Why do people shit on LNs so much when they'll praise anime adaptations that completely ruin the original story?

Is it just a meme?

I think the people who shit on LNs aren't the same people who watch the shitty adaptations.
Light novels are the cancer killing anime, though.

LNs that get circle jerked by ESLfags here are invariably shit. Sometimes the anime can make it tolerable with nice art and voice acting. Everyone is sick of hearing "Well they butchered the adaptation by not adapting my animesuki spoilers 1:1, but trust me volume 8 will be awesome and this series is totally different." It's the same shit every fucking time.

Yeah, no. 4chan is obscure in the minds of most normies and most would rather watch an anime than go to a computer, install a program on a windows box and read for hours.

Anime are usually an improvement on LNs.

A lot of LN writers are upstart youngsters who got their young awards work turned into a series, and that rough gem is refined into something actually worth watching by a studio made of professionals.
The entry level for LNs is much lower than manga.
Also, while a manga needs to be a moderate ongoing success and have various appraised tankbons before being considered for an anime adaption, all a LN needs to be picked up is a couple volumes that did well in sales.

Take also into account that roughly half of a LN is made of scenery descriptions and inconsequential internal monologuing, so an anime is giving you only the good parts.
>>
Because these popular light novels are seemingly all bottom rung young adult fiction and it's propped up as something better and praised

People go crazy here for some cute girls, especially with a quirk or gimmick that takes off, and fluff so anime adaptions will get an easier ride. Most of these will be forgotten before they get scrutinized too hard anyway and the next season begins.
>>
>>141763580
Is your Japanese good enough to judge the quality of the original material? I don't understand how you can simply say that anime is an improvementon LNs when the anime adaptation leaves out so much.

Also
>This is how books work m8
Yeah, but a book will give you at least some modicum of entertainment, they're pleasurable to read if they're well written.

A LN's scenery description usually goes something like:
"The courtyard was empty. I could see two trees in front of me. It was sunny outside. What a nice day."

And this is the level of writing through the whole thing. Short bursts of incredibly short phrases, lapalissian statements ahoy, unnecessary internal monologue that always boils down to phrases that amount to "Well, the thing I just described happening sure is happening, uh".

It's like reading the fluff on an essay, like when you know you have to write 5 pages but you have nothing to fill them with, so you repeat yourself and use longer phrases to pad a single phrase of content into an entire page.

>>141763865
They're incredibly easy to read compared to a book, both in sentence structure and level of kanji used. They're written specifically to be targeted at middle and high schoolers looking for a simple and unchallenging read.
>>
>>141763865
Because they're light. They're too short to be called a novel.

>>141763939
Horizon is classified as a light novel, and each volume is like 700 pages.

Are LNs all serials or are there one shots that get made into anime?
>>
>>141763935
>They're incredibly easy to read compared to a book, both in sentence structure and level of kanji used

Fantasy/Sci-fi LNs use much more kanji than regular novels.
>>
>>141763482
It's because Light Novels today are mostly all about the author's chuunibyou and wish fulfillment.
What most people hate are the harem, battle academy combination and reincarnated to a fantasy world stories.

Especially those that uses an RPG's stat points. .

I've tried reading a variety of the shit that airs throughout the seasons. The prose is middle school level, the dialog is unnatural and the expository narration is just bad. Never mind the cliche characters and wish fulfillment plots that are painfully predictable.

>>141764013
There is some incredibly rare instances of stand-alones, but I can't name a single one that has been made into an anime.

>>141764031
Not in normal speech.
Not to mention, they're usually used at the start with a full explaination of what they mean, and they're all middle-school level kanji, just used in an unusual way.
Also, sentence structure remains at the characteristic LN-like simplicity.

>>141764075
The typical LN target audience may find that too difficult.
Remember that in Japan a 'difficult' book doesn't just mean big words, it may mean literally being unable to read it.

And the anime adaptations fulfill such high standards...

Get the fuck out of here.

yeah, english words are much easier since you can just search what it means on the internet, but for them, they can't search for it because they literally don't know how that kanji is written

>>
>>141764243
English or moon?
>>
>>141764166
No one said that.
It's just that an anime is typically less painful to sit through because the worst parts of a LN (scenery descriptions and internal monologue) are cut out of the anime, so it's a net improvement on the product.

It's never a masterpiece, but at least it can go from being a 3/10 to a 6/10.

>>141764205
You can easily search for kanji, but at a glance you wouldn't be able to know 100% for sure the reading or meaning.

Anything by Murakami
Phrases longer than an oration by Plato, esoteric kanji usage, and constant switching between internal and external narration
It's well written, but a nightmare for a non-native speaker

>>141764264
Like 70% of LNs targeted at girls follow a "Good girl falls in love with a bad boy and tries to mend him of his delinquent ways" plot.
The remaining 30% is reverse harems and yuri, which as a genre in its entirety is marketed only to girls.

They almost always have it, it's a staple of the genre
It's always 'pseudo-rape' though. Like, the girl will be getting on the boy's nerves, so he slams his hand on the wall she's standing against, holding her there, says a few choice words, then kisses her

And then an entire arc spanning like two volumes starts, all about the resulting internal drama "oh no he kiss-raped me even though I hate him! But DO I hate him???"

>>141764584
Like you'd know if you were actually trying to inform people in a thread made for discussing LNs, instead of trying to win a dick-swinging competition about whose Japanese is better, books are written and targeted towards a certain age, and will contain kanji appropriate for the grade the expected reader is in.

So while your average LN will only contain kanji a highschooler would know, an adult-oriented book will have a wider variety of them, and less common vocabulary used.

The "You should know them anyway" argument only works for foreign learners. A native Japanese person won't be able to read a 'normal' book as a young teen, even if it's "babby-tier" as you call it.

Besides, bake is hard to read only because Nisio hates punctuation and writes phrases that span an entire page.

>>141764850
>So it takes out character depth and adds in kawaii voices. Got it.

The "Character depth" that gets taken out is compromised entirely of self-referential statements that repeat what the narration already told you.
Plus, the unsufferable middle-school-tier writing doesn't help either.

>Please give some examples of this because I haven't encountered it at all.
What does giving you examples mean?
You can open any LN and see that the kanji used are just the partial jouyou kanji, plus the chuu and kougaku lists.

>>141764897
They're marketed to young people, but they're still normal books. The translation was made simpler to match the age target, as far as I know.

God this is so fucking accurate that it hurts. I keep trying to enjoy LN (hell, I learned Japanese so I could read them one day), but they are just so BAD. I have yet to find a single Japanese author that actually wrote stories that I could immerse in and enjoy. Have you encountered any?

>>141764205
Just for more info than the others gave, Microsoft IME has a "Drawpad" where you can write out a kanji that you don't know the reading for. You can also search by radicals on a site like Jisho.org

>>141764981
HP is targeted at the same kind of audience so it's a pretty logical thing to do. And personally, the writing wasn't particularly impressive and I wouldn't be surprised if it was considered an above average LN even with a faithful translation.

Talking about translations, I see that the Japanese remember some classics with translation titles.
Count of Monte Cristo is called Bunker King in Japanese or something.

>>141763117
Because I like to control the pacing of the story myself, instead of it being spoon fed to me.

>>141765120
It's just kanji that are not found in the jouyou and school lists.
I mean, it's just something you see in every page, it's not like you can point at one and say "See, this proves it's an adult book!"

>>141765266
They're also usually written with old versions of the kanji
Nowadays titles are mostly left the same though

It's something that permeates every page, like reading a book aimed at grade-schoolers and adult narration side to side.

It's not a great comparison, because there are LNs targeted at adults as well.
LNs are a format (serialized books of novella length) more than a hard genre, and the term has only really been in common use since the late 80s. Arguing about the exact definition is a great way to start a flame war on 2ch.
The last ten years has seen a rash of carbon-copy YA trash that's just angling for an an anime adaptation, so many people associate all LNs with that.

You're talking about a country filled with people who love nothing more than jerking off to their own culture. They are not going to throw away something so crucial to their national identity as their language.

The closest it will come is what we have now - English words being brought into Japanese and the majority of Japanese people studying English. As time passes the barriers will blur more and more. The use of our writing system in computers also pushes in this direction.

Why am I taking the bait...
>>
>>141775288

Frankly, anybody, even you can write a light novel. And then, the next year have a anime adaptation. That's why light novels nowadays are profitable, they read like scripts and the author want that quick-rich scheme.

Granted, some light novels like Gekkou, HakoMaria, Oregairu are great because they read like novels, you can easily pick them up and get absored. Although, that is own biasim talking.

LN threads should not be allowed on a Anime/Manga board.

Why can't these fags fuck off to /jp/ where they belong or at least piss off too /lit/?
>>
I dont like Light novel for the reason theyre not using the medium to its fullest potential

Ever noticed how there are classic books/literature but almost no classic comic books?

fuck off, child

>There are no generals for LNs
You're kidding, right?

LNs that earn adaptations get discussed, even those that get announced for an upcoming anime get discussed.

Take that shit to /jp/ otherwise, it has nothing to do with popularity.

I don't think you know what a light novel is, and I also think you're a retard who knows nothing about comics but somehow expects them to have the same number of classics as a medium that's been around for thousands of years longer.

Anime and manga belong in those boards as much as r/a/nobe does.

This is just dumb. We kicked VNs out, LNs deserve the same.

Kill yourself.

>>141775542
No. Just because youre writing for tweens/young adults doesnt excuse for bad writing
>>
>>141775394
Although these are classics I'd like to add Guin Saga, Legend Of The Galactic Heores, the Boogiepop series, so light novels are good in their own right.
>>
>>141775432
unless its for a currently airing show, LN and VN should not be on /a/. LN are not a visual medium.

This.

Webtoons and LN garbage have been allowed on here for some long it pisses me off with how it's blatantly ignoring the rules and mods won't do shit. You people will shit on /v/ related crap but allow this crap?
>>
>>141775622
What does that have to do with anything I said?

LNs aren't comic books, do you even speak English?

>we
Speak for your goddamn self.

LNs and VNs that earned adaptation usually get discusse within their respective threads.

I thought /jp/ was the most autistic of the weeaboo boards, but these latest posts here make me begin to question that belief...

>Speak for your goddamn self.
Yeah, I guess I should have been considerate of newfags like you who weren't here when we did it.

So you don't browse either enough to know the answer? Lurk more.

The best LN adaptations are the ones you dont suspect is based on an LN

Fuck off, cancer.

>>141775941
That's because you have built yourself a mental image that LN=terribly written fanfic/harem. It's just a fucking medium, only problem is that EOPs will never be able to experience any good LNs due to lack of accessibility as well as the garbage translators' lack of ability.
>>
>>141775788
No one wants fucking sourcefags to be banned from anime threads, you idiot, they want people talking about random unadapted LNs, or using "it has an anime!" as an excuse to discuss the LNs exclusively every day, to fuck off.
>>
>>141776064

LNs are bad, period.

There are exceptions, but LNs are still bad in the same way that blacks are stupid.

Gee, wonder if there is a connection.

Everything is bad in its overwhelming majority. That means jack shit. Anime's bad. Manga's bad. Movies are bad. Books are bad. And every other form of entertainment.

Korea did, although they arguably fucked up with Hangul. Lots of South East Asian countries also switched from Chinese or their own scripts to Latin.

The main problem for Japan would be Sino-Japanese words with all their homophones.

Manga board when?

There is no argument over this. Everyone likes Hangul.

Korean sounds like someone choking a Jew under the bed. Fucking garbage language beyond belief.

And as you said, the problem with Japanese is the very limited amount of sounds resulting in so many homophones.

These sound like quality novels.

I meant his translations are good.
Not the series.

>>141777302
I get you, but it's wasted effort if he only translates garbage. Looks like all the stuff I haven't heard of is from the Raildex and Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere authors.
>>
>>141776991
I just spent 6 months there. You get used to it for the most part and it's actually quite fun to speak. You can sound like a whiny bitch as an adult male and no one will look at you strangely.

I thought about doing the Western version of this, just cobble together a Twilight-esque story and make millions. Seems worth.
