So, almost everyone knows about Light Novel (i will wrote LN after this) right? LN is a short novel from Japan that has same atmosphere like Anime, Manga and Visual Novel. Some anime(s) are adapted from LN, for example : Date a Live and OreImo

And because it's lack of popularity and tons of text, many readers or Eng ---> Jap translator are lazy to translate LN(s), but it has many positive things too, For example : For those who watched the Highschool DxD first season, in the LN it's considered as the end of arc 1 and the end of vol 2 of the LN. But, right now, they already reached vol. 14 , and wow, it's same as the seventh season of the anime! ( or maybe 4 )

For the website where you can read those VN(s), I'm afraid that it might be against rules, so i won't post up about it before getting some confirmation.

Feel Free to discuss about VN(s) here!

EDIT : oh shi* i created another duplicate thread. t/74486

Might as well use this one instead.
Stickied.

On topic:

Anyone else frustrated at the slow pace of translations?

I highly suggest Crime and Punishment. It's written by a Russsian author named Dostoyevsky about the daily lives of a university student as he commits murder, the psychological description is one of the best out there, there is good symbolism, and the female protagonist is so uguu~.

Finished Gekkou and am on-going with Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance & Sayonara Piano Sonata.
Really good stuff :D

Also NH, do you know Js06?
He translated 2 volumes of Index in about 1 week or something lol
Literally is the fastest LN-translator on the net right now

If only he translated the LNs I'm following xD

Blade Dance is good. The initial plot reminded me too much of Infinite Stratos, but IMO it turned out better (sorry ampzz ;_;) with the plot development.

I would like to recommend Sword Art Online Light novel, Kokoro Connect is also good.

I've been reading quite some novels, including Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, Highschool DxD, Madan no Ou to Vanadis and Infinite Stratos. it's too bad the translations are coming out at a rather slow speed, but i guess this way i get to read a lot of LNs and clear some of my backlogs.

is this thread really worth being stickied?
blissfulyoshi
Since the number of people who actually read LNs are very few and the number of people who want to discuss them is even fewer, I would unsticky this.

Unless there is a serge in number of threads based on LNs (most of them are thrown in the anime's thread anyway), I think the sticky can wait for the day LNs become popular.

well, i think nope since not many ppl discuss about LN :P I'll leave the jugment to you guys

Also, one of reasons why LN TL is slow cuz that ppl are too lazy TL-ing it, since the amount of text are just too insane. That's why they prefer manga

i don't really see a need for the sticky, if the threads get more popular, maybe it can be put back :p
