Premium E-Book Bonus Contents List!
-
Is there a more updated/complete list of the premium/bonus content somewhere? I see that several volumes in the first post are totally missing. I am trying to decided if it is worth getting the premium books or not. If they have short stories, like Isekai Smartphone, then I'd consider it but if the premium content is only textless pictures I don't really care...
-
@terabyte Which volumes/series are you asking about? The closest we have is that J-NC Newsletter which lets you know what the Premium Bonuses for each month are. For February:
- Realist Hero Volume 5 - Five Bonus Short Stories
- Outbreak Company Volume 2 - Extensive Translation Notes so you don't miss a single reference! Also textless illustrations
- Rokujouma Volume 9 - Textless Illustrations
- Clockwork Planet Volume 3 - An exclusive interview with the amazing inventor of the gear cube, and 1000s of other puzzles and geared contraptions, Oskar van Deventer! Also textless illustrations
- How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord - A Bonus pinup illustration! Also textless illustrations.
- Occultic;Nine Volume 3 - Textless illustration collection containing spreads from vols 1-3.
- [New Life+] Young Again in Another World Volume 1 - Textless Illustrations.
-
@aruseus493 Really looking forward to see what will come with later volumes of Rokujouma.
-
@paul-nebeling I think Sam mentioned the bonus short stories will start with volume 16.
-
@aruseus493 Currently I've made an account and subscribed to the newsletter only recently so I haven't gotten any yet.
I am interested in:
- [New Life+] Young Again in Another World: this one is already out since it has only textless illustrations
- Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest: I see the first 3 volumes have extra stories so that's one I'll consider
- How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord: that's out too since it's only illustrations
- Outbreak Company: what exactly are these extensive notes for volume 2? Any quick example? Also, what about volume 1?
- Infinite Dendrogram: the first 3 volumes seem to have extra short stories so that goes on the list to consider too. What about volumes 4 thought? Does it have extra stories too?
- In Another World With My Smartphone: the first 3 volumes have extra stories, but what about the other 3?
- How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom: first post lists mini stories for each volume, but since it hasn't been updated in a while I wonder if the new volumes after that post have any too?
- If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord: first post lists extra stories for the first 2 volumes, what about the other 3?
- Demon King Daimaou: first 2 volumes have only textless pictures so I won't consider it either, I assume volume 3 (and 4) will be the same but I'd like to know for sure.
Those are the ones I'm currently interested in, I've been reading either the web novel/manga of it or watching the anime. Actually I got into reading LNs because of Isekai Smartphone, after the anime I started reading the WN. From there I ended up on Novel Updates, got into reading more LN about old anime/manga and finally I ended up finding about J-Novel Club.

Every volume comes with Bonus Short Stories as the Bonus Stories come from the Japanese Retailer Exclusive Pre-Order and Limited Edition bonuses. A personal favorite series of mine.
Outbreak Company: what exactly are these extensive notes for volume 2? Any quick example? Also, what about volume 1?
Not a series I'm following so I can't remember what volume 1 is mentioned to have.
Infinite Dendrogram: the first 3 volumes seem to have extra short stories so that goes on the list to consider too. What about volumes 4 thought? Does it have extra stories too?
Yes, volume 4 comes with bonus short stories and I think all subsequent volumes come with them.
In Another World With My Smartphone: the first 3 volumes have extra stories, but what about the other 3?
Yes, another series with lots of bonus stories.
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom: first post lists mini stories for each volume, but since it hasn't been updated in a while I wonder if the new volumes after that post have any too?
Yup, each volume comes with bonus stories.
If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord: first post lists extra stories for the first 2 volumes, what about the other 3?
Every volume from J-NC so far on this series has bonus stories. I assume they continued in Japan too.
Demon King Daimaou: first 2 volumes have only textless pictures so I won't consider it either, I assume volume 3 (and 4) will be the same but I'd like to know for sure.
I think so.

@terabyte I recently got the Arifureta volume 1 in paper and it’s really cool. Although one of the illustrations is kinda washed out, it includes the bonus stories and is only $7.49 on Amazon right now. And it’s huge (for a light novel) to say the least.

Unfortunately that only applies to amazon.com and I live in Italy. I also often read while I'm outside the house and/or traveling (like on the train) so I prefer the digital versions I can read anywhere without taking a physical book with me :)

WataFuta Volume 2 Premium Bonuses according to Sam on Curious Cat.
There's a bonus SS and I'll include the full wraparound cover image/textless illustrations like with volume 1.
-
@terabyte as for the Outbreak Company "notes" refere to explanations of used tropes or a special japanese figure of speech.
You can probably describe it best as a kind of glossary.
-
@qeeh thanks for the update. If it's that kind of thing it may be worth it.
In any case I'll wait for a while until they translate more content for Outbreak Company.
-
Hmmm wouldn't it be nice if we had the Bonus content directly on the series page? this would help to have it somewhere anyone finds easily.
-
@saskir I agree. It's something we have to constantly bug @Sam-Pinansky about at every opportunity.
-
It would be nice to have not only the bonus content but the series status too honestly. A simple "Completely translated" or "Ongoing translation (X of Y)".

Correction: the book was just released today. The newsletter was incorrect, the Premium book includes two short stories and some comments from the author (no textless illustrations though.)
Quof got a break.
WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?! -
