  I saw New Life featured in an ad by HJ on Twitter. It is still being sold digitally on Bookwalker Japan. HJノベルス (@HJ_novels) Tweeted: 【HJネット小説大賞2018 一次選考通過作品発表!!!】 HJ文庫公式サイトにて、HJネット小説大賞2018の一次選考通過作品を発表いたしました！ 一次選考通過作品の詳細は以下のリンクから是非ご確認ください！ 大賞ページ→ https://t.co/qPl2pyqP0X ブログ→ https://t.co/hHjDR7svlh https://t.co/BOGuRIxmfk https://twitter.com/HJ_novels/status/1029968939437051904?s=17 【HJ Net Novel Grand Prize 2018 First Selection Exceeded Work Announcement !!!】 On the official website of HJ Bunko, we announced the first selection screening work of HJ Net Novel Grand Prize 2018! Please confirm the details of the work which passed the primary selection from the following link by all means! I don't know if those selections were made before the controversy or no, but the image on Twitter has New Life front and center. Edit: From the link Selection Schedule April 24, 2018 (Tue) Start accepting applications (from 00: 00) June 30, 2018 (Saturday) Application deadline (until 23:59) After that, after winning the first, second and final selection, winning works will be decided Final results will be announced from the end of September to the beginning of October Prize Grand Prize: 500,000 yen (1 piece planned) Winning: 100,000 yen (number unknown) Awards and winning works will be confirmed by HJ paperback or HJ Novels. Also, I will commit to the 3rd volume for the grand prize work continuously New Life + was halted at the beginning of June. Still seems odd for them to put it front and center on the banner image for this. I think this competition is for future publications too, so Narou works that aren't published, the banner is just an example of past winners?

  @crimson-wise thank you for mentioning Marvin. That app is a godsend. To anyone that may want to know why I went with Marvin over Apple Book, more text size option marginal control!!! (I can shove the text right to the border of my iPad. Ha! Take that Apple) indentation size line height & paragraph spacing 😍 (my eyes are crying tears of happiness) lots of font type to choose from Oh! I can also choose fast swipe for page turn on horizontal tl;dr - Marvin is very very customisable. p/s: thank you OP for starting this thread 😊

  I'd say I'm "learning to tl" more from a business perspective at the moment. Just so happens that makes it a lot easier to TL from a hobby perspective as well. That said, I'm a fairly decent editor so that'll probably turn into my main forum activity in response to books currently in translation for official publication. I'm anal retentive enough that I spot grammatical and contextual errors consistently if nothing else. I'm buying a few different series and reading them from scratch first since Kindle books lack the extra short stories and such. And translating light novels from a beach on Okinawa, a temple in Kyoto, or a hot spring in Hokkaido could be a future job. Harder to do in Tokyo because it's too much fun to people watch. ;)

  @myskaros Very true, but the initial shock... :-O Now that I'm thinking about it, it's a new credit card cycle. Time to but the next title on my list.

  I’m not going to stop people from grabbing the premium editions that way if they want to. It’s not like we don’t have the rights to it anymore. Consider it officially unlisted.

  @sam-pinansky said in J-Novel Club Adds An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Slave Elf Bride Light Novels: The confusion between arch demon and actual demons is purposeful and part of the book and sort of a spoiler so please keep reading. So please keep releasing! 😁 (Seriously, I'm really looking forward to Tuesdays now with these two new releases!)

  @aruseus493 said in In Regards To A Realist Hero Vol 4 Illustration: @jeremytmh Should definitely request from Sam since they gotta edit the images to create English versions anyways. Oh I know, sometimes they or actually they should be getting the clean images. usually the text etx everything was a separate layer. That's how its usually like in the industry. I've worked a little in something related before. That's why I was asking if that original could be provided in some form or whether there would be contractual issues doing so.

  @terrence said in I'm back to bathing in novels now! What did I miss?: New Life + volume 1 (interesting protagonist) Whelp. Maybe avoid that one for now OP until we find out if it's definitely canned because of the author's perceived racism or going to go through edits and come back. =[

  @jampodevral Like I said, opinions vary. Some people are fine using both ?! and !?, like with the former being more of a question and the later being more shock and confusion. So I wouldn't call a book that uses both "poorly edited". Generally I'd just like some consistency in their usage is all within a particular series.

  Isekai is a setup. In many series, there is nothing isekai about it after the first few chapters. In a series like New Life +, it would only be a trivial difference if you called it "Amnesiac blessed by God" instead of an isekai. As such, I don't believe it's possible to get tired of isekai... I think people who say they are tired of isekai are actually tired of the type of story that is most common among isekai: fantasy worlds with RPG elements. There are lots of series that are fantasy worlds with RPG elements (even with floating menus!) that aren't isekais, though.

  Yea right now the features and functions in an account is really limited. Its fine when your collection here is small still but I am expecting my ebook collection to explode over the year soon and i predict its going to be messy... Currently I just download the epub and sort them manually on my devices but it would be great to be able to have some organizing in my Library under my account here as well soon. Another feature that would save lots of time once there is more series would be allowing us members to bookmark followed series into our account and just hop to them direct simply via the account itself. For now I just bookmark em on my browser but yea I'd have preferred built-in to the account here.

  I kept advertising J Novel on the mangas that have their LN translated and ran across spookie which lead to him learning about the premium bonus. Hopefully he decides to continue the series he loves since the bonuses aren't required to enjoy the stories to the fullest. I spend hundreds on auctions every other month trying to get limited edition things in Japan and it's a pain but what can you do when you love your hobby so much?
