Well I really want to know this because I Finished a Mushoku Tensei

If you know mushoku Tensei It has a LN vol. up to 1-8 (if my memory serves me right)
and the Web Novel continues from there and it has actually Ended .

Well i also just stumble on some Forums and some said Overlord is originally a web novel and Albedo isn't there

Please Fellow Forum-san ENLIGHTEN ME !!!





P.S.

if Admin-sama sees something wrong here pls. kindly move it T.Y =)

Web novels are free online. Most isaekai novels that you see nowadays are originally WN like konosuba, mushoku, later published as LN. Mushoku LN is fully translated btw.

If you don't mind recommendation, try Mother of learning. It's basically an original light novel that has excellent world building and magic system like Mushoku tensei. That may help you for the MT wait.

You have an aversion for continuing LNs? XD It's really worth a shot though, one/two chap are released in a month.

Well try hakomari maybe.

WN is free online novels, LN is an officially published one and the author now has editors and may or may not add extra stuff to it.
I don't think mushoku tensei changed that much compared to the wn, while Overlord ln is almost completely different compared the wn.
Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? also has more details in the ln compared the wn,

WN = Web Novel

LN = Light Novel

That's just it.

Most WN become LN.

WB are free to read in syosetsu and LN are the published and edited for public reading.

I've actually tried reading Death March LN first and when I started read the WB novel version . . . there are tons of changes just in vol1. I actually understood the LN version better than the WB in my opinion.

But I do actually find web novels easier to read in my free time since it is usually short and in chunks. Once it a WB gets an LN version, it is edited to have the clean flow and there are scenario added . . . I dunno if it applies to all WB that got adapted to LN.

Not even remotely true. There are 394.5k novels just on syosetsu (and there are plenty of WNs that aren't hosted there as well). Less than 1% of these have LN versions.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.
