Ang lungkot ng may hilig kang niche hobby and wala kang mapagkuwentuhan sa circle of friends mo. I love light novels but ny friends only love manga, manhwa, and anime. Well, I know that not everyone is into reading walls of text and I don't resent them for that but wala lang, malungkot lang HAHAHA wala akong ma-impart-an ng saya or reactions ko sa nabasa ko

Lol, just wait until their LN to manga/anime adaptations end and then they want more. That's what made me move from anime, to manga, and eventually a bit of light novels (but mostly web novels).

There's a few web novels that I started following because their manga/anime adaptations kept me wanting more.

Having said all that, I don't think I've really settled in. I tend to skim WN chapters rather than read them, and even after hundreds of WN chapters, I still have no idea what the hell has happened (other than a basic outline of the plot so far), or maybe that's just due to the quality of writing. That's why I tend to prefer manga: It has more content than anime, but still giving me a better mental picture of what's happening.

Some of the webnovels I'm following (but not religiously) are:

  • Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi
  • Isekai ni Otosareta… Jouka wa Kihon!
  • Shoushaman no Isekai Survival ~Zettai Hito to wa Tsurumanee~

Yeah yeah, that's what I hope happens. Na macurious sila sa daloy ng story that they start reading the novels. I pointed them to A Certain Magical Index and Classroom of the Elite as examples of brilliant light novel series that have crappy anime adaptations. One of my friends dived into one LN - That Time I Reincarnated As A Slime - but nothing more, nothing less. Well, I guess that's a win. Somehow.

Hahaha~ Yeeeep~ that's the gateway drug into LN, it's not for everybody tho.

I actually wanted to venture into LN back in the Haruhi Suzumiya craze, but nothing came out of that. It's probably one of the things that led me to self-studying Japanese though. The thought of reading the original LNs in their original language or sth.

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.
