Did you even read the article? churn animated stories? WTF has that do do with an article about fiction books - NOT manga? or even anime?

  You realize most of those stories were originally books? They turn books to mangas and then to animes.

    No, not all start as light novels. In many cases the light novels come afterwards as a way to capitalise (eg Demon Slayer, the manga finished a while ago, so while the anime is still running light novels are coming out). Apothecary Diaries started as a light novel, but JJK, AoT and many others start as Manga

      Also, the article is about animes as well. Makato Shinkai’s She and Her Cat is an anime, not a book, for example. It talks a lot about books, but it isn't only about books. I thought that was obvious. > No, not all start as light novels Many are though, many of the animes that came out for a few years I had already read the LN for. That so many novels becomes animes is likely a big reason why there are so many novels being written along those styles.
