  I'm confirming that I will not have time to check out everything I wanted to this month.. but I'm loving Crest of the Stars so much, I think I'm gonna pick up a hard copy on my next shopping spend. I can see why it's not for everyone and that some of the original language stuff and sci fi jargon could put some people off... but if you like space opera type stuff and enjoy a dive into alien culture/politics/war/etc, definitely shouldn't sleep on this one. I have a familiar feeling with Spice and Wolf as well, although that's a different genre.

  Since everything else has gone up I wonder how long it will be before The Bloodline is uploaded to the site.

  The problem has been fixed! Fake Fake Princess v3 should now be available for download, and the other 3 books have been moved back to their original release dates. Thanks for your patience!

  @Caerold I believe this was already answered in the other topic, but for anyone reading this one, JNC does not have the rights to distribute our translations for Ichijinsha series in Japan, so Bibliophile Princess, Marielle Clarac, Bakarina, and Beast Head are unavailable to readers in Japan. We apologize for the inconvenience.

  @the-green-death said in August Catchups: Little Apocalypse, Otherside Picnic, and more!: After the first three parts I’m not feeling Otherside Picnic I like the first 3 volumes so far. At first it's a little unsettling, because there's too much that you don't know and it makes it hard to like the characters, but that gets solved fairly quickly. The story starts to flow better once you trust the characters a bit more, which I think is very real-life. The only thing I would fault the series for is that there seem to be two volumes of side stories before volume 4. Personally, I hate that, and I'm hoping that J-Novel picks up Volume 4 first, but that's just me.

  @LeftyHandCream As the comment a few slots up mentioned, because the 1st of the month falls on a weekend the shift to August catch ups will happen on Monday (today), that being said it is still very early in the United States, business hours have not started yet. Your patience is appreciated

  @Jason-Maranto I agree, the art-style doesn't seem to match the cover illustration, and personally I don't care for it.

  @lucascba said in April 2020 announcements!: Isn't Deathbound Duke's Daughter in hiatus since 2017 tho? @catstorm said in April 2020 announcements!: @lucascba seems that way which is why it is a pass for me unfortunately. Well, the story has been really good so far, so I couldn't care less about it (although it is a little bit sad, that this series probably won't continue). It wouldn't stop me from reading it.

  In case anyone isn't quite sure when exactly catchups are going to switch over, I'll do them first thing in the morning, which will be 12-13 hours from this post.

  Regarding these sorting issues: I encourage people to report issues with the forum functionality (not appearance or styles or anything JNC-specific) to the authors of the forum software here: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues . I will try to make time to look in to such issues, but I would have to spend a decent chunk of time getting familiar with a completely new codebase when I already have many other site issues to deal with, so I can't guarantee non-critical complaints will be addressed quickly. For anyone who does want to report these issues, we have the following setup: NodeBB v1.13.2 with the following active plugins: nodebb-plugin-composer-default Installed 6.3.21 | Latest 6.3.21 nodebb-plugin-dbsearch Installed 4.0.7 | Latest 4.0.7 nodebb-plugin-emailer-mailgun Installed 1.0.3 | Latest 1.0.3 nodebb-plugin-markdown Installed 8.11.0 | Latest 8.11.0 nodebb-plugin-mentions Installed 2.7.4 | Latest 2.7.4 nodebb-plugin-ns-spoiler Installed 7.0.0 | Latest 4.1.0 nodebb-plugin-poll Installed 0.3.3 | Latest 0.3.3 nodebb-plugin-session-sharing Installed 4.6.5 | Latest 4.6.5 nodebb-plugin-soundpack-default Installed 1.0.0 | Latest 1.0.0 nodebb-plugin-user-css Installed 0.0.1 | Latest 0.0.1 nodebb-plugin-write-api Installed 5.5.5 | Latest 5.5.5 nodebb-rewards-essentials Installed 0.1.2 | Latest 0.1.2 nodebb-theme-persona Installed 10.1.34 | Latest 10.1.34 nodebb-widget-essentials Installed 4.0.18 | Latest 4.0.18
