/lit/ - Literature

I hate litrpgs, gamelit, isekai and harem. I shan't be reading them

If I've gotten multiple warnings for posting graphic novels then this shouldn't be allowed either.

Your choice

Graphic novels are basically comics

Web novels are basically fan fiction and explicitly prohibited, while light novels belong in /jp/. It seems there are some young "free thinkers" among the mods now, who want to relax the rules, but all this does is bring the board quality even lower.

>explicitly prohibited
Please mark in the image where this explicit prohibition is. I can't see it.

>>23381041
>based on an existing work of fiction.
How does litrpg, or any other webnovel count as "fan fiction"? Unless you think that every webnovel is made using existing material, which is entirely not true. Excluding the mountains worth of fan fiction, there are thousands upon thousands of original works, all of which are original. Please clarify.

>>23381046
nta, I'm OP, but yes, fan fiction is not allowed. You aren't really helping my case here.

>>23381063
nobody (especially the jannies) cares about those rules.

>5963 chapters
Almost 6000 chapters......
Someone needs to stop this guy.

Why is stuff like this being translated and not something like Kingdom's Bloodline?

>>23381473
The Mech Touch isn't translated, it was originally written in english. And iirc, didn't Kingdom's Bloodline start translating again?

>>23381559
Ahh that makes sense. Qidian debacle killed off fan-translations
Yeah it's being translated again, unofficially, but slower than it's getting new chapters

>>23381576
3 chapters a month lol, give or take

Webnovel is notorious for shitty translations that get axed halfway, something like WuxiaWorld is more reliable.

>>23381568
Hmmm.... that changes everything. Perhaps less Japanese stuff? I originally wanted to make this general more focused on the entirety of the online web novel scene(English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, etc.); light novels were a last-second addition. That general seems to be entirely dedicated to Japanese web/light novels, so I think I can make this work without any major collisions.
Let me think some more.

>>23381643
Well, I appreciate that you're actually thinking about it rather than being stubborn. Rare non-fag OP.

>>23381568
your point? there's nothing in the rules against this thread existing here

>>23381568
Maybe some people can’t read fucking moon runes and would instead prefer to read translated LNs?

>>23380957
Some visual novels are just superior to other forms of literature.

Find me something better than Fullmetal Daemon Muramasa.

>>23381655
Thanks. I stopped thinking 2 hours and 38 minutes ago. Soon.

>>23381756
>Fullmetal Daemon Muramasa
Haven't really tried any VNs, so I guess I will start with this one.

>>23381568
I don't read japshit I only read chinkshit. Nothing in japshit is as good as reverend insanity. Simple as.

>>23382920
Try Ouroboros Record, another good novel with an evil protag. It's Jap btw.

>>23381568
They are right to be called "light novels" since most of the ones I've tried seem to be missing majority of the content.
I'm a "heavy novel" enjoyer myself. Glacial pace and a lot of details are what I like

>>23383801
Yeah but the mc is reverend isn't evil just for being evil. He is an opportunist with no morals. I'll look at it but novel updates paints a bleak picture of that japbook. Plus the best part of RI is the world building.
