Recently, Japan did a survey on Twitter about "the thoughts of light novel readers", and the following is the full text of the survey report:

Guys, do you feel embarrassed when you meet a saleswoman when you buy a light novel at a bookstore? When you go out to ride in the car or when you are out alone, when you want to read a light novel, do you pay attention to the eyes of others, and then silently cover the cover of the book with book paper or hands? All kinds of interesting things when reading light novels,I believe that all readers who love to read light novels will definitely have experienced,We conducted a survey on Twitter to see what embarrassing things everyone has experienced or what they think of light novels。 In this article, we have selected some of the most representative responses, so let's take a look at what the interviewees had to say.

1. The mood of waiting for the new issue to be released can be described as three autumns in one day

I knew that it would not be possible to sell it before the official release date, but I couldn't help but want to look for it at the bookstore, and maybe I would be lucky enough to meet an early release. (Netizen INABA81)

2. The concept of the date is based on the sale of light novels

Whenever I see a new issue in a bookstore, I realize, "Oh, it's the X issue of the month of X." (Netizen nointestine)

3. Pick the perfect book

If it's a book stacked on the floor, always buy the third book counted down from above. (Netizen Sagami Noriaki)

4. I am worried about missing the opportunity to buy, and I want to buy it first and put it at home without looking at it

Every time I come across a new issue at a bookstore, even if I haven't read the previous volume, I will buy it first and keep it for later. (netizen xxxff5)

Sometimes I can't remember whether I bought it or not, but I just bought it first. (Netizen sim_21)

5. Often attracted by the cover of the book

How can you buy a book and just look at the illustration on the cover! Anyway, I bought it anyway.

"Wow, this cover is amazing!" and bought it as a result.

"Wow, this cover is too frustrating, right?233", and I bought it anyway. (netizen meron1125)

If the cover is impressive, I will buy it. (netizen zinguruberu24)

Even if you don't know the content of the novel, if it's a cover drawn by your favorite illustrator, you can buy it without saying a word. (Netizen lostoman)

Sometimes I buy it to support illustrators. But...... I don't regret it. (Netizen nokia_nekoiro)

6. The illustration is too embarrassing

Every time I open an illustration, I always warn if there is anyone around. (netizen nanamenamename)

When I was reading outside the house, if I read a page with illustrations, I would quickly read and turn to the next page at a glance. (Netizen hohig)

When I was wearing a suit on the train, I always used a bookmark to block the illustrations to read. (Netizen tohnagi)

Even if you have wrapped the cover in book paper, you will still feel a little weak when you read the illustrations. (Netizen mentaltimeroom)

7. Regenerate lines in the brain

When reading the lines of the tsundere heroine, the brain naturally imagines that the tsundere's voice is reading the lines. (Netizen _uso_tsuki_xxxx)

8. Niche fear

When asked by ordinary people, "What are you reading?" , always replied in a panic: "Eh, this, probably has something to do with science fiction" (netizen Suiken583)

9. Readers have different preferences

The more people recommend me to watch it, the more I don't read it. (Netizen ruisu_halfmoon)

10. I like to explore some inconclusive questions

Discuss topics such as "what is a light novel" and so on that almost never lead to a conclusion. (Netizen yu_nagi2)

The question of the definition of a light novel is discussed almost every month, but it always comes back to square one every other year. (Netizen okiyama)

Sometimes at the cocktail party, I will encounter some seniors who suddenly talk about "the definition of light novels" or "how to define light novels" and other content, but their knowledge is only half a bucket of water and half of it, at this time I really feel that this person is very annoying (netizen FutA_bA1010)

11. Some readers have a sense of superiority

The work I've been chasing since I was unknown is suddenly going to be animated.,This mood is as complicated as marrying a daughter.。 (Netizen katariya)

Think it's a shame to buy a book because of animation (netizen mirisecond)

12. Pay attention to the arrangement of books

When you buy a complete set of the series, the first thing you do is to look up the order of the books on the Internet, and then arrange them in order. (Netizen tokisimo)

13. Read books all day

There are several light novels next to the pillow at all times (netizen KIRAQN)

14. There are too many books

There are too many books, and there are not enough bookcases (netizen noneme0129)

Ladies and gentlemen, the above is our selection of answers, how many of them do you feel agree with? It doesn't matter if you don't agree with it, let's give you an example of something that everyone will definitely like. That's of course: reading light novels will make me feel happy (netizen iwashi)

No matter how embarrassed we feel, even if we are not understood by the people around us, even if the room is full of books, how can we not continue to read light novels when they are so interesting? I believe that all readers must also have their own unique reading experience, and I hope everyone can find out the changes that have occurred after reading the light novel.
