honestly as someone who read them long before the anime dropped, they were there but weren't getting as many manga adaptations. Now it's caught on more so and a bunch of LN are getting adapted.
one I really like, WataOshi (a yuri series that actually somewhat navigates social stigma of homophobia and struggles regarding internalized homophobia instead of just feeling like it was written by a cishet as wholesome purity bait and actively deals with a commoner revolution as the larger setting of the story portraying it in a very positive light, esp compared to its peers in the industry) was just recently adapted to manga and is currently being serialized, even though i read the web novel of it a bit before.
i'd gush about how based it is but it's major spoilers to discuss the finer details about how the revolution plays out and how it affects the characters.
though, since I'm gonna be vague enough not to spoil but want to hook people, i'd also like to say that there is a trans character in it that pops up sometime later in, also portrayed very positively.

i've been meaning to read that, and this only makes me more excited to finally get to it. once i'm done with harrow the ninth i'll start reading it.

that definitely gives it an edge over hamefura (though admittedly i didn't read far enough to get the trans character there)
