      Oh, hey, I just found this thread months later, since I don’t hit the forums much and have no idea where else it was posted. Maybe you should have sent an email?

      That said, I am not at all happy about this. Now that Bookworm is pretty much done, without catchup titles to look forward to, it’s probably not worth the money for me any more. I kept the membership solely for catchup titles. Most of the series I follow aren’t ones I’ll miss once my year runs out. The ones that are, I would have bought anyway.

      So, yeah. Guess I’m off to see when my year expires.

      Hello,

      While we strive to offer all of our licensed series for rental that is not always an option.

      There is no specific date for when series that do not have a rental option will.

      If you wish to read the book your only option is purchasing the ebook.

      Apologies for the inconvenience.

      A tip for the suggestion jar is have the series tab remember if I toggled on the follow only option between uses. Every time I swap to releases or account it forgets that I had that toggled and goes back to showing me all books.

      Can we request features for the mobile app? If so, I’d like a way to see future releases like on the website and a way to access “recently read” titles, what with the reader’s library not needing rentals.

      @hirei I was more referring to the fact that at all the other conventions this year someone from the discord channel was at the panel in the audience who could either post picture or at least the titles of what was being announced live. This has typically allowed whoever on staff is managing the slide deck release for the discord to post the slides during the panel rather than everything just being dropped once the panel's scheduled time wraps up.

      I don't think anyone expects any official livestream of the event exactly due to wireless limitations at these events.

      Unfortunately there is nothing which I am really interested in. Might give S-rank adventurer and green thumb a try.
      I am not complaining. The last haul including the many OLNs were a lot that I am barely catching up each week.

      @topgnu As catch-ups are now going away. They probably won't update the site to remove them until tomorrow at the earliest.

      This is rare, all of the light novels in this batch suit my tastes.

      The manga My Death Defying Dog is great. I wish it was a light novel too, but I'm definitely going to follow it. (I'm a really big dog person. Well, I'm a person who really likes dogs, and I am very big. However I prefer small dogs, and the heroic dog is really cute.)

      @karasutengu said in May 2025 Catchups:

      DVDs

      Ah, if it's DVDs, then I can't buy them. I don't have an all-region Blu ray player and I don't want to buy one. So any DVDs I buy would be locked out of my region. I'm in the same region for Blu ray as the US but a different region for DVDs.

      H

      Dragon Daddy Diaries is adorable and complete.

      I've only read the LN for Water Magician but it's silly fun.

      Sexiled wasn't my cup of tea. It takes the misogyny to absurd lengths to make its point, but I suppose it's no more extreme than the over-the-top mistreatment of MCs in many other "banished from party" and "betrayed by party" LNs.
