>there's no source
What are you implying? Not all popular light novels are self insert fantasies.
>it's a harem
>adapted from a light novel
>with a title longer than 7 words
>>141915581
Name 5 that aren't.

>the title is "i can't do shit so i asked this cute girl who is actually my boss and classmate to help me but she told me to do it by myself"
>>141916205
the sad part is that might aswell be a real title these days...

Not bad, funny and can't put it down for some reason but that's probably because I haven't read a decent LN or book in months.
>>141918698
Thanks for the recommendations. You were tricked!
reminder most light novels are romantic or power wish fulfillments
There are plenty of good LNs out there, but there's also a lot of demand for thinly-veiled knock-offs of popular series.
>>141919191
ha, got em!
All the ongoing LN's are shit.
The gems are finished .

Nah, the LoGH novels are too long to be LNs, even if the term had been in common use then.
>>141919301
WHy is that a bad thing?
>>141918570
I'm reading a short story collection by Neil Gaiman.
>>141919810
just a reminder
>>141919806
That's not what determines an LN. Horizon is an LN series.
>MC-Kun is not on the cover

LoGH stands for Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Holy shit anon is this a meme

Checked.
>>141920008
>>141920115
It's an example, retards. Horizon books are much longer than LoGH ones.
>>141919697
LoGH was an actual novel not an LN
neither was Crest/Banner of the starts
Slayers and Taylor were LNs though
>>141920232
I'm pretty sure Crest/Banner are.
>>141920201
Anyone who actually cares knows that Light Novel is just a term to generally refer to certain publishers. Its gotten that the impression of a light novel is its for kids with a bunch of girls on the cover and a bunch of dumb plot inside, when the truth is that if Kodansha publishes it its a Light Novel.
Lets face it though, /a/ only wants to talk about Overlord and the occasional LN they actually enjoy that someone is translating that they read on novelupdates. No one actually cares about LNs

I just don't understand Japanese people.
I mean, I was a teenager once, but I never remember thinking to myself
>You know, I want to read a book, but I sure don't want it to be a GOOD book.
The level of awfulness in the "best" light novels these days is literally unbelievable. I can't actually believe that people read these. I'm convinced it's all some sort of yakuza money laundering scheme.
>>141914931
>Source is light novel
>That's about a battle harem, video game rules world or reincarnation
There you go, fixed it. All of the ones that fall into that category are shit with horrible writing aimed at literal retards.
Remember, if you're an ESLfag who reads this kind of shit, and reads machine translation/animesuki spoilers to pretend you're not a secondary, you should kill yourself.
When did harems become so unberable? I don't remeber Love Hina or Tenshi being like this.
>>141919301
At least powerwish fullfilment advances on the plot.
>>141919908
not a light novel
>>141919885
I don't think Log Horizon is actually an LN. I know Yen Press sells it under its Light Novel imprint, but the Japanese publisher seems to refer to it as a regular novel.
>>141920504
>I don't remember Love Hina being shit
Love Hina was horrible, and the single worst thing to happen to manga.

I can't tell if you're joking because people thought he'd mixed up LoGH and Horizon, or if you're an actual retard.

That'd make for a decent premise some NEET literati believe Dengeki Bunko are co-conspirators with Yakuza.

What, he was talking about Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon? The original magazine serials weren't all that long, they're just bundled into huge bunkos so that the prologue wouldn't drag on into double-digit volumes.
