Maybe we just haven't told them yet.
It could be that we're a bit shy or worried about their reactions. Some people might think light novels are just for geeks or something, so we're hesitant to let others know. Also, we might be enjoying the privacy of having this hobby all to ourselves for now.
There could be several reasons. First, we might be afraid of being teased or judged by our classmates. Second, we might not have found the right time or way to share this information. Third, it could be that our social circle in the class doesn't seem to be interested in this kind of literature at first glance, so we assume they won't care and thus haven't bothered to mention it.
Yes, it's perfectly okay. Everyone has their own interests that they might not want to share with others right away.
We can keep it that way if we want. It's our own little secret and we can enjoy the light novel privately.
We can keep it that way if we want to. Just enjoy the light novel privately.
First, we need to figure out why they don't know. Is it because we haven't promoted it enough? If so, we can organize a small event in the class, like a light novel reading session. We can bring in some popular light novels, briefly introduce what they are about, and then let classmates have a taste of them. This way, they can gradually understand and get interested in light novels.
We can create a light novel themed poster and put it up in the classroom. It can have some cool illustrations from light novels and a brief introduction.
Maybe they are not exposed to Japanese or Asian pop culture much. Light novels are very popular in Japan and are gradually spreading globally, but if they don't follow related trends, they are likely not to know about them.
We can start by simply explaining what a light novel is. It's a type of Japanese novel that often has anime - like illustrations and is usually aimed at a younger audience. Then, we can recommend some popular ones like 'Sword Art Online' or 'Re:Zero'.
First, we could bring in some light novels to class. Show them the covers, which are usually very eye - catching. Then, read out a short and exciting passage from one of the novels. Mention the different genres of light novels, such as fantasy, romance, and science - fiction. This will give them an idea of the variety available.
Reading light novels can enhance your vocabulary in a fun way. Many light novels use modern and trendy words. Moreover, it exposes you to different cultures, especially Japanese culture. For instance, you can learn about Japanese school life, traditions, and their way of thinking through light novels. And they are a great form of entertainment when you want a quick and engaging read.
I would recommend 'Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World'. It has a really interesting plot where the main character keeps dying and restarting in a fantasy world. Another great one is 'No Game No Life'. The story of two genius siblings in a world ruled by games is very engaging.
