Link Removed: Also links to licensed mangas.
Raw manga download sites are plentiful these days.
But what about light novels ("raito noberu" or "ranobe" for short)?
Contrary to the site URL, they do have a light novel section (updated
a few times a week).
If you don't know already, light novels are kind of a midway between manga
and novels. They are meant to be light reading and so the stories are
purposely kept very simple. They are illustrations randomly scattered
around (maybe every 50 pages or so).
The vocabulary level is FAR higher than manga, but still much easier
to grasp than a real Japanese novel. So if you've finished RTK and don't
find manga challenging enough, try reading a light novel.
Anyway, AFAIK, it's probably safe to say that these novels are unlicensed,
but I make no guarantees.
If anyone finds any similar sites, please let me know.
Thanks.
