I'm not a fan of online literature. I'm a person who loves reading novels. I can answer questions about language, culture, technology, and so on. There were several ways to purchase e-books under normal circumstances:
1. Buy at e-book stores: You can buy e-books at e-book stores such as Amazon's Amazon, Apple's iBooks, Dangdang Books, etc. These stores usually provide purchase scrolls for the content of e-books.
2. Buy physical books: Some light novels that require physical books can be bought at bookstores or online bookstores.
3. Borrowing: Some light novels can be borrowed from the library or online, but they need to be returned on time.
It was important to note that some novels were limited to newbies and did not require purchase. If you want to know more about light novels, it is recommended to consult the relevant publishing companies or reading platforms.
Visit your local library. Some libraries now carry light novels. You can browse through the selection and pick up ones that seem to have moe - like covers or descriptions. If you find an author you like from reading a moe light novel, look for other works by that author. This way, you can explore more within the genre.
First, you need to have a very good understanding of both the source language and the target language. For example, if it's a Japanese light novel being translated into English, you should be fluent in Japanese grammar, vocabulary, and cultural context, as well as English. Then, read a lot of light novels in the source language to get a feel for the different styles and common elements. You can also start with some shorter, simpler light novels to practice.
