The System That Made Light Novels Suck vol. 1 : Debuting - Newbie Contest

#anime #2023anime #lightnovel Light novels are infamous for it's stereotype of being monotonous with power fantasy, Isekai, harems, overuse of fanservices and just being generally shallow and forgettable. In this series we will be going through the reason why I believe this isn't merely because of supply and demand, but because light novel platforms, be it publishers or web novels, are systematically and unintentionally rigged towards these tropes while putting sheer disadvantage towards any attempts to be unique. This week, we'll start with the contest or shinjinshou 新人賞, one of the major routes for debuts in light novels. If you came from my clips, thank you for your support. I have always put the disclaimer in all of my clips that I am not a dedicated clipping channel, and so going forward I will try to keep a weekly upload of these more personal contents. I hope you can find it informative or at least entertaining, and if not, I hope you'll be kind enough to just ignore 1 extra vid in your feed per week. My clipping schedule should not change much. The original goal of this channel is to try and recruit some other foreign writers and artists to the anime, manga and light novel industry to bring fresh, new and diverse paint to the current monotony of the industry that keeps doing this even if it means hurting its own profits and reputation.

Though I either did not ask or they did not give permission for their name to be cited, so it is up to your own discretion if my info is reliable. Disclaimer on the chart labeling light novels as isekais or harems at 6:39, The light novels are judged mostly on their titles/volume description summary. "Isekai" here is used broadly for any power fantasy set in a fantasy world where the words "isekai"（異世界）, "reincarnation"（転生）, "strongest"（最強）, "unbeatable"（無双）, "cheat"（チート）etc are used, regardless of whether the characters get transported to a different world or not. Additionally, this is a sample size taken for March-May 2023, where the number of monthly releases also have went down considerably post-pandemic. BGMs used from Persona 5 - Layer Cake - Tokyo Emergency - The Spirit - Restlessness - Butterfly Kiss
