Are you complaining about long Manga series?

Japan adopted Zen Buddhism ages ago. It KNOWS brevity.
People like Charles Dickens wrote long ass books because he was getting paid by the page.
Capitalism, man.

Not him but I still listen to orchestral music and imagine myself fighting against overwhelming odds, forces of darkness, and fate itself. I'm 30.

you're being stupid op. I know that at least half of those are series, and the west has way more series with just as many pages if not more.

Those are multiple volumes of long running series. The first book of Spice and Wolf is only 248 pages.

I don't get the point of light novels. There's not enough literary value to justify reading it over experiencing the story in anime/manga format. I guess it could get 5th graders into reading but 5th graders are not reading this crap.

Because they're cheaper and easier to make than drawing a manga or animating an anime?
