$20 is market price for novels where you are?! Are we talking regular novels (paperbacks) or niche things like light novels/manga where the price is often higher because the number sold is often less?

Not paperbacks, no, and those generally aren't first releases, but hardcovers and more specialty stuff like graphic novels, yeah.

Most of the light novels released by the same company are around $13-14 and are considerably thinner than these, the price seems fair to me. These aren't intended to be cheapy trade paperbacks.

It's a perfectly reasonable price when you consider that the companies have to pay people to translate the novels and then have other people edit them, it's not like they can just license and publish them.

Novels are about $30-40 paperback where I am, and $30 in my currency is just over $20 US. After a while you'll get much cheaper knock-off versions of popular books, but if the book isn't that popular you're out of luck unless you see it in a sale bin.
