Hello,

As of right now there is no official date for the start of V2 prepubs, everyone’s patience during this time is appreciated.

Thank you

For a general overview of how new volumes are handled, please refer to the following topic: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/3478/future-volume-release-schedule

So I just finished volume 9… what a ride.

I began this series over a year or two ago with the fan translated web novel, and it got stuck in a quagmire of well, we won’t go there, I saw that Our beloved team here at JNC had picked it up.

My choice then was to decide… start from scratch and rip my hair out re-reading what I had already read… or wait, so wait I did. Not only that I had to watch volume after volume be released while religiously checking the summary to see if it had caught up to where I left the web novel at…. Finally with volume 11 it seems like it might have, dare I try to start?

So far I’ve read 8 volumes, in 3 weeks, another 3 days for volume 9… and seeing as I’m on a roll, you really think I’ll put this down for anything short of the apocalypse?

Not likely. If anything, the authors inclusion of gramps and Ashoka give it new life, AND I fine I’m reading it more for THEIR story than for Ryoma’a…

And finally I have verification of what I had a gut feeling on since I started the bloody web novel, that Ryoma’a mother and father where summoned to this world too (tho the math feels a wee bit odd from my perspective and understanding). Can I hope that one, or both of those show up in coming volumes? I mean, for a hot second I thought the Vixen of the North was going to be his long lost baby sister…. But it didn’t make sense age wise… lol

Seriously, I’ve been trying to hold back from screaming at the organization that they should be connecting certain names together MUCH FASTER!

Now… something more amusing, seeing as the story is yet to come…

Cardinal: could you please stop causing unrest on our continent?
Ryoma: unrest? What have I done?
Cardinal: the civil war in Rhoadseria, the war in Xaroomba….
Ryoma: oh that, well if they’d stop interrupting my living a simple life… and dragging me in, I would.
Cardinal: how so?
Ryoma: Well, if it wasn’t for a certain dead moron who summoned me, non of this ‘Instability’ wouldn’t have occurred… stop them, and I’ll stop.

Lol. Yeah, don’t see that ending well…

Volumes 8 (Premium Edition): A Chat between the Translator & Editor

Volumes 4 (Premium Edition): Textless Color Illustrations

Nice catch. Thanks.

Great first volume.

Loving how of a battlejunkie Inglis is, even more than Kelvin, the MC of Black Summoner.

Liking the world building and setup. Want to see where the Highlander and their island come from, and what happened to the old Kingdom that Inglis had in her previous life.

Without a doubt my favorite LN from the last batch of licenses

I'm not sure what, if anything, changed about the way Slayers is being translated, but I really loved the style of the first chapter. Lots of creative word choices and a fun atmosphere overall. Great work! :D

@khaos Glad you got it working. I'll look into making the file handling more resilient, especially with creating the files in the beginning.

Volume 1 (Premium Edition): Textless Cover Illustration

Volume 7 (Premium Edition): 2 Bonus Short Stories Orest’s Outlook The Grown-ups in their Secret Meeting

@legitpancake
Just saw this today. Oh, I can't wait.

@xdrfiredogx This is why I love her, Rina brings an air of levity and fun whenever she is on the story and she is such a good foil for Rentt that since her reappearence in volume 5 I was praying that she get to play a major role in the narrative in the future. Glad that I was right :)

Just read this volume finally. I think it was the best one yet!

In the meantime, Campfire Cooking has a very good manga adaptation that is ongoing. I enjoy it every bit as much as the novels.

Are there any news of a sixth volume?

@myskaros Fantastic! Thank you for doing this!

Wooooooo! Kazuhiro and Marie finally confessed their love to each other! It’s about time!

I’m super happy we got the story of when they first met, too.

I would ask why Kazuhiko and Marie don’t just kiss already, but they actually already have. (And yet, they still somehow are in the friend zone still.)

I definitely feel like Wridra’s comment in this volume summed up my thoughts on this series so far pretty well:

It is too sweet… As if someone dumped sugar on it…

Granted, I’m still really enjoying the diabetes.

Anyway, just as I thought might be the case, it seems like when Kazuhiro goes to the “dream world,” his body disappears from the “real world.”

So, did Marie actually kiss Kazuhiro on the lips there near the end of the volume? I’m thinking no (though I wouldn’t be surprised if she kissed him on the cheek), because they would have made it a lot clear if she did. Either way, they need to hurry up and just make it official already!

Also, from the final bit of this volume before the afterword, I get the sneaking suspicion that what Zarish is “collecting” is girls, and now he’s got his sights set on Marie.
