Confession time: I didn't wanna use the word "trashy" but I couldn't find a catchier term. Just know that I actually mean self-indugent and not just "bad" also all this applies to the contents of the light novel, the text. The illustrations are very clearly fanservice lmao

My 12 year old actually likes Isekais, and it wasn't my genre preference for the most part unless it's The Cat Returns, or Sword Art Online, but I recently started Dr.Stone, and love that. It doesn't have excessive things other Isekais seem to? I'm open to suggestions on ones having little to no magic or harems, lol. Preferably ones I can watch with my kids, who I got into anime, ages 2-12. They like One Punch Man, MHA, and DBZ, as well as Bofuri, and things like that.
Why am i getting this recommended a year later😭
I am making a video essay about My Broken Mariko for my university assignment. I'm curious and watch your video to understand more what I am missing about the narration when reading it. Man, I gotta say, this analysis is like a purified slap of realisation on my face. Thank you so much for deeply making me empathize more with the manga. You are the best.
Fang yuan.
there is a really great webnovel called lord of the mysteries it is an issekai but trust me it's one of the best web/lightnovels i have ever read (and i'm not biased i read rezero taoru and other great novels) it has good worldbuilding intresting sidecharacters realy good fights and one of the most unique power system ever and did i mention that it has good world building? anyway the word building is so good the whole world has diferent cultures deep history i mean really deep history 5 epochs long each spanning thousands of years it has top tier writing too the first 20 chapters are focused on worldbuilding so dont get discouraged and please dont sleep on this masterpiece becauce its chinees and it wil get a donghua in summer 2025 and the trailers are looking really good
I already read the novel. I’m looking for the manga you know where I can find it and I heard they have it in English, but I don’t know if that’s true or not. But I cannot find the Manga anywhere.
Do recommend Revrand insanity I'd recommend it its one of the best
the first 15 or so volumes of classroom of the elite were so good i legit felt like i was on drugs from all the dopamine
Light novels are a gift from the heavens. They thoroughly satisfy my niche interests, though i've been running out these days... Perhaps it's time to write my own -w-
Good review. Thanks.
Found the manga, and will try the light novel. And found this video because I wanted to see if there was an anime for it. =) Also, glad that this is another great read to find. Light novels have always been something iffy in my view. But I think that was just me finding badly translated ones in the past. (Your Secrets of the Silent Witch Quickie was what brought me to your channel)
really happy to know my reviews have helped you find some cool stuff!
Short answer: yes Long answer: yes

Love your commentary! Wonder when you will get into webnovels😅 lol
"Why don't you write a book, huh? Go write a book. See if you can do it." Alright, bet. Release date: February 1st 2026.
looking foward to it 0_0
86- Eightysix LN anyone?
sweet!
hear me out guys, read lord of mysteries, thank me later
Yes, but only because Re:Zero is a LN 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
This got me into Apothecary Diaries...thank you
As someone who is writing his own novel, I thank you as this video made me change a few aspects of my novel, mostly I do my best to make sure it is entertaining to read, I try not to bore my audience with too much talking and facts.
before reading light novels i haven’t read anything else unless i was forced to for school. I started reading them after I picked up “villainess level 99” & reading it all in one sitting. I remember just how immersed I was reading it & I have read around 15 light novels since in the last 4 months. I love reading light novels
glad LNs have motivated you to read more!!
good video. loved it. 10/10. saving this for a rewatch when I forget all about it
lmao thank you I appreciate it a lot
yes. i read Lord of the mysteries and calling it a masterpiece is an understatement. (dont get discouraged that the first volume is really slow it gets better)
That's web novel
@ it’s basically the same thing
The first 30 chapters are painful to read with almost no interest. I got lucky because afterward, I chose to read Reverend Insanity.
@@l3gendtanki714 but like lotm is peak (I’m like over halfway with RI and it’s just as peak for diff reasons)
Peak
most LN are unredable trash, but there is quite a lot of em that are good, its just that they are only part of the 5%, its quite a lot to ask for someone to read something like 100 chapters to make up his mind, thats quite a investment, knowing full well how undigestible the tropes are
people seem to agree on this in general but idk I find the tropes fun most of the times tbh. I do agree about the time commitment but I think when it comes to reading you'll know if you like it solely based on the writing, not necessarily on how much you read.
@@akileaves2669 its solely due to the commitment, if there is such a low chance that your 2 to 3 days of investment wont be rewarded, barely anyone will give the time a day, because even the high rated light novels are mostly terrible, the gold ones are hard to come-by, it takes a lot of effort to find it, so i end up reading actual books or keep reading lord of the mysteries lol
but what if theres an LN Series that achieve both things. being a fun read, and actually being a good story. what people misunderstand about good stories is it doesn’t have to be that deep. it just needs some sort of message or voice. as you can tell from my bad engrish, english isn’t my first language but i’ve been living in japan for long enough to write manuscripts in japanese. i entered a dengeki bunko light novel contest this year actually. whether i’ve passed or not, the result comes in december. my minset when going through this was i wanted to write a story that actually has a meaning. i didnt want people who read my manuscript to feel like they didn’t earned anything out of it. but watching this lifted a lot of pressure off my back so thank you. but as a dude who loves storytelling in general(not just books), the just cram good/sick ideas and pray people would love it meantallity, doesn’t excuse bad writing
your english is good don't worry. also can you let me see that story you made. I'm trying to read it no joke
for professional writers I agree. but the added factor here is the consumer. if you're writing for an audience then i think the results are similar. if you think you wrote a great book you have to hope people think its great to sell it. If you write a fun book, you have to hope people find it fun to sell it. As a writer and lover of good literature myself I do appreciate authors that aspire to write amazing works, but I also respect authors that want to write something fun and easy.
I just jumped on the light novel train. So any reviews will be great help. :-)
this is so true actually and realized the same thing after reading my first one (three days of happiness) which idea is amazing and i must admit that its not a perfect one but just the feeling of the novel makes it a masterpiece for me. (also i know that its not technically a ln because it doesn't have any illustrations but same thing)
Should also be mentioned, that the light novels have a very solid translation. It doesn't feel translated, which makes it all the more enjoyable.
I love light novels, they are so fun to read. Good, bad, idc. I adore the content medium and have actually started working on my own series. It's a lot of fun to brainstorm ideas, get a general plot outline going, and just gave fun with it. However, writing well is actually really hard. There is a lot you must keep track of, and a lot of full grammar rules from school that you gotta forget. (E.G. every paragraph must have at minimum 4 sentences. | They do not, when it comes to creative writing.) I have alao learned a lot of keyboard commands for special characters that i never even knew existed-the Em Dash for example. "The Doll Princess" if anyone is interested.

Loved this video! I recently finished reading my first LN (Mushoku Tensei), and it left a gaping hole in my heart by its conclusion. Luckily I still got a a few more side stories to go before I truly have to say goodbye, but once I’m done, I’ll know what read next thanks to this video!
I'm thinking about reading the Light novels so are they good? Or should I wait for the anime? (Cause I am starting to see spoilers here and there like there is a rat which is very important in the coming arc idk how and something big related to Roxy might happen soon?) And if I do read the light novel, Should I start from Vol1 cause of the skipped content because I am completely invested and want to get the best experience..
@@HeavanlyTensei Why haven’t you read them already?! Of course you should read them! The anime cuts like 40-50% of the content in the LN! You should absolutely read it ASAP. Def before you hear more about the 🐀. I got spoiled on more important aspect of that before I read it, but it still shocked me. In my case, I binged all 26 vols in 3 weeks, one of the best decision of my life! There are also audiobooks up to vol23 so you can listen to those while or instead of reading if you want. Though I doubt you’ll stop after you get to the last audiobook lol.
@@doodlegame8704 yk what? This has made me quite excited so I'll start from Vol1 and I'll come back here to tell when I have finished the main story and side stories like redundancy etc Thanks for giving the push and hopefully Mushoku Tensei lives upto it's name
@@HeavanlyTensei Have fun! I actually just finished Redundancy and Oblige. Depending on when you finish reading, you may be able to read LN1 for Redundancy instead of the WN. But read at whatever pace works best for you!
What the hell the narration at the end was explendid. Very good video, I read re zero and the other day started spice and wolf. I like light novels they can read Soo quickly
thansks for the compliment! I actually thought maybe I overdid it with that narration so im glad someone liked it!!
Spent most of my life watching anime. Got hooked on manga in my early teen years to see stories I normally wouldn't and appreciate the differences the original has compared to it's future adaption. A few years later, I'm now in my light novel arc and I'm lovin' it. Strangely, I believe Tanya was one of the first I got! Read quite a lot of the first volume, but I got sick of the 'dry and descriptive' strategy and politics. I think I could've enjoyed spice and wolf as well, but I was put off by the American cover and got bored too. Wanna get back into it sometimes, though. The rest I really love! So I'm a Spider, So What? Mushoku tensei. Overlord. A certain magical index. (Got the massive old testament omnibus 😭 it's amazing). Re zero. Ascendance of a bookworm. Also getting into Shadow slave and will see the other big webnovels after it.
Finding someone who's read Torture Princess makes my day.
amazing LN!!! deserving of an amazing adaptation. maybe by someone like studio SHAFT
The only movel I read is Re Zero, and it's my fav series of all time now
You and me together
i've also read hyouka, it was pretty good, although there arent drawings, it's still a LN
I may finish lotm one day but now I'm into manga (on chap 5 btw I just blitzed trough it didn't even understand a thing in that 5 ch)
Thats a web novel and a manhua not a light novel and a manga.
read lord of the mysteries. it's amazing.
you should read webnovels too like shadow slave
Nah Rimuru is literally good guy. You can't consider killing in war and strengthening his kingsom be gray. By that logic Klein would be even more gray than rimuru, even though he is literally good guy. And even more someone like lelouch would be straight up evil by that logic.
I think it's fair to see Rimuru as a bad guy. Each person has their own perspective, and unless a world literally revolves around a single person, then the perspective of Rimuru or a fan of Rimuru is not the objectively correct one. So, a friend of a knight who died by Rimuru's actions would be morally fine to consider Rimuru as a bad guy. Of course, Rimuru isn't an objective evil, but he can't literally be a good guy for everyone. Although, I do consider Rimuru to be a fairly good person, it's just that... the amount of destruction he has caused is rarely befit of an innocent individual. But, I believe the main point of this video is that Isekai protagonists who are *selfish* are interesting. And a selfish good person can certainly do a lot of bad stuff.
@@acolyte1951 true enough but still rimuru kill only when he have to and he even revived so many enemies and there are lot more out there who kill slightly evil people while not being forced
@@peparozcidl8995 that's also true
Will you do a quickie on Re:Zero?
I might! i'll have to re-read some of it
@@akileaves2669 thanks!
rlly good video thank you
I like the title of this video but at the same time can't you say that to every single medium out there as long as you like the medium. If you like books there are many books that don't have the most complex story lines but are still enjoyable (something like legends & lattes). If you like Anime there are many different shows to scratch different niches for example JJK on a visual standpoint, K-on or Bocchi the Rock two series that just wouldn't work without the sound. And of course as the video mentioned there are Light Novel which are kinda an intermediate between Mangas and books and you can get some very unique stories out of them as they use more of a Japanese way of writing compare to the western/european style.
i agree! the title is mostly a response to the inherent vias manga and anime fans have against light novels
to be honest this story is way to politically heavy for me. don't get me wrong, i don't mind politic in isekai manga, and i do appreciate an isekai manga that was set in a more realistic and believable world like this one. where there is no level, or stats or skill. the world function like a realistic believable world, and not like a game, and there's actual consequence but, there is just to much politic. 90-95% of the manga is just politic, and that is not enough to keep me from staying. i just wish they mixed it up more. and to be honest, i think the manga is sooo politically heavy, i think the author should name it navigating political thorns in another world. becausr the manga is mostly about politic anyway.
Do you have any plans to continue making videos?
i do! waiting on a new pc because mine is kinda dusty now
@@akileaves2669 just asking cause a year is a long time, looking forward to it!
