I'm already working on one, here's some of my prose.
>「ああああああああああ！」
>「ああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああ！」
>[やだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだやだぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁ！」

You can't write LN, you need to write manuscript first, take partichipation in contest with it and win (in last db contest there was 5 winners from 5000+ people) You probably mean Web Novel, i wrote some, but came to conclusion that i like read more tham write.

>YA novel with illustrations
That's a light novel, as in the literal definition of it. Congrats on the circular logic.

I'm writing one but I keep scrapping my story and rewriting it. I'm on over 100 rewrites now.

Give us plot in 1 sentence, we'll tell you if rewrite 101 is worth it

There's something horribly wrong with your self-confidence if that's true. It's one thing to rewrite portions of your story if you discovered major flaws, but to have not ironed out the errors in over a hundred attempts is sad.

Just fucking write it and stop trying to perfect it and restarting from scratch in an infinite loop. Chances are it's not even going to be that good if it's your first story. Rip the bandaid, finish the story, and keep moving. You need to put it out into the world to get the necessary criticism for you to grow as an author and you're never going to get that if you're permanently in writing hell.

>high school and middle school students
>young adults

It's like you don't even understand the terminology of the writing industry. Even I learned this shit in my freshman English class at uni.

read "I'm a High School Boy and a Bestselling Light Novel author, strangled by my female classmate who is my junior and a voice actress" (shitty name I know) by Kino no Tabi's author.
It is like a "how to write a light novel for dummies"

I already wrote 3 volumes of mine and I'm working on 2 different ones, it's more of a fun hobby to distract my mind for me.

This user has it right. You'll pick up terrible habits. If you want to do LN content just hit up Royal Road and reference the stuff there. If you want to write literature then just go straight to it and start reading up on classic literature. The conventions and language are totally different and even good light novels aren't the same thing as lit.

Game of thlones was shit though.

There are plenty of english stories that are written like light novels. You know, with the ordinary schoolboy getting powers and chuuni settings.
Overworld Chronicles for one.

If you say "an LN", as in the abbreviation, it's not wrong. This is basic grammar.

>You'll pick up terrible habits
Yes like the terrible habit of thinking light novels inherently are different from normal novels besides the form factor.
Gate was literally a "classical" novel series that was cut up into light novel sized books to sell to said demographic, because it's the form factor that matters due to the less dauntic nature of it and the lower cost per volume but profit in total.
tldr:
You can take literally any "classical" novel, cut it into 200 page chunks, add illustrations and sell it as a light novel

>Light Novel
>complete stories

can you even be considered a LN writer if you're outside Japan? I believe there isn't any (significant) LN industry or something outside east asia

They are inherently different in the fact that they are all written like garbage, no exceptions. Anyone who defends lns has either never read an actually well written book in their life or has a terminal case of shit taste.

> never read an actually well written book
Now we are talking about "well written books"?
I thought the comparison was between classical novels and light novels you goalpost moving ass.
LNs are not inherently bad this is an objective fact, what you consider "all" is merely your bias due to your inability to look past the popular stuff, and congratulations you just found out that popular books are badly written garbage just like with classical novels.
As i mentioned in the post you reply to but didn't read, LNs are classical novels in a different form factor with illustrations, nothing more nothing less.
You can literally have the Illiad made into a light novel without magically losing the quality of its writing.

If I give someone on Zig Forums ny billion dollar idea will you write it up for me? Typing is a pain. I'll let you have 3%
