Welcome to /r/LightNovels!

Reddit Admins will soon be forcing the new profiles and replacing messages with IMs.

This is a discussion based subreddit based around translated Light Novels, Novels, and Web Novels which originate from Japan.

Discussion is usually around the latest translated chapter for a series but feel free to start other kinds of discussions. Just make sure to follow submission guidelines and rules.

Do not hesitate to post anything you want to discuss about LNs!

Submission Guidelines

Detailed Policies | FAQ

All posts that are directly related to a series require the series' title in the title of the post.

Posts that don't fall under one of the easily defined tags do not require a tag.

If your post involves spoilers or asking for them place the [Spoilers] tag in the title.

Simple/general questions that don't suit any of the below tags only require a [Spoilers] tag where appropriate.

When submitting a new volume/chapter discussion post, it needs to be a text post and please use the following link syntax: [DISC] 'full name of the novel' Volume#/Chapter# - HQ text post template.

You need to spell "Volume", "Book", "Chapter" ect in full.

Any questions which have a singular answer are not discussions.

Place the [REC] tag in the title for posts that are asking for novel recommendations.

Place the [RT!] tag in the title if you are giving a recommendation for a series (RT! = Read This!). Please use the following link syntax: [RT!] name of Light Novel (list of genres)

Also be liberal with genres! Keep in mind that this is a recommendation from you to all of r/LightNovels, so tell us why we should read it in your post! - HQ text post template.

Place the [TL] tag in the title for posts directly regarding or relating to Translation/Translating and or Fan Translation Sites/Groups/Members.
