I have been into fantasy light novels for two years. I love fantasy novels and anime that feature swords, magic, and monsters. But I don't really like ones that mix in modern technology and life. My favorites are Konosuba, Re:ZERO, Mushoku Tensei, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Ascendance of a Bookworm, and lots of others.

I am subscribed to Kindle Unlimited, so I can read a lot of them. But the first few volumes are free, and the rest cost money. When I can find an interesting one on Kindle, I buy the rest. How about Kindle Unlimited service in your country?

I read one light novel a day. And I am learning English. I want to talk about light novels in English. I might be able to help you learn Japanese. Please be my friend.

Thanks for reading. Sorry for my poor English.

Hello fellow people, I’m posting this because of an inquiry I have due to an issue that I’ve noticed and continues to grow. I have been deep in my anime watching bag for a while now. For the past two or so years, my main watch has been anime aside for once in a blue moon where I might watch a stream or a live action movie/show. The issue that I’m having is regularly noticing something that seems off to me in the story of an anime, and searching to find out that most of the time I get that feeling it stems from source material to anime adaptation discrepancies. An example I can give is rich girl caretaker. Watching the anime, I found myself confused at a few different things with that story. “Why did hinako fall for him so fast?” “Why did halfway through the season the main heroine somehow just got thrown in the back seat?” “Why do the other heroines get such better relationship development with the mc?” Each time I have questions similar to these (it might not even be romance, I’ve had this same thing with any anime genre.), and I take the time to do some research on it the answer usually comes back to “the anime adaptation left out such and such” or “compressed this volume” or “made this change.” I’ve found that this has been kind of ruining stories for me. Anyways, aside from my yapping (I don’t have a lot of fellow anime enjoyers friends to get this off my chest with lmaooo) I as an American resident would like to know how I can find reliable online sources (IOS friendly; not sure if that matters) for light novels/mangas to read from.

TLDR; I hate how anime adaptations always ruin a story’s progression with their plot compression and changes, so I want to migrate over to light novels and manga. Any good references for online light novel and manga sources that are IOS/American resident friendly?

Thanks in advance! :D

Hello, it’s pretty much what I wrote in the title, I can speak English but I’m french and sometimes I would like to share in French because it’s easier to write for me
So yeah, anyone know of a discord server primarily in french about Light Novels or about manga/anime with a light novel channel ?
And preferably with adults please, I’m 31 so I’d prefer somewhere at least with clear separation between minors and adults

Thanks in advance 🩵

Hi, I’ve been trying for a long time to find this novel I read a while ago. I don’t remember the title at all, or any character names. I only vaguely remember the plot and a few things that happened.

What I still remember:

The protagonist died in her previous life while going to buy something (I don’t remember if it was food or a cake) for her little siblings. I think it was some kind of apocalyptic world, because she mentioned she had never seen trees or landscapes like the ones in the new world. She reincarnated into the body of a total “trash” girl in an ancient matriarchal world. The original was already married, though I’m not sure if it was to one husband or several.

The original had sold her younger brother (who had a mental disability) to some kind of tavern or food-selling place. The new protagonist goes and gets him back.

I also think she taught the family of one of her husbands (they were bricklayers or builders) how to make heated beds, because the people in the village wouldn’t help them.

She had magical abilities from her previous world that she brought with her. She used them to strengthen herself, heal animals, help with farming, and tan animal hides, which she then sold.

She helped a couple when she bought some goats, and later hired them to take care of her crops. They had a daughter who became her little brother’s love interest.

There was a maternal uncle (married to her maternal aunt) who were like the early villains. They had taken the inheritance (the house) that should have belonged to her mother.

The grandmother was still alive (I’m not sure about the grandfather).

I’ve been searching for a long time and can’t find it. If this rings a bell to anyone or if you know something similar, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

I'm looking for "The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes" Novel in Korean but can't seem to find any website where it isn't sold out or overpriced. Does anyone know any good places I can look? I already tried Kyobo, Aladin, and recently tried BandiBooksUS which cancelled my order after they ran out of stock.

PS: I'm looking for the novel, not the Manga or the Ebook (I am looking for the PAPER-COPY)

Back in 2023, I stumbled upon the series on Crunchyroll, and watched it in two days. It was amazing, and I desperately wanted to read the light novels, after finding out that the manga and anime were discontinued. I have been searching for physical copies of the light novels in English for almost three years now. Does anyone know where I can find legitimate copies of the light novels, and if so, how many novels are there? I have seen a few novels that are numbered x.5 or x.25 and was wondering if these novels provide additional story or if they don't need to be purchased. So, can anyone provide me with the list of novels I should buy and where I can find them? Again, I don't want any fakes. Thanks! Series is Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash

Looking for any new Light novels to watch out for and get into, Any genre and available in English.

Drop your favourites.

Hello I decided to come here to ask for some help instead of searching blindly.

I've been reading a webnovel called "Got Dropped into a Ghost Story Still Gotta Work" I've currently decided to stop at chapter 200 since I don't want to reach the ending this soon

so I came to ask if any of you guys have some recommendations that are similar to it It doesn't really matter if it's magic paranormal activity like it or action/hunter I just would like it to have a similar vibe in the sense that the main character works in a company

Thanks in advance

Hi! I'm almost done reading the latest German-translated volume of Classroom of the Elite, so I'll have to wait for the next release.

In the meantime, I'd like to start a new light novel series. Since I prefer reading in German, I'm looking for something that's been around for a while and already has several translated volumes.

My preferences:

- Genres: Fantasy, psychological, mystery, drama, and romance.

- Characters: I enjoy intelligent, independent protagonists, especially those who use strategy or manipulation

- Complexity: I prefer stories that aren't unnecessarily complicated or difficult to follow.

- Romance: I enjoy romance, but I'd rather avoid cheating, forced relationships, or mind-control plots that artificially destroy relationships.

I'm still pretty new to reading light novels, and Classroom of the Elite is actually what got me interested in reading.

I've watched quite a few anime, including Solo Leveling, The Apothecary Diaries, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and My Happy Marriage.

I'd love to discover something new that I haven't already experienced through an anime, but I'm open to anything that's genuinely worth reading.

Any recommendations?

Algo que percebi quando comecei a me aprofundar no mundo das LNs é que é bastante difícil encontrar as obras dessa editora tanto legalmente quanto de forma alternativa. Alguém sabe o motivo?

I just completed the anime, now I am so curious what happens next, so from which chapter shd I start exactly to continue the story and also I have never read light novels. So is it good for me to start with this? Like will I be able to get that feeling and understanding from the light novel?

Reading novels in physical light novels or reading online?
