🥳 Children's Book Club 📚 // Now Reading: ふしぎアイテム博物館

Pretty much half of the light novels nominated in and/or read by 初心者のライトノベル読書会 📚 Beginner's Light Novel Book Club L20-29 - NOW READING: 🐱 黒猫ニャンゴの冒険 ✨ are L26 or lower. I don’t see a reason to exclude those unless you really like the “children’s book” theming.

Well, I do like the children’s book theming :joy: I like children’s books and they have different subject matters than easy LN’s which are aimed at older age groups, so I would feel less enthusiastic about running the club if it turned into the “easy LN club”

Fair enough. It’s your idea, I’m just trying to advise on what might get a bigger audience :wink:

Also: “L26 or less” doesn’t really sound like

though - more like the non-manga counterpart to the BBC in difficulty. The IBC is leagues above the BBC in difficulty.

Well, yes, but reading a novel is naturally much more difficult than reading a BBC manga, because of word density, so I’d still consider it a step up. Maybe if we need another step after that you could move the beginner LN club to WK :laughing:

An important difference is that children’s books have full furigana or only use easy kanji, but light novels have no such restrictions.

Maybe I’ll stop dragging my feet on making a wk account… But also, I think I’ve discovered I prefer reading at my own pace… :joy:

We would be happy to have you!

But reading at your own pace is fun too :slightly_smiling_face:
