[Request] Add a Separate Section for Novels/Light Novels

[ElectricalJellyfish]

Title of the thread says it all. It would be useful to have a separate section for light novels that separates them from manga. At this point there are enough LNs and WNs on the site to justify having them separated from manga.

Here are some of the problems I've noticed with LNs and WNs not being separated in their own database.

• Light novels are getting attached to the "If you like this manga you might like..." rec list and diluting the value of the tool for those looking for manga (and vice versa).
• Duplicate titles for both light novels and manga are bloating results when searching, and the [light novel] and [web novel] tags being applied inconsistently to adaptations means that searching by tags isn't always reliable (see for example https://www.anime-planet.com/manga/...iei-danjite-shijou-saiaku-no-maou-nado-wa-nai).

Apologies if this request has already been made. I looked in the forums before posting, but sometimes people miss things :)

Duplicate titles for both light novels and manga are bloating results when searching, and the [light novel] and [web novel]

This shouldn't really be an issue as you can filter out or filter to what you want to remove the adaption or novel depending what your looking for. Tags that exist that you could use to do this are;
[Based on a Light Novel], [Based on an Anime], [Light Novel], [Web Novel], [Based on a Web Novel]

the [light novel] and [web novel] tags being applied inconsistently to adaptations means that searching by tags isn't always reliable (see for example https://www.anime-planet.com/manga/...iei-danjite-shijou-saiaku-no-maou-nado-wa-nai).

If you find this happen please report it in the appropriate place here https://www.anime-planet.com/forum/forums/manga-submissions.106/ and it will be fixed immediately, its a simple misclick mistake.

Your post makes it sound like this happens alot but its not that frequent otherwise database moderators would come across it more often. Unfortunately these mistakes are very hard to find so we can only hope people report them. I have fixed your provided example.
