@myskaros was just checking the forums to see what was up. Thanks for the advanced warning even I was blind to it until now 😂

Hope everyone at the convention has time to enjoy it while they are there and it's not all fun-filled work.

gosh, if I didn't need a reason to buy premiums from J-Novel site before now...
I know not all 'missing' titles are JNC's but, I just don't see a compelling reason to buy from bezos when there is an alternative that is both cheaper and better. now we just need a wiki /article /FAQ on how to use calibre and sideload JNC premiums to Kindle hardware (or Ipad) for those folks that aren't already doing that...

Here are our new licenses from Anime Boston!

... but can we place a limit on main characters who are dressed all in black? ...

And on characters named Aisha or any abbreviation of it. I start mixing them up. Is that the most beloved name of Japanese authors or what? (this is not just JNC titles, but across all English light novel releases. There are so many I get confused).

I read both parts of 4 of the new novels, they seem promising. Let's see where it goes from here :)

@piisfun said in 2022/05/19 - Forum Maintenance Downtime (complete!):

Had fun learning the strange sequence of inputs to enable developer mode on an Android device to figure this one out...

Not sure if this would help at all for ease of future css locating, but you could always open the forum in a normal desktop browser and use the mobile layout in the developer tools to simulate a mobile browser if you know what width and height you want to use.

This contest is over, and you can check out the winning entries on Twitter!

@xdrfiredogx Haha indeed, it's the perfect descriptor for the likes of Epic Movie or Meet the Spartans.

To parody isekai you have to be an isekai of course so I can't guarantee it'll be for you. That's the beauty of the catchups of course though. I have several series I'm now purchasing premiums for that I wouldn't even have considered buying if they were from another publisher. I'd say the first 4 or 5 parts of volume 1 would give anyone a pretty clear idea whether it's to their tastes or not.

@bfennema Nothing announced, someone asked in the discord on Friday though

myskaros: We're working on it, but we aren't able to start streaming it yet.
eMPTy: Unfortunately, the only answer we can give is when everything's in place for it to happen

You've got about a week and a half to finish reading April's catchups! May catchups will be coming on Monday, May 2, around 10 AM PDT/1700 UTC!

@jpwong
Thanks! Yes, my app is indeed new version, updated Dec 5.

@georgemto same for by the grace of god, Seirei Gensouki and the other 2 seasons of bookworm ? The first one being the light novel and the 2nd season being the manga. They usually started right before or right after the new season. So either April or May. I buy them anyways as in my opinion bookworm is easily the best light novel period.

@harin-sadu-zvitmak

Hello,

Yes, please refer to the following page,

Thank you

Starting in about an hour and 40 minutes!

I wholeheartedly recommend Slightly Older Girlfriend.

Sorry for the late reminder, but catchups will be changing on Tuesday, February 1, around 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST / 1900 UTC! One day it'll all be automatic, but until that amazing future arrives, you'll have to continue dealing with manual switchovers that are affected by meetings and vacation and forgetfulness and all that jazz ;o

I recently noticed the newer Part 3 and Part 4 volumes of Bookworm on OverDrive, so I was checking to see where I left off and the missing middle volumes hasn't changed.

I thought I'd ping in here that the corrections haven't happened yet. I'm satisfied so long as they're still planned to be looked into - they're quite worth the wait.

I'd also like to note that the "series" tagging on OverDrive is inconsistent -
If I search by creators: Miya Kazuki, You Shiina, or Quof they all seem to come up
example: https://www.overdrive.com/search?q=Miya Kazuki
If I search by series, there are several different tags that don't bring up all the books
ex:
Ascendance of a Bookworm
https://www.overdrive.com/series/ascendance-of-a-bookworm
brings up 4-1, 4-2; manga v6
Ascendance of a Bookworm, Part 1
1-3, manga 1-2, 1-3, 1-5
Ascendance of a Bookworm: Part 2
v1 and v3
Ascendance of a Bookworm: Part 2 [looks identical to prior]
v2
Ascendance of a Bookworm, Part 3
https://www.overdrive.com/series/ascendance-of-a-bookworm-part-3
v5

Somehow the main OverDrive site, as opposed to the specific one for my library, has different results on these series searches for some of them, so I just linked the ones with the odd behavior on there.
I can imagine that someone trying to follow the series through the OverDrive app exclusively may get quite confused trying to figure out where the rest of the books in the series are if they're not trying to search by author. I'm sure this has to do with OverDrive being a bother in the backend, but since it hasn't already been reported I thought it might help.

Thanks for all your hard work publishing these books!

I'd been dubious about A Very Fairy Apartment, but a couple of days ago I said to myself, I said, "Hey. It's free just now."

What a lie that was.
It's only "free" if you don't go out afterwards and purchase the whole series...

I think my dubiosity was a result of being a major fan of Rokujouma, and somehow having a block on the idea that there could be other Worthy Works with a bunch of goofballs invading someone's apartment.
Dunno.
Whatever my concern had been, it was totally bogus.

A Very Fairy Apartment is very silly, and very well done.

Sorry for the late reminder, but catchups will be changing on Wednesday around 1000 PST/1800 UTC, so finish reading your picks before then!

@sam-pinansky That is disappointing :( At least my credit limit I guess gets to be happy.
