      @saidahgilbert said in Get Away for the Summer with July Catchups!:

      I just finished volume 1 of The Great Cleric and was pleasantly surprised. The anime almost lead me astray with its portrayal but the story is more palatable as a novel than as an anime to me. So I will continue reading the books (and hopefully finish before month's end) and stop watching the anime.

      That happens way too often. Off the top of my head:

      Abilities Average - dropped the best part of the humor, of Mile believing she's cleverly convinced everyone that's she's perfectly normal, replaced it with stupid gags of her flying into a rage. Also skipped one of the best early arcs, the hunter school Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear (both seasons) - speedruns the content, skipping a lot of the humor, depth, and the quieter bits with Yuna and the kids. They even messed with the picture books. Smartphone - skipped a lot of the content where Touya was training, learning, and building things ahead of time to somewhat earn his OPness Death March - did a poor job of conveying that Satou's main goal was to have fun as a tourist and take care of his wards, not be a hero or solve the world's problems Master of Ragnarok - made it seem like the MC's only skill is looking up things on Google

      I've reached the point where I hesitate to watch the anime for a LN I enjoy since I expect to be annoyed by the changes and cut content.

      I just finished volume 4 of Zero Believers.

      and now Volume 5... and half that stuff I gushed about it got tossed on its head. But the writing style is still fun, and I'm enjoying the hell out of reading it.

      I managed to finish volume 7, so I made it in time. Volume 9 is current, but Volume 8 is still in pre-pub until July 17, so I have a couple weeks to catch the rest of the way up.

      Were the answers supposed to be from the same series? Oops. I just combined random series, powers, and people. If read as a story, I don't think mine would make sense either.

      Nah there wasn't anything we were supposed to do, though I (think I?) tried to make my answers within a given week at least semi-coherent. I just had a thought at the end like "huh, now what would happen if I smushed all these weeks together..."

      @Aruseus493 I had a similar idea, go to a slow life isekai series like By the Grace of the Gods so you can go to a world that's very drama free and get the skill from I Will Survive Using Potions so I can have a life free from hardship and have anything I want at my fingertips

      I managed to get through everything that I really wanted to read this last month.

      I have observed that if I manage to read all catchup series I am interested in before the end of the month, the new ones are released on the 3rd or 4th of the month. When I am struggling for time to finish a volume or two, the new monthly catch-ups arrive on the 1st crisp.

      I may have gotten to sleep really late for me because I wanted to finish Volume 2 of Deathbound Duke's Daughter....

      @myskaros will grieving souls volumes flow uninterrupted up to the latest jp volumes? Hoping for weekly updates to parts with the typical 2 weeks between volumes. If not, can i know the schedules for it?

      There is always only one answer to that question.

      So I've bought all of By the Grace of the Gods, and have just finished Volume 6.
      I'd have to look through my various files where I've kept track of my reading progress to be sure, but I believe I was reading the fan translation at one time; Volume One was just too familiar in too many ways.

      ETA:
      Finished.
      Eagerly awaiting the licensing of Volume 12, released in Japan in late 2022...

      @Windsagio I have two categories for JNC series I follow - the ones I buy, and the ones I keep as prepub only.

      Bookworm, Apothecary Diaries and Dahlia in Bloom are examples of the former. These are series I really enjoyed and will definitely read again.

      The latter category mostly includes manga includes those books I either won't read again, or simply didn't like enough to justify the purchase. My funds are also limited, unfortunately... .

      As for buying the Japanese versions, well, I don't do that very often, just with a couple of series as shipping can be expensive. Right now, the only ones I'm actively buying are manga (My Happy Marriage's special editions and Shoukoku no Altair, both of which get like one book per year) and the Honzuki junior bunko.

      My Happy Marriage is also a strange example in that I'm getting the English novels but the Japanese manga... perhaps it's because the setting, but that one just feels like I have to read it in Japanese ahaha.

      @endoftheline That actually was set up, even if only in passing back near the start of the series.

      "You'll need language and crafting skills. I can also throw in some fighting skills for your self-defense. As a tradeoff, you'll have the bare minimum in magical ability, but you won't need it for day-to-day life anyway. What do you think?"
      "Sounds good to me."

      Admittedly, the actual combat skill he ended up with would seem rather disproportionate to its description...

      Sounds like if you get to the JNC booth at AnimeNYC early enough they're gonna have some stuff on sale you can't normally get your hands on these days.

      @Geezer-Weasalopes

      I'm looking forward to Volume 5 of Redefining the Meta at the VRMMO Academy.

      I might re-read the first 4 volumes now that they are on catch-up.

      Hooray for rescues!
