Top 3 Reasons You Should Be Listening to Light Novel Audiobooks

We won’t lie, audiobooks are far more expensive than a regular novel.

Think about how much a voice actor might say during a typical anime season—now imagine them narrating an entire 50,000 word novel. That trickle-down price hits your wallet, making audiobooks at least twice the price of a regular light novel.

Love them or loathe them, Amazon has one of the best audiobook subscription services around, with Amazon Audible giving you credits each month that can be used to buy an audiobook. If you run out of credits, you can buy more, or simply purchase a book outright at a reduced price.

If you’d rather source your audiobooks elsewhere, Apple Books, Google Play Books, and Spotify have now all joined the competition, with varyingly different prices. You can also check out your local library, which might use OverDrive (or a similar digital service) that allows you to “checkout” an audiobook the same way you might take out a physical novel, completely for free.
