Updated the OP to version 0.26.3.

This version contains a bugfix for the broken 'exclude insert images' option.

It also adds new content from the manga volumes P2V12, P3V6, and P4V7, as well as Fanbook 8.

Fanbook 8

During Myne's Nap - set in P2V3 during the spring prayer. I think it goes after Ambush, in the same gap as The Ambush and the Charm. Since Rosina's chapter ends a little after this one does - with Myne waking up at the end of it - I think Nap would go before Charm.

Bertilde's The Work of an Apprentice Noble - Set at some point during the preparations for the Battle of Ehrenfest, and definitely before Rozemyne was preparing to storm Ahrensbach. Though I didn't spot anything I could tie to a specific event. Looking for the best gaps in that section, I think between Preparing for War and Kamil's Baptism is probably the best spot, as there's a timeskip between the two chapters filled with Rozemyne brewing for the upcoming fight.

Rozemyne and the Knife - Ferdinand is said to be making the knife during Preparing for the Harvest Festival, and Rozemyne uses it in The Night of Schutzaria, but I don't know where she received it between those two chapters. Though it has to be before she left for the Harvest Festival, in Hasse's Harvest Festival. And with Preparing, Hasse's Contract, and Starting Merchant Activities all running on into each other, I think after Starting Merchant Activities is the best spot for it.

Hannelore's How It Turned Into Ditter. I couldn't spot anything in here that wasn't already covered by Careless Mumbles Lead to Ditter, so I don't think the omnibus needs this one.

@arghc IIRC, Otto was present when Benno talked about his suspicions all the way back in P1.

The day is upon us

And so Rauffen played "Knock sense in the idiot" Ditter...

Ah poor Wilfried, he had to stay behind and not see the glorious victory of Ehrenfest over the Ditterlanders...

@Flamesz-0
As a rule of thumb J-Novel Club do not comment on when a series will start pre-pubs before a discussion thread is made or it is added to the series page.
Past performance is not necessary an indicator of future performance. Each license is an individual negotiation.
It will start eventually.

I am familiar with j-novel not commenting. I am just launching some speculation into the ether to satisfy my thirst for more bookworm.

And I understand that each licence might need to be negotiatied seperately, and of course have no idea about how those discussions are held or are going. But I have some hope that after around 40 volumes there's some rapport between j-novel club and TO books that would help it go smoothly.

@cureClover

Hi,

It is not a bother to me. That is what I am here for.

We received an email much to the same effect. It has already ben forwarded internally.

@tanteiokuoku said in Bookworm audiobooks:

Hey where can I find the audiobooks for part 2? I have all of them for part 1 currently and I really want part 2 where the anime needed to cut more

To my knowledge there are no audio-books in English out at this time for part 2. Here is a comment made by an individual on Reddit last year:
"In March one of the J-Novel Club staff said "Gonna be quite a while before Part 2 V1." I imagine that the original contract was for part 1 to see if the audiobooks would be profitable and then the narrator's contract would have to be renegotiated to continue."

I suggest you pose your question to the JNC staff on the Bookworm Audiobook forum.

@Eriktonnesen the information is mostly all of there already... in little bits and pieces across multiple threads in this forum and on Reddit. Quof talked about his process a lot as it was happening, and some of the names were even hashed out with community participation in the forum (usually retroactively after people took issue with the original choice).

Ferdinand and Soup ...You know, for all the times we've seen Ferdinand's real fake smile, I think that's the first time we've seen his fake real smile!

For Lady Rozemyne
Monika: If I'm going to be embarrassed, I'm taking all the rest of you attendants down with me!

Though [Lessy] looks a tad - well, a lot - more freakish.

I guess Rozemyne really is the only woman around that's into that, huh?

Monika: "So, you're saying, if the High Bishop robes get damaged, the Archduke has to buy Rozemyne a new set?"
Fran: "Put away the scissors, Nicola."
Monika: "...I was only gonna teach the Aub's Son to juggle..."

"Lady Rozemyne's vengeance is something else. She won't punch or kick you,"

I mean, I wouldn't put it past her. She just wouldn't be much good at it...

@b-scot-morgan The way I see it, Rozemyne dislikes the whole idea of having absolute command over someone else and doesn't want to damage the reputation of her retainers by making it public that a lot of them came from the families of executed criminals; so she avoided mentioning namestones as much as she could.
The purge and the big wave of nameswearing came right after Rozemyne used Schutzaria's shield to save house Dahldolf, so Hannelore assumed that the criminals had to pass through the shield to prove their loyalty.

@Kilrothy Nope, sorry; We don't get told when things are going to be translated until they get added to the release calendar - usually 1-7 days before the first section is released in pre-pub.
