After all this talk, I'm just grateful we're getting official audiobooks at all. Five years ago, that was a pipe dream. The syncing will come. For now, I'll take professional narrations of my favorite stories in any form. Platform schmatform.
Lurking this thread because I've been wondering the same thing. Thanks for all the info, everyone.

Elina thought she had hit rock bottom.
She lost her job. Her therapy session dredged up memories of the ex-boyfriend who stalked and traumatized her. The only thing she had left to look forward to was the finale of her favorite fantasy series, Moonbound Faith.
Then the show ended.
The heroes won. The villain died. Everyone got their happily-ever-after.
That same night, a knock at her door shatters what little peace she has left.
Her ex is standing outside.
The man who was supposed to be in prison.
Forced to flee into a storm, Elina runs until she reaches the edge of a cliff with nowhere left to go. Faced with a choice between death and returning to the man who destroyed her life, she jumps.
But instead of dying, she wakes up inside Moonbound Faith.
Not as the heroine.
Not as a side character.
But as Luna—the infamous villainess whose tragic death she celebrated only hours before.
Determined to survive, Elina plans to use her knowledge of the story to change her fate. But everything she thought she knew begins to unravel when a small boy tugs on her sleeve and calls her one word:
“Mom.”
The original story never mentioned a child.
And when Elina uncovers the truth behind his existence, she realizes something terrifying.
The villainess was never the villain.
The story lied.
And the ending she remembers may not be the ending waiting for her at all.

Dropped Into a NSFW Novel and Immediately Became His Obsession

I woke up inside a novel, and not even as an important character.
I became a pretty background extra in a smut novel.
My brother, however, was the only normal person in the entire story.
His character setting was the one man the soft, delicate heroine could never win over.
He was the cold, unattainable Prince Charming she could never conquer.
When the heroine cried and confessed her love, he was studying.
When she offered him her whole heart and body, he was busy starting a company.
When she spiraled into scandals and nightlife, he was already a billionaire, calm and untouchable.
I thought he would live a quiet, ascetic life forever.
Until one night, I walked in on him at midnight…
holding a piece of clothing I recognized all too well, murmuring a name over and over, a name so familiar that my scalp tingled.
This feels like the next frontier, right? We have streaming for anime, digital for manga and novels, but a cohesive audio+text platform for light novels doesn't exist yet. Publishers are testing waters. I know Yen Audio is pushing out audiobooks for series like 'Mushoku Tensei' and 'The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy'. They're on Audible. But to get both, you'd buy the ebook from your preferred retailer (Apple Books, Google Play, Kindle) and the audio from Audible. No joint subscription or bundle I'm aware of. It's a hassle, and I wish a service like Scribd would just license the whole package.
I use Voice Dream Reader for audiobook versions of text-based novels, and its sync across iOS devices is perfect. I know the question was about reading, but if you consume light novels via text-to-speech while doing other tasks, this is a critical feature.
You can start listening on your phone, then continue from the exact same word on your iPad. It's a different mode of consumption, but for dense fantasy novels with long descriptions, listening can be a great way to get through them, and seamless sync makes it viable.
I'd trade sync for just having more official light novel audiobooks, period. The catalog is so small compared to regular fantasy or sci-fi. Every time I see a new one pop up on Audible, I get excited. I'll take a well-narrated audiobook by itself over a poorly implemented sync feature in a janky free app any day. Let's hope the success of anime adaptations drives more audio production.
Consider the platform, not just the app. If you're deep in the Amazon ecosystem (Kindle, Audible), use their apps and stick to titles available in both formats. If you're a Google person, use Play Books. Your choice of app is kind of made for you by where you buy your content. Interoperability between different stores is a fantasy.
Has anyone tried using Scribd? They have a selection of light novels, and their sync between web and app is supposedly very good, though I've only used it for audiobooks. For the monthly fee, you get access to their whole library, and the reading experience is modeled after modern app expectations. Might be worth a free trial to test the LN selection and sync feature.
