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 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
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
An important difference is that children’s books have full furigana or only use easy kanji, but light novels have no such restrictions.
I’ve gone ahead and made a thread on WK:
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…
We would be happy to have you!
But reading at your own pace is fun too
