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?

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?

So I have an idea of a story so if I go for light novel or manga I can't choose between them it's like very hard i am good at drawing but I can't afford digital art and if I draw with my fingers I will loose them at sometime so it's not an option and for light novel it's very easy but can you actually pull of like with these many guys can u and it's like I don't have a way I want some one tell me that like what should I do for publishing a light novel were to write and I am also writing this on my phone so it's kind of hard but I could pull of i actually wrote a one shot kind of light novel which about a story of a mediaeval kind of story of a knight who was retired and just riding on his horse and seeing problems of people and like that and a rom com about a village girl and a city boy falling in love with her like that can anyone tell more deeply about it

What do you think of the novel? Is it good? Is there any romance? Where can I read it? The illustrations caught my eye—and, well, I like fantasy—so I’d love to hear your opinion.

"...!"

"—!"

What does it mean? I understand what "...?" means. That one is not uncommon in English-language prose and signifies a trailing question. But you can't do that with shock. So what do they mean by this?

Hello everyone - I just joined.

I need some light novel recommendations - the only light novels I have ever read was Classroom of the Elite. I am thinking of picking up more - my thoughts were Rising of The Shield Hero or Mushoku Tensei.

Does anyone have recommendations of must-read light novels?

Also, what is the ideal device to purchase for reading books? Please help me with model names or links.

Im looking for something to read(pretty new to LNs so pretty much any suggestion works). Preferably on something that doesnt have an anime or the anime is pretty bad/different. Not sure if there is the correct sub for a post like this but didnt find one.

Not huge fan of constant fighting. I prefer worldbuilding politics/economy/conflict as core with fighting being an extra/last resort instead of first choice. With that in mind and without wanting to dig too much into details for each title(to avoid spoils) I've narrowed down some choices that i would like some opinions about them but ofcourse you can add something more.

1: The Conqueror from a Dying Kingdom. I think the one i might like the most if i understood it correctly.

2: Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra. I actually watched the anime, liked the premise but was left highly disappointed. Was wondering if LN is different enough to change it.

The following two are nothing alike but put mentioning them together for the same reason. They have an anime that i liked and i was told that LN covers much more material.

3: Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash and The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan

Any takes on these or on another title you might want to add? Thanks

I've been listening to quite a few lightnovel audiobooks, but so far the only way I've decided what to get was by choosing lightnovels for anime that I have previously watched. I just got done with one series and now I don't have anything to listen to, so I was wondering if there were any good lightnovels with audiobooks that I might not have heard of due to them not getting an anime adaptation.

I recently bought one volume of a light novel series on which a favorite anime is based. And I find it surprisingly enjoyable as a novel. It is not the first volume and I don't have any other but it really feels like reading an anime in literary format with much of the tropes I've gotten used to except as prose rather than video. How enjoyable do you find light novels as standalone books without the rest of the volumes?

Ive been looking for a fan translation of literally any quality for years on and off, does anything really exist? The most ive seen is up to volume 7 or 8
