Well, one place to start is BookWalker.jp. They have a wide range of Japanese light novels. Also, check out honto.jp. Sometimes, you might find good reads on smaller indie websites that focus on specific genres of light novels.
One great place to start is with basic Japanese grammar books. For example, 'Genki' is a very popular textbook for beginners. It will teach you the fundamentals like verb conjugations, sentence structures, and basic vocabulary. You can also start using language learning apps such as Duolingo or Memrise. They offer simple and engaging ways to learn Japanese words and phrases that will be useful for reading light novels later on.
You could check out specialized light novel forums or communities. Sometimes, they have links or recommendations for places to read in Japanese. Another option is to follow Japanese authors' official websites, as they might provide access or point you in the right direction.
Websites like J-Novel Club and Kobo are good places to look. Some libraries might also have digital collections of Japanese light novels that you can access with a membership.
Japanese light novels could be watched on various platforms such as web novels, anime, manga, games, and so on. Some common platforms include:
- Online novel platforms such as Qidian Chinese Network, Xiaoxiang Academy, Zongheng Chinese Network, etc.
- [Animation platforms: For example, Animation Home, Animation Home, etc.]
- Comics platforms, such as Comics Island, Comics House, etc.
- Game platforms: For example, Netease Cloud Reading, QQ Reading, etc.
In addition, Japanese light novels could also be found on major video websites such as bilibili, Youtube, etc. However, it should be noted that the Japanese light novels on these platforms may not have Chinese translation and need to be viewed by themselves.
I would recommend 'Sword Art Online'. It's quite popular and thus easy to find resources about it for further study. The story takes place in a virtual world which is very appealing. It starts with a basic premise that many can understand - being trapped in a game world - and then unfolds with action, adventure, and some light romance. The writing style is not too difficult for beginners to grasp.
You can find Japanese light novels at your local library. Many libraries have a section dedicated to international literature, which may include some translated Japanese light novels. Another option is online platforms. Amazon has a wide selection of both physical and digital versions of Japanese light novels. There are also specialized e - book platforms like BookWalker, which offers a large collection of Japanese light novels, often with exclusive titles.
