@@ningenshot650 Why would you promote yourself soooo many times (I literally saw you like 20 times on different channels/videos) just to stop after 1 month lol. Keep grinding man
Pretty informative and engaging video. Nice choice of music as well, the volume of the music seemed a bit loud at times but that's just a small nitpick. Nice job!
I did have difficulty in adjusting the audio, I'll completely admit. That was one of my time-constraint problems and it didn't help that I was using a certain user-unfriendly editing software... I hope to get Sony Vegas sometime, but yeah I had to input the decibels manually and I'm just not good with that.
I wouldn't read much for fun if it weren't for LN like Index, Monogatari, Grimgar, Baccano, Oregairu and several more, therefor seeing this video kinda made me sentimental tbh. Anyway great video, it makes me happy to see people who are trying to get more people into LN.
Thank you, everyone. This video continues to gain views despite how old and flawed it is (see other comments) and I’m really glad. I even still gain subscribers! TL;DR - I haven’t found the drive to make videos in a long time. In the meanwhile though, I have been at twitter.com/MaturePurple and I have started streaming occasionally on my Twitch at twitch.tv/maturepurple so please, please follow those if you think about subscribing. I may come back someday, but I can’t tell you when or with what. Today I logged into this account for the first time in literally two years. I opened my watch history to find I had not watched anything on this account since 2018, back when I graduated high school. A few months ago, I graduated from university summa cum laude. It’s felt like an eternity, and it may as well have been-given the speed at which everything moves these days. One last thing! - The latest video on the channel is just a rant I made a while back. I know it made some people mad but I stick by what I said. When I first posted it, I ended up privating it because I was afraid the like-dislike ratio would ruin me (lol) but my best friend liked the video so my last act before leaving to focus on school was to make it public again. So yeah, hit me up on twitter!
Did you buy them? And if you did, were they in English, and how were the translations? The thing I'm worried about the most is buying a LN that has a bad translation 😅😅
Really great analogy on Harry Potter, at least for me. Personally never really liked reading fiction books. HP was the only one I really enjoyed. But not so long ago discovered such ln’s as monogatari and index (mostly because of their anime adaptions) which really got me into it.
I fell in love with LN 2 weeks ago and havent looked bacK! At fist i was aprehensive becuase i didnt have the time so i converted the books into audio novels and listened to them! Finished 26 volumes so far and I am absolutely obsessed with LN. I am on my 3rd series and I am not looking back! Anyways if this turns into a LN channel then you will have a longtime subscriber my friend!
Check out the link in the description to The Light Novel Podcast from Justus R Stone too if you're looking for more LN content (me and Mature Purple / Tom are both on that). Justus is a great follow as well, as he does Weekly Top Ten in Japan videos and Releases for the Month In America videos. =] - Terrence
I just got into them fairly recently and I really agree. The YA fiction connection is something I've thought about a lot and have tried to use to get some of my anime watching friends to at least try and make the plunge. Gave me some interesting sounding books to check out in the future as well!
I've seen across the internet that many pretentious writers/critics like to complain about the prose style of writing in light novels. Or the internal monologues of many protagonists across Light Novel series. Despite these criticisms I will always love light novels and this video reassures my stance.
I find the internal monologues to just straight up improve LNs compared to what critics believe "real books" are in this aspect. They're far more interesting and take advantage of the first person narrative voice better than most other books I've read (VNs also share this quality). IMO, some great examples are Nisioisin's novels. Those elitists can go be wrong and call some great stories "low art" somewhere else.
Absolutely great video, friend. As someone who only got into anime and manga in late 2020, I had no idea what light novels were until I started wandering why shows I liked had only one season. Then, I discovered them😂 I mainly buy from BookWalker and so far, I have really come to enjoy the medium. Thanks
Harry Potter was the only books I was really interested back when I was a child. Reading Index especially NT9 made me an LN lover. Seeing it as the thumbnail and a lot of images of it made me happy.
man this is just reminding me of how much I love Kemachis work on Index , and how I need to get my butt in gear with reading some other night novels I've been meaning to
Awesome content. Really satisfied with your take on the subject. I am a LN reader as well(I have been reading them for 4 years now). And to the viewers, you can read many LNs in novelplanet, novelupdates etc. Actually I have been working on a novel as well. It is called Godlings, and you can find it in royalroad. There are other amazing content in royalroad as well. Happy Reading.
Thank you. It is sad that I found yor video so late. I started reading LN after season 1 Overlord. I can't explain not even to myself how I found 86: Eighty Six LN....I read Vol 1 till 03:00am and O read it still. It os one of most underraited one. I am happy you have it on the list. I new why it is "light" so I am happy that someone explains it in such detail the fact and some without spoilers. I will check the podcast....
I probably read more light novels then western books just find the story’s and the way they written way more appealing… at the moment reading trought is it wrong to try pick up girls in a dungeon and loving it
I like light novels but I think they are often badly translated. Right now I use terrible Isekai light novels to practice Japanese, but I hope one day my jp will be good enough for me to confidently read the classics.
Idk if it counts as a ln but I loove Welcome to the N.H.K! My favorite serialized ln is Mushoku Tensei, I was fascinated with the series the entire time I read it! I agree lns are really good and I think people should give them a chance!
You make it sound like LNs aren't real books. And besides, even if you don't find much interest in domestic novels you probably read more than the general public does just by reading as a hobby. Take it in stride! Like what you like! Also thanks for watching!
@@cpupurple7035 Thanks for the reply. I never thought about it that way due to the stigma light novels tend to have. Maybe it's the pictures that make light novels look like they aren't "professional" enough.
Re zero vol. 1 is the second light novel I’ve read but my first was the original SAO light novel and it wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be but I under stand why people hate it.
So what I take from this is that the competition seems to be smaller than I thought, (I was thinking 10-20k authors, including ones who don't get published) and that Eromanga-Sensei was actually pretty accurate in depicting the relationships between authors. (minus the romance)
From your description, Re:Zero sounds like a Light Novel equivalent to the movie "The Edge Of Tomorrow", where Tom Cruise is stuck in a time-loop that resets every time he dies, but he keeps all of the knowledge he had before dying. I've never actually read or watched Re:Zero, solely because it sounds like an isekai-series, which really doesn't appeal to me. I might consider giving Re:Zero a shot, though, after hearing your brief analysis of it. Personally, I love reading Light Novels. I'm currently reading through the "A Certain Magical Index" series, and I'm definitely one of those people who reads the Afterword before reading the actual volume... Great series, though I find that the Science arcs are generally more interesting than the Magic arcs, solely because the Science side's power system makes a lot more sense to me than that of the Magic side...
Yeah in a way, its like Edge of Tomorrow but the charcters in Re:Zero grow over time too. After watching the directors cut of the first season of Re:Zero anime, I really think its worth reading...... I knew that Edge of tomorrow was adapted from a book BUT actually by checking wikipedia its adapted from a light novel : All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka!!!!! (didnt expect that)
@@venor2612 I finished Volume 10 (Second half of the Daihaseisai Arc) about a month ago, I think. I haven't started on Volume 11 (Queen's Fleet Arc) yet.
Anyone scrolling in the comments, if you like fantasy and sci-fi, you should try reading A Certain Magical Index. It has an advanced scientific city full of schools and espers, and the hidden occult world of magicians.

Thx sorry for the fat comment
Good video but...Harry Potter was by no means the beginning of more fantastical reads geared towards kids and young adults. It's just the phrase "young adult" when concerning BOOKS didn't exist until around the late 90s. There's Narnia. Charlie and the chocolate factory. Wizard of of. Alice in wonderland. Goosebumps. All way before HP. But having listened a second time I think you were trying to say it started the "young adult" writing craze which yes it certainly did. And thanks again this video is great for someone still very new to light novels.
Yeah, whether or not you agree with New Life+'s cancellation, it's hard to deny that it caused a big wreck with that controversy. That's why I put New Life+ there lol
Webnovel has a lot of them but being a subsidiary of tencent they only advertise their contracted authors and the contract is pretty much a slave contract.
If it Wasn't for COTE I wouldn't have even gotten into LNs. Now I can't go back since I've Ordered Volumes of 86 and I purchased The first 3 Volumes of 20th Century Boys Perfect edition which is manga but a Masterpiece is a Masterpiece..

Classroom of the Elite is a Masterpiece. When it comes to Light Novels I think COTE holds the most weight and has done more to popularize Light Novels in general. As an Anime it got some shine but was very niche. Light Novel outsold Demon slayer at one point but in terms of sales to prove the point it's 2nd most sold copies behind demon slayer. Yes RE zero is sooo popular and yet COTE puts that to shame. The next big one that imo will be big...I want to say COTE big will be "86". Since It has an anime adaptation that Masterclass will catch alot of people by surprise.
Been reading light novels for a while now, so far my favorite series is Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (that time I was reincarnated as a slime) First four novels are meh, then 5 6 and 7 are really good, 8 and 9 are decent, 10 is pretty good, 11 if fantastic, 12 is boring, and 13 - 16 fantastic.
So Light Novels are called -Light- Novels because they use as few kanji as possible. And they exist as a category because they tend to use the same pros?
