Is magic a common theme in Japanese light novels?

Of course, I can recommend a few books! The following are a few light magic novels: - "The Ultimate Storm of Magic": A world in the era of great magic. The story of the protagonist's growth from a fourth-year student to a magic master. - <<Arias Magic Academy>>: A world full of magic, battle energy, and magical beasts. A warm, delicate, and dull magic school life. - "Inferior Students of Super Magic High School": A hot-blooded growth story with sci-fi elements, the path of the Inferior Students to Godhood. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~

In Japanese light novels, when tax evasion is a theme, it can reflect some aspects of Japanese society. For example, it may show the pressure in the business environment where some companies or individuals might be tempted to cut corners financially. It also could mirror the complex tax system in Japan that some may find difficult to navigate legally, leading to the consideration of illegal means like tax evasion in fictional scenarios.

Another common theme is the idea of the ordinary male becoming special. Often, the male lead in Japanese harem light novels starts off as a normal guy, but then through some events or abilities, he becomes someone that attracts the attention of many girls. For example, in 'Sword Art Online', Kirito has certain skills that make him stand out among others, and this leads to him having a sort of harem - like following of female characters. Well, 'Sword Art Online' has some harem - like elements among its many themes. It's not a pure harem light novel but still relevant in this regard.

Power and its consequences are often explored. Dragoons usually possess great power, and the light novels may show how this power can be used for good or be corrupted. Some characters might struggle with the responsibilities that come with their power as dragoons, and there can be internal conflicts as they decide how to use their abilities in different situations.

A common theme is starting over. The protagonist often gets a second chance at life in a different world. Another theme is power - up. They usually gain new abilities or powers in the isekai world. For example, in 'Sword Art Online', Kirito becomes a very powerful swordsman. Also, exploration is a theme. The characters explore the new and strange isekai world.

They often have vivid and imaginative storylines. The characters are usually well-developed and have distinct personalities. The writing style is often simple and easy to follow.

Yes, there could be. Some Japanese novels might focus on female - centric stories where male characters are not the central focus, thus having a sort of 'no boy' aspect in terms of the main narrative. For example, many shoujo manga - based novels which are mainly about the experiences and growth of female protagonists, with male characters playing secondary roles.

Growth is also a typical theme. The wielder of healing magic usually goes through personal growth. They might start as a novice, not fully understanding the power they possess. As they use their healing magic to help others, they grow in confidence, skill, and understanding of the world around them. Like in a story where a young healer in a small village gradually becomes known across the land for their powerful and wise use of healing magic.

Power and growth. Usually, the protagonists start out weak in a world full of swords and magic and strive to become stronger. For example, in 'The Rising of the Shield Hero', the hero has to overcome many challenges to gain power.

Well, many Japanese light novels often have unique settings. For example, in 'Overlord', the main character is transported into a game world where he has to rule as an all - powerful being. This kind of otherworldly setting is common. Also, they usually have strong character development. In 'A Certain Magical Index', the characters like Touma Kamijou grow and change as they face various challenges.
