Was there an anime novel that wasn't a light novel?

If there were novels that used the language style and narrative techniques of traditional novels and had clear 2D cultural characteristics, would there be a proper name for such novels? Was there a market for such novels? Thank you for your answer.

Answer 1

The anime style novels usually referred to those novels that were based on the style of anime or drew on the elements of anime. Although this type of novel was often referred to as " anime novels," they were not the same as light novels.

In fact, there were many anime novels that were not light novels. They had their own unique storyline and style that were loved by the majority of readers. For example, the Blade of Ghost Annihilation, the Giant's Attack, the Gate of the Fate Stone, etc. These novels not only had anime style illustrations and covers, but also integrated elements of various literary schools, with profound meaning and unique charm.
