Anyone interested in light novels here?
I have already seen a manga community here, but I wonder if there's a light novel community here already. Thanks!
EDIT: The manga community's link is ![email protected]

I'd love to see light novels, webtoons, manhwa... But with the current number of users, I believe more generalist communities work better than several specialized ones
Maybe it would be an option to have something like a japanese pop culture community and cross post to that as a way to consolidate things.
So what generalist community does the light novel community belong to? /c/literature, /c/novels, /c/books?
Well on the website that shall not be named r/fantasy had LN discussions pretty often, and r/books occasionally. Isekai/fantasy LNs can go to whatever the new fantasy community is, the rest can go to c/books or stick around in c/anime i guess.
There also was a separate LN community!
Feel free to join: [email protected] . It's a bit lonely at the moment.
lightnovels So that all instances can join!
Yes I am, I only need a reliable source of novels. Legally or "otherwise" I just want some app that allows me to easily access light novels and that actually works.
BTW where the hell can I read the Haruhi novels?
I just download .epub files and read them in ebook reader
Do you read untranslated? I just buy from booklive and sometimes jp kindle store.
What's the situation like purchasing outside of Japan? I tried for decades to buy ebooks and neither Kobo nor Amazon would just let me give them my capitalist tokens as long as I didn't have a Japanese payment card.
Just pirated the books eventually because it was literally easier than trying to pay them.
Technically there's ![email protected] but as @[email protected] pointed out it's probably a better idea at the start to dump everything into one community and then move as demand develops
Reading the Spice and Wolf LN on a tour bus in the mountains of Taroko, Taiwan will always be one of my favourite memories.
Yep! Horrible isekai light novels are my guilty pleasure to read before sleeping. Admittedly, i haven't read any recently. I don't think there's enough light novel readers on lemmy yet to create an **active **community though.
Recently (finally) finished "Release That Witch", I also have read "The Book Eating Magician" and Solo leveling and now planning to start "The Kings Return" but its even bigger than those 2 above, I feel like I will spend most of this year reading it. ... which is kinda not the worst point tbh, it feels nice to be immersed in some universe for this long.
Ooh could you link it?
Will do, but you can link so everyone from all instances can go there btw!
Already joined just thought you might want to know !
