![]() ![]() ![]() Like manga, light novels are usually first published in chapters in a magazine before being bundled and sold in bunkobon format. These works generally do not exceed 40 to 50,000 words, and are most often filled with illustrations. Typically, light novels will use short paragraphs and be written in the form of dialogue. Light novels are written with popular entertainment in mind, so their style is often very different from novels intended for adults only. The term light novel is a wasei-eigo, a Japanese word formed from words in the English language. A light novel (Japanese: ライトノベル, raito noberu, literally “light novel”, meaning “illustrated novel”), sometimes abbreviated ranobe (Japanese: ラノベ) or LN in the West, is a type of Japanese novel intended for an audience of young adults (equivalent to high school and college students).
