How to Read Light Novels Online

Manga are comic books or graphic novels that rely on illustrations and speech bubbles to convey the story.

Light novels are prose books that feature illustrations throughout, but mainly use text to tell the story. Light novels are also shorter than full-length novels and tend to be easy-reading and small-sized.

Some of the differences between light novels and manga are:

Format: Manga are usually printed in black and white, with panels and pages arranged from right to left. Light novels are usually printed in color, with illustrations inserted at certain points in the text. Manga are read like comics, while light novels are read like books.
Storytelling: Manga tend to focus more on character development, dialogue, and action, while light novels tend to focus more on exposition, narration, and world-building. Manga use visual cues and expressions to show emotions and moods, while light novels use descriptive language and inner monologues to do the same.
Length: Manga are usually longer than light novels, both in terms of page count and number of volumes. A typical manga volume can have around 200 pages, while a typical light novel volume can have around 50 pages. A manga series can have dozens or even hundreds of volumes, while a light novel series can have a few or several volumes.

These are some of the main differences between light novels and manga. However, there are also some similarities and overlaps between them.

For example, both light novels and manga can have various genres, themes, and target audiences.

Both light novels and manga can also be adapted into anime, live-action films, or other media forms. Sometimes, a light novel series can have a manga adaptation, or vice versa.
