Just because I feel like it (and might as well spam it here, might be useful lol) here are some pros to join in!
-
web novels have a wide variety that is all FREE and VERY accessible
the down side is of course that there is no format other than digital, but if it bothers some people that much printing is technically a very desperate option?
if someone does that please tell me how effective it was, specifically I’m curious if learning these like academy articles can be effective (with markers and writing summaries next to the paragraphs and such) -
the vocab learned in these web novels will not only be unique in general, but also one that is sometimes even censored or ‘corrected’ in official publications, making this an extremely effective way to learn phrases and cultural references that are otherwise very difficult to find and learn
-
like I previously mentioned, when web novels are published they go through editing and screening of things, this also includes how things that are published are chosen, meaning with enough time we might even find things that aren’t published due to their subjects (from “taboo” to “things that the Japanese audience are less interested in that we might be instead”)
-
the very obvious pro is of course, for fans of certain books and series this is a great way to expand into something you like, and even read a “better version of it” (essentially the rumor regarding Freezer Husband" lol)
-
One Shots and very short things, that will fit for a specific week and stuff like that, will be much more accessible!
Majority of the time short stories are always part of a book or stuff like that, but since we’re already doing more experimental things we can do something VERY light as break or just generally wanting to read something really cute/interesting and it’s not limited to reading it as part of a “bigger book” (this will be something that I think will fit people who enjoy things like anthologies a lot!) -
I had more but I want to organize them in my head because some of them aren’t much of a pro and more my fantasies lol
