Looks like Yen Press has now also rescued this:

@JeweledPoisonousButterfly
Yeah.
The main problem seems to be the need for cultural expertise for the translations when dealing with Korean and Chinese original (and the different nuances associated with the languages), and Korean has far less in common when it comes to character set.

Basically, they'd have to replicate their entire structure to add an additional Asian language, which is a major investment.

Given the 'recent' launch of J-Novel Nina (the Japanese to French/German EU Common Market initiative) I can't say it's inconceivable...just highly unlikely.

@Shiroi-Hane Thanks! I am only aware of the manga because of the bookworm and tearmoon reference.

This never got licensed, huh? For some reason I thought it did. Whelp, here's hoping if it's good.

It always helps to give at least the original name so people can look it up without having to rely on whatever scanlators are calling it (although in this case it is an official name). It sounded familiar and I have read some and enjoyed it enough to get 11 chapters deep at least. The first volume is actually out soon so I’ll at least put it on my wishlist but I don’t know if I’ll preorder.

This is スライム聖女, serialised on Isekai Young Jump (although half the chapters will be removed in a weeks time due to the volume’s release)

@GeorgeMTO said in The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!:

It's not technically dropped, Sam/Quarkboy/admin has commented on reddit that it's just weird contract limbo

I have insider info this is really just temporary, just waiting on a contract update to come in. No need to panic.

That's good to hear!
Thanks a lot for the info.

Yuri? I want this! There’s not enough of this genre on JNC

I remember watching the anime years ago and recently made a friend watch it. Of course I watched it with them just so I could hear their reactions. I would love to read the manga so I totally support this suggestion!

Pipirupirupirupipirupi!!

A chinese novel? It sounds really exiting.

@BloodyGaikotsu You got my vote and I just asked about this series myself!

It would be great to see it get picked up for an English Translation

@Geezer-Weasalopes Thanks for adding more information!

As of today, the Gentle Noble manga has been delayed again, making volume 8 a full year late. It makes me wish all the more that I had the light novel to look forward to as well. Especially with J-Novel Club's part by part releases, it wouldn't be such a crazy long wait, and there's plenty to catch up on. We're up to 18 volumes of the light novel after Misaki finally returned from a long break to care for her ill parents, plus two short story collections and a guidebook that I would kill to have translated!
