Yes, Baronh, which is the language the Abh speak, is a fictional language completely created by the author. Many people had exposure to this series from an old anime adaptation as well as an older English release of both the novels and the manga by Tokyopop.

Dungeon Busters, MC has a sexual relationship with his Ninja character card.

So just wanted to say that with the exception of the Morgan Trading Company story, all of the short side stories out so far fit in nicely to the existing novel. They provide a nice supplement for anyone who's been collecting all of this. The trading company story is the only one so far that doesn't slot in nicely, and that's mostly because that particular episode ends with them leaving in the main novel, so unlike all the other stories where there's a clear cut gap in the main story where they slot in, this one tries to slot itself into the end of the chapter.

The bonus stories from the first two volumes of the manga are my favorites ones out so far, I'm hoping that we'll either get a side story or a main story that goes into more detail about slime Tabuchi's tale since it sounds like it greatly impacted Ryoma.

@Bamgm14 said in After Pre-pub closes:

@Shiny I was thinking of buying the Prepub and was wondering if I would get the final draft as well. I understand the membership, while a neat perk, doesn't give u access to the final draft unless you preorder. Thanks for verifying tho

Just in case all of the above wasn't clear, I'll word it a little differently:

You can't buy the prepub at all.

What you buy directly from JNC is the Premium ebook (in DRM-free ePub format), which is the final version and often includes bonuses like textless illustrations or some of the bonus stories that the Japanese publisher provided to bookstores as a pre-order or first-day bonus.

In addition to the premium ebook, you also get the right to read the prepub version in a browser or app. That's just an extra feature, what you are buying is the ebook. If you buy a title directly from JNC before release that is a pre-publication-purchase of the ebook not the prepub.

Shin 5 should be next, actually. High School DxD DX. 7 "Your ancestors are tricksters?!" is considered to be Shin 4.5 and just released in March.

@RobD Sadly it seems unlikely, the publisher is basically dead, which is a shame they had some great series.
But the WN is comolete with only one more volume so good ol' Google Translate should be enough to read that.

@jpwong

thats probably the best answer im going to get from any of the forums i have requested infos from thanks mate it helps me alot to get closer to the chapter i need thanks again :D

@pcj Much like Her Majesty's Swarm, which got its next volume specifically because English-language sales were so strong, and which leveraged its overseas popularity in the marketing of V4.

@korppi That entire plot thread seemed to have vanished, much to Ashiya's relief. Still, I can see two three obstacles in the way.

Ashiya pretty much went back to Ente Isla for work. While Rika probably wouldn't have major issues following him, I got the sense that her family kind of expected her to stick around and help with the family business. While not expressly stated, I think we can assume that the "issue" that effected Maou would occur to any demon that developed romantic feelings for a human. Unlike Maou, using the same treatment on Ashiya would not be well received. I really don't think Ashiya was into Rika as she was into him.

ETA:

Chiho was always best girl and the frontrunner to land Maou. How can anyone complain? Chiho's end of story revelation kind of made it obvious that Maou would end up with both Emi and Sukano. Again, how can anyone complain? Both Emi and Sukano would have killed Maou for real if he broke Chiho's heart, especially after Emi removed the biggest reason why they couldn't be together.

The ending definitely felt more "end of part 1" rather than a satisfying conclusion for the series, at least to me...Sadly I don't think we'll ever get more.

I will just redirect you to our pinned post: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/3477/future-volume-release-schedule

If a series is caught up with the Japanese releases, whenever a new volume is released, the new volume needs to be licensed separately. Licensing can vary wildly in how long it takes, so we have no hard estimates on when the next volume will start streaming, sorry!

@dawnaxis Started reading the series but by the third book I was done. Karl is insane and seems to think the best solution to any problem is violence/murder. He's nothing but a barbarian and I came to actively dislike him. Even his wife fails to understand that her husband has, or is, losing/lost his mind. The first book was a nice break from the typical Japanese LN tropes but by the second book things start to go down hill, and the third is just garbage. Still, thanks for telling me about it.

@shipteaser Thank you for the information. Gonna jeep my fingers crossed then.😄

So I am coming at this from a irl perspective. I have 2 old friends.... no. I have one old high school friend and a former HS classmate that I am FB friends just for the delicious drama.
The friend is in a stable 6 person poly group that really works because none of them are bound to each other. They live in several different abodes, some shared, and balance spending time with each other vs adulting.

The drama boy is a effing con-man sleaze who convinces women that they love him and that open relationships are 'teh way'. He then leeches off of them, one at a time and moves from house to house to keep them from realizing he is such a bum. Until he messes up and has to do damage control to keep one angry woman from burning down his little scam.

Fiction wise, most are really bare bones slock without any effort put into fleshing out the members as more than just checkmarks to fill a kink list, ala Smartphone.

Hinata, from Naruto.

What can I say, I like them shy.

@jpwong Yeah, given the predictions of when the JP pub will finish up and where we are in relation to it, it'll finish up before we catch up.
