Zero-2, a general LN discussion thread for newcomers is not going to be made because it would circumvent one of the purposes behind creating this forum. Let me explain. We created this forum for several reasons. One of them was the belief that the anime would bring in new readers.

Now imagine this scenario. You're a new reader. Let's say that you've read up through the 9 Schools Competition arc. You want to read about and discuss what you've read so far. You don't care if you learn about events, changes, whatnots from books you haven't read. You can visit anywhere in this forum. It's no big deal.

But let's suppose this scenario. You're a new reader. Let's say that you're read up through the 9 Schools Competition arc. You want to read about and discuss what you've read so far. However you DON'T want to hear about events, changes, whatnots from books you haven't read. Where do you go to avoid those future spoilers? A general discussion thread? Trust me, general discussion threads are a hot bed for spoilers. You wouldn't be safe there. The safest place to go is the thread dedicated to the 9 Schools Competition arc. Discussions about books later than the arc aren't allowed there. It's the LN equivalent of an anime episode thread in an anime forum. Spoiler aren't allowed.

So why not have both, you ask? A general discussion thread for those who don't care about spoilers and an arc specific thread for those who do? One, redundancy isn't encouraged here. Two, redundancy is confusing and very open to mistakes happening both by people who post and people who read.

For those reasons and others, we're staying away from general all-purpose discussions.
