List of Original English Light Novels

(Updated 10/26/17)

Since VicsLab.com is a community for original English light novel (OELN) fans, I want to share a list of published OELNs I'm aware about. They include books associated with VicsLab.com as well as self-published books. Since most of these books are self-published, finding them are much more difficult than finding Japanese light novels translated into English, so I hope this list is useful to you. The criteria for including these books were if the author considered them a light novel or if they appeared to be inspired by Japanese anime, manga, or light novels. They also must be published as an ebook or in print and be available to buy from an online retailer such as Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

If you don't know what a light novel is, they are usually short books popular in Japan that are easy to read, focus mostly on dialogue, and often contain a few pages of manga style art. Many light novels in Japan are made into manga and anime. Original English light novels are books that are similar to Japanese light novels but are originally written in English.

Below is a comprehensive list of original English light novels and author name. Links go to their corresponding Goodreads page if available. The first part of the list are books associated with VicsLab.com (published, distributed, or sponsored). The second part of the list are books that are self-published. They are in alphabetical order by name (excluding the articles "a" and "the." Only the first book in a series is listed.

If you know of any OELNs that I should add to this list, please comment below.

      We are fine with authors mentioning their books as long as it’s a light novel and they interact with the community. As for your story, I could not find an ebook or print version, so I will not include it on the list. You are welcome to post your story on our site for feedback if you haven’t done so already.
