Sinking Ship posted:Haha, yea I know right? But it's up over on baka-tsuki and that's how the author is branding it because it's some sort of fan-translator hobby project as far as I can tell. Also format and content are light novel-ish ...but you're completely right which is why I wasn't 100% sure it was appropriate to post - a friend passed it to me without letting me know it was English original and it was up on bt so I just assumed... Just skimming the prose in that thing and I guess now I know what a novel written by someone who only consumes fan-translated light novels would look like, jeez.

Namtab posted:That's not a light novel then What about novels that are Japanese but neither light nor web Is it just me or is "web novel" a really cutesy way to avoid the stigma of being called a self-published novel

Namtab posted:There's still a stigma but people have no self awareness in tyool 2015 As someone who doesn't bother with it, the stuff that people wind up talking about come across to me like this hyper-focused, checklist-y sorta thing. For when regular ol genre stuff doesn't satisfy very specific needs, I guess.
