Another great example is 'No Game No Life'. It has a very Western - inspired concept of a world ruled by games, but the art style and the way the characters communicate and strategize are very much influenced by Japanese light novel traditions. The two main characters, Sora and Shiro, are presented in a way that is both relatable in a Western sense of competitiveness and also in line with Japanese ideas of family and loyalty.
Western Japanese style light novels usually have a distinct writing style. The language used can be a mix of Japanese simplicity and Western expressiveness. In terms of story settings, they might combine Japanese cultural backgrounds like traditional festivals or social hierarchies with Western - style landscapes or cityscapes. Also, the character relationships often show a blend of Japanese collectivism values and Western individualism, creating complex and interesting dynamics.
