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?

I just download .epub files and read them in ebook reader

Do you read untranslated? I just buy from booklive and sometimes jp kindle store.

Reading the Spice and Wolf LN on a tour bus in the mountains of Taroko, Taiwan will always be one of my favourite memories.

There is a Manga community on feddit.de as well if someone is interested

[–] CookieJarObserver@feddit.de -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] timkmz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
