Just finished reading the volume after starting it the other day. I definitely liked the comedy in this volume. I think one of my favorite scenes that was funny was Nem holding onto Duplichiro's waist. I wish there was an illustration for that considering how silly it is.

Regarding Rosemary's avatar, I'm guessing it was generated based off perfection taken from all the players which is probably why she looks "familiar".

The idea that the author could write a weeaboo character so accurate makes me feel shame as a being also shaped as a human. I wish I could turn into an AI and run away.

Regarding Asuha wanting to visit Seattle. The Mariners suck. Thus, the reason she wanted to visit was because one of the players formerly on the team is named Ichiro. If that's actually true, good on the author for being able to catch that bit of trivia.

The Fate / Stay portion of this story. xP

Tough to keep track of all these characters now. We got:

Monica: Young girl (older by Outer age) who is connected to Yuichi by giving him the sight power.

Ryouma: Protagonist. Basically, he's like that dude from "I Saved too Many Girls and Caused the Apocalypse".

Serial God Killer: Her name is like Rakki or something? She's

Monica's friend:

Priest: This guy is basically Kotomine Kirei from Fate Stay. Runs the holy vessel war, tests people. He runs around with that negator skill kid.

Ende: Outer. Carries books that tell of future, present, past. Currently connected to protagonist (is she going to steal him romantically from childhood friend, or is she just playing?).

Hero: Red head? Can't die right away (revival skill). Fairly weak overall since she is ruled by a leveling system like in games. Friends with Natsuki.

v6 p8 90%:

Suzuran is [...], but she's spent so little time as a human that she doesn't know what her feelings are. [...] Once he has a firmer grasp on the human heart, she may find it easy to make Rekka hers.

(There's nothing wrong here grammar wise, but contextually I thought "Once she has a firmer grasp" was a better fit and that "he" could have been a typo. It does still make some sense as "he," so maybe that's right, but I thought it worth mentioning.)

On one hand I don't usually enjoy short story episodes as much, on the other hand this series can use a break from the usual format. Perhaps it was because the dramatic elements were mostly absent, but Rekka's facepalm-worthy behavior seems to stick out a little more in this volume. It would be nice if his character could have some evolution.

One element in this volume was R influencing Rekka more than I remember in previous volumes. One with

The other being her getting him to repeat what she's saying out loud. I can't remember that happening in previous volumes, though it may have, but I think it's a good way to get her involved, and it has a chance to produce decent comedy if used correctly.

Girls und Panzer the series is basically a sports anime. Only the sport is tanks. It provides a great deal of support for what it says, just don't expect /actual/ realism. Just verisimilitude. :)

The movie shifts genres and is basically a wuxia film. With tanks. :)

Wow. I guess I can toss out my impressions of what I've read (and watched) of the launch titles.

The Grimgar anime was ok, but like most single season anime, the story barely gets past the introductory phase. The light novels are better, but they are very first-person Haru.

Occultic;Nine is a weird story, and the anime seems to go beyond the translated volumes. It's not bad, but it's unusual.

Mixed Bathing in Another Dimension doesn't appear to have an anime, which is probably for the best. It's probably the most "adult" of the light novels I've read and I don't think it would adapt well. I do enjoy it and think that Mixed Bathing's Touya has his act together a lot more than Smartphone's Touya.

Last up is My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World. This light novel seems to have it all. Vampires, werewolves, turf wars, awkward high school romance, and it's still a better love story than Twilight. And to think I'm only on Volume 3!

The (Premium) book is now available so all good.

That was why they couldn't decide if if seriously wanted a fight or not.
Probably should be if it.

@myskaros Just that once the ebook is out we correct things but more likely in batches as we have to update the ebooks on the various retailers. If you post on the forums on an older thread maybe less likely we notice.

@microdynames Arifureta is getting a print release by Seven Seas, so if there are issues you've found in our translation now is the time to point them out to us before it gets printed! Feel free to send things to support@j-novel.club

Just a heads up for Daimao fans... Going to start up volume 3 in November (around the 11th). The extra long break between volumes is to let Adam (the translator) have some room to work on Occulti;Nine Vol 3.

Sorry you'll have to wait about 3 extra weeks for vol 3!

Part 8: The headlines are not marked as such.

@sam-pinansky sweet thanks. I wasn't sure if your epubs were automated or someone had to manually do it. Just wanted to know since I'm going to start preordering at the beginning of each month for that month.

@anpan I noticed that they were not discounting the preorders for December like they had done for August. My biggest gripe with YP is that they are glacially slow.

I am busy with college so I can only keep track of discord server at the moment. And there isn't even much I can discuss here as I am not caught up to any J-NC series anymore (also because of college)

Part 3, 47%:

But between the setting of the sun and its rising, their number at been cut in half.

Assuming it should be "had."

Uhg, bro-con... No, please, no!

I wonder if our hero will end up with multiple partners at the end of this one? We've spent more time with and developing Lady Clena than his actual girlfriend.

@hatguy12 oh great ! Wich mean we will be getting the next volume quick :-)

thanks for the info

@eternal-wanderer said in Little Apocalypse Volume 4 Discussion:

Just finished marathoning this volume and I just have one thing to say, considering its a light novel it was inevitable that most of the cast would end up in maid outfits at some point.

HA HA !

It's here!! Thank you very much.
