Those are basically a transcribed delusion and will get no attention without anime covers.
LN authors should all thank their illustrators for illustrating their anime characters in a tangible way.

it's slop like old pulp stories

Tale as old as time.

It's basically an industry built around anime screenplay pitches. They're universally better-written than manga btw, especially for adaptation.

Just posting my favorite LN

>>280518198 (OP)
Tell me you are an EOP without saying that you are an EOP.

>>280518388
So many good girls, even the used goods was good.

>>280518325
>especially for adaptation
The reverse is true. Manga adaptations always flow better just because of the format. LN anime usually have bad moment to moment pacing, weak episode climaxes, and missing important monologues.

>bad moment to moment pacing, weak episode climaxes
That's manga. Manga chapter climaxes oftentimes fall right in the middle of the A part FFS, not to mention the extremely clunky emphasis of major panels in moving manga.
>missing important monologues
Circumstantial at most. The larger gap between LNs and anime forces studios to actually make it fit the medium rather than being a glorified color version with downgraded pacing and inexplicably downgraded art.

>>280518325
It's also worth noting that the Japanese have a particular fondness for physical media like LNs and BDs, which is important for understanding how the LN -> Anime supports itself. It's honestly baffling how much heavy lifting that a small number of Otaku (relative to nationwide/worldwide viewership) are the lifeline of the industry.

What's the point of manga?
Those are basically a transcribed delusion and will get no attention without anime art.
Manga authors should all thank their editors for writing their anime characters in a tangible way.

It's more about merch sales. Always has been, but more true now that streaming has effectively replaced TV. Plus piracy is actually illegal over there.

>every medium but anime is just a script/screenplay for anime
I wish death upon egotistical animeonlies.

What's the point of openly displaying how little you know of what you're talking about? Jesus christ man.

Shuukura:

>>280518198 (OP)
I never understood how they became popular. Just take a look at J-Novel Club, there's so many shit light novels, the artists are wasted on the medium. The authors cannot write at all.

>>280518198 (OP)
Light novels were better pre Sword Art Online. Authors actually tried back then.

>>280518198 (OP)
They're essentially fanfiction that's actually gotten looked over by a real editor. Most LNs are adapted from WNs (web novels).
But they are still called "light" novels for a reason, the writing quality is usually very poor.

>>280518266
This slop is worse

>>280518198 (OP)
>be book
>yeah but I want to write anime in the book
>medium spontaneously comes into existence

>>280518198 (OP)
Look man, not everything needs to be Osamu Dazai or Yukio Mishima levels of deep. Sometimes you just want to enjoy a simple, easily digestible short book to pass the time. See how 99% of anime isn't some form of high art? it's the same shit for books especially LIGHT novels. Also watanare's author is like the biggest Eku Takeshima fan and thanks her all the time.

>>280518198 (OP)
Luckily BL is free of this trash.
Japan came in too late that China and Korea stopped BL LNs from becoming a serious thing.

They're now coming after Yuri with the baihe wave

Because verbose = good.

It really is just a anime / manga screenplay industry. Instead of traditional publishers which have some editorial standards and therefore must be reviewed before being let into a pulp / short story magazine, online self-publishing opens it up to everyone without being filtered by editorial gate-keepers. As a result most of if it trash but some rise to the top and these attract the attention of manga and anime publishers which is what everyone (who’s serious about it) is after.

>LN authors should all thank their illustrators for illustrating their anime characters in a tangible way.

Most of the time the manga is the better way to read the story anyway

>>280519430
I doubt most light novel editors could edit real novels.

>>280519785
Web novels =/= light novels to be clear

>>280518198 (OP)
Webstories are as old as the internet and these are just printed webstories. And webstories are just a modern version of pulp fiction.

The hate for LNs (literally marketing term to sell books) is always so fascinating to watch. Threads are filled with hottest pseud shit takes imaginable. And it always muh real books and muh writing. All this from anons who watch retarded cartoons (only exist to promote source material) and japanese comics. The same anons who barely can read subs and follow the most basic plot from seinen manga.

The mediums going to get even worse now that they're running English LN contests. We're about to get English trash added to a market that is not known for good quality.

What websites were Vampire Hunter D and Dirty Pair first published on?

>>280518388
Explain

>>280520011
Are you retarded?

>>280520049
You can take a minute to look them up, you might discover something interesting.

>>280520011
>Dirty Pair
The Microsoft Network

>>280518198 (OP)
They're just a screenplay for adaptions.
I'm rather enjoying the manhwa versions lately, Korea knows how to adapt and improve on the novels.

It's shit. Yurifags need to get better taste.

It’s kino

>>280519881
This.
>muh REAL books
>when the last time they read a book was back in middle school

>>280518198 (OP)
Isn't it incredibly common for the authors to thank the illustrators in the afterwords of pretty much every single light novel volume?

MC now has to help the ghost of Hikaru fulfill his promise to multiple girls in the school so that Hikaru could pass on. Pretty much all of the girls ended up fall for the MC
