New HTML/CSS rolled out two weeks ago. Be sure to check out the new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features.

We also added two new themes (first time in 4.5 years!). Thanks to seaweed for porting them over from OneeChan!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

Regular novel: “There was a loud explosion behind me. Surprised, I turned around.”

Cell phone novel: “Boom! A boom turned me around.”

Light novel: “There was a violent explosion to my rear. I figured this would be another pain in the butt, and thoughts like ‘It’s probably going to make me skip lunch.’ swirled in my head as I turned around.”

Yuusuke Yamada: “There was the sound of a big explosion. I was surprised at the shock. I turned around.”

Ryoutaro Shiba: “There was an explosion. Getting off topic, but did you know that the first time fireworks were used as a weapon in Japan was around the time of the Mongol Invasion?”

Hiryohiko Araki: “There was an explosion behind meeeeeee! I stopped! And I turned around at the same time! And the blast hit me!”

Mari Yaguchi: “I loved to play Bomberman when I was a kid, so when I heard an explosion, I turned to see. I thought maybe it was a stunt by the world’s biggest Bomberman fan.”

Natsuhiko Kyogoku: “A thunderous noise shook the ground. …Was it an explosion? If you were to ask me, it was about as plain as tea without the leaves. …That’s why I replied. With a ‘What?’ A bell, that is, a wind chime, was singing somewhere else.”

Sho Ikegami: “Now, I’m sure everyone is wondering what this explosion was. That’s why I’ve prepared a diagram. Please look behind you.”

Light novel "My Little Sister Has Few Friends" canceled before publication

At their own awards ceremony on the 23rd, publishing industry leader Aozora Bunka announced that the novel that won the Galaxy J Newcomer Prize had been discovered to have been automatically generated by a computer program. As a result, Aozora Bunka announced the annulment of the prize and cancelation of publication. Some voices in the industry say it had been just a matter of time before an incident of this nature occurred.

The winning novel in question, "My Little Sister Has Few Friends," is the story of a fox-like beast-girl named Kasuka Horo, the student council president at her high school, who battles various super-powered foes in a sealed-off academic city. With thrilling descriptions of combat and unique side-characters such as a wise and taciturn black-cat girl who likes reading books and playing bishoujo games, the judges gave high praise, saying, "Familiar yet original, it follows in the grand tradition of light novels."

However, during his speech at the award ceremony on the 23rd, the author, Utsumi Riku (age 24), announced that the novel had been created by an A.I. program drawing from a database of 600 previously existing novels, with some minor manual editing. "I had no involvement in creating the story or characters at all," said Utsumi.

An industry insider was quoted as saying, "This particular title came to light because the author himself revealed it, but at this point it's a poorly-guarded secret that approximately one-third of newly-published light novels these days are created by automated software. Though categorized as 'novels,' light novels sell based on collections of moe-elements and the name-value of their illustrators, so the writing skill of the author is largely irrelevant."

Metamorphic code is about mutating the assembly opcodes (rewrite the instructions to accomplish the same task, in a different way), it has nothing to do with writing new programs, only obfuscating existing ones.

it's easy to get into, you can read it between one bishoujo game and another without having to worry about deep and complex variations of the plot, since most of it is episodical/semi-self-conclusive.

>My Little Sister Can Read Kanji

>The year is 2202, and the 200 year war is finally over. Moe, a narrow sub culture started in the early 21st century, has won its war against classical literature. As ’1984′ said, ‘Those who control the future controls the past, and those who control the present controls the past,’ moe literature (to be more exact, imouto literature) has become a synonym for literature, and has erase all traces of old Japanese literature. Fanservice is seen as essential in any composition. Kanji is deemed needlessly complex and replaced with an Hiragana. Novels are sprinkled with symbols such as ☆, !, @ .

>But more importantly, 2D characters have finally taken over the entire world. No longer are there 3D celebrities or famous people- all celebrities are replaced with 2D loli characters. Boring politicans are replaced with charming imouto loli. Moe was abundance, and there was much rejoicing. Loli figurines from the 21st century are seen as precious artifacts that are to be treasured and remembered. Moe is now the only genre, the One True Way. People looked back to early 21st century and wondered how on earth did those barbarians live in that dark age.

>"There's no better way to pay homage to our fallen brothers than by letting it rip, hitting that ramp at full fucking blast, and flying through the sky high above the Vietnam Memorial," said Biden, noting that he also plans to execute a midair salute by placing his fingers around his mouth in a V shape and rapidly flicking his tongue.

To be fair, every translation on there is piss poor as a result of the translators being amateurs, students, or translating from a Chinese translation rather than the actual source.

The impact this has isn't a small one, mind you. The whole reason that shit like mollusks, "it felt so good I wanted to vomit" etc were cited as examples of "Nasu's illiteracy" and became a meme only in the West is precisely because FSN had a horrible translation full of non-idiomatic English.

Akiko makes no effort to hide her brother complex. She even goes as far as trying to convince her brother to make their first night together a memorable one, to no avail. Akito calmly rejects his sister's many advances and deems loving his blood-related sister impossible. However, Akiko is determined to prove that love can overcome any obstacle.

Akito does not harbor the same feeling for Akiko, and as a result has a headache with Akiko's actions. Despite all, he still loves Akiko as a sister, and finds her adorable and cute, especially when he had not seen her since she was 10 years old.

Akiko must fight to defend her extraordinary love for her Onii-chan as she battles against all odds and three other girls who are after her beloved Onii-chan.

Just so you all know, this is hardly a new phenomenon. You know Don Quixote? It's a great novel that manages to belong to more than one genre, touches on a variety of really profound topics, and criticizes the present while thoroughly debunking attempts at romanticizing the past. Before all of that though, what it really is is really a polemic against the popular literature of the day, chivalry stories--the early modern equivalent of Light Novels in Japan and Young Adult fiction in America. Cervantes mentions a lot of the worst ones by name, in fact.

The point is, whether we're talking now or an unspecified number of years in the past that somehow belongs to the realm of "classic literature", most of what you'll find in terms of books is going to be uninspired, unoriginal, formulaic, and forgettable. This trend isn't confined to one region or even one genre, and it certainly isn't unique to Light Novels. What it also means, however, is that you can probably find some examples of pretty good literature even in genres that people dismiss out-of-hand. Take that as you will.

I think of sex as the ultimate form of confirming a romantic relationship. It can also be used for dramatic effect if the sex doesn't go like it should the first time they try. Sex definitely belongs in the romance genre even if it's not the main focus.

Look at sword art online... there's a pretty generic sex scene in there at one point but it serves its purpose well for showing how close the MC and his waifu heroine got during their time in the game world and sets up the next part of the story.

The fact that no one can answer your question because the MC doesn't knock up his lover/imouto proves that you're a shallow-minded idiotic underage who demands sex for a story being good and don't know the meaning of character interaction and development.

>My Little Sister Can Read Kanji

>The year is 2202, and the 200 year war is finally over. Moe, a narrow sub culture started in the early 21st century, has won its war against classical literature. As ’1984′ said, ‘Those who control the future controls the past, and those who control the present controls the past,’ moe literature (to be more exact, imouto literature) has become a synonym for literature, and has erase all traces of old Japanese literature. Fanservice is seen as essential in any composition. Kanji is deemed needlessly complex and replaced with Hiragana. Novels are sprinkled with symbols such as ☆, !, @ .

>But more importantly, 2D characters have finally taken over the entire world. No longer are there 3D celebrities or famous people- all celebrities are replaced with 2D loli characters. Boring politicans are replaced with charming imouto loli. Moe was abundance, and there was much rejoicing. Loli figurines from the 21st century are seen as precious artifacts that are to be treasured and remembered. Moe is now the only genre, the One True Way.

Honestly, I think the crazier ones started as a joke and it just caught on from there. But it's selection bias, the LNs that we know of in the west are just a small fraction of what's published in Japan; people are obviously going to pick the ones that stand out the most, so very few people here get an accurate impression of what the medium as a whole is like.
>>
>>66440655
We are animals, so yes, that is why animals fall in love.

There are lots of animals other than humans that have relationships that look a lot like romantic love. For instance, many birds form mating pairs that will exist until they die.
>>
>>66440460
But sex isn't the only thing in the world? I asked of anything, some conflict, goal set or accomplished, plot progression, anything. There was no sex in the last Saki Achiga episode I watched but the bowling girl won a match with the last hand, girls had a conflict with their coach, discovered possible treason and even met fellow players from other school. And that was ONE episode. I'm sure SOMETHING must have happened in whole fucking volume of light novel?
>>
>>66440652
Romantic story could do without sex scene DEPENDS on the story, mind you. It's not a must.

In real life, love and sex are mutual, but when writing a fiction....not so much.

>>66440655
Animals probably would if they were capable of complex thought processes. Some animals do "love", though not always for sexual purposes. They exhibit feelings of love for their family and such.

Most people who want to give you an intelligent-sounding answer will probably mention Zaregoto, which is difficult to troll as it hasn't been translated or received an animation, but the real answer is that most of the people who post on /a/ either don't know Japanese or otherwise have a relatively weak grasp of it: too weak to have consumed enough Japanese literature, both low brow and high brow, to really have a good understanding of how any individual work relates to the whole. So you're kind of out of luck unless you happen to know some well-read Japs who don't confuses their biases with actual criticism if you want a really informed opinion.

Well, "Love", the idealized form is - sure, I'll agree with you there. However, falling for somebody and wanting to raise a family with them, etc, is a biological process. The feelings are also biological. It's not man-made.

As a Koreanfag I can only profess that there seems to be a certain subset of LNs that get a slightly better treatment than the rest at least in here. LNs are all chunked together in a section right next to the manga section, but the monogatari series, KnK, and if I remember right Shiki are usually placed away from the LN section and put in the fantasy section.

Not saying they are better, but I assume that they give a differing impression to the readers here and might be relevant since this is one of the few placed where you can read most of the LNs albeit in a different language than moonspeak.

>But more importantly, 2D characters have finally taken over the entire world. No longer are there 3D celebrities or famous people- all celebrities are replaced with 2D loli characters.

Loli figurines from the 21st century are seen as precious artifacts that are to be treasured and remembered. Moe is now the only genre, the One True Way. People looked back to early 21st century and wondered how on earth did those barbarians live in that dark age.

Sex and love can complement each other, but they don't need to go hand in hand. You can have love without sex, and you most certainly can have sex without love.
You can write a whole romance novel without any sex. I could write a whole book on love devoid of any sexual desire if I wanted to.

I see sex as a purely romantic thing you do with somebody you intend to stick with for life. I don't particularly care if other people see it differently because it doesn't offend me, but that's what it means to me and I have no religious background at all.

This, don't put too much emphasis on the "for life" part. Good goodbyes are great, new chapters in your life are great. People who insist on sticking with one partner for life to have sex would seem to have some emotional attachment issues to me, abandonment issues or something.

Have a great time and love somebody, when it comes time to say goodbye do that, end on good terms, move on to the next great person.

Making relationships is the same for friends as it is for partners, you don't want just one friend. There's so many great people out there.

Sage because this is some 3dpd shit right here.

Not really, I mean she was sort of, but she condoned them dating. Her love for both of them was greater than her jealousy. That's a pretty good character attribute in my opinion.
>next volume probably jealous as fuck of Ayase
Nah, I doubt it. I don't even think the confession is serious, just a ploy to save Kirino because Ayase is a yandere. If it is serious, she'll probably be a little mad but it won't matter because Kyousuke isn't going for that shit anyhow.

So I was thinking on the question raised by >>66440363 and how possibly to address it in a way that doesn't just devolve purely to opinions.

Proposition: In the west, most novels that are considered "good" have some kind of thematic around which the plot is structured. This is not to say that there aren't some bad novels that do as well, but it's far more common to see "good" novels with a clear thematic that ties in well with the storyline and "bad" novels with a poorly developed one/none than the reverse.

Does this criterion have any merit when you apply it to Light Novels? Because even if you're reading a garbage translation, you should still be able to identify the thematic if one exists.

People can be jealous, it doesn't need to make logical sense. She used to be close with her brother and when he started hanging out with Manami he drifted away.

Jealousy is a pretty normal emotion for this situation, even in normal life. I personally blame Manami, and I guess she does too a little, but it's written in a pretty human way.
>>
>>66442015
>>66442040
>>66442092
I think that the author will shed light on what is going on between Kirino and Manami next volume.

I'm guessing Kyousuke had some kind of fight with Kirino when they were kids and Manami's name was invoked.
