Gibt es Light Novels mit Shonen-artigen Geschichten – wie Naruto oder Bleach – aber im Light-Novel-Format? Ich weiß, dass es zu Owari no Seraph eine Light Novel gibt, die die Vorgeschichte erzählt. Gibt es noch andere?

Got the idea from the my previous post I made.

A lot of LN/manhwa/manga/anime I’ve seen tend to have overwhelmingly white-looking characters, especially in fantasy settings, and honestly I think it would get boring if every single character looked the same. I get it’s not out of racism and due to their lack of exposure to other races but I’d want to have a genuinely mixed cast, especially as someone who grow up around and had friends of multiple races and cultures, so something like 25% Black, 25% White, 25% Asian, 25% other/mixed backgrounds, give or take.
And part of it would just make sense because of the geography and history of my world. With how different regions have developed, migrated, interacted, and how certain events have shaped the world, it would actually feel less realistic to have a huge majority of the population be one particular race.
The characters wouldn’t exist just to fill a diversity quota either. They’d have their own personalities, cultures, backgrounds, relationships, etc., and some of those things might influence their characters, but their ethnicity wouldn’t be their entire identity.
The MC would happen to be Black, while other major characters could be White, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Arab, African, mixed, etc.
I’m curious though would you guys actually enjoy seeing something like that in a manga/light novel? Or would you prefer the cast to have a more uniform appearance like you see in most anime/manga?

Please give honest answers, I’m not judging anyone, I just want to gauge the average readers thought process and point of view.

I’m honestly intrigued at this question. I’m sure that people who read light novels during the first English boom in 2014 would be surprised if I told them that there are hundreds of titles in English now.

Gender bender (where the MC is originally a male) doesn't count. Having difficulties finding a LN like this...most usually either have super OP MC or have romance. I have already read:

- Ascendance of a Bookworm (best Isekai ever)

- A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even (pretty good read)

- From Villainess to Healer (dropped, 1st volume was pretty fun, but lost interest in the 2nd volume when a literal 7 year old became an adventurer and join MC's party)

Thanks in advance.

The whole class was summoned to another world by a goddess. The MC's rank was lower than his classmates', and he was thrown into a dungeon to die. It turned out his skills were OP—he could paralyze his targets and poison them to death. He swore revenge against the goddess.

Hello do guys know a novel where MC is from Murim or Martial Arts based world and then he died and transmigated to A World of Magic

### The Narrative Meteor Effect

**Narrative Meteor Effect** is a humorous term for a strangely common experience among people who read a lot of web novels.

The basic idea is:

> **The more invested you become in a novel, the more likely it seems that some completely unrelated disaster will suddenly happen to that novel.**

The "meteor" can be almost anything.

The translator suddenly disappears. The translation quality becomes terrible. The translation gets abandoned right before an important arc. The author goes on an indefinite hiatus. The novel gets deleted from the site. Copyright issues cause the novel to be taken down. The translation group disappears. The novel gets cancelled. Or you finally catch up to the raws only to discover that the author hasn't updated in months.

The important part is that the problem often seems to happen **after you've already become invested**.

And there is another side to the phenomenon: **dodging the meteor**.

Sometimes a reader gets bored with an arc, dislikes where the story is going, or notices that the translation quality is getting worse. They decide to put the novel aside and read something else.

Then, weeks or months later, they check back and discover that the novel they abandoned got hit by some major problem.

That's when the thought appears:

> **"Holy shit. I dodged the meteor."**

Obviously, this isn't meant to be taken literally. There is no evidence that someone's reading habits actually cause novels to get abandoned, deleted, or ruined. Web novels and translations are already vulnerable to things like copyright disputes, translator burnout, author hiatuses, platform changes, and other problems.

But when it happens repeatedly, it starts feeling suspicious.

Especially when some of the novels involved are ones the reader **really liked**.

Eventually, readers can develop a completely irrational superstition that becoming too invested in a novel somehow attracts disaster toward it.

This also creates the opposite problem. If a reader stops reading a novel because the current arc is boring or the translation has become bad, they might later discover that the novel was abandoned shortly afterward.

So the reader starts wondering:

> **"Did I just get bored, or did I subconsciously sense the incoming meteor?"**

The Narrative Meteor Effect can therefore be summarized as:

> **A novel becomes interesting → the reader becomes invested → something completely unrelated happens to the novel → the reader questions whether they somehow caused it.**

And if the reader drops the novel shortly before the disaster?

**They successfully dodged the meteor.** ☄️

At some point, the question stops being:

**"Is this novel good?"**

and becomes:

**"Will this novel survive me reading it?"** 💀

For those who read this series, Which one is better?

LN or WN?

I'm about to start this series, So Which Version should I read?

Almost finished reading volume 10 of D-genesis and every time I read it, I want to enter a time machine and fast forward twenty years so that there is like 30+ volumes for me to read, just like with bookworm!

I'm starving for some recommendations of stuff similar to D-genesis. What i'm really looking for is strong worldbuilding and preferably anything to do with economics, making money, etc.

Series i've already read and loved

Jobless Reincarnation

Bookworm

Conqueror of a dying kingdom

Imperial Reincarnation

Overlord

Saga of Tanya

Tearmoon Empire.

Spice and Wolf (Not finished prose is a little much at times for me.)

Series i've read

Campfire cooking

Cooking with wild game

Anything by FUNA ( I like their concepts but I really can't stand the writing)

Minmaxing TTRPG

Records of Wortenia

Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

So to preface this I've never made a discussion post before since most novels I read at least have one discussion thread open to share reactions and the like. Trials and tribulations unfortunately I think is a bit too niche since I couldn't find any of the sort for either of the volumes. After facing what is probably the cruelest 'descent into madness I've ever seen' I really had to at the very least share my state of despair publically with other readers. Hence the current post!

I'm referring to Volume 3 'Emperor, Father, Lunatic' and 'The price of Glory'. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I fell into a state of absolute shock and horror over these two chapters. The emperor is a sadistic cunt, and everyone in the empire can crash and burn for all I care!

Also I didn't see it coming, till the very end, until she pulled the trigger I.did.not.see.it.coming. I had to stop by the end and it took me a while to process my feelings after Ern blew her brains out. I was led on by the pied piper and was so confident in Ern's hopes and dreams for the future that I didn't think this was how it was going to end. Very very underrated series, I'm devastated but what an amazing series. And nah seriously fuck the house of magic- bunch of jealous cucks. If any one else has actually read the chapters I've referred do let me know how you felt (Please someone hold me)

I’ve been getting more into light novels recently and I’m looking for recommendations, especially stuff that’s more character-driven and psychological.
So far I’ve read:
Oregairu — finished the whole series and loved the character writing/internal narration
Makeine — caught up through Vol. 9
Wait for Me Yesterday in Spring — finished and really liked it
What I like most about LNs is being able to get really deep into a character’s head—their internal reasoning, contradictions, self-deception, relationships, flaws, etc. I especially like stories where the characters drive what happens rather than everything being driven by plot.
Romance is a big plus (preferably M/F), but I don’t want something that’s just pure fluff/sweetness. I like romance more when the characters and relationships have some actual psychological or emotional depth behind them. It doesn’t necessarily have to be super dark either.
I’m also completely fine with drama, slice of life, supernatural elements, mystery, or heavier subject matter. Mainly I just want well-written characters that I can really get invested in.
I’ve heard good things about 86 and I’m considering The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes since I liked Wait for Me Yesterday in Spring.

please recommend some novel with a MC that's willing to kill, doesn't matter if the MC is a man or a woman. It doesn't also matter if they're evil or hero. As long the MC kills the enemies. I'm tired of MC's letting criminals go.

Sorry, I literally don't remember anything about the story. I read it on Lunelle Translations and saved the link, but when I went back it was deleted. I only saw the letters in the link....

I only know that it wasn't too long and it was a sweet romance story. I particularly liked it. I saved it in the "second chance" folder so it should be about regression or something similar....

I think it was BL...

I don't have too much hope but it anyone has any idea, please help!
