@zing said in After 2 years Author of The Magic in this Other World is Too Far Behind! is starting Brand New Series under GC Novels:

Hmm, considering how his other work devolved into a typical isekai with dense harem protagonist.......... I'll pass on this one.

Yeah, it started out clever and original, but I was annoyed enough by the last couple that I just read the prepubs instead of buying them.

Chunni spirit, lolis, harem, random yelling, slapstick comedy . . . not the series I signed up for.

Well, "end" as in "transition to after story", and since we're not far off from there being more "after story" than "main story", it's really all just "story".

@raitoiro said in Odd book cover for Lazy Dungon Master Vol. 7:

not a tail

might be odd artistic choice, or not a tail, or the punchline in a joke we read about in chapter 13 or whatever

but yea, on creatures with spines the tail is an extension of the vertebrae, the base of the tail would be anterior or 'above' the pelvic bones

@timmaaah I am hoping the translate the main novel first.

@paul-nebeling I’m glad I’m not that was the first light novel that got me into light novels so I’m excited for it

@terabyte Square Enix should probably be added to that list since they recently announced their entry into the Manga/LN English Publishing Market.

Square Enix - July 05, 16:00 PDT / 23:00 UTC

@crimson-wise That's what made me hope the author is planning to bring her back. Was like a teeny cameo just teasing Miledi fans

@renofury
Clockwork Planet almost matches

light novels featuring steam clockwork powered aircraft, vessels and armoured vehicles. With a war and politics theme

@jon-mitchell Yeah I was speaking of that one, I didn't expect JNC to pick it up hours later tho ^^

@an4th vol 7-9 and 13 will probably be 10part one or more because they are so long
And part 11 is the shorter one maybe less than 8 hum

@tgquan67

one can dream....

So excited! I’ve read the first two volumes of “A Sisters” and have the third but will switch over to digital as I don’t hold onto any paper editions. It’s a very funny series.

I hope whoever has the rights to Rokka open it up to digital too. Really want to read past vol 2

@Claire-Lilly @Clarabelle I do like my female MCs, but not all ones with male MCs are terrible by any means. I find a big thing (though not the only thing) for quality is having a good gender-balanced cast, though.

I won't spend money on a book I can't read.

The only exception I can think of is the Onegai Twins fanbook I bought last year. That was, I believe, the only Onegai Series paperback that didn't get an English release. And it was mostly illustrations anyway.

I don't think there's really any set answer for that. If the series is selling well, the publisher is going to print more book same as anywhere else. Amazon is going to order stock and they'll sell it as long as they have that stock. So how long a book or series is going to be available depends on how much stock amazon has, how fast people are buying that stock and whether the publisher is printing more books.

I'm buying all the bookworm raw on Kindle from amazon.com. TO Books, the publisher of the bookworm is rare among the Japanese publisher to publish their Japanese e-books outside of Japan. I've been asking other publisher too whenever I get a chance, but so far, no other publisher is able to do that.
Not even other LN publishers.
