I have already seen a manga community here, but I wonder if there's a light novel community here already. Thanks!

EDIT: The manga community's link is [email protected]

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.

Feel free to join: [email protected] . It's a bid lonely at the moment.

Technically there's [email protected] but as @[email protected] pointed out it's probably a better idea at the start to dump everything into one community and then move as demand develops

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

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.

What's the situation like purchasing outside of Japan? I tried for decades to buy ebooks and neither Kobo nor Amazon would just let me give them my capitalist tokens as long as I didn't have a Japanese payment card.

Just pirated the books eventually because it was literally easier than trying to pay them.

Not living in Japan. My credit card works just fine (mastercard)

Nice. I will test it out on my next ebook shopping spree.
