LNs have a wider range of settings so people can indulge in their isekai or highschool romcoms when they're in their mid-30s, and at the same time the gate's open for amateur writers to make stuff like biblia, tsuki to laika, kino's journey, spice and wolf, etc.
i picked up kino's journey when i was first learning japanese and i found it to be very easy to understand, but upon revisiting it years later it was very disappointing because of how straightforward and basic it was.
but then again it's fiction for teenagers so you have to temper your expectations
