Are all Light novels this bad? I kinda got my interest Piqued after all the adaptations coming out recently so took a crack at Pic related and good god this is bad.
now, I read this for like 3 chapters or so and i actually liked how they handed the whole trapped in another world thing It might just be because I actually read books but i just couldnt handle how amateurish and simplistic it felt, its sorta given me a bad impression. Does it get any better? is there anything with more Substance?
>>112383683
it is a web light novel.
you are supposed to enjoy it's simplistic feel.
as far as light novels go, MT can be considered quite in depth.
if you did not enjoy MT, then that may be due to either personal preference, or a general distaste for the majority of japanese LN's.
these things cannot be helped.
on the bright side, if you do not like it, you do not need to read it. things will progress as they have whether or not you participate in reading MT.
I do have to admit though. Chapter 127 was fairly lackluster, given how extensive the previous focus was. I expected more, given the focus of chapter 127.
Light Novels General? Light Novels General!
Feel free to repost your favourite fanfiction-tier trash like you do in every LN General.
Pic related. It's my favourite fanfic of the year.
Now hesitating between finishing Chaika before the second season starts, reading Escape Speed or reading Money & Wisdom.

>>112384148
>>112383683
It's actually one of the better light novels out there.
Just let that sink in.
What was the LN with the Shield Hero called again? I wanted to look into it but forgot the title.
>>112384332
don't bother, it's shit
>>112384034
Honestly i think the problem may have just stemmed from the translation itself, it felt stilted and unnatural, something that Kills Dialog in most books.
I'd be more than willing to try out some with more substance in the Poise.
132 never
>>112384332
Have you tried googling that?
There's not a lot of series with a shield hero
>>112384332

>>112384383
Does he even know that we're up to him now? Im tempted to skip to 133 but I figure the last chapter in a volume probably has some very important stuff.

His last journal post was 6 hours ago, so he probably knows
>>112383683
>but i just couldnt handle how amateurish and simplistic it felt
Eh, I don't find it any more simplistic or amateurish than most of the other books I've read. Maybe if I was comparing it to some Stephen King books it'd be slightly inferior or something. Perhaps you've set the bar too high?

Funny, I was actually reading The Stand just a few minutes a go.
I guess im just not going into this with the right mindset, i didnt really know what to expect whenI started it.
>>112384590
I just hate how there's no acknowledgement of it. I feel so much better when I have a rough idea of when to expect it. That way I can choose whether to skim for a crappy summary and skip, keep refreshing every 15m, or go to sleep and hope it's there to greet me when I wake up.
>>112383683
>Does it get any better?
from chapter 3? of course
you can at least wait until the MC grows out of diapers
>>112384709
One thing to note is that a lot of the feeling and professionalism is lost when we fan translate from one language to another (or sometimes one language to another language to another language).
>>112384287
At least he knows how to capitalize random words.
Considering there are active threads about this, Is it actually good?
>>112383683
>>112384034
MT had its plot just meander around for two volumes. The main plot actually begins on Vol 3 while the first 2 volumes only set up everything. At least read the first 3 to 5 volumes before making any real judgements on MT.
>>112385199
Considering that there aren't that many other translated LNs out there that aren't the usual big names, no.
Either that or learn moonso you can see how awful most LNs are.
>>112385199
"This is super popular on /a/, I guess it must be good!"
You serious?
>>112385199
It's good in that we like it

do not believe quality is any more than that here.
I want to break Roxy through drugged gangrape.
>>112383683
>>112383683
I only read like 3 LN before this, the last one I read was Re:monster and it was good but this one blows that out of the water. It might be you have set your expectations high. I really liked how well the author did at writing some nice stories about Rudy being a baby and growing up.
>>112385199
I personally think Mushoku Tensei is one of the best LNs I've ever read. Characters develop. Powers develop. Relationships develop. MC isn't overly beta, isn't overly dense, still has weak points. People die. People have children. Your favorite girl probably wins. etc.
>>112385383
>3 LNs before this
Honestly the best light novel I've read has been Kino no Tabi. I love it's different worlds, dark atmosphere and strangeness.
>>112384056
Huh, those anons sure weren't kidding about the MC. I'm still only 3 chapters in though.And it's somewhat enjoyable.
>forever 68%
>>112384696
Thank you
>>112383683
>>112385199
It is usually called "one of the best wish fulfillment series"
But in all seriousness, yeah it's good, also it's not a LN it's a web novel (which makes the quality it has far less possible).
>>112385484
Sorry, I meant to add "I'm reading pic related." to the front of my post.
>>112383683
Read Arifureta and then come back to me.
Tell me about those Guilty Pleasures.
171 is out. Poor Luke, with all the OP people around him, he seems like the author's favorite punching bag.
I'm currently reading MT right now, but I noticed there is no more illustrations after volume 4. Is that because it is a web novel or something or did baka-tsuki just not add any.
>>112385425
I made it a rule to not read LN I only make exemptions for certain things,i only read this one because I heard MC actually has children with his harembut the overall story surprised me.
>>112385691
probably because only the first few volumes have been published as light novels so far
Tokyo Ravens is a nice read if you like heart attacks.
>>112385691
It's a web-novel, the published version is only up to vol 4.
>>112385691
Only the first 3 volumes are out as an LN. They have the cover picture for the fourth volume. However starting from volume 2 every translation uses the web-novel.
>>112385691
It's a web novel and the illustrations are coming with the official releases. vol.5 is going to be published soon, I'm hyped for more kishirika pics.
>>112385691
The LN isn't out yet, after volume 3 translations are web novel translations.
>>112385691
MT is a webnovel adapted into a LN. Being the crazy and glorious bastard he is, the author has decided not to take down the chapters he has on the website. What's more, he's still churning out 1 volume every month and releasing them on the site. I guess that's the difference between working for money and working because you enjoy it.
>>112385846
though he did demand that the translators don't translate past vol 20.
>>112385846
Oh shi-, I didn't know he was still releasing new web volumes. This makes my month even better. I thought I was going to have to wait until the LNs started catching up with the web novels before we got more volumes.
>>112385846
What's the authors name anyways, an anon mentioned in a past thread that he was a model or something?
>>112385925
No, that's the LMS author...
>>112385925

>>112385846
Thanks for answering kind /a/nons.
So another question before I move forward, is it implied at the end of volume 2 that Rudeus created the mana calamity and the subsequent mass teleportation? It seems a bit bizarre and random to be quite honest how a saint-level spell that was to make a storm created something totally different.
>>112385951
Why is he such a jew?
>>112383683
I enjoy books. I also enjoy light novels.
you can learn how to enjoy things for what they are intended for.
just because you like gourmet food, doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to enjoy a fast food burger too.
unless you're super fancy, but then I would question what a fancy guy like you is doing browsing /a/.
arifureta a shit though.
>>112385985He didn't.
>>112385985
It's not really implied, he just had a lot of bad luck
>>112385985
No, the spell and the phenomenon were unrelated. He just happened to be starting his spell when he noticed the disturbance.
>>112386008
He's just like Weed, anon.
>>112385985
That shit gets explained later on keep reading it's actually bigger thing than was first implied. I was surprised by how much it affected the world in later volumes.
I wish I could read LNs without stopping every 5 chapters or so. What do I do /a/?
>>112385484
Dude gets reincarnated into a girl? Does he just overtakes the body or something?
>>112386138
Keep wishing.
great settings
great characters
great momentsgreat harem
It's a webnovel translated by fan translators so the writing is going to be a bit stiff but otherwise, yeah, it's good.
>>112386189
The MC is a trap.
>>112385985
mana calamity was actually caused by farts.
there was a god who ate so many farts. Then one day, all the farts he ate suddenly burst out. there was a lighter present.
presto. magic ball of light and mana calamity and people got blown to different parts of the world due to magical flaming farts.
just read the story and stop asking questions. you're just asking to be spoilered. what kind of guy "who actually reads books," would ask for spoilers?
do you actually read books or ask people for summaries?
>>112385985
>>112386057
>>112386058
>>112386061
It was implied that he played a role in causing the calamity. For example, how he noted his mana was depleted in the beginning of volume 3. His mana was probably one of the factors that caused the teleportation. The true mastermind is still unknown.
>>112386244
It's a small point that was bugging me for a while. I don't like big spoilers, but I felt no harm in learning about this particular spoiler. I could read on but it's late and it is stuck on my mind right now so I wanted to know before I went to sleep, that's all.
>>112386313
You're just asking to get spoilered by people that read 130+ chapters, cool it and keep reading.
>>112386313
They explain it in the later volumes anon. You're trying to quickly to place the cause.

Honestly, you can't expect that much substance from LNs. I just read them because they're light reads and are mostly just fun to talk about. In terms of substance though, I would say that "When Hikaru was on Earth" is probably one of the better written ones, though it is extremely flowery. Overall though, I would say don't expect much but a fun read, if sometimes irritating one.
>>112387229

>>112386880

>>112387127
you didn't miss much, an anon in the previous thread basically summarized it.
Gisu is a bro, Roxy abest, Sylphie alove, and Zenith apotato.I want a doujin of Lilia NTR'ing Aisha with Rudeus, making her sit seiza while she is is made to receive instructions. Bonus points if Norun is there to tease her.
>>112387342
Wait what? Blade-Dance esque series with magic schools full of only woman are one of the most common LN types in existence. I can name 5-10 of them off the top of my head.
Overpowered protagonists in fantasy settings is also as common as hell.
Unless your favorite genre refers to contracting spirits or something. That's a bit harder.
Despite many cliche's I would recommend this just because in the first volume there is a mutual confession.
>>112387437
Personally I find the plot to be kind of shit. It gets nowhere and the author keeps introducing the stupidest things out of nowhere.

Pretty sure one of things that people are complaining about is that the author pretty much spells it out to you. Well it did surprise me at some points.
I don't understand how it "gets nowhere" can you explain? I don't see much development happen in other manga or LN. It's not perfect of course.

>>112387665
I just felt like the author just kept introducing more and more random plot developments out of nowhere. It went from "School for Agents" to "Battle against (pretty much) monsters with random bullshit powers" ridiculously quickly.
Also, their relationship hasn't really progressed that much and neither have the two characters actually developed that much.
Of course, I dropped thisafter the "This is not the end, only the beginning" note that the author gaveso I my opinion might not be 100% correct.

Don't worry, we still love you and you're doing god's work.

>>112387724
No, the LN is on a long hiatus too IIRC because the publishers went super-Jew and demanded the artist to do 100 illustrations in a month or something. It's probably possible to just scrape the webnovel off of narou using the wayback machine though.
>>112386655
but that's just LMS
Arifureta is my edge
>>112388218
Besides LNs almost always being better than the anime; the anime skipped over a couple of scenes.
>>112388245
But then I wouldn't have been able to read what happened after the anime ended. Also the LN you're translating is fucking deep-- you do a good job at still giving us the ability to read between the lines.
>>112386008
Because Koreans took the worst aspects from America (capitalism on crack + R&B culture), the worst aspects from Japan (corporate culture on crack), and combined them along with growing insecurities of China's growing power into what they proudly call Korean culture. Also they promote leg fetish which is a redeeming trait.

It's on the level of a child's fantasy novel, with young adult levels of "mature" content. It compares poorly with, say, Artemis Fowl or the Abhorsen Trilogy or anything by Diana Wynne Jones.
It's just... it's not really very good. It's pretty solid for fanfiction - translated fanfiction, at that - but that doesn't mean it's actually /good/.
>>112388521
I'm giving it somewhere in between 4-7 years.
>>112388511
You also forgot that Military otaku one wherein MC gets reincarnated with little magic but he uses his previous life's memory and made guns using the little magic he have. Now he have a firing squad that's also his harem.
Why does it always have to be "random useless guy dies and wakes up in world X as character Y", "random useless guy start playing a virtual reality game as character Y in world X" or something along those lines?
Why not just cut the crap and have the main character be a native of the world the LN is set in?

Seriously. When I looked at the update history I was so surprised. It's like with all our powers combined we form a sixth grade elementary school girl.
>>112389448
and it's still running on a fast rate
we keep clamoring for faster chapter updates, but yeah I'm impressed by the translators speed.
>>112389328
I've only read the first volume so far but I enjoyed it.
>>112389448
Is this the LN with the fastest translations?
>>112388187
THIS right here. I may have liked Strike the Blood, but Hidan no Aria can be compared to StB due to introducing a lot of concepts that feel like an excuse to introduce more girls.
>>112389679
No self respecting anon would own an deviantart account, so /a/ really can't claim much for how fast MT got translated.
>>112388593
Because it easier to relate with the MC, making the developments more interesting. By easier to relate, I don't mean as a self insert, but that your knowledge of the setting is on the same wavelength as the MC. whatever he's experiencing in the world is first time just like it is to you. It provokes the reader to have more thoughts like "What would I do if I am in MC's position?"
>>112389815
I'm sure. Even js06 has to spend two weeks for a volume of Index. But then again, he's also working on Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon.
>>112389921
Meh. Kaito's account is 11 years old. That's back before youtube. Having an account from back then isn't bad.
Also, I went through the trouble of copypasting kind anon's 128/129 to BT because why not.
>>112389004
>Samayou Shinki
Not entirely trueseeing as the MC was summoned into that world. Of course, he's pretty much a native now seeing as he was only a kid when he was summoned.
>>112389951
Someone is actually insane enough to translate Horizon?
>>112389387
Not anymore. It's fully translated now because it got axed after Vol 5I think.
>>112389336
yep even amongst children novels they're garbage
>>112390055
He's a machine who translates everything written by Kazuma Kamachi, Color Wars, and Owari no Chronicle and Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon by Minoru Kawakami.
Yep, he's a force to be reckoned with.
>>112390055
Js06.exe is also doing Owari no Chronicle and Zashiki Warashi.
And translates Hayate no Gotoku every week.
>>112390196
>>112390235
Is he being paid?
>BT threads are now being made regularly on /a/
Will it be the next sadpanda?
>>112390276
Signs point to no.
>>112390184
Not the anon you were responding to, but I actually kind of liked Garth Nix. Also, I'm fairly certain the Abhorsen is at least young adult, not children seeing as they have implied sex and stuff in there if I remember right.
Artemis Fowl is children's but I do agree that the series got progressively worse.
>>112390329
I would actually be really happy because that means we'd get professional translations I can just steal.
>>112388794
oh my.
>>112390329
It has already bent over when C&D notices got sent in. SAO and Shakugan no Shana were the two I remember but I'm sure there have been more that have been taken down.
Basically, whenever Yen Press or somebody decides to release the novel, you can kiss the translations goodbye.
Somebody should ask Vanant if it's alright to copypasta his stuff into BT as previews. I want to make volume 13 a pretty blue.
Has no one still posted the tranlslated chapters to BT for mushoku?
Lets let Vanant just skip working on those so he can focus on the other ones.
>>112390493
Fuck Viz for Shakugan no Shana.
But at least Yen Press still allowed New Testament Index to continue translations even though they picked up the 22 volumes of the Old Testament.
>>112390402
Not necessarily because it might take years for them to catch up to the LNs if at all. Some companies don't play catch-up and release translations at the same pace/slower than the release of the actual novels. Even then, it'll usually at least a couple of years until the entirety of an already unofficially translated novel becomes released by the translation companies.
>>112390538
That will cause drama and hurt his pride anon. There's quite a lot who hold on to the e-peen factor of translating.
>>112390538
>>112390626
But someone already posted 128 and 129 there
>>112390598
At three volumes per year, the 22-volume Index would be completely released by 2021.
>>112390626
Fuck vanant.
The rest of 130 is done. Sorry it took so long. I'll throw it up on BT in a couple hours.
>>112390538
>>112390702
Changing the registration part confused me. Maybe one of the other translations can do it properly for now but I just added stuff in parenthesis.
Kaito said maybe tomorrow for 132, but no guarantees.
>>112391022
Thank you kindly
>>112391022
?????
Did you already start working on 136 before? Or is it basically 0%?
>>112391022
Why wait? I thought you just had to text dump.
>>112391022
thank you
>>112391022
you made the world go round
>>112391159
Formatting on BT is weird or something. When I copypasta'd 128/129 earlier in order to obtain the same spacing I had to press enter in between every single line.
Thankfully for some reason that's something I'm insanely good at doing.
>>112391022
holy shit, thaks as always
This is why I love the series, after all the hype and excitement over 13 now we get to be excited for even more goddess loving next volume.
Maybe even 164 and 165 some day
>>112391152
just small segments I had done here and there and spoiler tagged a in threads few days ago.
Since it's early in the night for me, I'm gonna make proper headway on it right now though.
Hakomari is one of the greatest LN's of all time.
New volume when?
>>112391235
Back to adorable slice of life
>>112391275
You're doing god's work anon.
>>112391159
He wants to turn people into his dick craving sluts hungering for chapters. Truly a fiend.
>>112391306
A majority of people in these threads are essentially coke fiends anyway he doesn't have to do much.
>>112390196
>>112390235
I was so fucking happy when I heard that he started translated both OnC and Horizon. Given their size, I never expected anyone else to pick them up.
Would you Sylphy's lolibutt?
>>112391275
Nice. I look forward to enjoying your work.
I have a feeling by the end of tomorrow we're all going to be waiting on Vanant again. But this time for 138. (and 139, 140, 141, 142?)
>>112391380
>that thickness
Do these still counts as Light Novels?
>>112391380
Js06 is just a normal translator translating normal light novels anon.
>>112391380
I think a jp<->en dictionary is smaller than some of those volumes.
>>112391302
is someone working in Volume 14 I know 133 134 135 and 137 are done, but what about the other chapters?
Isn't js06 translating literally every Kamachi work? How much of a fanatic is he?
>>112391518
The rest have been claimed by vanant, which is why I want him to stop Translating 13 as his work there is finished.
>>112391576
We should have the kind anon who did 128/129 do 139/140/141/142 while we wait on Vanant to do 138.
>>112391456
>normancy
the most powerful magic known to man
anyone has a better 131
the one on the pastebin is horrible
>>112391541
Singlehandedly keeping hope alive until S3 is announced.
>>112391810
Eh? What do you find horrible about it?
>>112391772
Kind anon probably isn't coming back, or at the very least it's foolish to count on him.
>>112391576
Vanant just needs to clean and post 127 and 131 now, and Kaito needs to get to work on 132 and v13 is blue.
That untouched v15 is going to be interesting, 16 is touch-and-go, Awrya or whoever seems to be making steady progress on 17 and I don't even want to consider the reality of 18 and 19.
3 days should be the start of ch20.
Well, I think as long as we have at least one more active translator, we can probably come damn close to getting caught up by the end of september.
