One I'd love is the Bookstore one. Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou. Sadly it's ASCII Media Works, so not too likely. But it's a fair sized (7 volumes) completed series.

Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou
Watched the TV series.
Excited for the anime movie~
I love both books and mysteries so, it was really interesting.
The artwork looks majestic too.Suggested it before on Seven Seas' survey.
Well, novels about books.
Wanna see more of theseAnother example would be Dantalian no Shoka

I enjoy isekai well enough. I'd support more titles that weren't isekai, looking at my J-Novel Club stuff, if they did something I'd be interested in.
I completely agree with that, having various series helps give us more options for us to read. But all I've seen are isekai light novel series with the usual summoned, transported, and reincarnated MC, including them waking up as their game character or something else. Rarely seen many non-isekai light novels series, so I'd be interested in anything new as long as the story is good.
Also, does Isekai include series that are purely fantasy, medieval, or historical without the otherworld character element?

"Isekai" literally means "other world," so by definition a series would not be considered isekai without the other world element.

@myskaros alright, alright, I get it now.
But also, when I was thinking of non-isekai series, I remembered an anime from this season that's been adapted from a light novel.
Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens
synopsis: In Fukuoka, crime reaches new heights in the seedy underworld. In the Hakata ward of the city, there are various individuals with special talent who are professional killers, detectives, informants, and professional revenge seekers. Among those, a so-called "killer of professional killers" is becoming more than just an urban legend.It's pretty good series so far, it even has a crossover novel, Durarara!! x Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens.
However, the series seems to be licensed by kadokawa, so still need to narrow down to novels that could be picked-up. -
I was wondering if you guys can Pick up "kore wa zombie, desu ka?" and "Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin", "Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi" along with "amagi's brilliant park". Also im thinking of going premium. how big are the download files?

The average size for Isekai Smartphone ebooks is 15-17 MB. I think the other series should be around that size too mostly.
-
@terabyte also Ive read FAQ and it says pre pub is available to members+ then it would be gone. does that mean after prepub is over non members can read it? does being a member just allows you to read the earlier? or will they not be available to casual people (except the preview chapters)
-
@rusttlemejimmmy Hmm, not the right topic to ask about this if you have further questions. Make a new topic in the support section and I'll be happy to reply there so we don't make this one go off topic :)
-
I don't think anyone has mentioned this one yet so I might as well say it. It'd be nice to see "Inou Battle Wa Nichijou No Naka De" licensed, aka "When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace". I saw the anime a while ago and enjoyed it a lot.
not only that, fan translations for this series have been DEAD and people are still wondering what happens next after the anime.
OH! I also want to see "Noucome" licensed since I'm curious to see what happens after as well
-
@xftg123 yes! god coucome gives me nightmares. also how did you add pics?

I definitely mentioned Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace / Inou Battle before (this thread is very long, but I think a few people mentioned it). Though I didn't love the anime, I wanted to see how the romance played out if at all (I'm team Hatoko here).

Click on that little image icon when you're writing a message (it looks like a square photo with two mountains next to a sun).
You'll need the image URL link to copy past into the (PhotoURLHere) marks.

@terrence thank you!

I decided to have a theme for my Requests and that is Series to Rival Series other publishers picked up:
Chivalry of a failed knight (Rival, Asterisk War):
Slayers(Rival, Record of Lodoss War):
Problem children are coming from another world aren't they(Rival, No Game No Life):
Konjiki no Moji Tsukai(Rival, Rising of the Shield Hero):
I reincarnated as a sword(Rival, So I'm a Spider, so What?):

I like this idea. =]
Another idea is to pick series to replace completed ones JNC has licensed.
I thought they were going to license this with the Mummy hint, but nope (possible replacement for My Big Sister Lives In a Fantasy World?)
Title: Kou DeSu Ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita
-
@terrence I had a few series that were in the "Rivaling JNC books" or "Replacing JNC books" like Only Sense Online as the Pure MMO LN (Only JNC seems to have pure MMO series) I was thinking of having it Rival Konosuba as a Joke, JUST LOOK AT THE GUY TO THE LEFT!

@terrence
I would love for Kou Desu ga to be licensed. It's just like Realist Hero in setting I think. Plus there was really cute flirting in the manga adaptation. Plus it's a Hobby Japan series plus has plenty of volumes. Pretty much perfect strike zone in my opinion for J-NC.@Drone205
Would love for Only Sense Online to get licensed. It's a series I've read and re-read numerous times. It's so sad that fan-translations are pretty much dead. -
For me, Chivalry of a Failed Knight (Rakudai?) is the one I want most from Drone's list. I just like when romances are
I have heard it's really good, so I'll have to see. A lot of people joked that Asterisk War (which anime aired around the same time) was the worse of the two similar titles. I wonder how that's doing for Yen Press.
-
My vote is definitely for Konjiki no Moji Tsukai. It's the first novel series I've read before the other novels, and I really like the story with it being simple, yet exciting and humorous, especially with how the MC
That's how much I like the series so much, even more so when I'm getting tired of seeing this series and others I like not getting translated.
-
Also speaking of mystery novels, it'd be nice to see "B.A.D", or "Beyond Another Darkness" get licensed.
The covers for this is so beautiful
