Catchup Titles Archive (Updated to March 2024)
-
@pcj Fixed. When I made the topic initially there was a forum bug where it would show inside the spoiler when I put it outside (while putting it inside did the reverse). Looks like they updated the forum at some point and it included a fix for it.
-
I'll give Combat Baker another chance. I drifted away after volume 1, but that was decent enough.
White Cat is worth reading if you haven't tried it before.
-
@HarmlessDave I’m really liking white cat revenge. Is it just 3 and done? can’t seem to find any info on it, I hope not 🤞
-
@Lovebsg The editor for White Cat has fallen ill, so we have put the next volume on hold for the time being.
-
Hang on... We have manga catch-ups now too? I'm excited! And it's one that I've been very curious about anyways, so that's cool.
@myskaros That royally sucks... hope they get well soon!
-
@xdrfiredogx The first manga catch-up was Unwanted Undead last month.
-
@LegitPancake Ahh... well, that would explain why I hadn't noticed. I'm caught up on the novels (and the manga, actually) so I probably skimmed right past it when I saw the list and didn't catch that it was for the manga version.
-
First post updated with December's catchup. All caught up or complete series this time around.
I've also updated the manga entries so it's a bit more visible they're manga and not LNs.
-
I'm all caught up too except for the Dendro manga. I don't normally read manga but I might give it a try.
-
Outer Ragna and the Soap one for me I guess if I have time.
Last month's catch-up was really good, but I just didn't invest the time into it (did get through Discommunication at least).
-
Updated the main post with the first update for 2021! (●'◡'●)
-
Maybe I'll give Least Interesting Master Swordsman another try. It lived up to its title a bit too much for me, but perhaps it gets wildly exciting later on?
-
Updated the main post with February 2021!
A lot of caught up LNs this time around; especially from the Legend label... ( ﹁ ﹁ )
-
I hope those Legend label series continue. Fingers crossed.
Almost two years from last release for Economics though...
-
Hmm...
Kobold King was numbingly boring the first time I tried reading it, so I'll pass on trying again. Magic too far behind I think I got though the first volume and mostly just wanted to beat the protag with a stick for being so damn annoying.
The rest don't hold any interest for me, with the possible exception of Her Majesty's Swarm... anyone got any thoughts on if it's worth reading?
-
@xdrfiredogx Magic Behind's first volume was indeed kinda bad. It gets better later on thought, give it one more chance if you've got the time.

I ignored that one for a couple of years based on the description, but I started it last night and enjoyed the first 3 parts of volume 1.
So far it has a feel that's a little like Overlord with a lighter tone, That's based on just 3 parts though, it's too soon to tell.
Magic Behind
For me liked the first 3-5 volumes then the anime cliche trope humor took over more and more, complete with accidental peeping and a really annoying chuuni.

What's going on with translation of welcome to Japan ms. Elf volume 6? Apparently it's already published and in print in Japan since July 22, 2020. It's already February 2021. So I am a bit curious on what happened here? Same thing about My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! volume 9 which came out in April of 2020 in Japan. I'm just curious on the delay.

The translator for Ms. Elf also works on another series (I want to say Potions?) and can really only do one translation at a time while maintaining the degree of quality we expect from JNC. Not sure about Villainess but I'd be willing to bet that if it's not a case of "The translator already has X series, X+1 is more than they can handle" it's a case of "The contract hasn't yet been signed, so we don't announce it".
