@jampodevral said in Why does J novel seem to be losing volumes?:

I have found several series that I did not have time for when they started due to IRL issues, that are now staples of my JNC life.

I've found several series I liked through the prepubs and monthly catch-up, ones that I'd never have bought blind.

I've also saved myself money by reading enough of a volume to discover <Wataru> It's! Just! Not! My! Cup! Of! Tea!!!!!!!!!!!! </Wataru>

Let’s not make this personal, keep it on the facts of the topic, not on anyone personally.

Just released Episode 9! Thanks again to everyone and anyone who is still following the story, and to those who are new. Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read my work, I really appreciate it truly. <3
Next Episode, "Episode 10: Nu" Look forward to it!! :)

@thefirstpunicwar Yeah the fights now are are just characters screaming increasingly longuer and cringyer as the series go on.

I was also thinking of at least finishing the series ,since it's one of the first LN I read, but I took a look at what's been released in Japanese and most new volume look like fillers. So I think I will stop at vol 16 for now.

@lighthawk96 I don't read Ms Elf, I'm talking about Potions.

On the Orphen books, I believe the translator mentioned recognizing the quality drop as finally hitting too many simultaneous projects. That's why they handed the title over to a new translator.

If you find another 5000 fans who are willing to buy it digitally, it will increas the chances of a print release by a lot.

@Terrence
If it is then that's too bad. It really is a good story base. The really good ones end way too soon.

It has unfortunately not been licensed, so there is no official translation. Digging around a bit, it looks like there are fan translations for several of the volumes online, but I don't think that we're allowed to post links to that sort of thing here.

Sorry, my knowledge of history is quite limited. I saw a thread here that was speculating what historical events the author used as inspiration for the book, so you might want to check that out.

@LegitPancake Thank you so much for the information!

I can see why JNC might not want to show 'how the sausage is made' but without revealing too much they could:

show a list of top 10 sales by title/volume show a list of top 10 most viewed prepub volumes show a list of top 10 sales by series

How do I report errors I see in pre-pubs?
