What's next for light novels?
more shitty light novels trying to bait an anime adaption
>>269212588It's about time for them to evolve into dark novels.
>>269212588nothing, light novels are a dying medium
>>269212610Kek, hopefully we will see some heavy novels in the future.
>>269212588Kadokawa IP farming by shitting out cheap English light novels, then watching them all crash. Also more carbon copy isekai that everyone forgets exists.
More romance
>>269212618Good
To add they published this as a novel instead of LN there in Japan so it wasn't included in the top 10 list.
>>269212662>>269212680all trash
They'll remain small and relatively unknown while the NYT best selling gay Chinese books keep growing and kick light novels out of bookstores entirely.
>>269212588killling manga.now zoomers know the pain of weekly mangaka with all those arthritis and backpain, and unless they are masochists they, will just write online novel and let manga, especially weekly, dead.
>>269212680>Kirby made it into light novelsKek
>>269212588Hopefully some good scifi because all this romcom and isekai shit is trash
>>269212662>>269212680But I thought isekai was crushing it like what /a/ had said all this time?
>>269212830Isekai started to die down a few years ago. LNs are 90% highschool romcoms now
>>269212830Japan's started moving away from isekai, it's slow but the transition is occurring. Westerners are still sticking with isekai unfortunately.
>>269212618Hate to be bearer of bad news but the sales is growing in japan and evern more in sea countries. It's not going anywhere in the near future
>>269212815Just recently there's a new sci-fi serialization came out.
>>269212830This again? Check how many times Bookworm won that contest. It was put in the hall of fame and is no longer eligible to compete for that award. Obviously every recent isekai LN has been slop of the worst kind and doesn't deserve to win it one way or another.
>>269212662>Reader in 10s keeping No Game No Life relevant in the holy year of 2024
>>269212767How the fuck did this shit become so popular? They went from nothing to exploding overnight. There was so much of it at AX.
>>269212992So just a single title in the plethora of isekai seven seas?
>>269212729This was such a cardboard should in the anime, is its text form somehow much better to be classified as a novel and not an LN?
>>269213047>cardboard shouldcardboard shoujo**
>>269213046>moving the goalpost
>>269213047
>>269213032Japan can't write BL novels very well, so China and Korea got ahead of them. The censorship in China is also forcing the writers to put more focus on the story and character development. They're well polished trash.
>>269213063Overall list of the titles ranked in each of those years would indicate a more clear picture of isekai domination throughout the field during its peak, am I right?
>>269212830>like what /a/ had saidwere they talking about anime or LNs
>>269212588Give me some good recs, no Isekai onegai. Something like picrel is good. I feel like there's not a lot of LN catered to people in their 20's
>>269212588dark novels
>>269214004They fuck.
>>269212659Kadokawa will burn and it will be glorious.
>>269212588If you are asking about your collection you are missing Haruhi Suzumiya.
>>269212588more salad bowl anime pls. The novel is lacking livia sunny voice and sara stupid song, most and foremost, no UmU.
Probably AI
>>269212588heavy novels
>>269212588Hopefully more Arifureta
