I'm a weeb and no they are not. There are a few that are good, but 98% of it is trash, just like every other form of media.

What other definition is there for light novels than "not literature"
Dominic Carter

You're a meme and you don't even realize it.

Its true though, you'd have to be stupid not to think so. 98% of movies are shitty romcoms or just absolute gutter trash, 98% of tv shows are dumb sitcoms that copy better sitcoms or stupid reality tv shows, 98% of anime is moeshit/haremshit or just shit, 98% of video games are shovelware/rehashes, 98% of board games are just copies of better games or completely luck based.

LotGH is pretty good.
Overlord and Log Horizon are also fun.
Honestly I've had more disappointments with actual novels than with LNs, but maybe that's a matter of expectations.

I always read weeb and genre trash in between real literature, it just feels right. This month was
>Latro in the Mist
>Kizumonogatari
>Notes from Underground
>Konosuba
>The Double
>Bakemonogatari
Light novels are not literature though, no. Japan lives in a cultural bubble and none of their authors are well read.
