I got the "error" too, though I caught what had happened before I tried again.

Failed to purchase 10
: Unknown error (200). Try again later.

@funnyflame
The closest you'll get is a copyright page, which are added in the for sale releases. Part 4 title removed just in case.
bookworm copyright page

@kuuderes_shadow You can see the purchase dates on the beta app, at least. I don’t know of such a function on the website, however. You can see how it looks in my app below.

Your best bet is to use their email contact as this involves a payment issue support@j-novel.club

But some steps you can take yourself is to contact your card issuer in case it's an issue on their end. Assuming that JNC attempted to charge the card, your card issuer should be able to see what went wrong on their end (if the transaction was flagged as suspicious for example)

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've notified Comixology!

@myskaros Yeah it was fixed about an hour after I posted that message, thanks.

@shiny said in How to activate email receipts for monthly subscription?:

I'm in the UK and I seem to recall at least one instance where my bank blocked a payment to JNC and flagged it as suspicious (maybe because it was a foreign currency), so it would be good to get a heads up email.

I'm in similar circumstances. Where I live, USD is a foreign currency that's strictly managed and I could only purchase the subscription using a special dual currency card with certain hard limits. I suspect that time my bank called me isn't going to be the last and there may well be future instances where the payment gets automatically declined.

@jpwong said in How to activate email receipts for monthly subscription?:

I went back through my own emails and I've never gotten an email about subscribing, only emails about purchasing extra credits. It would be nice to get some extra notifications, I'm pretty sure I've seen people indicate they'd like a notice about when credits are spent too since there's no real way to track any of that unless you're meticulously noting every time you spend a credit or get a monthly credit

I get an invoice email from my hosting provider (Digitalocean) every month, a similar email from j-novel would be enough for me. That being said, having more granular notifications would also be great!

@qeeh i tried Hugendubel for now. They seem to have the series as well.

@farmerdad
@myskaros was talking about how members can pre-order the book while it's being translates and not about the release date.

From what I know all release dates are manually entered in the system so the book being release on December 2020 is definitely a typo and not on purpose.

that about sums up my questions, thanks

@qu1nch1a Partly Yes. If it is expired you could either buy it to read it or wait for a catchup month. Every months some series are made free to read for members. Like Black Summoner plus 5 other LN and one Manga this month. So as a member you can read all Volumes of it.

@myskaros TY

@bordmouth said in Cannot Subscribe:

Is it due to the changes of adding Stripe?

J-Novel Club has used Stripe as its payment processor since it first started almost 5 years ago. There have been no changes on that front whatsoever. It's more likely that there's something wrong with your card, which you will have to call your bank or card issuer to investigate.

@pcj Okay, thank you.

@ker2x year, finally...

@sea-sea If the first of the month falls on the weekend, the catch-ups don’t rotate until the first Monday. In this month’s case, the catch-ups rotated to the August titles yesterday.

The loss of the discount on credits is the main point. I'm out by $5 or $6 (if I ever intend to buy any more books) because of the consumer unfriendly buying process.

Edit: My math was off. Upgrading to premium should be $6, not $7, so I don't lose an extra dollar, just the initial $5.
