Why do they bother publishing fanfic-tier shit?
It's cheaper than hiring profesional authors. Light novels have never been literary masterpieces anyway.

Why do they not animate the rest of their shit? Instead they go straight for secondhand rights like Koe no katachi and Maidragon.

Their LN brand is not doing as well as they thought it would and they don't want to saturate the anime market with adaptations of their 1-2 successes
>>153462531
It's nice to mix things up with third-party successful novels.
For example, Koe no Katachi is officially their biggest selling movie and Maid Dragon has promising preorder numbers.
In short: Cha-CHING baby.
