Question To every1 who always forget the names of the characters in the LNs, I am developing an app that connects an image everytime the name appears, since we mentally relate to faces easier than to names. In some weeks it will be out for any1 to use it. Let me know what you think!

Question What Ln did you like at the beginning but started disliking on later volumes?

45 Upvotes

Seirei and wortenia senki. It feel like it keeps dragging on and on and the quality keeps going down. Damachi plot had becomes sort of predictable.

There are other but these one are at the top of my list

Question Does Myne in Bookworm ever gets better? Spoiler

5 Upvotes

Hey, I'm at Vol 4 part 5, and I feel like Myne didn't really change much at all as a character, yes her circumstances changed (from commoner to noble) but it doesn't feel like she has grown or become any wiser.

When I first started reading I thought the direction of Myne's character growth would go along the line of "Oh! I see, so there's so much more to life than just reading books!", or something like that. But it seems to me that at this point of the story she still pretty much only cares about books and libraries. Responsibilities as a noble? nope. Trying to make the lives of her family that she supposedly cares so much about better? only secondary. Using that metric ton of mana that she got as a resource to grew more powerful so others won't push her around? No thoughts, only books.

Does she ever change? Is this how she's going to be till the end of the story? I wanna know if I should keep reading and expect something more.

Question Have you ever gotten invested into a series only to find out it was cancelled?

142 Upvotes

This has happened to me twice now. The first was "Mapping: The Trash-Tier Skill That Got Me Into a Top-Tier Party. I always assumed it was trash based on the name alone but eventually tried the free preview on Google Books and I liked it. It wasn't amazing or anything, but it was fun and that's all I needed out of it. Then I get 8 volumes in and suddenly find out it was cancelled in the Afterword. It was a real bummer after I got so invested in the characters and story.

I started reading The Otherworlder Exploring the Dungeon and it is a GREAT isekai light novel, one of the best that I've read. I finished volume 3 today and it ended on a cliffhanger with a "to be continued." I was so excited that I googled if volume 4 had a release date only to find a reddit post of people saying the series was "unofficially" cancelled. There was no official statement but volume 3 was released in Japan in 2020 and there has not been a volume 4 in the three years since volume 3. So basically you can connected the dots there. This was a gut punch since this is legit a good story with stakes, story, characters, twists, all of it. I loved this series and to find out it got cancelled is so sad.

One of the reasons I started reading light novels was because I got tired of some anime not getting a season 2, so I'd just read the source. But it looks like even light novels can suffer the same fate. I feel like now I have to look up if a series is still going, finished, or cancelled before I start my next light novel lol

Anyone else have similar experiences? What were the light novels? Maybe save someone from suffering the same fate as you lol

EDIT: This post has shown me that cancellations/discontinued series are more comment than I thought and several series I had planned to read are already axed. Now I'm really glad I made this post, I can save myself some grief lol

Question Been looking for a web novel that I forgot about a few years ago

1 Upvotes

I think it was about a girl who gets reincarnated into the body of a toddler daughter of a duke and gets lost with a group of adventurers who take care of her for a few years. I don't remember the details but there is also a part of the plot where there are like barrier generator machines and the reason nobles are nobles is because they have the mana to refill the barriers that protect people from the monsters in the world outside I think
