Catch Up Titles (April)
-
Anyone else wondering what the March catch up titles will be?
I really enjoyed Clockwork Planet, like the blurb about the catch up month said it is so different.
Didn't mind Daimou either, it's pretty good too, just was overshadowed to me by Clockwork Planet
-
@smashman42 I’d almost bet money that they’ll be Dendrogram and Arifureta.

The big part in volume 3 still has me pondering. I think that'd probably be one worth owning just so I can read and reread that important section.
Some of the repetitive jokey banter gets a bit annoying (walking landmine joke), although the development in volume 3 character wise is already altering some of these personalities for the better... Well, somewhat. =]

I'd definitely like to get Arifureta, that's the one series I've wanted to read on JNC that I haven't seen a catchup for yet :o
-
I want Dendro and Saved Too Many Gals (I think Saved Too Many / Little Apocalypse was on catch-up once already, but I didn't have time for it).
-
Frankly, anything I haven't read yet would be fine with me. Arifureta would be high up on that list for me.
-
@smashman42 Heh, I'll be deciding tonight which to do! ;)
We've also got a lot of new series for people too so plenty of "start from volume 1"s available now.
-
Better late than never, but I was right in guessing that Dendrogram and Arifureta would be this month’s catch-up titles :P
-
Alright, Dendro time for me. I dunno about Arifureta. Maybe catch up with that too.
-
I might actually have to reread Dendro now to see if I can catch any foreshadowing. After Arifureta and my physicals, of course.
-
I already own Dendro so Arifureta it is. Much easier to catch up when you only have one catch up series to fit in a month between everything else I'm reading.
-
I now regret not reading Dendro when I first became a member. Only read the first 3 parts and it's already a good read.
Thankfully I am completely current on Arifureta and can focus on Dendro this month.Once I finish moving.
-
@jampodevral yeah Dendro seems to have become quite popular.
-
@jampodevral
I remember reading the first volume back in August when I first became a member. There weren’t a whole lot of titles that were available from the beginning, and I wasn’t reading much, so when I saw Dendrogram I checked it out and binge read the first volume that weekend. I also remember checking back a couple days later to see the first volume had expired, so in hindsight I was pretty lucky haha. -
Was this note supposed to also encompass the Volume 2 prepubs? Because it totally didn't, FYI O.o
Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
-
@myskaros that translator note has a typo too btw "inconvinience", should be "inconvenience" :P
-
@myskaros They posted about it in the thread, which would be fine and all but she's still Shia in the prepubs.
-
@_08 that we should really fix. Let me bug dxs
-
I bought V1 of Dendro while V2 was in prepub and have stayed caught up since then, so I'm reading Arifureta.
-
Finished binging all 5 Arifureta books over the last 3ish days. From now on, if I ever see anyone trying to tell me that so-and-so LN is totally a power fantasy, I will scoff loudly and roll my eyes, because Arifureta is the goddamn king of "I just made up these new spells and weapons that have exactly the right effects for this specific encounter that lets me win while looking super cool, oh wait let me pause to quickly sex up my harem of superpowered/beautiful/lightly-clothed women."
It's an entertaining read at least, I appreciate a lot of the characterization and soul-searching, and the mythology and overarching plot are quite interesting.
