User blog:Koosha/Light Novels

I was at Popular Bookstore SG and saw some Shakugan light novels on the shelf. I suppose I was lucky since I decided to investigate more and found 'Index''s light novels staring back at me(cos I didn't think these books would be imported ^^") The only setback is that they are all Chinese translated versions; not something to be proud of since I don't think I'm really good with the Chinese language ^^" haha~just passable! ^^"''

Haha anyhow, there are currently 9 volumes there and they sell at various prices (not at a fixed amt; most probably either due to the thickness or chapters contained). They're going at $7 or more, with $7 being the lowest amt for a volume and $8 above the highest. I'd rather it being sold at a fixed price, with a fixed number of chapters~wouldn't that be better? o.o?

So why am I posting this here? ^^"

Well, just to share this little piece of news while I'm happy but still alittle skeptical about purchasing it(language and translation being a bit of concern, e.g would be its accuracy, etc.) Another is, that I very much would like to read it...so ok...I'd like some opinion from anyone who has read it. I don't have a problem reading from Wikipedia in Chinese so it shouldn't...be...a ...problem correct? (Perhaps I need a boost of confidence really...!!! ><" )

Btw, Is the story any different from the anime or manga? I only saw the anime and am looking forward to the latest season. But, there are alot of matters that I need elaboration on cos I missed the first few episodes so~yeah-heh! ^^" Hope I didn't miss much.

On the side note, I don't favour watching anime on illegal sites or reading manga in tht direction either so if you're thinking of recommending some sites, feel free not to!~ kehe!
