Why would someone think it's a joke? It's pretty normal for Japan

The not considering step-siblings incest is true for most of the world, not considering it cheating is weird regardless.

are you not aware of exactly how many light novels exist out there? it's not like anime where we only get like 30 a season; there's an absolutely massive number and they all have weird plot hooks

this is my favorite one

Isn't this what Citrus was about?

Wait after reading the link it's not the dude's step sister, it's his girlfriend's. Still a little shitty but not incest.

If it was identical twins, maybe you could argue it's not cheating.

The Japanese literally have a term to distinguish between actual incest and "incest" with step-relatives or in-laws.

This is not as unique a thing as Panda seems to think it is.

Does English not just have not-blood-related?

Yeah, but there's a difference between having just one word and having to sort of put multiple words together to make a phrase to describe something.

It's like how the Russians have a word (nichevo) that English has to translate as "Ehh, it can't be helped". Or how the Germans have "schadenfreude", which can only really be translated into English as "taking pleasure from the misfortunes of others".

Even in America stepsister and stepbrothers getting together is not incest, while some might frown upon it there is 0 blood relation there.

The law also does nothing to stop a stepbrother from marrying a stepsister.

Books are published every day of every year of every year in every language. Is this a big book? Is there a lot of hype behind it? Is this done by a famous author?

We've had basically infinite books before now as well, and will have infinite more. There's nothing new under the sun, I don't see any way this is special.

light novels have a pretty standardized short length, you can read through the entire thing in one day

I didn't even know there were light novels without incest-adjacent relations.

SAO arguably kick started a lot of modern light novel trends and even that features step siblings lusting after each other.

They tend to have character art but it's probably commissioned? Idk actually.

HP Lovecraft and Arthur Conan Doyle are probably technically light novel authors idk

The average length of a light novel is about 50,000 words,[4] close to the minimum expected for a Western novel,[5] and they are usually published in bunkobon size (A6, 10.5 cm 14.8 cm), often with dense publishing schedules.

Uuuh, 50k is quite a lot for a short story.

This is honestly the first time I've heard about it, so, maybe?

A better reference would be the penny dreadfuls, but, nobody cares about those anymore.

I actually might be getting confused.

Translators tend to translate them as individual chapters, but I think they're all published at once.

they're usually published weekly or so online in a digital format separated into chapters (one light novel usually has 8-12 chapters), as a completed digital product when it's done, and then later as a physical copy

light novels are novels by people who write original stories online and get vaguely popular enough to be worth publishing

sword art online started as a web novel (which is where that erotica chapter got posted), got collated into light novels after the author's other work got popular, and then the anime goes by the light novel's slightly revised version mostly

most anime in the past few decades have been light novel adaptations. haruhi, oreimo, full metal panic, slayers, overlord, konosuba, baccano, toradora... amateur works getting catapulted into extreme popularity has gotten a lot popular over the past decade because of dedicated websites for this kinda thing
