@Tube Yeah, but that's not up in the cycle of side books until after Fanbook 3.

Thank you for the heads up and what you said makes a ton of sense. It's unfortunate because I thought it was a great series. Nice character development compared to most titles out, character grind versus OPed from day one, enough fan service, and a nice balance between comedy and seriousness.

I hope the creator attempts to make a sequel one day.

@arghc Correct; the only discount comes from your subscription status, otherwise the cost per coin is consistent regardless of quantity.

@saffire We're kind of waiting to make a few other changes all at once to the app so it might be a little while but we'll definitely get to it (along with allowing purchases of coins etc IN the app).

Amazon just stopped allowing you to purchase within the Kindle app because they didn't want to give the app stores their cut.

I think JNC are in a pretty different situation to Amazon though. The app stores cut likely aren't much different to what Kobo, Bookwalker and Amazon themselves are taking for selling the books 3rd party. If they can bring more people over to buying direct by offering that additional payment method, that balances out.

Here's hoping it fixes also email notifications. 😋

I bought a lot of credits not to game the system but to hedge against the pound falling against the dollar (which it subsequently did).

Just a reminder that catchups will be changing next Monday! Better finish reading July's selection before they're gone!

@LegitPancake I have both vols from sol already, but I'm kind of tempted to buy them again!

Looks like topics that had polls previously are now properly displaying the polling again.

@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 :)

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.
