This thread is for anything related to the discussion of Japanese light novels, WN / Web Novels included.
Learning Japanese to avoid mistakes and subtext trimming by translations and MTL is highly recommended.

Is there much of a WN fanfic scene in JP as well or is it mostly original fiction?
>>
>>48649771
there is but it's largely scattered around multiple sites and even web blogs
it is also 90% smut
>>
>>48649771
I run into those on pixiv most of the time.

Any light novel where a girl disparages asians for having small boobs?

I will also accept disparaging humans or elves for having small boobs.

>>48651078
I don't think you're going to find more than a few lines in some random WN, just use AI to write your hyperspecific fetish

Dendro's starting again.
>――普通の<超級>など一人もいない。
>――逸脱したからこその<超級>なのだ、と。
Yeah! Also, Kaido's been into western/Abrahamic religion lately, huh? Zachariah, Cata, and now we have Job. They're not exactly surface-level material for Asians; I'd expected for the seven sins (or the original 8/9 at most) to appear, but not saints, evangelists, etc. I'm pleasantly surprised desu.
>>
>>48651232
It seems like he does this Araki thing where he adapts whatever he's into recently into his work. This arc had a notable amount of Chinese myth Embryos too.
>>
looking for LNs with either Monster girls or featuring bestiality. Anyone got any recommendations?
>>
Is it too much to ask for epubs of the magical index series (original language) or do I just have to put up with reading jpgs?
>>
>>48651483
It's on moeway and should also be in their collections uploaded to nyaa.

No sex but schuld's TRPG

There are epubs but they're OCR, no one's ripped the officials from Bookwalker for some reason.

I love Setoguchi's VNs but never read his LNs. Are they similar?

>Say, Russian classics are also known for being depressive, but it's usually going somewhere, trying to say something, this just feels fucked up shit for its own sake
He's pretty inspired by Dostoevsky but I didn't get this feeling at all from his other works.
>>
>>48651356
oh, i see. interesting
"moral 逆転" with women-as-sexual-aggressors ofc doesn't work for me at all (given how i only read stories with exclusively sub female characters >>48624688) but i understand many people are not stupid inflexible 生粋のドS like me and can appreciate some more variety lmao
otoh "beauty 逆転" could…maybe be cool? the idea of (forgive me) desperate low-status love interests flocking the "actually ugly" protagonist doesn't sound very cool either. "normal" mc working hard to get stronger or whatever i like, but i'm not a fan of in-world logic where the mc just "gets" an advantage for free, rather than having to *make* things happen. but i might try anyway, especially since:
>Also with "family harem" I meant that the MC eventually also gets his hands on the female lead's family, and not just her, despite being fairly "loyal" in his own way towards her
this i do like the sound of very much

>I can concord with this statement, generally reading pages upon pages of bland sexual descriptions that are always samey and moans
lol yeah
although i will say there are specific words or expressions or acts that turn me on extremely strongly (e.g. in one of the 母娘 novels i mentioned above, the 母 character says お母さんのまたママになるところちゃんと見てね in one of the last 3Ps while going ああ、母親としてなんてことを internally and getting off on that shame)

in fact i tend to prefer novels in which emotional/character development occurs during h-scenes (whether it's various stages of 快楽落ち or just something purely emotional like two girls who previously hated each other's guts kissing like they're in love and playing nice as they get fucked) rather than just endless ああん. much more fun that way

>>48652890
japanese is great for degen shit in an untranslatable way in the same way that russian is good for being depressed in and tl cannot and does not preserve these nuances, but you won't know until you taste of the forbidden fruit yourself

>guy doesn't know about hameln
It is the main site for jp fanfics, at https://syosetu.org/. Anyway, web fanfics are a core part of the scene to the point that the early jp WN scene was basically an offshoot of 2000's fanfic community

The last /djt/ discussion not devolving into a slapfight for once got me curious about the state of MTL EOPs or at least N5s that are either regulars or just browse without posting.
So a few questions:
>First series found with an adaptation then decided to learn the WN/LN source material in english.
>First series you got into, then couldn't wait for translations and MTLd the novel raws (yomichan and hover dictionaries count as MTL for this).
>First series you actually took the plunge read (or are reading) raw without MTL, even if you had to check the dictionary on literally every other word.

Finished Nanatsuma volume 12 (ver. EOP). I knew everybody was horny already but this volume especially they're barely holding it in, at this stage I'm half waiting for the free for all sword roses orgy to happen at some stage.

A "proper" dictionary is more effort than a hover one and makes words stick better.
Especially if you only look up the kanji and not the conjugation with it, effectively cheating further.

>>48659484
go back to djt

I don't see how it's cheating to hover and lookup words compared to just copy pasting into weblio but you do you i guess
>Especially if you only look up the kanji and not the conjugation with it, effectively cheating further.
That's not even how they work
>>
>>48660474
You are using a JP to JP one, people usually use a JP to EN one.

i will argue /djt/ shit is not related to novels because it's always just EOPs shitting on each other's pants anyway
anyone that cares about learning will just autism up in silence for 1-3 years until fluent though immersion

ok? All it does is save time
>>
>>48659484
do people use the tool to MTL a whole epub LN at once and read it?
it is not in english but it had function to use ai to translate

what are some horror LNs? Actually doesn't even have to be a LN just having cute grills is enough.
