I was a huge anime fan back when i was younger, around 2017ish i switched to reading a lot of light novels instead. So hundreds of books later im having more issues finding anything to read. But i also have a lack of interest for non anime books and its rather annoying. I read through a song of ice and fire a while ago and loved it. I planned to delve into more american literature at the time, yet i went straight back to the same old stuff, light novels.

Im hoping i can get recommendations and let peer pressure kick in to give some books a shot! So if anyone could point me in any direction to go id appreciate it.

      You’re description makes them sound very animeish, which is exactly what i was hopeing for. Have you read Japanese light novels yourself, and if so would you be able to tell if any of them are similar to the books you recommend.

          Im gonna look up he who fights and give it a read. Some time tomorrow i expect to finish what im currently reading and ill see if i can jump straight into it. I tend to read a book every other day if i can, so ill reply with my thoughts.

      Is he that the author? I tend to like longer series of books, most of what i read in light novel form have ten+ books. But most of them are a little under the first harry potter book’s word count.

        Yes he’s one of the most prolific modern writers. Has his own youtube channel too where he recently put a video of what book of his you might want to try if youre reading his books for the first time. You’ll definetely find smth you like there.
