Is it okay if we make a separate folder for Light Novels? Seeing how most of them are listed in the regular literature section despite LNs being a sub-genre aimed at young adults in Japan. It'll also cause confusion due to them being paired up with regular Japanese novels that existed long before LNs became popular but don't qualify for that genre. The LNs I'm talking about are:

  • As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World
  • Fluffy Paradise
  • Ishura
  • Meitou "Isekai no Yu" Kaitakuki
  • Re:Monster
  • Sasaki and Peeps
  • Seventh Time Loop
  • The Strongest Tank's Labyrinth Raids
  • Trapezium
  • VTuber Legend
Plus, Manhua and Manhwas have their own folders at Summary.Comic Books, so why not do the same for Light Novels?

It depends if the number of Light Novels on this page are big enough to be their own subpage.

Because otherwise, most of them would go under the "Literature (fiction)" folder or "Fantasy"

Sorry for the late response, but other folders on this page are just as small; Superhero Literature, for example, has two red-linked works under it's folder. I even created a folder for Web Serial Novels that only consisted (at the time) of one example (Xyrin Empire). Plus the Literature folder for non-fiction works is already too long at the moment and I was thinking that we should move the LNs to their namesake folder while soft-spliting the Literature folder in alphabetical order akin to how Summary.Video Games was when their folder got to big.

^ Well, in this guess, it's fine to create it for convenience sake.

^ Okay then, but should distinguish them from Japanese novels that exist prior to Light Novels or no?

^ I think distinguishing them from non-Light Novel Japanese novels is fine.

So I made a creator page for August Strindberg, but it's too late for me to start working on any actual works, so any help would be appreciated.
