Let's explore the best LightNovelPub audiobooks.

Services such as Kindle and Audible are great places to find mainstream books. But what happens when you’re interested in more obscure book types? Where can you find them, and do you have to deal with subscriptions as well? Thanks to services like LightNovelPub, you can read light novels and their translations for free. Plus, with the help of some additional tools, you can enjoy them as audiobooks and listen on the go.

What is LightNovelPub?

LightNovelPub is one of the best fictional story hubs on the web. It’s one of the largest light novel repositories featuring notable Chinese, Korean, and Japanese novels translated into English. LightNovelPub hosts numerous categories of stories, including:

  • Action
  • Adult
  • Adventure
  • Comedy
  • Contemporary Romance
  • Drama
  • Eastern Fantasy
  • Horror
  • Historical
  • Sci-Fi
  • Martial Arts
  • Tragedy
  • Supernatural
  • Video Games
  • School Life
  • Many others

Users can sort the content according to date, popularity, and updates. It’s also possible to filter the status of the novel as “All,” “Completed,” or “Ongoing.” When you navigate to the “Filter” page, you can do an advanced search for novels like “Included” and “Excluded” tags, “Translation status,” “Rating,” and more. In the “Rating” section, you can filter books by the following:

  • Highest overall ranking
  • Highest user rating
  • Most chapter visits
  • Best user opinions
  • Most comments
  • Most collections in the library

As you can see, browsing through LightNovelPub is easy and flexible. It’s easy to find a customized reading suggestion without feeling overwhelmed by a large number of available novels. Some books also come with web translations so that you can read your favorite work in the language of your choice. LightNovelPub users can also benefit from notification services to get updates on new uploads. Every new chapter the author publishes instantly becomes available to millions of users.

What is a Light Novel?

Light novels are often associated with manga. They are novella-type stories originating from Japan and come with illustrations. The audience for light novels is primarily young adults (both male and female, with females slightly dominating the genre). The length of the novel is relatively short, as it generally has no more than 50,000 words. Light novels feature plenty of beautiful illustrations. The images resemble those in the manga, which is why readers often confuse these two. However, light novels give the readers more room to focus on the story than manga. You won’t witness as much dialogue in light novels, but you can expect more disposition. The illustrations in light novels also have fewer fine details. Audiobook lovers will be thrilled to learn that they can access their favorite light novels in a new format.

Text to speech – Turn any light novel into an audiobook

Text to speech (TTS) is an assistive technology that can transform any text, including light novels, into audiobooks. The benefits of TTS are numerous:

  • Faster content comprehension and reading times
  • Suitable for people with learning disabilities
  • Easier access to content
  • Stimulates language and cognitive skills
  • Boosts creative thinking
  • Creates a calming effect when paired with background music
  • Can make reading a shared experience
  • Supports multitasking and productivity
  • Prevents eye strain

Unfortunately, LightNovelPub doesn’t support audiobooks or built-in TTS features. However, there are still ways to enjoy the content from this website in audio format. Multiple apps and browser extensions can help.
