      Can someone make sense of one of the hints that matched up with the Undead title (Hints set #2 are for this, right?)?

      "Not Part of the Horizon Series"


      The next one is the only one I may be able to correctly guess as Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita.

      I'm going out on a limb on this one, but the hints point towards mummies. That'd be a cool pair of sort of gothic fantasy creatures oriented stuff, one serious (?) the other light-hearted... I think.

        I look forward to you being right too. It's like a more light hearted version of Realist Hero I think.

          That one turned out to be undead adventurer, though.

            Someone called Infinite Stratos at some point, right? I know people requested it.

                Infinite Stratos is such a huge curve-ball. Better late than never indeed. Guess we'll have to wait more for Mushoku Tensei. At least we'll finally get to read what's next since the fantranslation has been dead for ages. We should be caught up in a little over a year.

                  IS seems like a pretty big deal still (the anime was marmite but popular and not too too long ago). I enjoyed it for what it was - dumb and trashy, but comfort food fun. No trope too trope-y! I’m actually quite excited to read and compare as this’ll be the first LN that ive seen the anime first.

                    So Hint 3 was Undead Adventurer, not Hint 2 set? Interesting.

                    So hint 2 is still up in the air? Not part of the Horizon series + an army of evil.

                    And we still got that Not a Light Novel hint one.

                      @terrence IS is army of evil and not part of horizon series.

                      Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

                        Wait, what? I figured IS was "Better Late than Never".

                        I'm so confused... So I guess Mushuko Tensei is still a possibility for hint 5.

                          It seems this is the "half of the army of evil" means

                          @paulnamida Can't really say about the Horizon clue but the "half an army of evil" clue is...

                            Never knew IS is under Overlap now. I sorta lost interest after the author had that fight with MF and saw no new volume come out till 2 years later. Nice to know I can eventually read the continuation.

                            Also sorta wish Skeleton Knight in Another World was the one instead of Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha. I liked the WN translation and since the WN stopped getting LN officially translated would be nice. Still gonna read it though since I am interested.

                                Surprised IS wasn't licensed in its hayday. Takes me back though.

                                Laura best Girl. Fight me.

                                    @tremorc seconded, it still baffles me everyone keeps misspelling her name. #CharlotteBestGirl #TeamCharlotte

                                      Indeed, Charlotte is the best choice.

                                            @sam-pinansky the novel "The Unwanted Undead Adventurer" on the announcement page is missing the link to its title page (unlike the genius novel). Also "Infinite Stratos" is not listed on the page yet either, or was that LN outside of the 5 hints given there?
