Why are people reading trashy LNs instead of actual books?

Why are people reading trashy LNs instead of actual books?

Reminder that Twilight was sold as an LN when it was sold in Japan.

coz I want to see how the story continues

LNs are not anime or manga.

You can't do both?

That's because they are both "young adult fiction".

All LNs are trash. They're written like someone watched an anime and just wrote down what they saw on the screen. It's the most boring shit in the world

Spice and Wolf

Retardation I think
What books does Sup Forums read?
Last I read this
I am not spaniard btw

Jintai

Because the average american only has the reading capability of an 8th grader.

>no translation ever

Why are people watching trashy anime instead of films?

>he doesn't read both

That can't be real

Culture

I also liked Crichton, Clarke and Dick when I was younger. Probably others, but those three come off the top of my head.

It's real.

>Why are people instead of ?
Because fuck you.

because books are off-topic, just like your thread.

Are the LoGH books LNs?

I have managed to get through one or two light novels of franchises that I exceptionally like, your typical anime story is surprisingly dull in a pure literary format.

*all the volumes of two franchises.

Light novels are actual books, get over it.
Not like I read light novels but still.

Because I like trashy books, so LN fit right into my alley

No they are legit books

Twilight isn't any different than your typical shoujo romance story

>LNs are illegit

They are not "book" books
LNs are an evolutionary dead end between phamplets and books

They're LNs. Do your research. The volume formatting and mid chapter art is textbook light novel.

They're just Japanese chapbooks. They'll go the way of the dinosaur in Japan just as they did in the US with the decline of print publishing.

>decline of print publishing
But print publishing isn't dying user

Why are people so insecure about books? It seems like the vocal majority are unwilling to touch a title unless it's guaranteed to make them sound smart and cultured for having read it.
It's the same retarded story whether you read it on paper or watch moving doodles of it.

>your media must be *this* big to be considered a book

The worst part is that books are quite shit most of the time. People just wank them because it's the cultural legacy of several civilizations and you gotta respect the elders.

The same reason people "read" Chinese porno picture books and watch cartoons instead of reading actual books: books don't have enough sexy underage girls in a wish-fulfillment setting.

Makes sense. It is a trashy, niche romance book with a Mary Sue lead.

More like why are you EOPs reading shitty machine translations from Chinese machine translations?

How is this even a debate?

The answer is always "wish fulfilment".

People read books to be engaged. People read light novels to self insert as the main character and heart boner over the main girl.

Like learning a language from a dead country is worth any praise

>EOP

To find titles with potential before the mainstream audience.

日本語で呼んでもくそ内容が変わらない

Sometimes I wanna read something that's more detailed than a manga but is still demonstrably something from the same mindset of said manga

I can't even self insert when the MC is too retarded/edgy/lolsorandumb

おちんちん大好き

*読んで
imeが悪い

いや、どう考えてもお前のほうが悪い、Ｎ３くん

Don't forget boring. All those fucking WNs where chapter after chapter all we got is the MC doing management.

They don't have waifus

They aren't the lord of the rings, the only epic worth reading

>halfway through the first volume
>they're still talking about how green the shire is
>worth reading

>They don't have waifus

Will the "wish-fulfillment" meme go the way of "forced drama" one day?

This. No waifus or moe. Cuteness culture is exclusive to Japan.

I'm reading shitty manga and books of different quality. Also occasionally good manga. What's your point?

>Why are people watching trashy anime instead of films?
Movies are generally trash. they're like the shitty middle ground between a good book and a bloody stupid animu
