It’s hard to believe that the generation that has been reading various things since long ago can easily accept web novels.

It’s not about the vulgarity issue; don’t you feel anything about the roughness of amateur writing?

>>13

There are probably some people who feel that it doesn’t seem intense, but rather feels old-fashioned when reading it now because it uses old expressions from that time.

>>13

If you’ve read amateur novels, you should be able to tell that just going through proofreading makes them quite decent.

>>10

Sentenced to read all works of professional writer Yusuke Yamada.

>>16

The introduction is new, but in the end, we’re doing the same thing as before, so it can’t be separated like in the thread image…

Even the silly and vulgar novels like SF have somehow come to be seen as part of culture.

It was easier before because the publisher would find the gems for me.

They’ve started picking up stones because they’ve run out of ideas.

If anything, isn’t this more of a stone than a ball…? It was in a state of mixed pearls and stones.

>>9

Aren’t we basically turning to stone, to the point where we can’t find any gold nuggets in the river?

To begin with, the origin of the word “novel” itself is…

That’s precisely because I’ve read various things that I can accept it.

If you put it that way, it’s referred to as the genre that’s popular on the Narou site, right? Narou-kei.

There are sci-fi, rom-com, and human dramas, but the most popular is just the fantasy with cheat abilities.

I think it has become considerably easier for me to find my own jewels.

If we’re talking about difficulty in reading, classical literature has its own challenges with its phrases and expressions that can be quite hard to read.

I think there’s quite a subtle line regarding whether there’s a significant difference between the published works of web novels and light novels before the rise of web novels.

There have always been countless subtle template works that follow trends.

>>20

That’s exactly something that those in business get on the trend.

The number of works released to the world simply increased dramatically starting from the web.

It’s not that it’s on Narou, it’s just a simple collection of amateur works…

When you think about it, comparing a amateur’s work to something published by professionals is outrageous.

It’s often said that web novels are a mixed bag, but whether they are stones or gems, I think it’s a good thing that various people can now bring their works to the market.

Well, to be honest, I think pure literature is easier to read than the recent light novels.

Rather than becoming a “Narou” (a term for web novels popular in Japan), even light novels suddenly assume things like reincarnation in another world or the granting of cheats, and I occasionally get hit by that.

>>26

That’s already a given.

This is a story about an ordinary high school second-year student who is just about anywhere.

>>45

It’s so much of a prerequisite for some that they can’t even imagine it, which gives them a headache.

“2025, Tokyo, Shinjuku, early morning…” or “This is a story from when I was a high school student in a rural area,” and when someone says, “One day I died and was reincarnated into the world of Game XX!” I can only respond that I don’t know what to say to that.

I can’t keep up with the vibe of “Isn’t isekai reincarnation common sense?” before immersing myself in the story…

>>60

Isn’t it simply a lack of intelligence?

>>60

If you can’t keep up with something, it’s okay not to force yourself to keep up.

>>66

So isn’t it a matter of being broken during the introduction?

>>72

I think it’s fine to break on your own accord.

I think it’s wrong to say “that’s just crap” outright.

>>60

You know that you can’t keep up yourself, right?

You’re just not able to catch up with the trend, right?

>>60

You can just avoid it since it’s all written in the title or the summary.

Jumping into a genre you have no interest in and criticizing it is quite reminiscent of an old crank.

>>45

Since ancient times, it has often been the case that the protagonist has special abilities, a past life, or obtains a mysterious item.

>>26

There was an aspect where they introduced that kind of writing style to try to attract Narou readers.

I’ve never seen it go well.

Is there a possibility of winning a literary award by starting with a format like Narou or exile stories?

>>27

Exiles have been a classic since the mythological era.

>>27

There’s a possibility, it’s not zero.

It’s not zero, but if I suddenly shout “I’m being granted a cheat!” I think I’d get kicked out.

In the first place, once it becomes a published book, it already has an editor, so at that point, it’s professional.

Do you think professionals are born as professionals?

Isn’t it simply that the boring works from the past have been forgotten, while the classic masterpieces are more interesting?

>>29

Well, I can only say that masterpieces are interesting.

I’ve come across the manga adaptation of a Narou original in advertisements, and I occasionally check it out, but it’s generally pretty interesting.

It seems like it’s been really carefully selected since it’s been made into a comic adaptation…

>>30

Yes, doubt.

>>35

Do you understand the meaning when you use it?

Speaking of which, it seems like there has been a significant decrease in discussions about past life destinies lately, with everyone focusing more on the next life.

I’ll check the level of this Narou thing! For now, I’ll go with the one at the top of the rankings… Hmm, I’ve read about five chapters, but the writing in light novels is definitely still more solid!

…But somehow I strangely want to read the next one… I wonder why… I had read up to the final chapter.

I recognize that “NAROU” is now a web medium that is easy to read in a horizontal format and can be quickly consumed in a short amount of time.

>>37

I think it’s quite lucky to have stumbled upon something like that without being selective in the detailed search.

There are several masterpieces that come to mind, like those involving otherworldly transfers or being exiled from one’s hometown, such as “The Twelve Kingdoms” and “The Beast Player.”

With the rise of Narou, it has been revealed that there are countless things that can only emerge in an environment where a large number of amateurs are experimenting, and existing communities without that are gradually becoming inferior by comparison, ultimately feeling like they lost purely due to a lack of power.

I loved web novels since I was a kid and thought I could enjoy them for a lifetime, but when I turned 20, my body suddenly couldn’t handle them anymore, and I became hopeless about my life since then.

When reading on the site, you can tell that the published version has a refined writing style.

Before anything else, such as interest…

In the first place, even professional writers are flowing into web novels, but do you not know that?

You don’t know…

>>44

There are many writers on Narou who haven’t sold anything in the end, so it’s natural not to know them.

Of course, there are people who are selling well.

Old worthless works have not been passed down to modern times…

I want to try reading old trash.

No, actually it’s fine.

In the past, light novels that didn’t sell would quickly be canceled after volumes 1 or 2, and they would disappear from bookstores soon after, making it hard for them to leave a lasting impression.

When I was younger, the noisy old people weren’t just nitpicking on youth culture because they disliked it.

“They were saying, ‘Our era is truly the best, and today’s young people are pitiful.'”

When I see people who have become burdensome in this era, it is very clear.

I think 99% of the sales of the first volume of old light novels were due to the illustrations…

Aren’t you thinking of focusing on serious activities instead of getting lost in the soft-core novels on Narou?

>>5

Aren’t they just gradually decreasing?

It’s not limited to novels, but…

“Culture that I can’t understand” → “Uninteresting culture” → “Worthless, lowbrow, and foolish” often leads to this mindset, so be careful.

Certainly, a hair nude won’t stand out.

It has to be smooth, right…

Reading Higashino Keigo makes you feel that it’s written with the premise of being adapted into a visual format…

“There is a kind of arrogance that goes, ‘Only I understand what true goodness is.'”

Not being able to understand that “it’s all about that now” means “that’s more normal now” is simply a sign of being stupid.

“Why can’t they just stop at ‘it’s not for me’ instead of feeling the need to insult it so harshly?”

“Are you seeking agreement with ‘This is crap, right? Right?'”

It’s because it’s interesting that the plot gets imitated and becomes a classic.

Isn’t hair nude more exciting?

>>64

Well, it might be more exciting than a serious salaryman starting to live with a loli and becoming a bitch, awakening to NTR.

I’ve heard that it was said during the Meiji era that reading novels would make you foolish.

More than pure literature that ends simply in a paperback.

I have a hard time picking up light novels because I have the impression that they go on for a long time with multiple volumes.

That said, not all general novels start with detailed explanations like a locked-room murder in a mystery or a cursed village in horror… I don’t mind because I already know.

I’m somewhat getting fed up with it.

It’s not just that the developments are similar; they have become so templated that it makes digging out a gem from among them quite challenging.

People who like things like Narou, J-POP, and dramas seem to be not very smart.

You should acquire more knowledge through anime, erotic games, and lolicon.

>>75

Hello, police?

You don’t like it when everyone is having a great time over something you can’t understand, do you?

Just say it honestly.

It’s easy to advance the story with a common understanding because it complements the information with the knowledge that the reader already knows.

If the situation is completely unfamiliar, the readers have to be installed with the world setting, which raises the hurdle.

The sword mountain is sharp! It’s the same as not being able to use a standard phrase without installing the appropriate context.

No professional has been able to create a setting better than that of another world.

Reading literature hailed as masterpieces is less likely to lead to disappointment.

Readers who continue to search for hits among the mixed quality of light novels and Narou are seriously doing their best.

There are people who tend to seek meaning in entertainment for some reason.

If you seek results that much, you might as well read some research papers.

If you’re seeking meaning in entertainment, then you should just stop using the bulletin board.

Don’t escape from Chinese characters just because it’s a novel.

I think that setting the stage in modern Japan requires the least explanation and is the easiest to understand…

Before light novels, it was cell phone novels like “Narou” that were popular for sweets (laughs).

If that becomes the standard, there will be some that can’t keep up.

Otherwise (laughs), it wouldn’t be treated that way.

It was me who compared Narou to mobile novels here.

>>88

Then why are you talking as if it’s assumed that I’m treated as someone who will become a part of society here? (laughs)

I think it would be better to reconsider your own thoughts before discussing literature.

Isn’t the tag system of Narou (or rather, web novel sites) amazing?

Many people say they don’t like this element!

When asked if old masterpieces are interesting, there are definitely some that are just plain painful to read, so unless you’re interested in the customs of the time, I think it’s fine not to read them.

Let’s not do hate speech in places with a large number of unspecified people, as it will make those around us uncomfortable.

>>91

Nothing has changed with “Mansei.”

Did people in the past get off to Osamu Dazai?

>>93

I think that if I try hard, I can become the Golden Night Demon.

Banzai?

I can’t believe there are still people who say “Banzai”…

In terms of the medium of web novels, it’s really just a stop at the posted version where amateurs made typos and mistakes.

After that, it’s not uncommon for it to be completely different in the revised and proofread paperback edition that catches the eye.

Honestly, I think there are some areas that are a bit off when it’s just the author’s manuscript without any proofreading, even for a professional.

In science fiction, having knowledge related to space is somewhat common sense, and in Japanese suspense novels, preparing a timetable is considered common sense.

The premise that reincarnation in another world is natural in something like that, right?

The narrative style has stopped around 2009 to 2014, or rather, how many years do you think have passed since then?

I think that genre novels like horror and science fiction are being promoted by many writers through the web.

Considering his early works, Yusuke Yamada is not an ordinary writer now.

Don’t pretend to have culture when you can’t even write a single Chinese poem.

Did the old man just shout?
