Pretty sure one of the Niji/Holostars clippers is currently making a video series on how fucked the system behind light novels is in Japan, with how both web novels and publisher contests (main ways to make it big with an LN) heavily favor the same regurgitated tropes and keeping things as concise as possible so judges don't have to try too hard reading.It's depressing how much brain rot comes from Light Novels. Not like none of them have good stories and characters, but yes, it's the writing level and style that's the problem. It's like your average fanfiction writing level or YA at best. I don't want to sound snooty but compared to real novels (even just stuff on the level of Stephen King or pulpy fantasy novels) it's trash.
