/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Hey /jp/, any chance someone can help me out by pointing me in the direction of some nice novel/light novel/ero novel translations? I've recently come to the realization that I enjoy them more than I do VN's and regular doujins. Probably just cause I enjoy writing so much personally, but whatever.

If you can list some titles and some suggestions for DL sites, that'd be great, because I get the feeling the ones I normally use won't have any of them. Or, even just some of the better titles that I can pick up at a local bookstore. Either way, anything is helpful.

Bonus points for Touhou.

If you're looking for translations ONLY, you can just go to http://vndb.org/, navigate to the page of the game you want, and usually the info there is going to tell you if the novel is translated or not, along with some helpful links all-in-one.

As far as I know, there's not a lot of Touhou novels that are actually translated, despite the interest on /jp/.

What interest? Fanfiction is fanfiction.

Some people like it, some people don't. That's why the novels exist in the first place.

Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot of interest in novel translations-fan or otherwise. The place I suggest to you is Baka-Tsuki, which is pretty much tlwiki but for LN. Otherwise, the Light Novel group on myanimelist lists off some good sources. Commercially, high level stuff like Spice And Wolf and Haruhi have a couple volumes out, which I would highly recommend for you to purchase.
