@schuburner Oh, okay. What a pity… I really thought it was some kind of error. But thanks for investigating it.

@Rahul-Balaggan thanks, I can download the book now.

The content.opf file lists the book title as "Ascendance of a Bookworm: Short Story Collection Volume 2".

Yeah, downloaded the book from my library and when I dropped it into the Books app on my mac, I was like WTF...

Just downloaded it again (05/23/2025 21:00 CDT) and the content.opf is fixed, but the toc.ncx is still bad.

Downloaded again (05/25/2025 23:00 CDT) and the toc.ncx is now fixed also.

@Jtjumper Yes, you can copy your epub to a different folder on your PC. In fact, you can even download a second copy for your phone or tablet and can convert the epubs to a different file format and upload them to your e-reader for personal use.

According to the FAQ:

"Premium ebooks you have purchased using Coins can be downloaded from your library as often as you'd like, and the files are yours to do with as you wish." "You can convert them to other formats and save them to any device you own".

What you can't do is share the epub or it's artwork. According to the Terms of Service:

"For the avoidance of doubt with respect to any Premium Content that you purchase or access via the Site or Service, such content is only made available for personal and non-commercial purposes. The delivery of any Premium Content to you neither transfers any commercial or promotional use rights in the content to you nor does it constitute a grant or waiver of any rights of the copyright owners in any artwork embodied in the content."

Also the terms of service make clear you should download the epubs as a backup in case JNC ever have to remove an ebook (e.g. if their licence expires), etc:

"Disclaimer. J-Novel Club does not guarantee that any content (including without limitation J-Novel Club Content) will be made available through the Site or Services, continuously or at all. WHILE J-Novel Club IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO DO SO, J-Novel Club RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REMOVE AND PERMANENTLY DELETE ANY CONTENT FROM THE SITE OR SERVICES WITHOUT NOTICE, AND FOR ANY REASON J-Novel Club DEEMS SUFFICIENT."

@Rahul-Balaggan Yep, its working now. Thanks for your help

@Rahul-Balaggan thanks, can confirm, chapter is available now.
Have a nice day.

@Khelben thanks for the pointer. I'll have this ready for next time.

And, happily, with the the recent release of iPadOS 17.7.8 the J-Novel app is back to working normally for me.

I've listened to all 3 parts of Vol 1 on Audible & am wondering if the rest of the series is coming out as audiobooks or not. Audible shows the rest of the series as unavailable on the Series page. I only get to enjoy books via audiobooks due to my job, so I would love to get the rest of them in the same format & especially the same narrator, it really is a turn off when there is a change in narrators, so much so that I normally stop the series altogether.

@SomeOldGuy i was logged in to both. It started working properly the next day.

@Hikikostory

I have received your email and responded.

@Nekoatl -- did you change anything in your browser? Or did the application spontaneously start working again?

@GeorgeMTO Old topic but it appears first when googling the issue.
I found that if you open the book in the epub editor Sigil and use 'Add cover...' under the 'Tools' tab to reselect the Cover.jpg the preview issue is solved.

Hello,

Thank you, please try now.

Yes, it's working now. Thank you.

@Miz All times are either listed in your time zone or US Central time.

After reading the all comments I decided to post it on Licensing Suggestion and hope for the best.

There is no fan translation (At least I didn't find it, when I searched), because there is no WebNovel version, there is only the Light Novel version.

I also put the manga version on the Licensing Suggestion on the Forum:

Sorry, should have mentioned that is in not something that will be measured in weeks.

Volume 1 won’t be out until July. I suggest checking sometime after at least Volume 1 is out. This way you are not checking all the time.

That being said, we don’t have the date it will be listed either. The listings are handled by our print distributor, not us directly. Even if we said it will be released in X. They will still take their own time to put the listing up.

We make the connection link on our site because it would be a lot more work to individually put the link when a listing goes live.

Any troubleshooting of this would likely include your account data and the forum isn't a good place for that. You'll probably get better help with this if you email support@j-novel.club about it.

@LokiTheBookReader Thank you for letting us know. We will look into this and push an update within the next few days.
