I have already seen a manga community here, but I wonder if there’s a light novel community here already. Thanks!
EDIT: The manga community’s link is !manga@lemmy.ml
I’d love to see light novels, webtoons, manhwa… But with the current number of users, I believe more generalist communities work better than several specialized ones
So what generalist community does the light novel community belong to? /c/literature, /c/novels, /c/books?
Well on the website that shall not be named r/fantasy had LN discussions pretty often, and r/books occasionally. Isekai/fantasy LNs can go to whatever the new fantasy community is, the rest can go to c/books or stick around in c/anime i guess.
Technically there’s !lightnovels@lemmy.my but as @kadu@lemmy.world pointed out it’s probably a better idea at the start to dump everything into one community and then move as demand develops
Feel free to join: !lightnovels@lemmy.ml . It’s a bit lonely at the moment.
Yes I am, I only need a reliable source of novels. Legally or “otherwise” I just want some app that allows me to easily access light novels and that actually works.
BTW where the hell can I read the Haruhi novels?
I just download .epub files and read them in ebook reader
Do you read untranslated? I just buy from booklive and sometimes jp kindle store.
What’s the situation like purchasing outside of Japan? I tried for decades to buy ebooks and neither Kobo nor Amazon would just let me give them my capitalist tokens as long as I didn’t have a Japanese payment card.
Just pirated the books eventually because it was literally easier than trying to pay them.
Reading the Spice and Wolf LN on a tour bus in the mountains of Taroko, Taiwan will always be one of my favourite memories.
I have several LNs on my list. I’m currently rereading “Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka?” since the final volume releases on the 20th. It’s really good (don’t let the anime fool you). Highly recommend it.
Yep! Horrible isekai light novels are my guilty pleasure to read before sleeping. Admittedly, i haven’t read any recently. I don’t think there’s enough light novel readers on lemmy yet to create an **active **community though.
There is a Manga community on feddit.de as well if someone is interested
Ooh could you link it?
Just go to my profile, i made some post there recently (if i link it it opens but you aren’t logged in anymore)
Will do, but you can link so everyone from all instances can go there btw!
