My Little Sister is Mad Because My Girlfriend Came Onto Me?

Squirting fetish?

>Light novels
Why are they so shitty?
Do the publishers just print anything without any QC?

>>9700543
pretty much. light novels are just that: light, and largely on the level of twilight and other fun young adult novels. they're meant to pander to otaku, much like you can see above.

>>9700543
This is nothing new. Shitty pandering novels have formed the majority of printed literature since, well, the invention of the printing press (excluding theological texts, of course).

Looks more like people trying to replicate the success of Ore no Imouto than actually caring about the market for it

>>9700572
light novels are especially bad
the one good thing is that you don't waste much time on them. it takes me much, much longer to read a "normal" novel or non-fiction book than it does to read a light novel

I wish those were about more interesting little sisters. Like a LN where your little sister is an Indiana Jones-style archeologist (she's also a tsundere tomboy obviously) and you need to save her from the deathtraps and angry mummies she invariably will face, or one where your little sister is a mad scientist in an ill-reputed Eastern European country and your tasks include calming down the pitchfork-wielding mobs when she goes too far with her experiments (after you're done with the mob, you'll have to chide her for trying to create life again), digging up corpses and catching your neighbors' pets for various purposes or pulling levers to activate some grand system of your sister's design while she cackles madly and lightning crashes around your castle (she insists on calling you "Igor" during those times, but you don't mind because she's your beloved little sister).

Little Sisters, Don’t Hit On Me! is a great title though.

>chide her for trying to create life again
"Let's create life together"

Tomino is going to fix this shit with G-Reko, just you bakas watch.

>>9700635
Those sound pretty fun.

>>9700635
Kawaii as fuck.

But really, some of those ideas aren't half-bad.

>>9700572
>excluding theological text

You mean wish-fulfilling escapist fantasies about powerful magical beings interacting with humans? They're an epitome of shitty pandering, why would you want to exclude them?

le edgy reddit atheist XD

>My Little Sister Who Is Popular With Girls and Me Who Suffers

Jelly of his lesbian tomboy sister?

There's no way ｍｙ little sister can be this cute.

Is what the title should have been. ｍｙ would be in italics, if it were possible on 4chan.

> My Little Sister Can Read Kanji

Well I hope she can. Otherwise, unless your sister is like six and a child prodigy, the title would be My Little Sister Rides the Short Bus.

>>9700782
You should read the summary of it.

>>9700812
Deep 10/10 writing, suitable for comparison with epics, classics, and modern.. okay maybe not modern literature.

>My Little Sister Who Is Popular With Girls and Me Who Suffers
i like that one

Forbidden fruits are always the sweetest.
You might aswell ask why women in their mid 40 are into romantic novels with love triangles

Thank you moot for welcoming the /q/ overlords to this board. Now I don't even have to go to sankakucomplex to get my daily dose of bitching about otaku lifestyle, pandering, and all that other nonsense.

>>9700881
Come on now, people have been posting such shit for years to stir up the users of /jp/

>>9700511
Japan is pretty good in plagiarizing shit, apparently. Most of these would never fly in the west thanks to our restrictive copyright/trademark policy.

>>9700511
the titles are very descriptive

>>9700511
Why can't they think of any good names for the titles? They're so shitty that it sounds like it's not even trying to be a well written book and that it's just trying to cash in on a craze.

>>9701479
Most of them are pretty good, what are you talking about?

>>9701502
I'm talking about the title names. The titles sound shitty, I don't actually know the contents of the books.

>new trend
japantoday is shit. they don't even know a thing about what they are trying to make an article of.

>>9701512
It's not the languages fault that everything sounds worse when translated into english.

>>9701512
I was talking about the titles, I'm really liking this trend of naming everything with ostensibly descriptive labels. "I Tried Controlling My Rebellious Little Sister With the Power of the Devil King" in particular is a stroke of brilliance.

>>9701564
Oh, well I'll have to disagree. To me, the titles sound like they weren't really thinking. They're basically sentences describing what the book is, and anyone can take a book think of a descriptive sentence and slap that on as a title. I've always thought that titles should be a noun or short phrase lacking a verb like, "The Wolf" or "The Wolf in the Woods" not "My little wolf in the woods likes to eat human meat!" I think it takes true genius to think of a short and powerful title that has impact. Anyone can describe a picture in a thousand words, it takes real brilliance to do it in one.

>Little Sisters, Don’t Hit On Me!

Best titles

> I Tried Controlling My Rebellious Little Sister With the Power of the Devil King

>>9701589
"My little wolf in the woods likes to eat human meat!" > "The Girl, the Wolf, and the Axeman" >>> "The Scarlet Cap"

>There’s No Way I Can Be Empress of a Parallel Dimension!

Yes please

>The collection of images you see above are the cover art for all of the “little sister”-themed light novels planned for release from August to mid-October.

>The Scarlet Cap
Is that.. Do you mean Little Red Riding Hood..?

I do agree with your sentiment, though.

>>9700534
My favorite imouto

>>9702249
Yes. It's also called little red cap.
