Welcome to this "Welcome to Light Novel" page.

Everyone keep asking, what is Light Novel? What's the difference between standard novel and light novel?

Okay, here's some information from Wikipedia :

A light novel (ライトノベル raito noberu) is a style of Japanese novel primarily targeting middle and high school students (young adult demographic) "Light novel" is a wasei-eigo, or a Japanese term formed from words in the English language. Such short, light novels are often called ranobe (ラノベ) or LN in the West. They are typically not more than 40,000–50,000 words long (the shorter ones being equivalent to a novella in US publishing terms), rarely exceed 200 pages, often have dense publishing schedules, are usually published in bunkobon size, and are often illustrated. The text is often serialized in anthology magazines before collection in book form.

Or you can read the details at Wikipedia


Q : That image... It looks like a manga?
A : That's true...Here's an image of LN. It'll answer you curiosity.



Because I don't have any information about LN , I will add some details later.

My first post about LN is Sword Art Online, you can check it here.



Happy reading...
