I am back. I am sorry, I have it hard, since I am a newbie with no confidence what so ever I would I have a question I like monster romance novels or, beast and prey romance is it okay I focus on creating fantasy romance light novels or novel to get me started. I have to get better anyways how you make a romance light novel?.
The main problem I am currently facing with my novels is creating the covers, especially in manga style. I can draw, but my skills are not there yet and lockdown run me a bit too dry to commission proper cover arts. Artbreeder is a life saver in many ways, but it's only good enough for creating young girl characters. I managed to create a half-good male lead face claim after a month of torture. And that's obviously not enough. And I have no less then five novels under production. Is there some advice for my situation?
that quote is soo amazing everyone who creates mangas and light novels wishes to live that life but that is ofcourse impossible so the next best thing is to make a story of someone who lived that life... that way u would feel like ur a part of it even if ur not physically in that world btw I have a webnovel/LN on wattpad called The Host Of Legends check it out 😁😁
@@huzaifaaamer9212 yeah i agree. For some reason, after watching this video. I might gonna think about writing a light novel from my previous Multimedia Assignments called designing your stationary back in the university that I studied in 2018.
I always have little stories that i imagine in the shower, or when going to sleep. So I tried webtoon, but i was too lazy to write a whole comic. So I went to my brother and asked him if Solo Leveling really was a book. And he said "yes, a light novel. It has pictures and stuff" so I searched up how to make a light novel and i found your channel, this was really helpful, and you def deserve more subs
My light novels usually hit around.. 5,500 words before I lose motivation, but.. this new one I'm making is really getting my attention, I just wanna work on it every day! I've hit 1,000 words on it just today since I started working on it 2 days ago and have about a 3-4 hour timing to write on it.
I think light novels are good for people who want to write their own story/build a Wattpad portofolio but they don't have much time to craft a highly planned proses or long paragraphs This is what I'm doing now. Rather than wasting my time too much browsing for the correct phrases and description, I'll just write the simplest thing first, do the editing here and there on the evening, and continue with my other activities. A chapter update is still a chapter update nonetheless :D
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Western shows and books more than ever, its just when I copy their styles part-by-part I will simply die thanks to endless self-judging :""
I completely agree!! I actually used to write fanfiction, because it helped me to drastically improve my writing. I felt like I didn't need to overedit or overthink, I just wrote a story, and saw how it went. I feel like I've gotten a lot better at writing because I wrote fanfiction. 😊 I think it's a good idea to focus more on doing the simple writing, because it's a great way to improve and just do it!!
My entire live I have been bookmarking little stories id create in my head. Until eventully I decided to start writing one. 8 months and 45 thousand words later, im still writing it
Found this to be very informative and helpful. Much of what you said about the audience, genre, the main character, and the way to show either the jokes or slang really has me looking back on some of what I wrote. Once again thank you 😊
I’ve just been playing around with writing light novels. My grammar sucks so I will never upload them, but this video is still very helpful. My biggest problems besides grammar is good names for characters and I loose interest in my own story once I get to the climax. I’m usually happy with my build ups but I get bored after that haha
You'd be surprised how quickly your grammar improves as you correct your own work. I have been using story writing as an English learning tool. In only about three months I can already see an unrecognizable difference in the quality of my writing.
It’s so true with me… I have been procrastinating my stories’ climaxes because I get bored. I love to create conflicts, between the main characters, but once the conflicts resolved, I lose interest 😭
Thank you so much. I want to be a writer/novelist but I want to gain more experience from writing light novels. Maybe then I can be more confident with my abilities and move on with novels. I'm subscribing.
I used to write poems and some short stories. Since Darling in the franxx might not get a second season... i want to write a light novel for everyone. I shared my ideas on reddit and got quite a few upvotes.
I just so happened to be going through videos on original English light novels and was watching your video when I was shocked and humbled to see you featured our website. Thank you for the mention! We'll share this video to our website members.
Wow thank you! It's rare to see a company that focuses on publishing light novels, so I thought it would be important to mention you in the video. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'd be very grateful if you shared it with your website members. Thank you again for watching! 😊
@@midnightXcross Should I start with visual novels, then light novels, then mangas do The Gremlin Duke sounds a great name for anime. I was thinking of having another name when making NFSW anime content and I always want to do coding but that's a weird order to do it. You think?...
im completely new to writing and ive been heavily inspired by series such as the emotional impact of Re:Zero and the careful and amazing worldbuilding of Moshoku tensei, i love how they introduce characters in a way that either makes you hate them, mistrust them, or like them right off the bat. And the amazing mysterious wonder of Made in Abyss and how it makes me feel so much for the characters. I know as a beginning writing i will never make a masterpiece from the start, but i hope with the help I've gotten from the writing community that i will eventually make something that is definitely not a masterpiece, but rather something that i am proud of.
This is a great introduction to light novel writing. I mean, the only things I ever wrote were some small Fallout fanfics and DnD campaigns and I don't have any formal training at all, but I want to take things up a notch and I didn't know where to start. I'm not a very good artist so comics and manga aren't for me, so I chose light novels as my next project. this is very informative as a first step. thank you for this video!
I am 18 i dont know that i have this talent but i litrally write 20000 words im a day without stop , my mind was just keep thinking and keep thinking , so i thought how about if i would really write a novel thats why i came to watch this video to learn what mistake i have made and how a professional writter write a novel , may be i will not become what i want but i wanna try
I've been repeating this video for so many weeks now, I have finally made one short light novel and im currently trying to make a one shot manga out of it
I have a list of story that i wanna write. But theres a ton of em. Because every second i spent in my entire life somehow gives me some inspiration that leads me to create a cool story. But i realize im no novelist. I dont know how to create a story. So this video helps me out so much. Thank you, i will wrote all the story that has been stuck on my head for years...
I have recently began planning a light novel with a friend... the entire idea sparked from a light novel title generator result. Definitely gonna be putting twists on tropes and stereotypes, because fun.
I recently watched your video and noticed that light novels are typically around 50,000 words. This was eye-opening because we've been working on a harem isekai light novel similar to "Konosuba," and have reached 256,492 words. We originally structured it into three volumes of about 100,000 words each. However, after watching your video, we realized that a shorter, more concise novel might be more engaging for our readers. Your video really helped us out a lot by highlighting this important aspect. Our novel is still in its first draft and features extensive world-building. The story primarily focuses on a few key locations, with the only time montage occurring in the first volume, which covers about a month of the main character learning to survive in the new world. This approach allows readers to deeply connect with the protagonist and the new world he's navigating. We prefer a detailed, slow-burning writing style, emphasizing character interactions to drive the plot. Even though our series is long, the pace remains steady with bursts of fast-paced action scenes to keep readers engaged. We're trying to streamline our writing process because we have so many different stories we want to write, and it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Balancing multiple projects while maintaining high-quality writing is a constant challenge. We have some of our stories posted on Wattpad, Scribblehub, and Webnovel, but it often feels like there aren't enough hours in the day to keep up. New ideas keep popping up constantly, adding to the challenge. Typically, we write in arcs, and once we finish an arc, we move on to the next story to avoid burnout. Right now, we're revising all our postings on Wattpad, Scribblehub, and Webnovel to improve them, with most of our reads coming from Scribblehub. We believe that constant improvement is key to maintaining reader interest and satisfaction. We stick to this format-Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Denouement-when we write our arcs, applying it thoughtfully to each story we create. This structure not only keeps our narratives well-paced but also ensures they are engaging from start to finish. Your insights have been incredibly valuable in refining our approach and truly making our stories better. Your video gave us some great ideas on how to enhance our work, and we are genuinely grateful for that guidance. Thank you for sharing your expertise and helping us improve our storytelling. Sorry for the long rant.
It sounds like you have a lot of really good ideas! I think it would make sense to release your series in shorter light novel style books. Within the isekai genre, I think it would really help to focus on the action in each volume. If you don't mind me asking, what is your series called? I would love to check it out on Wattpad!
Great video, I haven't seen anyone else going over the topic of English light novels. One think I would like to point out is that most novels (including light novels) are actually written in the third person. This is because is helps to clarify exactly what is happening and if feels smoother to the reader, and most people don't notice most books are written like this. As an example: "I've had enough, I can't take this anymore" Subaru gritted his teeth in frustration Reads better than "I've had enough, I can't take this anymore" I gritted my teeth in frustration Take a look at the last book you read (light novel or not) and you'll probably notice this. It's not universal but it is significantly more common to use third person
Thanks for this helpful video. I had story idea when I was in the bus and so I thought of writing a light novel. I don't have a title for it yet but it is a story about a family which is being attacked by an organisation. This organisation is after the female generation of the family for some secret reasons. The mother of 3 children (2 sons and one daughter) died because she was killed by the organisation. The father of them is the only family they have left. It is their task to protect the one girl and so that's the basic idea but it is much more than that. The past of the family, the founding of the organisation, their goals and why they need the female generation of this family will be revealed in the story step by step. It is a story about family, cohesion, love, secrets and inner darkness. Your video helped me so much, thanks to you. I hope I can publish this story in the future and also...sorry for my bad english haha. Greetings from germany Edit: I'm also sorry for the rough summary of my story idea but it is still in progress and I need more time to make a detailed plan of it
I like the mystery behind the dramas in your story. This sounds very entertaining! I really hope you do decide to create and publish this story, because it is certainly something I would love to read. All the best to your light novel!! 😁
This video is very helpful! I’ve always wanted to publish mangas, but I’m not really great in the comic storytelling style. I only discovered light novels were a thing within the last year, and I feel this style fits me so well. It allows me to create art and use my strengths of telling good stories and creating beautiful detailed illustrations.
I really wanted to make a light novel that have Cosmos, Time and Space, Mecha , History, Nihilism, and Human nature. I want them to mix and circulate them and make them connected to each other

I have been sitting on an idea for about a year now. I've explained the plot and the storyline to a few friends of mine, some who are Japanese and read Light Novels, and they all have told me to write it down. They tell me I have a great idea and that it is a great story. I finally decided that this is the year that I'm gonna try and work on it!

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation, I would really love to try to write stories, I'm not really good with drawing yet, therefore I might as well try other alternatives with less artwork involve 😅🙏
Thank you so much. I have always wanted to create my own LN, after reading a lot of them. I'll come back here after I've written something worthy enough for it to be called a masterpiece.
I came across this video because I can’t draw for shit but wanted to make a story that could possibly be made into a manga or even an anime. Glad to know that my lack of artistic ability isn’t completely holding me back.
Just had a dream and decided to make an animated series about it. However, I needed a storyboard, so I made a comic book. Unfortunately, I was terrible at drawing and wouldn't have the strength to do the whole book either. My only option was to write a Light Novel because I could add some of my best sketches and write the whole story first. I am no stranger to writing tons of lines, I do journal too. Finding this video was a blessing, and I thank you so much for these tips. Time to torture my keyboard and use it in a way I never did before. A thousand thanks.
I am 13 and watching anime , manga and light novels have inspired me and i want to try this job too . In future , I want to become a Very good author or a good mangaka and I'll make my dream come true .
i am starting my own light novel series and so i want to know how many words should be in a single chapter and how many chapters are in a single volume... I will show you the description of the online light novel :in a world were demons run a mock there is said to be the demon king or devil who is the ruler of the now demon infested earth and the humans now live in air colonies (cities that float in the air) the boy named homa who has forgotten everything about his past for being given the power to be the host for many legendary souls of the past by God, he goes to travel this world in order to defeat the demon king and find the truth about his past. i want to get feedback on this description, the name of this web novel is THE HOST OF LEGENDS on wattpad (still writing the first chapter). the story would include academic life, fights, even some corruption in the government which i am thinking about.... please send feedback and if possible even visiting the novel when the first chapter comes out nice video btw it really helped me out :)
Hello! When it comes to light novels, the words in a Chapter can vary. Instead, focus more on the overall word count. The overall word count for a light novel is about 50,000 words. However, the length of the chapters are more up to you. I would personally recommend having about 1000-3000 words per chapter, and about 18-20 chapters per book. Also, I love the sound of your story. It is really unique, and I love the idea that the main character can be the host of the various legendary souls. I will definitely check it out on Wattpad! 😊 I am so happy my video helped you! Thank you so much for watching. 💖 By the way, I am hoping to create more videos on Light novel writing in the future. Out of curiousity, what kind of light novel tutorial videos do you think you'd be interested in?
@@midnightXcross question i want to write an light novel and at some point make it a manga is that possible and also is wattpad a good place to publish my novel?
This was awesome. Really great info. I’ve been brainstorming with no intention of writing anything since 2016. Recently as a form of therapy for myself I started writing down all the ideas I had still with no real intentions. in the last month that has changed dramatically. At this point I’ve created several dozen characters and I’ve actually started writing what would be the first volume of this hypothetical series. I’m roughly 15k words in. I would love to have somewhat of a dialogue with you if you have the time and would be so kind. Maybe through email. Even reading a bit of my work so far to see if I’m on the right track if that’s something you’d be interested in after hearing the details. Thanks for uploading so much great content for me to check out and take care!
That's wonderful! I'm glad you're gaining so much new inspiration. If you ever want to contact me, you're welcome to send me an email: art@midnightxcross.com. As I'm currently working on my own projects, I can't give an indepth review. However, I would be happy to take a quick look at what you have so far and give some feedback or advice where I can. 😊
all i have to is to start writing because i have the story in my head for a year or so and i wanted to bring that story into reality, it´s an isekai and i´m not explaining the story because even the start of the story is WAY too long, i even made my own magic system and have a way of how magic works in that world and i´m satisfied with it, the story at first started like any other Isekai with being OP from the beginning but then when i realised that there´s too much of that i made it so the MC would train to get stronger, now i can compare the way of getting OP to Mushoku Tensei because i love that anime and i found similiarities in between my story and Mushoku Tensei. Now fingers crossed i get the job done and won´t be too lazy to do it like always.
I have a animated series script, about 80k words in. Working with an artist making character profiles. Then I realized how expensive it was going to be. Luckily I was in Barnes n nobles and picked up a light manga novel and now I’m here
im about to make an over powered character. cause Im bored. name: Lord Lloyd Knoll Westenra simple abilities: 1size manipulation-this skill allows him to change his size or any size or shape of any other organism/entity in existence. 2.pure ember- this move allows him to burn anything it does nt matter immortal or not. 3 pure darkness- this skill allows him to store anything he wants in an endless dimension this even implies to souls or even other people. 4 fates judgement- this allows him to judge fate its self this also allows him to change fate to what ever he wants. this move can also be used a counter to enemies as it allows him to change the fate this could lead to him even changing the fate of the birth of any enemy he encounters PASSIVE ABILITIES: 1 immortality- I do not need to explain this do I 2 infinite regeneration 3 dominating aura- this skill effects the enemy by shutting down the mind-what do i mean by this-if you come close to he can basically stop the mind form working this leads to lack of movement and leaving you as the enemy defense less. 4 indestructible- he can survive over infinite universes when they are imploding or even reality 5 anti control-this allows him not to ever be any mind control or be forced to to anything form anyone . hope you understand this explanation 6 omniscient- he knows everything lol HACKS ABILITIES 1 RAVA- this skill allows him to destroy anything he wishes from infinite universes to even reality. this skill can also be used in its higher skilled form: 1.5:Infinite RAVA: this is a higher skill that allows him to destroy an enemies body and soul and infinite amount of times. due to this the foe who will experience this will feel a SHIT TONNE OF PAIN FOR AN INIFINITE AMOUNT OF TIMES 2 DIMIOURGIA: this skill allows him to create anything for an unlimited amount of times this means that he can create an infinite amount of universes or even gods or to an extent of even making omni gods. 3 delete : HE CAN FUCKING DELETE YOU IF HE WANTED TO LOL- this is a weaker version of RAVA as this is just a fun way of him ending his enemies 5:vangistus- this is a skill that he made for no reason as he wanted to imprison the king of hell. this skill imprison the target and disables or there abilities 6Lactora- this is a form that he also made for no reason to cure his boredom as he uses this form to fight enemies he wanted he can break reality with on serous tap of his finger. 7liialdus- he can eat anything form mortals to gods or even omigods to even begins that transend that of space and time to even reality it self he can eat all MORE SHIT: 1transfiguration- he is able to change to who ever he pleases to or completely change the face or memories of the target 2 omniscient speed- this allows him to move at the speed of pure flex-oh he is also able to play pool with light it self 3 teleportation 4historical touch 5 mind control 6 skill cancel-able to cancel any ultimate skill he pleases 7 space and time manipulation. 8 30 dimensional ok so that's all my brain could think of rank this character with others idk
This is a wonderful video and it covers alot makes me wish i could make any kind of novel. I've written books and even fan fiction but I've never really posted anything or even tried to get out there and the 1 time I did find someone willing to edit things for me for cheap, they more or less told me I suxed and more or less. And they started rewriting my whole book and I didn't like that so ive kinda been trying to work up any courage to do anything since then... and about the only thing I have posted out there now is a fan fiction a short story of a show I like but I haven't checked in on it since I posted it to nervous to be talked down to again for my bad writing or ideas...
Don't ever worry about the negative thoughts of others. They just want to put you down. Always try focusing on doing things that make you happy. I for one would love to see what you create. With every negative person out there, there is always someone out there who will support you. 🙂 I bet your stories are fantastic!
I'm a new subscriber. I saw ur vids recommendations before I thought it was just a waste of time, and now I really really regret it. Your ways of explaining is soooo lit and easy to understand precise and on topic. Hope to see more of ur vids in the future. Sankyuuu in advance! Ma'ttane^^
I think I'm going to test the waters in light novels specifically isekai, I've never really had anything interest me as much as it. Anyways thanks so much for the tips, and i wish you much luck👍
ngl this is fantastic! you would make an excellent teacher. can you do a vid about the different parts of a story and how to create and organize them (eg scene, plot, action, etc.)???
Hey, m working on a light novel about the protagonist being some kind of a day dreamer. Such as living the world with half your heart in the irl world but still having the other half in a isekai imaginary world. m writing this for a friend of mine who kinda inspired me to write this. any suggestions?
Woah, that's really interesting! I've never heard of a topic like that. One idea for that I have, is that she might get glimpses of the real world and the other world. Maybe because of this, she learns about a danger that is about to happen in the real world. Maybe she can even switch between both worlds, and lives a double life in each of them! 😊
I've been debating about starting getting into manga but motivation issues and my own drawings got in the way. That being said, I heard it's good to first start off with light novels then work into manga creation, as ultimately I really want to not only bring my ideas to life but also hopefully get a anime adaptation. So I'm planning on trying to get into looking into and possibly get into making a light novel. Thanks for helping break it down! If anyone is curious or maybe would like to talk about a partnership, lmk. I'm also down to just chat, listen to ideas or tips. Heck, if anyone has any Light novel suggestions for me to check out, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for the guide i was planning to try writing a light novel about a character who despise god, dont get me wrong im not talking about our God but different. It's on my mind for a while now, imagining that cold and badass character beating up god so im planning to write it down, this guide is pretty helpful thanks
came up with the climax conclusion and the continuation while listening lol now i just... have to fill all of that in... ive made no progress in 8 months i got 50 pages but at least know most of the plot
I just want to write one light novel properly in my life. I even wrote half of the story in a way only I would understand properly. Genre: Romance, Drama, Ecchi, Slice of life, comedy. But the biggest problem is lack of my English written skills such as: Grammer, spelling, choosing the right word in right place, not describing the story in such a way readers find boring, knowing the appropriate english meaning of some stuffs, etc. In future I will definitely complete my story though It may won't be publishable. And If I manage to improve all my lacking in English LN writing I will definitely publish it for few years or even less. I don't know why I even wrote these words above. Anyway thanks for this video. Its really hard to find a video introducing all the stuffs about LN properly.
@@Reverendlnsanity umm. I've written almost 40% of the story. And I also have plans for 80% of the story. But now my exams are upcoming and I will be very busy for a whole year. For this reason I've stopped writing or even thinking about LN. But after my exams are over I plan to finish writing the entire story first then rewrite it in a LN format fixing grammar issues. Then publish it. Btw are you also writing LN?
@@Reverendlnsanity but you can have your English mistakes fixed by someone expert in English whom you know. Anyway best of luck for your LN. And plz add another reply to this threat once you have completed your LN.( its your choice tho). I'll do it too.
This is something I'm still fighting with, because I just can't figure out what would suit the best: But when writing in the first person, how to distinguish between personal-voice talking/the thoughts, and than when the first person is talking out loud? Also, which tense should I use - the past or the present (cuz generally, I find the past much easier to navigate than the present, but since it obviously depends on the story, what if the present tense is more suitable to the story, but much harder to write and read)?
A good video, but I have to point out that you don't have to introduce the main problem at first. The Japanese-style story telling was different compared to the main-stream western structure. In U.S. for example, you got central conflict where the main problem pushed the story onward. But the Japanese story used "Kishotenketsu" which meant a story without a central conflict. For example, in Batman, you got Joker's plot driving the main act as Batman entire focus was to mainly stop him. While in Konosuba, Tensura, or other Japanese stories you got no central conflict driving it. Instead, the conflict slowly appeared following the character as they travelled or journeyed throughout the world.

I think light novels are good for people who want to write their own story/build a Wattpad portofolio but they don't have much time to craft a highly planned proses or long paragraphs
This is what I'm doing now. Rather than wasting my time too much browsing for the correct phrases and description, I'll just write the simplest thing first, do the editing here and there on the evening, and continue with my other activities. A chapter update is still a chapter update nonetheless :D
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Western shows and books more than ever, its just when I copy their styles part-by-part I will simply die thanks to endless self-judging :""
I completely agree!! I actually used to write fanfiction, because it helped me to drastically improve my writing. I felt like I didn't need to overedit or overthink, I just wrote a story, and saw how it went. I feel like I've gotten a lot better at writing because I wrote fanfiction. 😊 I think it's a good idea to focus more on doing the simple writing, because it's a great way to improve and just do it!!
@@midnightXcross I think that is a really good idea, to write fanfics before you actually publish something.
Thanks for the tips!
I'll comeback when i create some interesting Light Novel.
Thank you so much!! 😊
So, how's it going? Made a light novel?
I think i should try it, despite its difficulties. By the way, i thank you for your guidances.
nice I am currently about to put out a series of my own once I have all the legal stuff done.
That's fantastic! I hope your series goes really well!! 😊
Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what legal stuff are you concerned with
Ooh what’s it gonna be called?
@@EmperorPyros Sorry I am so late in my response. By legal stuff I just meant getting copyright done and then waiting for my publisher to be ready.
@@agnihistoria7951 Ah I see, ok! I thought I'd missed something as I'm publishing a novel as well lol Thanks
ur smile and da way u talked just made it easier to take it all in, I might get called out a simp here but heck here take a compliment
My entire live I have been bookmarking little stories id create in my head. Until eventully I decided to start writing one. 8 months and 45 thousand words later, im still writing it
Found this to be very informative and helpful. Much of what you said about the audience, genre, the main character, and the way to show either the jokes or slang really has me looking back on some of what I wrote. Once again thank you 😊
I am really happy you found this video helpful! Thank you so much for watching 💖
@@midnightXcrosscan i ask u something?
I’ve just been playing around with writing light novels. My grammar sucks so I will never upload them, but this video is still very helpful. My biggest problems besides grammar is good names for characters and I loose interest in my own story once I get to the climax. I’m usually happy with my build ups but I get bored after that haha
You can try uploading in webnovel it's free anyway
You'd be surprised how quickly your grammar improves as you correct your own work. I have been using story writing as an English learning tool. In only about three months I can already see an unrecognizable difference in the quality of my writing.
you can use name generated ones.
you can always hire a proof reader on a gig site
It’s so true with me… I have been procrastinating my stories’ climaxes because I get bored.
I love to create conflicts, between the main characters, but once the conflicts resolved, I lose interest 😭
Thank you so much. I want to be a writer/novelist but I want to gain more experience from writing light novels. Maybe then I can be more confident with my abilities and move on with novels.
I'm subscribing.
I am so happy to hear that! I hope your light novel creating goes well. Thanks for joining and supporting my channel 💖💖
You get confidence when you write that’s the improvement

I used to write poems and some short stories. Since Darling in the franxx might not get a second season... i want to write a light novel for everyone. I shared my ideas on reddit and got quite a few upvotes.
I would love that!!
Yessss omg where can I read this! Wonderful idea, cheering for you bud.
I just so happened to be going through videos on original English light novels and was watching your video when I was shocked and humbled to see you featured our website. Thank you for the mention! We'll share this video to our website members.
Wow thank you! It's rare to see a company that focuses on publishing light novels, so I thought it would be important to mention you in the video. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'd be very grateful if you shared it with your website members. Thank you again for watching! 😊
It's a been a while I drawn anime and I guess I need to learn how to draw again.
Practice makes perfect! Though always remember to have fun with it too 😊
@@midnightXcross Should I start with visual novels, then light novels, then mangas do The Gremlin Duke sounds a great name for anime. I was thinking of having another name when making NFSW anime content and I always want to do coding but that's a weird order to do it. You think?...
im completely new to writing and ive been heavily inspired by series such as the emotional impact of Re:Zero and the careful and amazing worldbuilding of Moshoku tensei, i love how they introduce characters in a way that either makes you hate them, mistrust them, or like them right off the bat. And the amazing mysterious wonder of Made in Abyss and how it makes me feel so much for the characters. I know as a beginning writing i will never make a masterpiece from the start, but i hope with the help I've gotten from the writing community that i will eventually make something that is definitely not a masterpiece, but rather something that i am proud of.
I wish you all the best with your creative journey!! 😊
Amazing worldbuilding of mushoku tensei? What? How the hell does moshuko tensei have good worldbuilding, its generic.
@@user9999-zDid you even read it..?
@@4ytherium yes I did. what they said about Moshuko Tensei's worldbuilding, 90% of other animes/stories have, so its generic.
This is a great introduction to light novel writing. I mean, the only things I ever wrote were some small Fallout fanfics and DnD campaigns and I don't have any formal training at all, but I want to take things up a notch and I didn't know where to start. I'm not a very good artist so comics and manga aren't for me, so I chose light novels as my next project. this is very informative as a first step. thank you for this video!
sometimes when i imagine or dreaming i think of making stories but i forgot it easily
I am 18 i dont know that i have this talent but i litrally write 20000 words im a day without stop , my mind was just keep thinking and keep thinking , so i thought how about if i would really write a novel thats why i came to watch this video to learn what mistake i have made and how a professional writter write a novel , may be i will not become what i want but i wanna try
I've been repeating this video for so many weeks now, I have finally made one short light novel and im currently trying to make a one shot manga out of it
Thank you so much for watching! Congratulations for writing your first one shot light novel 😊🎉
I have a list of story that i wanna write. But theres a ton of em. Because every second i spent in my entire life somehow gives me some inspiration that leads me to create a cool story. But i realize im no novelist. I dont know how to create a story. So this video helps me out so much. Thank you, i will wrote all the story that has been stuck on my head for years...
damm same here gl on your journey
I have recently began planning a light novel with a friend... the entire idea sparked from a light novel title generator result.
Definitely gonna be putting twists on tropes and stereotypes, because fun.
Can I join?
I recently watched your video and noticed that light novels are typically around 50,000 words. This was eye-opening because we've been working on a harem isekai light novel similar to "Konosuba," and have reached 256,492 words. We originally structured it into three volumes of about 100,000 words each. However, after watching your video, we realized that a shorter, more concise novel might be more engaging for our readers. Your video really helped us out a lot by highlighting this important aspect.
Our novel is still in its first draft and features extensive world-building. The story primarily focuses on a few key locations, with the only time montage occurring in the first volume, which covers about a month of the main character learning to survive in the new world. This approach allows readers to deeply connect with the protagonist and the new world he's navigating.
We prefer a detailed, slow-burning writing style, emphasizing character interactions to drive the plot. Even though our series is long, the pace remains steady with bursts of fast-paced action scenes to keep readers engaged. We're trying to streamline our writing process because we have so many different stories we want to write, and it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Balancing multiple projects while maintaining high-quality writing is a constant challenge.
We have some of our stories posted on Wattpad, Scribblehub, and Webnovel, but it often feels like there aren't enough hours in the day to keep up. New ideas keep popping up constantly, adding to the challenge. Typically, we write in arcs, and once we finish an arc, we move on to the next story to avoid burnout. Right now, we're revising all our postings on Wattpad, Scribblehub, and Webnovel to improve them, with most of our reads coming from Scribblehub. We believe that constant improvement is key to maintaining reader interest and satisfaction.
We stick to this format-Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Denouement-when we write our arcs, applying it thoughtfully to each story we create. This structure not only keeps our narratives well-paced but also ensures they are engaging from start to finish. Your insights have been incredibly valuable in refining our approach and truly making our stories better. Your video gave us some great ideas on how to enhance our work, and we are genuinely grateful for that guidance. Thank you for sharing your expertise and helping us improve our storytelling.
Sorry for the long rant.
It sounds like you have a lot of really good ideas! I think it would make sense to release your series in shorter light novel style books. Within the isekai genre, I think it would really help to focus on the action in each volume. If you don't mind me asking, what is your series called? I would love to check it out on Wattpad!
Great video, I haven't seen anyone else going over the topic of English light novels. One think I would like to point out is that most novels (including light novels) are actually written in the third person. This is because is helps to clarify exactly what is happening and if feels smoother to the reader, and most people don't notice most books are written like this. As an example:
"I've had enough, I can't take this anymore"
Subaru gritted his teeth in frustration
Reads better than
"I've had enough, I can't take this anymore"
I gritted my teeth in frustration
Take a look at the last book you read (light novel or not) and you'll probably notice this. It's not universal but it is significantly more common to use third person
it comes down to preference. i personally like reading (and writing) in both third and first person, and my readers enjoy either format.
Thanks for this helpful video. I had story idea when I was in the bus and so I thought of writing a light novel.
I don't have a title for it yet but it is a story about a family which is being attacked by an organisation. This organisation is after the female generation of the family for some secret reasons. The mother of 3 children (2 sons and one daughter) died because she was killed by the organisation. The father of them is the only family they have left. It is their task to protect the one girl and so that's the basic idea but it is much more than that. The past of the family, the founding of the organisation, their goals and why they need the female generation of this family will be revealed in the story step by step. It is a story about family, cohesion, love, secrets and inner darkness.
Your video helped me so much, thanks to you. I hope I can publish this story in the future and also...sorry for my bad english haha.
Greetings from germany
Edit: I'm also sorry for the rough summary of my story idea but it is still in progress and I need more time to make a detailed plan of it
I like the mystery behind the dramas in your story. This sounds very entertaining! I really hope you do decide to create and publish this story, because it is certainly something I would love to read. All the best to your light novel!! 😁
This video is very helpful! I’ve always wanted to publish mangas, but I’m not really great in the comic storytelling style. I only discovered light novels were a thing within the last year, and I feel this style fits me so well. It allows me to create art and use my strengths of telling good stories and creating beautiful detailed illustrations.
Thank you so much!! I'm so happy that my video helped you 😊

I'll definitely suggest this video to anyone who want to write light novels.

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation, I would really love to try to write stories, I'm not really good with drawing yet, therefore I might as well try other alternatives with less artwork involve 😅🙏
might as well power thru it, i had two ideas but not really good at drawing. theirs days of motivation but lacking mentality
Thank you so much. I have always wanted to create my own LN, after reading a lot of them. I'll come back here after I've written something worthy enough for it to be called a masterpiece.
Hello, how's the work?
I was trying to make a samurai manga where swordsmen control nature energy but I gave up on it but Im thinking of starting again
I came across this video because I can’t draw for shit but wanted to make a story that could possibly be made into a manga or even an anime. Glad to know that my lack of artistic ability isn’t completely holding me back.
Just had a dream and decided to make an animated series about it. However, I needed a storyboard, so I made a comic book. Unfortunately, I was terrible at drawing and wouldn't have the strength to do the whole book either. My only option was to write a Light Novel because I could add some of my best sketches and write the whole story first. I am no stranger to writing tons of lines, I do journal too. Finding this video was a blessing, and I thank you so much for these tips. Time to torture my keyboard and use it in a way I never did before. A thousand thanks.
I am so glad that this video inspired you!! 😊 Thanks for watching, and I wish you all the best in creating your light novel.
Thank you so much Midnight-senpai!😍🎆
This gave me more and more pump up I want to continue to write📚
I am so pleased to hear that. Thanks for watching!! Have fun with your writing and manga creations 😁✨✨
Wow, you really know your stuff. I didn't feel overwhelmed as I took notes. You're a great teacher! Thank you! 🙏🏻✌🏼😄

I've written a light novel "The path of infinty" its currently pending on royal roads.
Your video helped a lot man.
Thanks!
I am 13 and watching anime , manga and light novels have inspired me and i want to try this job too . In future , I want to become a Very good author or a good mangaka and I'll make my dream come true .
So glad I found this channel.
i am starting my own light novel series and so i want to know how many words should be in a single chapter and how many chapters are in a single volume... I will show you the description of the online light novel :in a world were demons run a mock there is said to be the demon king or devil who is the ruler of the now demon infested earth and the humans now live in air colonies (cities that float in the air) the boy named homa who has forgotten everything about his past for being given the power to be the host for many legendary souls of the past by God, he goes to travel this world in order to defeat the demon king and find the truth about his past.
i want to get feedback on this description, the name of this web novel is THE HOST OF LEGENDS on wattpad (still writing the first chapter). the story would include academic life, fights, even some corruption in the government which i am thinking about.... please send feedback and if possible even visiting the novel when the first chapter comes out
nice video btw it really helped me out :)
Hello! When it comes to light novels, the words in a Chapter can vary. Instead, focus more on the overall word count. The overall word count for a light novel is about 50,000 words. However, the length of the chapters are more up to you. I would personally recommend having about 1000-3000 words per chapter, and about 18-20 chapters per book.
Also, I love the sound of your story. It is really unique, and I love the idea that the main character can be the host of the various legendary souls. I will definitely check it out on Wattpad! 😊
I am so happy my video helped you! Thank you so much for watching. 💖

ok that came on when i truly need this video thanks a lot
This was awesome. Really great info. I’ve been brainstorming with no intention of writing anything since 2016. Recently as a form of therapy for myself I started writing down all the ideas I had still with no real intentions. in the last month that has changed dramatically. At this point I’ve created several dozen characters and I’ve actually started writing what would be the first volume of this hypothetical series. I’m roughly 15k words in. I would love to have somewhat of a dialogue with you if you have the time and would be so kind. Maybe through email. Even reading a bit of my work so far to see if I’m on the right track if that’s something you’d be interested in after hearing the details. Thanks for uploading so much great content for me to check out and take care!
That's wonderful! I'm glad you're gaining so much new inspiration. If you ever want to contact me, you're welcome to send me an email: art@midnightxcross.com.
As I'm currently working on my own projects, I can't give an indepth review. However, I would be happy to take a quick look at what you have so far and give some feedback or advice where I can. 😊
Would you say it's okay to use the bunkobon format for English light novels?
all i have to is to start writing because i have the story in my head for a year or so and i wanted to bring that story into reality, it´s an isekai and i´m not explaining the story because even the start of the story is WAY too long, i even made my own magic system and have a way of how magic works in that world and i´m satisfied with it, the story at first started like any other Isekai with being OP from the beginning but then when i realised that there´s too much of that i made it so the MC would train to get stronger, now i can compare the way of getting OP to Mushoku Tensei because i love that anime and i found similiarities in between my story and Mushoku Tensei. Now fingers crossed i get the job done and won´t be too lazy to do it like always.
I have a animated series script, about 80k words in. Working with an artist making character profiles. Then I realized how expensive it was going to be. Luckily I was in Barnes n nobles and picked up a light manga novel and now I’m here
This video helped me understand everything. Thanks !!
I love the writing style of light novels although they aren't complex. But they are easy styles to use.
I'm kinda interested on making my ln, thanks this help me a lot!
Very late to the party but thanks for putting this together!
man i really want to write my own light novel. but im scared about writing it badly :/
im about to make an over powered character. cause Im bored.
name: Lord Lloyd Knoll Westenra
simple abilities:
1size manipulation-this skill allows him to change his size or any size or shape of any other organism/entity in existence.
2.pure ember- this move allows him to burn anything it does nt matter immortal or not.
3 pure darkness- this skill allows him to store anything he wants in an endless dimension
this even implies to souls or even other people.
4 fates judgement- this allows him to judge fate its self this also allows him to change fate to what ever he wants.
this move can also be used a counter to enemies as it allows him to change the fate this could lead to him even changing the fate of the birth of any enemy he encounters
PASSIVE ABILITIES:
1 immortality- I do not need to explain this do I
2 infinite regeneration
3 dominating aura- this skill effects the enemy by shutting down the mind-what do i mean by this-if you come close to he can basically stop the mind form working this leads to lack of movement and leaving you as the enemy defense less.
4 indestructible- he can survive over infinite universes when they are imploding or even reality
5 anti control-this allows him not to ever be any mind control or be forced to to anything form anyone . hope you understand this explanation
6 omniscient- he knows everything lol
HACKS ABILITIES
1 RAVA- this skill allows him to destroy anything he wishes from infinite universes to even reality. this skill can also be used in its higher skilled form:
1.5:Infinite RAVA: this is a higher skill that allows him to destroy an enemies body and soul and infinite amount of times. due to this the foe who will experience this will feel a SHIT TONNE OF PAIN FOR AN INIFINITE AMOUNT OF TIMES
2 DIMIOURGIA: this skill allows him to create anything for an unlimited amount of times this means that he can create an infinite amount of universes or even gods or to an extent of even making omni gods.
3 delete : HE CAN FUCKING DELETE YOU IF HE WANTED TO LOL- this is a weaker version of
RAVA as this is just a fun way of him ending his enemies
5:vangistus- this is a skill that he made for no reason as he wanted to imprison the king of hell. this skill imprison the target and disables or there abilities
6Lactora- this is a form that he also made for no reason to cure his boredom
as he uses this form to fight enemies he wanted he can break reality with on serous tap of his finger.
7liialdus- he can eat anything form mortals to gods or even omigods to even begins that transend that of space and time to even reality it self he can eat all
MORE SHIT:
1transfiguration- he is able to change to who ever he pleases to or completely change the face or memories of the target
2 omniscient speed- this allows him to move at the speed of pure flex-oh he is also able to play pool with light it self
3 teleportation
4historical touch
5 mind control
6 skill cancel-able to cancel any ultimate skill he pleases
7 space and time manipulation.
8 30 dimensional
ok so that's all my brain could think of rank this character with others idk
Great info. I have always wondered how light novels are written. Maybe I'll write one myself.
This is a wonderful video and it covers alot makes me wish i could make any kind of novel. I've written books and even fan fiction but I've never really posted anything or even tried to get out there and the 1 time I did find someone willing to edit things for me for cheap, they more or less told me I suxed and more or less. And they started rewriting my whole book and I didn't like that so ive kinda been trying to work up any courage to do anything since then... and about the only thing I have posted out there now is a fan fiction a short story of a show I like but I haven't checked in on it since I posted it to nervous to be talked down to again for my bad writing or ideas...
Don't ever worry about the negative thoughts of others. They just want to put you down. Always try focusing on doing things that make you happy. I for one would love to see what you create. With every negative person out there, there is always someone out there who will support you. 🙂 I bet your stories are fantastic!
Thank you, wonderful info on writing light novels. Thanks!

Mecha Mech
Assassin
Ghost writer
Hey, m working on a light novel about the protagonist being some kind of a day dreamer. Such as living the world with half your heart in the irl world but still having the other half in a isekai imaginary world.
m writing this for a friend of mine who kinda inspired me to write this.
any suggestions?
Woah, that's really interesting! I've never heard of a topic like that. One idea for that I have, is that she might get glimpses of the real world and the other world. Maybe because of this, she learns about a danger that is about to happen in the real world. Maybe she can even switch between both worlds, and lives a double life in each of them! 😊
I really like it nice thanks for guidance
I like your hair and your eyes, really fits the combination of your appearance.
Thanks for the tips
Thank you so much! 😊
I've been debating about starting getting into manga but motivation issues and my own drawings got in the way. That being said, I heard it's good to first start off with light novels then work into manga creation, as ultimately I really want to not only bring my ideas to life but also hopefully get a anime adaptation. So I'm planning on trying to get into looking into and possibly get into making a light novel. Thanks for helping break it down!
If anyone is curious or maybe would like to talk about a partnership, lmk. I'm also down to just chat, listen to ideas or tips. Heck, if anyone has any Light novel suggestions for me to check out, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for the guide i was planning to try writing a light novel about a character who despise god, dont get me wrong im not talking about our God but different. It's on my mind for a while now, imagining that cold and badass character beating up god so im planning to write it down, this guide is pretty helpful thanks
came up with the climax conclusion and the continuation while listening lol now i just... have to fill all of that in...
ive made no progress in 8 months i got 50 pages but at least know most of the plot
youre voice is ANGELIC!!!!!!!
Aw thank you! 🥺
Again a very satisfying & helpful video.....keep up the good work!!!👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and for your kind comments!! 😊
This helps so much thank you!
I just want to write one light novel properly in my life. I even wrote half of the story in a way only I would understand properly. Genre: Romance, Drama, Ecchi, Slice of life, comedy. But the biggest problem is lack of my English written skills such as: Grammer, spelling, choosing the right word in right place, not describing the story in such a way readers find boring, knowing the appropriate english meaning of some stuffs, etc. In future I will definitely complete my story though It may won't be publishable. And If I manage to improve all my lacking in English LN writing I will definitely publish it for few years or even less.
I don't know why I even wrote these words above. Anyway thanks for this video. Its really hard to find a video introducing all the stuffs about LN properly.
@@Reverendlnsanity umm. I've written almost 40% of the story. And I also have plans for 80% of the story. But now my exams are upcoming and I will be very busy for a whole year. For this reason I've stopped writing or even thinking about LN. But after my exams are over I plan to finish writing the entire story first then rewrite it in a LN format fixing grammar issues. Then publish it.
Btw are you also writing LN?
@@Reverendlnsanity but you can have your English mistakes fixed by someone expert in English whom you know.
Anyway best of luck for your LN. And plz add another reply to this threat once you have completed your LN.( its your choice tho). I'll do it too.
This is something I'm still fighting with, because I just can't figure out what would suit the best: But when writing in the first person, how to distinguish between personal-voice talking/the thoughts, and than when the first person is talking out loud? Also, which tense should I use - the past or the present (cuz generally, I find the past much easier to navigate than the present, but since it obviously depends on the story, what if the present tense is more suitable to the story, but much harder to write and read)?
A good video, but I have to point out that you don't have to introduce the main problem at first. The Japanese-style story telling was different compared to the main-stream western structure. In U.S. for example, you got central conflict where the main problem pushed the story onward. But the Japanese story used "Kishotenketsu" which meant a story without a central conflict. For example, in Batman, you got Joker's plot driving the main act as Batman entire focus was to mainly stop him. While in Konosuba, Tensura, or other Japanese stories you got no central conflict driving it. Instead, the conflict slowly appeared following the character as they travelled or journeyed throughout the world.
I have an idea for a fantasy light novel (magical girl inspired). I'm still working out the details, because what I came up with is quite complex 😅
Thank you mam, it was a great help for understanding it.😅
Thank you!
Actually my tip is read more manga about light novel or anime and then you need a light novel for inspiration on making a light manga story
