I wasn't sure about this book at first, because what a niche subject it is, I wasn't sure how good of a how-to guide there could be for it without seeming too hackneyed or pigeonholed into particular tropes- but after looking into the author, I learned that he put 3 years of research behind this book and that gave me a lot more faith in checking it out.
He goes over Japanese Light Novel style writing and tropes, Chinese Webnovel writing, and Korean Webnovel writing. Very informative- for instance, I always liked Wuxia from a distance, but this book really gave me a boost of information and awareness of the genre (and inspired me to get more into reading Chinese novels in general.) Japanese Light Novel tropes don't always vibe with me, so in reading this book, I was surprised that as a writer I more naturally gravitate towards the style of Chinese Webnovel tropes.
This is a book with a lot to offer- probably more than you're looking for, in fact, as I didn't really need to go over some sections, such as LitRPGs, and that's fine- even without reading the sections for genres you lack interest in writing, there's still a wealth of context and knowledge to be gained by reading the sections pertaining to what you -do- have interest in. The technical approaches of "Scene Blocking" and "Duel" writing are very intuitive and inspiring approaches that allow you to use simple yet modular methods to guide you to create consistently exciting and compelling scenes.
This was a lot of fun to read, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to write and enjoys Anime, Manga, jRPGs or Visual Novels, and wants to write anything that evokes those kind of feelings.
