Volume 2 (Premium Edition): Textless color illustrations

@myskaros Thank you for the reply, I was feeling nervous for the lack of chapters. Cheers

@Cerickson25 J-Novel Club tend to only release things that the Japanese publisher release. So if those stories become an 8th volume in Japan I expect them to get it, but if Japan don't publish it, then I figure JNC won't.

This volume was so much easier to follow than the anime! I wish I could have seen them in the other order, I think I'd be able to enjoy the anime a lot more.

@Hylebos thanks. So the author does this kind of self referal a lot?

Precisely that kind of self referral? I don't think so. At least, I don't recall him regularly referring to his past self by saying things like: "You seriously couldn’t at least exercise a little restraint, past me?". However he does refer to his "past self" from time to time, and his narration is quite playful in the right moment, so I wouldn't say it's out of character either.

Narrating in the first person? Yes, frequently. Like many light novels it is usually written as if the protagonist is reciting or narrating the tale from either the present as a sort of internal monologue or from an unspecified future either recounting it or narrating it from his perspective.

It basically switches between narrating the story from the perspective of the time it is happening (but mostly written in past tense) to giving you his internal thoughts at that time to providing insight from the future. I think this is a style quite common in light novels, where first and third person and past and present tense can intermingle, and is something I've gotten so used to I hardly ever think about it.

I have read that Japanese does not have part/present verb tense (although there is indication as to whether or not an action has been completed) which could be relevant to decisions on how light novels are written in Japanese and thus translated into English.

@OldManGamer which series are you talking about? The forum you placed this message in isn't specific to a given series.

I decided to give the series a try since it was on catchup this month and absolutely loved it, bought both volumes! I hope there’s a volume 3!

I loved the elaborate description of the illustration that they didn’t have time to make

I'll be completely honest. As someone who has been a fan of sci-fi and fantasy since I was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s. I'm just glad it's so easy to have consistent access to reading material now. The sheer number of series where my local stores didn't stock a sequel and I didn't even find out there was one until it was out of print. That were abandoned by the publisher. Or even where the author died before finishing the series...

Honestly, we're very lucky with the quality and consistency we get from J-novel club.

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no set date for when V7 will start pre-prepublication on the site right now. Please rest assured we are working on getting part 1 out as fast as possible.

Everyone’s patience is greatly appreciated until V7 is ready to start.

Thank you

Catched up at last. The second prince will do everything but the tactician's principles if different, the same way with the Bastian.

@pcj very exciting!

I'm a little late to the Campfire Cooking party, but I'm currently on volume 3 and wanted to ask a question or make a suggestion?
With Dora-chan now part of Mukoda's party, it's getting a little difficult to discern his speech from Sui's. I appreciate that Fel's speech in volume 2 became bold and so it was easy to tell him apart from the others right away. Is there something that can be done to indicate who is speaking without reading further into the story and using context clues? Like using brackets or other font type? I have the same problem with the goddesses all talking over one another as well.
