Should Light Novels and Visual Novels get their own sections?

[Ryllharu]

The main reason to do this would be to make things more organized. When I or Xel start making light novel or VN threads, it would be much easier to navigate if they all belong in a separate section instead of having to search for threads one by one.

That's the entire point of the category-prefix in the thread title. It's really easy to find all the VNs or light novels by searching for the term "VN:" or "Light Novel:"

Try it with "Game:" searching by Thread Titles only. It's super easy. You get every game thread in General Discussion.

That thought process lead me to proposing this section to be honest. Due to the way how light novels are translated it is possible to discuss them after each chapter's release - compared to the traditional books(for example discussing Mistborn after each chapter would be way more awesome than discussing it after you read the whole book)

I prefer to read entire volumes. Baka-Tsuki's App is particular unhelpful in that regard. It is impossible to check if a volume is complete. I check on the website before I download parts of any given series.

In fact, a "chapter release" doesn't really work for Light Novels to begin with. Series are translated all out of order. The most common is seeing volumes done simulatenously. The 2nd chapter of three different volumes gets done nearly at the same time, then the 4th chapter of those volumes, then the 3rd, then the 5th, etc.
