Monogatari started as a light novel. The success of the light novels led to manga adaptations and other media expansions. But its roots are in the light novel format.
One characteristic is its unique storytelling style. It often weaves complex and interwoven plots. The characters in Monogatari light novel are very distinct, each with their own quirks and deep personalities. The use of dialogue is also quite engaging, which helps to drive the story forward and reveal the characters' thoughts and relationships.
As of now, it seems to be ongoing. But keep in mind that the publication schedule might be irregular and subject to various factors like the author's creativity and publishing plans.
The following are some of the recommended doujinshi novels in the Monogatari series:
1. " Bug Master Monogatari's Friend's Tent ": This book is a strange world, involving the world views of Bug Master, Monogatari, and Natsume's Friend's Tent. If you like Japanese fantasy stories, you can read this one.
2. " Two-Dimensional Manga Monogatari ": This book was a light novel that described the story of youth. It involved the worldview of many two-dimensional works.

In the broader scope of literature, it may not be as well - known as some mainstream bestsellers. But within the niche community of light novel enthusiasts, it has a following. Its popularity can also be gauged by the amount of fan art and discussions on relevant forums. There are often threads where fans discuss their favorite moments or characters from 'ankoku kishi monogatari', which shows that it has an engaged readership.
I'm not entirely sure as it might be a relatively niche light novel. It could potentially be about a unique fantasy world, with its own set of characters, perhaps having an adventure - based plot where the protagonists face various challenges and mysteries.
