Expiring Volumes (Light Novels)
-
@myskaros Yes, and I thank you for that. This was one of the few months I had to play catch-up because I'm reading so much and have been so busy. I had 3 full volumes to read and wasn't able to start on the first on till the 15th 😅
-
I have a quick question for @myskaros or anyone else. With WATARU!!!!! delayed a little with translator changes, will it still expire Dec 15? No problem either way, but I'm planning my reading and want to be sure if I should prioritize it. Thank you!
-
@the-green-death On Amazon it has a preorder for December 27, so by the usual metric it should expire January 15th. The expiration is not a hard-rule, though, so I would wait for official confirmation.
-
@the-green-death As Pancake calculated, the expiration will be January instead; I'll update the lists!
-

How do the expiry rules work again?
I screwed up and just got half way through the last vol of Combat Baker (v10) when it locked me out.
Wild Last Boss v4's last part came out the same day (11th March) and it says it is expired so only appears unlocked due to catch up.
However, the ePub for Combat Baker came out at the end of March, whereas the ePubs for Wild Last Boss, Tearmoon Empire, Marielle, Banner, Older GF etc all are all in April.
So is the "expired" status on Wild Last Boss v4 an artefact of being on catch up then, and it goes by the month the ePub comes out and I only screwed up with one series?
-
@smashman42 The unspoken rule is that if there are less than 7 days between an ebook and the 15th of the month, then that book's prepubs expire the month after on the 15th. Otherwise everything expires on the next 15th after releasing.
-

I am glad to have these deadlines from these regular postings, but when will they show on the individual series pages? I noticed on the new website that there is now a place where the expiring date can be listed and at least the series I follow have it as TBD (even one that is expiring next week). I have seen it used for catchup series though, but that end date is no surprise.
-
@spacebssn Unfortunately, the expiration date on the site still needs some work; it was previously showing the wrong date, so we removed the date altogether since we received complaints when things were expiring earlier than expected. We're a small team, and software development is currently focused on pushing out a 1.0 release of the app first, so website updates will be a bit slower for a time.
-
@myskaros Thanks for your quick response and I look forward to this feature as new updates are made!
