Last time I watched a lot of anime (I think 2006~2008ish?) animesuki's manga&lns section was mostly about mangas. I think LNs adapted into anime were a lot rarer too? Or I only remember the quality stuff (FMP! Crest of the Stars, Seirei no Moribito, Stein's Gate, etc), so I was pretty eager to try any adapted LN.
Nowadays it seems every season there's a never ending stream of harem LNs adapted in anime. It seems to have become the primary anime material in fact. Looking at the manga&lns section there's not even 5 manga threads on the first page. In fact there seems to be more threads about unpublished stuff posted on a fanfiction-like website, if I understood correctly? than mangas. There's 4 subforums and none of them are about mangas.
I'm kinda wondering why that is, since images need no translation so mangas are a lot less dependant on translator's quality, and secondly they're a lot easier to read. How'd it come to that?

When and why did light novels become so popular?
