@doublemangekyo Ah sweet!!!

@durask The first volume just came out in Japan like 3 weeks ago, so it might take some time to negotiate. J-Novel's biggest obstacle is definitely the publisher, Shinchosha, which JNC may not have any ties or contacts with (Sam may, but I've never seen him talk openly about it). Explaining JNC's digital-only nature, with paperbacks reserved for only best sellers, is particularly a difficult selling point for JP publishers that have never made a deal with JNC before.

@ayush-deep said in How Many Parts for Volumes do you Prefer?:

I prefer 7 parts...
10 parts(70 days)+ Final proofreading (20days) take way to much time.Then we have to wait longer for next volume.

Well, doesn’t help when the next (Japanese edition) volume isn’t even out...

But over all, I have to agree. Weekly parts should be roughly the same page count +/- 2 or 3 pages.

@terabyte Believe it or not, I make contact lenses for a living.

Well if they're free, no harm in that.

Edit: I'm reminded why I stopped using bookwalker in the first place. That and it's sad that these are JNC titles without the premium bonuses.

Iirc it was that

@melissa Yea, if you notice a typo in a prepub but the volume is already published, the editors would rather you didn't report it since it could have already been fixed in the final epub. If you own the ebook, though, and see a typo, they do encourage you to email them.

So it's faraway then? 😀 Sorry couldn't resist.

@jjch102296 said in How many Arifureta volumes will there be?:

@antipathy what about the after stories from the web novels will they be apart of the series or will they keep it out

The publisher has said as long as Arifureta keeps selling ok/well they will keep publishing it. So there is a very good chance the after stories will get Volumes of there own once the main story is done.

Personally I hope they get put into LN form b/c I really want to read the 2 Lord Abyss arcs in LN format. Those arcs are already great and just thinking what could be added given all the extra stuff in the main story makes me giddy.

@rahul-balaggan I appreciate the heads up. I've looked at forums for Kokoro connect and I always see it with less activity then other LN series so excuse my needless worry. Now the wait.

Well this is a good thing!

Time to fire up Moon+ Reader Pro...

All titles are Premium editions unless otherwise noted.

As of 1 Jun 2019:

[New Life+] 1-3 (Suspended-Still hoping for more) Demon King Daimaou 1 (Ongoing) From Truant to Anime Screenwriter (single volume) Realist Hero 1-8 (Ongoing) For My Daughter 1-8 (Final volume being translated) Smartphone 1-14 (Ongoing) + 1-4 from Amazon Infinite Dendrogram 1 (Ongoing) Rokujouma 1-21 including the .5’s (Ongoing)

Saving my pennies for the Rokujouma 23-30 dump to come soon. The single volumes of Daimaou and Dendrogram were purchased in the days before catch-up months.

Should be coming soon, for all we know some of the translation could be done and they are waiting on contract approvals to legally start releasing them...

Maybe next month when they release V22 we will get a one-two lunch with V31 starting...

@rahul-balaggan True. Warnis is translating Magicmaster to say nothing about needing to finish volume 22.

@raitoiro I would pay an extra $10/volume for Faraway Paladin
