Yeah, I'm not really a fan of this NodeBB forum script either. Especially when I work daily with a completely different (and much better imo) forum script. If JNC ever decides to convert to something else I'm available to help. 😋

@shiny said in Since Gatou Shoji's work is so successful, why not physical releases of Amagi Brilliant Park:

The fact it had an anime at all should be a plus for it though, especially as the show and author are both successful.

Unfortunately, the simple fact of the matter is that it's usually the opposite outcome. An older anime has been shown time and time again to be detrimental to light novel sales of that same series in English. A new anime (within the last year or two, but preferably airing after or during publication) has been shown to increase sales, though. Some exceptions exist such as republications of old Tokyopop releases such as FMP and Slayers, but those require considerable fanbases and reasons for fans to rebuy them (higher quality hardcovers and a modern retranslation, for example, both of which require a lot of up-front cost). If Kadokawa were to up-front the cost for Amagi and/or Kokoro Connect physicals, then it could be feasible, but I personally don't see that happening.

Will throw in a few coins as well: Current way of discovering what exactly in premium content is not optimal from UX perspective. I'd even say it's pretty bad, as it's not obvious where details are presented. Obviously I talk only for ones which have the premium content field filled out (I'd expect ones with missing fields to be slowly filled out over time as admin time permits).

Since data is already available to page renderer (otherwise it won't show the premium content icon), I'd suggest adding a hover tooltip (akin to one when you hover over the part link) that mirrors the information shown when you press buy or at the very least add a title attribute for use of native OS tooltip. For mobile-friendliness first one is better with a behavior to appear on touch.
This is pretty minor issue and definitely not a priority, but as someone who spent way too much time improving UX in various programs such minor problems tick me off, all thanks to profdeformation. :)

I can relate, except "work from home" hasn't been a change for me; I thought about getting a shirt that said something like "socially distant for decades". Or maybe "remember when social distancing was a symptom rather than a goal?"

Concentration issues are exasperated by this; starting out with issues as a kid aren't helped by advancing age.

But trying to keep track of multiple stories help...

@freyr said in Korean Fantasy/Romance Novels - Why don’t they ever get licensed?:

I hope j-novel continues to focus on Japanese light novels.

While it's possible there are JNC staff members who could do stuff with other Asian languages than Japanese, to date that's the only Asian language they've been working with for translations.

If it weren't for the recent batch of European language works being brought over by JNC I'd have been willing to make grandiose (and fatuous) statements concerning JNC not doing any TLs of anything other than Japanese, with no actual basis for saying so...

There's a sufficient difference in 'feel' between most Japanese LN/Manga and the equivalent Korean & Chinese works that I'm still willing to make unfounded pronouncements to the effect that I consider it unlikely that JNC will branch out to including non-Japanese Asian lit.

Reporting: the bug is still here.

PS: Can be overcome by using mouse taking the circle and moving to the rightmost position (while keyboard and mouse scroll are stuck and do not scroll there)

@shiny I should make an official feature request on this, specially since I haven't managed to get the UI to work with the new APIs without loading everything.

Edit: done.

@myskaros An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride Volume 7 release date is now showing 11/17/2021 as the release date

Yes that's usually what I do, I expend credits for series that I can actually catch up. Don't take me wrong I know we cannot like catch up all series we want but a catch up should not mean like having the whole series open free to latest chapter but for example if we have like a very long series some times that is a blocker to actually buy it or at least for me, but if for example we can catch up till a point where we can keep buying the remaining volumes maybe it could make more sense.

Hello,

As of right now there is no option to redeem manga with premium credits, as per the Manga FAQ:

https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/2404/manga-ebook-faq-update-21-august-2019-kindle-books-online?page=1

Sorry

Oh that makes more sense. My vote is for just the link the series tag if there's no dedicated subforum, but I don't really see the need to add discussion buttons to every single volume, especially when you go look at the oldest pages on the forums, older series may have a discussion topic per part rather than per volume.

Sorry about all the spam bot direct messages everyone, I know it may be tedious but please continue to flag the accounts on the forum profile of the spam bot so I can ban those accounts.

Thank you
