They're Japan's version of young adult novels and mostly targeted at high school & middle school students. So add "young" before adults and maybe it'll work.
They're pretty neat if you like reading since new volumes release every six to nine months. That's faster than most novel series in the west come out, even young adults ones. Plus the more popular ones get adapted into manga (comics) and anime. Fans of the series get to experience them in three different mediums when that happens.
Of course you need to be able to read Japanese to benefit from the faster release schedule...
