Does anyone know how much does light novel author earn?
Mar 10, 2016 6:38 AM by Zapredon
If only Blade Dance didn't have many hiatus it would sold better. On the bright side the new illustrator is great.

I mean danmachi is not very similar to rokka no yuusha or is it?
By content i meant the Light Novel , its doesn't matter if the anime butchers a lot of stuff or adapts it perfectly, that alone won't boost sales.
The Content is the most important.

- Butchered and rushed LN adaptation like danmachi : best 2015 boost in several years for LN.
- most faithful LN adaptation in years with RnY the season right afterwards : the volumes already out never appeared in the oricon chart during the anime.

So good anime adaptations give huge LN boost while butchered ones like Bahamut don't even manage to get on the list on 2nd or 3rd week and never appear again, huh? You're taking notes, Japan? Never do AMA level adaptations again!
Anyway, it's great to see this series sell so well.

Its more like a Narou boom in LN instead of an Isekai boom.
We will probably get a lot of isekai anime in the coming years

The thing is, famitsu bunko is a "generalist" label that doesn't especially try to restrain itself in specific genre. I simply hope they don't start to "specialize" just because it's currently selling.
Mar 10, 2016 2:12 AM by Zefyris
Toaru Ossan sure did really well. Konosuba boost is going strong as well.
Expected to see Kenja No Mago somewhere up there. Was very popular on shousetsu, also recieved a rather early publication+The vol's kept selling like hotcakes.
Way more surprised with this one tbh: Himajin, Maou no Sugata de Isekai e Vol.1
The isekai masterplan can't be stopped any longer.

Famitsu bunko, what the hell are you guys doing... Or is that the konosuba's anime influence that makes peoples suddenly raise their interest toward isekai novels?

Kenja no Mago has been a fairly big seller from the start. And almost everyone has an isekai title or two somewhere on their lineup now. It's down to the buyers to determine which of those series then become big sellers.

what LN is this ? the NO.1 in that list ?
welp, kono suba still everywhere. i can see it clearly.
season 2 ? when ? LOL Explosion!!!
Granblue Fantasy i don't read it but i heard the LN is pretty good.
Edit: LOL that LN in No.1 list. i read the synopsis and the story is a little bit similiar with kono suba at the beginning XD
Vol.1: Orokamonogatari
Vol.2: Wazamonogatari
Vol.3: Nademonogatari
i hope this will get an anime adaptation someday :D

I don't normally comment on LN sales ranking because I generally think the medium is absolute garbage that I want little if any part of (though I have occasionally enjoyed some adaptations with more tolerable premises and characters that are completely insufferable) but I guess I actually do have an observation to make for once. Simply put it looks like there's slight confirmation here that you don't need a monstrous budget and advertising or big names to give a significant boost to a LN series and garner it more popularity. I don't profess to know much about KonoSuba but just from clips I've seen it strikes me that it didn't have a lot of major financial backing and doesn't seem to come from Dengeki either. In a time when doors are rapidly closing in terms of competition and what can get by in this industry and how I can't see it as a bad thing even if it's a light novel franchise making things happen with limited resources.
That's about all I have to say, that and stuff besides Light and Visual novels really ought to start figuring out how to make a financial impact in the industry and finding audiences interest again. Seems like a really tall order the way the fanbase is now, but not entirely impossible just yet.

The audience in general is totally hedonist and self-congratulatory. They're SO easy to please it's a shame. No wonder why ppl hates Otakus today more than ever.

Part of me wants an English version of the new Zero no Tsukaima novel, the other part hopes I never see nor hear anything not written by Yamaaguchi-sensei, rest his blessed writing gift.

I mean danmachi is not very similar to rokka no yuusha or is it?
By content i meant the Light Novel , its doesn't matter if the anime butchers a lot of stuff or adapts it perfectly, that alone won't boost sales.
The Content is the most important.
it's not similar indeed but in danmachi 's case they purposely butchered the part that wouldn't please anime watchers, extending the part that would please them, and rushed through content to avoid having them being annoyed by explanations more than 2 words long.
So this comes back pretty much to what I was saying before. Butcher stuff to appeal to the anime watcher : very good sales result. Be faithful including for stuff that won't appeal to it: poor sales result.
If they took note of the result from 2015,the future of faithful LN adaptation is grim.
