The only thing I hate about OPB is their print runs seem small since the manga goes out of stock at major retailers for a few weeks following release until more stock shows up.

Not sure how much farther the LN actually goes than the WN (not far from what I've heard), but sounds like it just stalls out around the time it should be getting ready to move onto the next major arc, so I'm guessing the author either got bored, or ran out of ideas about how to keep the whole thing going without having to reveal everything.

While I think this would be a semi nice read (since I've read the WN), it's probably only worth it if the series starts up again in Japan, or JNC can get it on the cheap as part of bundle.

@Ruby-Eye I don't think you need to cite a pirate site for the synopsis, especially since it's is just a bad (almost certainly machine) translation of the publisher's synopsis.

@mortcs It has a good story and is fun to read, though if we're going by the manga, there's the 'risky' stuff that might make it tougher to license. That didn't prevent Seven Seas from licensing the manga so one can hope...

There is one difference between the LN and the manga in that the manga is cagey about her actual age while the LN is clear about her being 10 (IIRC) at the start. OTOH, the manga art is a lot hornier.

Regaining the memories of his previous life, Cyril realised that he was an otome game's character, the villainous daughter Sophia's butler. At the rate things were going, Sophia would eventually have the prince stolen away from her by the heroine, fall into darkness, and be executed. Wanting to save the villainous daughter he was so fond of, Cyril moved to eliminate all the factors that would cause her to fall into darkness, raising her up to be a talented and beautiful girl who could win the prince's love, however...

@c933103 said in [French] Code Lyoko Novel:

@piisfun That certainly reduce the chance of official license but do anyone know what does the Wikipedia article mean by saying "It was confirmed that the series will never be released officially in English"?

The entire Wikipedia article is ....odd.
It's pretty clear that the folks who look at Wikipedia articles concerning compliance with Wikipedia's "Best practices" haven't looked at it, as it would be plastered with their notices concerning things that require revision.

So, basically, what that sentence means is that whoever put the article together believes that to be the case based upon what they came across at the fan translation site they reference for a lot of their information.

The phrase itself would never pass inspection by senior Wikipedia editors. There would be a major "Say what?!" slapped on it, asking for proper citing of sources for the statement as well as a rephrasing.

This looks neat!

This is actually the first novel apart of the "Utopia" project.

It's an intertwining project which consisted of 10 authors. Where each wrote their own stories and characters that existed in the same world.

The anime adaptation released today.

Based on comments from their recent stream, you'd be better off asking Yen Press to consider adding Campfire Cooking to their new imprint for J-Novel Club's titles than expecting JNC to print it themselves.

On the other side though, it's not likely to have a better sale because of the anime, most series need the prints to be already out when the anime airs to capitalise on seasonal viewers. The series will likely have drifted from their minds by the time any books could come out since the English book market requires 6+ months notice of books coming out if you want it carried in mass market stores.

As pinned in the forum, each suggestion should be its own topic.

Some of these already have recommendation threads.

Simply posting titles isn't particularly interesting. Offer descriptions of what they are and why they're worth looking at. Check out some of the other recommendations for examples.

I'll give this a bump since it seems interesting, but it looks like it may have stalled. Nothing's come out since vol 5 and even the syosetu web version stopped updating in 2021.
