@smashman42 Can you blame them, really? Major publishers have a lot invested. This "direct" program is a way for people to bypass that investment. Yes, the rules are different.

Some "major publisher" books have missed multiple deadlines. I'm waiting for the final book of a series that was originally scheduled for 11/19, then 03/20, then 05/20 (the date shown on Amazon right now), and (as of yesterday) to 09/20.

Are there penalties for them? Probably. But that's in their contract with Amazon.

@Icefiremage ok thanks I think that worked

@myskaros
The link worked for me. Thanks

@saskir There is definitely no virus, AV software blocks it because some of the techniques used in the javascript are similar to obfuscation techniques used by cryptominers, scams and other web malware

Go ahead and send an e-mail to support@j-novel.club, you can have your subscription canceled and refunded.

Thank you for bring this to our attention, the issue has been resolved.

Lazy Dungeon Master was a Jan/Feb catchup, and is no longer available now that it is March. https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/2900/starting-off-2020-with-2-months-of-catchups

This is March's catchup titles. https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/3030/catchups-for-march-2020

You will now need to purchase the volumes for LDM that you didn't read before they expired, or wait an unknown amount of time (perhaps a year or more) for LDM to go on catch-up again.

@harunachiep Pretty much

It's hard to say anything without knowing more specifics about what you're referring to, such as what series, which scenes exactly, etc. However, our regular releases are translated from the regular print version of the book, and our premium releases may have bonus store-exclusive or digital-only short stories included in them.

The "other translation" could also be from a web novel and not light novel, in which case the web novel could have been condensed/pared down when making the transition into a light novel.

If you believe that a book was not fully translated, please feel free to send an e-mail to contact@j-novel.club describing the exact scene with chapter numbers and/or print page numbers.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, that's out of our hands. Amazon resize and recompress all epub graphics uploaded to them and don't provide a way for companies to override their algorithms if there's a problem. They also don't provide a specification sheet which would allow us to submit a version which we know works.

I'm really sorry. The best I can tell you is to ask Amazon for a refund because they screwed up the book after uploading and then buy it from any of our other partner stores (Kobo, Apple Store, Google Play, Bookwalker) as none of them manipulate the images. Comixology does have some magic process which they run as well, but given that their platform is designed around the needs of graphic novels and comic art, the image quality will be non-deteriorated and our books are configured to work with Guided View.

great reason to be a premium member! (not to mention all the other benefits)

The premium credit has been distributed for this month!

Thank you all for your patience!

Hello!

Grimgar was part of December's Catch up titles offered by J-Novel Club - https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/2795/stock-up-on-fantasy-in-december-s-catchups

At J-Novel Club they translate new volumes of licensed titles for members to read, after the book has been fully translated they release it as an e-Book. Shortly after the e-book is made available for purchase it becomes unavailable (except for the preview parts) for members to read. Every month J-Novel Club offers catch up titles, these are select titles where all currently translated volumes are made available for members to read.

As noted above last month Grimgar was part of the select catch up titles made available. This month they have titles available for January and Fenruary - https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/2900/starting-off-2020-with-2-months-of-catchups

When they introduce new titles the former month's titles go back in the vault, eventually all of Grimgar will go on catch up again, but it may not be soon, and it may not even be this year.

Only Amazon has banned that volume in Germany. Germans can still buy it on Kobo, Nook, Bookwalker, iTunes, Google Play, and Premium.

I have added the Pay-Wall description from the other topic, and added to it another detail as well.
I also made it more visible to which other topics the content I am mentioning here is related.

I hope this information help other newbies to get around here more easily by having the information and impression collected here.

@rahul-balaggan thank you.
