I have already seen a manga community here, but I wonder if there’s a light novel community here already. Thanks!

EDIT: The manga community’s link is !manga@lemmy.ml

I’d love to see light novels, webtoons, manhwa… But with the current number of users, I believe more generalist communities work better than several specialized ones

So what generalist community does the light novel community belong to? /c/literature, /c/novels, /c/books?

Well on the website that shall not be named r/fantasy had LN discussions pretty often, and r/books occasionally. Isekai/fantasy LNs can go to whatever the new fantasy community is, the rest can go to c/books or stick around in c/anime i guess.

Technically there’s !lightnovels@lemmy.my but as @kadu@lemmy.world pointed out it’s probably a better idea at the start to dump everything into one community and then move as demand develops

Feel free to join: !lightnovels@lemmy.ml . It’s a bid lonely at the moment.

Yes I am, I only need a reliable source of novels. Legally or “otherwise” I just want some app that allows me to easily access light novels and that actually works.

BTW where the hell can I read the Haruhi novels?

What’s the situation like purchasing outside of Japan? I tried for decades to buy ebooks and neither Kobo nor Amazon would just let me give them my capitalist tokens as long as I didn’t have a Japanese payment card.

Just pirated the books eventually because it was literally easier than trying to pay them.

I have several LNs on my list. I’m currently rereading “Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka?” since the final volume releases on the 20th. It’s really good (don’t let the anime fool you). Highly recommend it.
