Is the Classroom of the Elite worth reading or is it like the anime?

I would say its worth.

the hype is unjustified. the whole s1 and s2 doesn’t do justice for the light novel. comparatively, the light novel is 90% better than the anime. read the light novel, you wont regret it.

It's not. It has more content than the show, but the quality of writing and kind of material is the same. It's decent pulpy teen nonsense. If that's not what you're looking for, then avoid. You're not missing out on anything special.

what are u on, The quality of writing in the light novel is so different from the anime. The anime is simply a shitty adaptation. Literally, Ayanokoji writing in the LN had a lot of depths and one of the best I have seen while the anime is literally just edgy with lines that has never been said in the LN.

  Both can be true – the anime can be a bad adaptation (I agree with you there) and the writing in the LN can also be bad on its own. The story is pointless, the dialogue is cringey, and the characters are terrible. Kind of funny you call the anime out for being edgy when the LN isn't light in that department either.

Yes. Theres a reason why both the year 1 and year 2 are literally top 3 in the light novel format and both in top 20 Manga/LN in this site. The anime is a garbage adaptation dont let anyone tell u otherwise. Season 2 was so bad, they cut basically 80% of content available in the LN

idk about the light novel, but the anime is just a snooze fest. The only interesting things that happen are only present for like 2 episodes.

I recommend you read it and come to your own conclusions. And see if your question makes sense.
There are people who have never read the Novel and if they read it, it was probably not even a whole volume.
That's usually what I do. That goes for anything. If you read it, let us know what you think.

Welp depends, I dropped both
it was too edgy for me to endure it
if you enjoy edgy shows, then give the novel a shot, it may be pleasant for you.

Depends. In the light novel the protagonist is a pathetic, whiny, perverted scumbag.

In the Anime that characterization is completely altered by removing most of his internal dialog. The end result, for me at least, was that the LN ended up disgustingly unreadable.

Did we read the same Light Novel?
Because that is the worst description I've ever seen of Ayanokouji.

The Light Novel is so much better than the anime. The Light Novel's writing is 100x better than the anime's adaptation for it. It has much more content and depth to each character. You will not regret it if you decide to read it.

First off to most LN are worth reading especially if you liked the anime, movies, tv shows and whatnot are known for leaving things out and not fully adapting the entirety of the book and I find that to be a good enough reason to check out the source material.

And in COTE’s case it’s most certainly the case here as well (at least in my opinion) Ayanokoji is written in a more entertaining way than how he is presented in the anime, you get more of an insight into who he is thanks to his thoughts being on display (for the most part).

Honestly it’s stuff like this that makes me love reading, it gives you a better look into the characters, you feel like a mind reader (or a stalker) with the more closer inspection of the character’s lives.

Oh though Ryuen looks better in the anime imo too scrawny for a brawler type in the LN.

"Ayanokoji showed and said that he cares about his friends a lot and learning about emotions slowly through his friends which is sweet instead of anime where he flat out rejected Sato with "Youre not worth smiling for" when in the LN, he rejected her in a way that wont hurt her"

Definitely agreed on this. The show has changed his character a lot in this way, which is unfortunate. Really doubling down on the edginess when the story doesn't even need any more of it.

In the anime he said to her that he could not feel human attraction and never had for any one. The she is not worth smiling for was an internal thought. (still think that the anime is cringe tho lol)

I dont see how anyone who read the novel could disagree with me on that, literally one of the aspects of the novel where everyone should agree on unless u have 0 reading comprehension

    "Most random teenager thoughts" ? Did u actually read the novel or read the summary of each volume cos that is just straight out wrong. Plus, there are little to no edgy points. "Oh how is this topping charts, surely everyone else can not read and I CAN and im not the dumb one right? Surely everyone else is just so stupid". U just lack reading comprehension, simple as that.
