I'm sorry for your loss... that's rough.

I recently finished my first read through of the series and yeah, I can see how it would be just the right kind of series to help... serious enough to hold your attention and yet light hearted enough that it doesn't demand your attention.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go cuddle my kitty, who turned 14 last month...

@myskaros Thank you!

@Rahul-Balaggan Thank you for the links, I didn't realize you had to secure licensing rights to the new volume in order to translate it.

@CrimsonScholar said in About Demon King Daimao illustrations:

@Geezer-Weasalopes Oh, that's nice. Though, question, where exactly do I find those textless illustrations after buying them? For one, I have in general difficulty finding where colored illustrations are. (I only see the cover and the black and white illustrations for light novels while reading them)

For example, I have bought Reborn to Master the Blade V1 but I can't find the colored illustrations for it anyway. (the ones with text)

You've downloaded the book, yes?
Not the prepub stuff, but using the download link from the item in your User Library? (The prepub stuff never has the color illustrations beyond the cover illustration, whether you have purchased the boo or not.)
You have to do that and then open the epub using an ebook reader capable of doing so.

Bear in mind that JNC ended up shifting all the color images to the end of their epubs to reduce the number of Amazon takedowns; the folks getting their jollies by reporting things for violating Amazon's amorphous 'community standards' can't be bothered to purchase the works but use what's in the Kindle preview as their justification...and some of those images were awful convenient to them.

So you need to purchase the book directly from JNC at this site, download the purchased copy, and open up the downloaded file and go to the end of the book to find the color illustrations.
The black and white will be where they should be within the text.

If you purchase the book via a different site it won't contain the bonus content, so for this it has to be purchased direct from JNC.

Ah.
Timing.
Welp, hopefully this wall of text will be of use to someone down the line!

The other nice thing about purchasing direct from JNC is that it'll be DRM free.

@Windsagio Sorry, I'm not too familiar with these forums so I didn't realize I could post in a place labeled "members only" without a subscription ^.^;

@Paul-Nebeling most people are degenerates. That they refuse to recognize it a different matter. One look at the female western popular books sales will prove my point. I remember trying to read some of the books few years ago. Felt like I was reading Gilmore Girls on steroids. Never mind all the naked covers of men.

I'm operating under the assumption it will never come out.

@Terabyte Awesome. Thanks for the update/info. I did not know that Vol. 15 is not release in Japan. My main source is here (j-novel) and on Amazon Kindle ;)

Just finished reading Vol 9 (JP) a few days ago. Love it is all I'll say. Can't wait to read it in EN in 6 months as well. I wonder how long Vol 10 is gonna take this time but at least we're getting more Anime along the way~

@Eli-Bash-2cpmfd4 nope, no equivalent to the calendar page for physical releases

@Aedwin27 I might recommend To Another World with Land Mines. It’s a slower paced fantasy much like bookworm (actually it’s even slower paced than Bookworm). The best thing is this series is on catchup for the month of June, so you can read the entire series this month.

@peace20021 unfortunately, as far as we know, no. JNC hasn't previously announced it for print, and we've been told that the new Yen Press print label specifically for J-Novel's books is what's going to be doing pretty much all new series prints going forward. So if you want one, go ask Yen Press to print the series.

Freshly announced on today's livestream for 5/26.

@LegitPancake said in D-Genesis Vol. 3 Discussion!:

JNC staff mentioned in the Discord yesterday that D-Gen is having a change in the translation team, which is likely what is causing the delay.

I really want to read these extra chapters to know what happened after Disc 2. I finished reading both Discs and I fell for the story and its characters. :D
