Do many light novels have crappy writing and themes simply because many of the authors are very young and barely...

>It will never be high-culture
A lot of high-culture has its beginnings in low culture.

Do you realize you just did that? By Yuri Yuru he's literally making a safe post to attach the worst obnoxious type of newfags and cancers out there.

that's just because the distinction between high and low culture is often arbitrary and made so people can feel better about themselves.

Light novels are not written with a foreign audience in mind.

What do you think the ultimate basis for haute cuisine is?

Why do people always compare this medium that its equivalent is Percy Jackson to high literature and furthermore pushing this in Zig Forums of all places

Yes, next question.

This. Most novels have crappy writing.
>for weeaboos
Fucking retard.

the medium is not exclusively YA trash, just most of it

Bump

No.
it's literally not the writer's fault.
All of this is based on the supposition that you get the writing deal, so bear with me.

In the US, if you want to be published, you get an agent and submit a written manuscript. the agent shops your manuscript around, you get a contract, you get an editor (or one is provided to you) and you fix what needs fixing, and your shit gets published. If it's popular, you get a book deal - usually a book or two per year.

In japan, you write whatever, and you submit it. The company takes what you've written as a *proposal* and you write. You're given an "editor", but the "editor" is really a company dog that wants to make the company money.
The "editor" accepts or rejects each part that's to be published. This is why new characters are suddenly introduced. Why there are flashback arcs. Why stories never go forward. Why MC never fucks the Best Girl. The company is milking you for your popularity.
If you get the sales numbers you're given more freedom in what you want to write in your story, but japanese printing is all about milking everything to the last possible drop before going ahead with an ending.

Strong beginning -> chewy middle -> piss ending.
When you see this formula, you know the writer isn't writing what he wants, but what the company wants him to write so that they can make money, chapter by chapter.

Have you tried reading modern English language novels?
Diversity quotas are a very bad thing. I prefer nip children books.

Is this why I love starting new novels to read but always have trouble finishing them? It happens with other mediums but to a much higher degree when I read light novels.

same could be said of a lot of manga

not bake.

Why are you talking about Reddit?

light novel will have to evolve to heavy novel or it won't transition to high culture

Not that user, but maybe because it nicely illustrates the phenomena? To further add to this, no, it's most certainly not the age of authors. A quick glance at the history of mankind will reveal how stupid such an assumption is. Young, very young lads, have accomplished marvelous things time and again.

Same thing happens here. Even threads with more substance die with barely any replies more often than not.

Novelty and shock value gets your LN more attention then quality writing.
