I used to read a lot of LNs, but not so much now. Do you have any reliable online sources?

....No.
I do not have sources for affordable LNs online unless you keep up with the prepublish chapter on J-Novel club. Which I do for some LNs.
The thing with that is that when an LN is released elsewhere the chapters are removed shortly after.
So everything I don't keep up with I end up having to buy the ebooks. It's a problem.

J novel costs per month.

But if you want light novel ebooks Bookwalker has the best deals.

If you want physical copies it depends on what country your in. In the US there are basically two places with the best prices online to get LNs. I prefer Alibris of the two. They unfortunately don’t carry every Light Novel but they have a good selection.

@momogari well, it depends, if you read elsewhere the LN, you can work a little extra, saving the webpages, and then copy and paste the text into a text document ( Writer from Libre office is a great choice for it and better alternative for Micro$$oft ) hehe
also yes @Ojisams if you do like to support the industry, and have better translations than Fan-editors can do ...
Buying the digital copies, ( for space saving) or the printed editions ( which usually are few volumes behind the Digital editions) Year subscription for J-Novel.club is a good choice too. the premium is a bit expensive , but it reward you with a monthly token that you can buy their digital copies to DOWNLOAD as e.pub file ( not compatible with Amazon e-readers...). if you do not mind to have a "physical" File, ... then (Global) Book-Walker must be the best choice. ( you can ONLY read what you buy on their App, or by the web browser) but their -Coins back promotions- for the fewer initial volumes, and so are a great option to cut in expenses.
hehehe

then, yeah, everything depends on you. but a web-search- give you some free -with the Corso patent- alternatives ...

Thankyou for the info. TBH I never thought to check out e-reader sites but I will now.

I started a new series a few days ago. I've been reading quite a bit of it. I'm about a third of the way through the 5th LN. There are 10 published in English so far.

Reincarnated as a Sword

I like it, the MC is strong, but there are plenty of others and monsters who are stronger. I suppose it makes the story interesting. The main character is a sword, but it's wielder is basically a main character too, but the isn't from her point of view, normally always the main character but it has switch to other characters, but typically to the new villains. Sometimes others as well but never the swords wielder.

Made a start by looking at J-Novel Club, which has a monthly subscription and offers both digital and physical copies for sale.
