Hako Mari.

It's nice seeing a light novel on Baka Tsuki that is translated quickly.

Is Baka-Tsuki the only place for getting Light novel translations or do you know others?

Why on earth are you ordering LNs from Yesasia. I feel like killing myself just looking at your shitty image, imagining what shitty thoughts ran through your shitty mind as you ordered fucking BOOKS from Yesasia.
>>9908277
Most Japanese novels are actually easier reads than fantasy LNs. I had an easier time reading 1Q84 than I had reading Shakugan no Shana. Also, "otaku culture" stuff goes more for the 17-25 demographic. Of course I'm assuming you're talking about stuff like the latest Kodansha Bunko releases or something, not Mishima or Kawabata. Those are classics, only posturing hipsters and university professors care about those.

Sweden, I just don't feel like going through with the hassle of doing so. I usually read LNs in digital format anyways, but this time around I just felt for a change of pace.

Only saw positive reviews from YesAsia so I decided to order from there, seems like it was a stupid move.

I don't like honto because there's no way to figure out the exact shipping cost until you order and they tell you. That said if your order is on the lighter side the shipping is way cheaper than places like Amazon. You could make a fairly accurate guess with their price guide, like >>9912451 posted.
