| I guess it was my curiosity about the source of an anime. |

Do you read any Chinese and Korean novels? or just Japanese? The top 10 most popular novels on Novelupdates (by how many people are in the reading list) #1 Against the Gods (China) #2 Tales of Demons and Gods (China) #3 I Shall Seal the Heavens (China) #4 Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyusoukyoku (WN) (Japan) #5 Desolate Era (China) #6 True Martial World (China) #7 Everyone Else is a Returnee (Korea) #8 Warlock of the Magus World (China) #9 Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu (Japan) #10 Dungeon Defense (Korea) So it's a mix between the three countries. |

| And I'm still in the process of learning how to read moon runes. |
 |
| I'm way too busy with reading all the manga & Japanese light novels - Korean or Chinese novels are not really popular/well known here. |
 |
| I've always read novels because I thought watching anime was too weeby. |
| The weird thing is, I can't quite get into light novel. I have a few at home, but they remained unfinished. I got into classic books, though. |

| I was reading tons of manga before I started to stream/download, cause internet services were shit during those days. I shifted more to anime when One Manga removed all content(that was a sucky time). I started reading lns (and then wns) in 2011 though. So mine was TV--->Manga--->Streaming/Downloading Anime + LNs and WNs. |
| Just reading this thread makes me realize how dorky we all are...... I don't really read LN and prefer watching anime. I was thinking of reading Tanya The Evil mayhe though. |

Refer my thread .. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1580016 I also disliked LN's a few months back but not anymore.. Try reading Tate no Yuusha or Re Zero .. Sometimes WN's are easier to read than LN's .. |
| Yeah that's generally how the process goes. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone that started with LNs and not an ime or manga. I don't read LNs so much anymore though. |

Try reading Tate no Yuusha or Re Zero .. Sometimes WN's are easier to read than LN's .. Interesting thread. Thank for sharing. I believe novels are more stimulating than manga because you use your imagination to play out the words written. If you have time, try a Chinese LN, it will open your eyes to a whole different world. It's very different from Western fantasy or Japanese fantasy. There is a reason why it has gained a lot of popularity in the last 2 years. These are some really good ones: True Martial World Martial World Desolate Era I Shall Seal the Heavens Heavenly Jewel Change Emperor's Domination Douluo Dalu Transcending The Nine Heavens Against the Gods World of Cultivation Tales of Demons and Gods A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality I know .. The top three novels on Novelupdates are chinese Novels xD .. Though I have never given them a try, I ll read them someday... Thanks for the recommendation though , But right now I have my hands full with Japanese novels .. |
| In what way can a pink be black, also I don't read LN nor Novel. |
| Kinda hard, I wanna get into reading more novels but don't have the time, tbh. I have a handful of WN's and LN's I'm caught up on, and very few chinese novels I'm reading as well. Me watching anime and reading manga also takes time from what could go to reading novels too lol Actually, I think I've fallen behind on the some of them >_> Maybe I should organize some time aside to read some novels. |

There is some really good Korean novels though especially these two: http://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-legendary-moonlight-sculptor/ http://www.novelupdates.com/series/dungeon-defense/ LMS is decent at best. I've read it but dropped it. As for Dungeon Defense, I hear some good things about it but right now my LN/WN backlog is simply too big to even give it a read. |
| That's cool and I hope they'll continue. We need more non-Western fantasy. Tolkien is everywhere and it's tiring. |

Chinese fantasy is very different from Western epic fantasy/Tolkien clones. As an avid fantasy reader, Chinese fantasy was a breath of fresh air. A very unique fantasy genre that is just as good as Western epic fantasy. Western Epic seems to be a decline. Any time I talk to fans about it, it's always about how detailed the world is and complexity complexity complexity. Then I read a non-Tolkienian fantasy - like Dunsany - and the result is beautiful without all these needless words. I wish we could think of fantasy outside of orcs and elves. |

| I found out about manga when one of my friends from an online anime community I had joined at that time told me about it and I downloaded some manga reading app (I don't remember the name) it had the options to search by genres, I started reading random manga and enjoyed most of them. As for LNs, my favorite anime series was adapted from an LN so I started reading it, but honesty, till this day I've only ever read 2 LNs. I don't read Chinese or Korean stuff at all because (1) I can't read the language and I don't trust fan-translation (2) Those names are really hard to remember @.@ I usually don't watch/read Japanese stuff where a lot of names are Chinese/Korean either unless they are easy to remember. |
| Interesting I've definitely been have a little more fun reading than watching anime which is crazy considering I hated reading. I'm gonna check some of these out. |

The fan translations are very well done by those who have knowledge of the language. It's like reading a normal fantasy book you buy on Amazon. As for names that are hard to remember, if you can remember Japanese names, Chinese and Korean names can be remembered too. It really depends on the translators and the series in question. I've come across some pretty bad ones, the fan translations for Kyo Kara Maoh to be specific and to top it all up with some tend to be extremely biased when it comes to series with possibility of some shipping, literally making arrows or writing as notes somewhere on the page that "omg! I knew it's canon" even though nothing romantic even happened and it's not even a romance series to begin with. Even when I used to read LNs on bakatsuki there would always be super annoying notes giving personal opinion as "official" and saying things like this is what the author actually intended or the author supports xyz pairing. And most importantly when I read the original LN, there were a lot of differences. So I literally don't know which should be trusted and which should not. I can't remember something which I can barely even pronounce or spell. |
