While we're on the AnK train, anyone read the translated light novels? I'm really interested in the world (yes, like reading Playboy for the articles ;) ) but after the Vampire Hunter D novel I read, I don't have high hopes for translations.

I've only read some of the first volume, but from what I can remember it was... sort of awkward, mostly in a stylistic kind of way. It wasn't terrible to the point where it was incomprehensible, but it felt as though the translation was trying to keep a lot of the original lyrical aesthetic and it wasn't quite making the leap from Japanese to English so it just read weirdly at times.

Having said that, a lot of the first volume is pretty dense with exposition and explanations of the world/society/politics etc. so that in itself might make the reading more awkward than more pacey scenes later on.

I have the first two volumes but I've yet to read them.

(fwiw, I also find the dystopian setting intriguing.)

I have up to the fifth, need the sixth, but apparently the last two novels were translated by a different company that decided to take liberties with the text (like cutting entire pivotal scenes).

To be honest, there is a LOT more worldbuilding in them, and the yaoi almost seems to take a backseat because of it. The style is flowery and can be hard to get through if you don't like the overwrought, almost Victorian style of writing, but it does flesh out the world quite a bit.

I still vastly prefer the first OAV series, though.
