Silver here,
You know everyone has their first, so what was the first LN/WN that got you into reading them?
For me, it was toaru majutsu no index over at baka tsuki.

Infinite stratos. I can’t remember why but I recall googling it and discovering Baka-tsuki through that. That was at least 7 or 8 years ago and now I am reading several different light novel and web novel translations. And Infinite stratos can be considered dead at this point as it has been nearly two since vol 10 with no news about vol 11.

I retract my last statement. Apparently vol. 11 is coming out on May 25th.

The first LN i ever read was Campione. I found that one to be very interesting, and am still pissed that it got licensed and doesnt show up on Bakatsuki anymore. As for anime,manga,Ln,WN and all that good stuff in general, i watched the Soul Eater anime once out of sheer curiosity and now i cant stop.

You could always use the wayback machine, plus even though we won’t have translations the translator for the series did put up summaries for the latest volumes on animesuki.

I read the first chapters of the manga of death march kara hajimaru isekai and wanted more. I hesitated for some months and finally started reading it.
That remembers me of a long chain that began in march 2004 or so. At first I started watching my big brother playing games, after I played them, then I used youtube, over that followed animes, then mangas and at last WN and LN. A long story~nostalgic~

I started with TDG on wuxiaworld after some hiatus of the manga and now i check pretty much every manga if it has LN/WN if the releases are slow, also its so frustrating that TDG is being rushed by the author 😦

Wow, I could write an entire paper on the evolution of my tastes in fiction and media… Maybe I should sometime… 😅
Anyway, as for my first light novel, I don’t rightly remember — but I’m fairly sure it was one I found online because the manga version wasn’t updating regularly. The New Gate is a possibility, or Accel World. Or possibly Spirit Migration or Re:Monster, although I suspect not, since I was only mildly interested in those. 🤔

Overlord, because I couldn’t wait a week for the new anime episode. Turned out the light novel was even better than the anime.

Gosh, I’ve been reading Light/Web Novels for years now… I think the first Light Novel I ever read was High School DxD. After that I found The Rising of The Shield Hero Web Novel, and then eventually found Readlightnovels.com and Novelupdates.com.

No god damn idea. Have an ongoing problem of reading of books that aren’t poorly written garbage then trying to find more good books. So years ago found baka tsuki now only use novelupdates and read a lot. Novels are still novels just varying in size. Still recall reading SAO and then trying to tell people about it when literally everyone had not even the slightest idea of what the fuck it was. The other oldest things I read I can’t recall the long names of. Index was one though

Mine would be Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei on Baka Tsuki when it still had about 6-7 chapters available. Followed by SAO and a bit of High School DxD. I only discovered Novel Updates 2 years ago.

My first LN was Vampire Hunter D from a local library, which was around 10 years ago. My second LN was The Twelve Kingdoms. The only reason I’ve found them was because I was a bit obsessed with those two animations & learned that they’ve been based of a novel.
It’s only a few years later when I’ve discovered other novel translations online. It felt like the information about WN/LN translations was pretty scarce at that time. The knowledge about those weren’t really spreading around much, even among anime/manga forums. I just accidentally stumbled on the Moonlight Sculpture, and it just went from there.

First Ln that I read that got me into reading LNs then WNs was Campione!. Kept seeing a gif with that kiss scene that happens towards the end of the series. I instinctively knew I had to learn where it was from, lead me to watching the anime which in turn got me reading the LNs on Baka-Tsuki around 2012 and the rest is history. And yes I’m still salty about that DMCA from Shueisha for no other reason than just because they felt like it.

I think the 1st one that made me into reading on web this much was Re:Monster (I don’t remember the web but I think 1st its baka but then I went to mtl group archive that have super long ahead from baka but in mtl and I somehow understand most of the story without worries. But it was really unreadable, don’t know how I understood them all at that time. Still question my brian at that time)
