With how quickly Seven Seas is churning out audiobooks of light novels, are they actually selling?

Do people prefer listening to a light novel over reading a light novel?

>lns are like 90% back and forth dialogue
>do audio books with a single narrator instead of audio dramas with one actor per character
Fucking why?

>doubling the costs when it won't double the sales
this is basic capitalism

>Big tiddy ho voiced by a dude

Yeah, not sure why they wouldn't have a woman voice this.

Do they use the original Japanese voice actors?

Protagonist is male even though the covers only show big titty elf

>>281288126
Would a heterosexual male rather hear a woman doing a man voice for the protagonist, or a man doing the heroine's voice? It's obvious.

>>281288177
Pretty sure Seven Seas stopped targeting heterosexual men a while back. Women and gays are their audience now.

>>281288204
Makes sense when women are more willing to pay.

I'd only listen to an LN narrated by Gilbert Gottfried, but he's dead

Women aren't buying all the haremshit isekai

>scruffiest guy you know puts on a cutesy high-pitched voice to potray the sexy heroine
yeah nah im good

The LN audience doesn’t actually read books. If they did, they would realize how bad most LNs are. One look at JNCs lineup should tell anyone how much low quality trash is flooding the market. You can only polish shit so much, deep down it’s still shit.

did the guy really voice seras' dialogue too? like most naroukei it's first person but i thought they'd have each character with different voice actors/actresses like normal audiobooks

>>281289990
seven seas audiobooks just have one person that does every voice. all voices.

>>281289812
JNC is intentionally crippled by Kadokawa. YP will get first pick on anything good.

>>281290418
There’s still some decent stuff not from Kadokawa they could be licensing

>>281288110
No

Are any of these even any good? Can't imagine they are

There was a guy on YouTube who made fan audiobooks on volumes 6 and 7 of Konosuba which were really good, he did all the voices and added music and effects and stuff. He had a melty and deleted his channel a while back. Still have them saved. Dude unironically sounded better as Megumin than her awful dub VA.
