A Tale of the Secret Saint novel

@windsagio Pretty much agree, now that I've had time to read volume 1 part 2... :)

Volume 3 is currently scheduled for July 19 in paper. Lots of stuff to fill the gap until then, but now I've got half a dozen different series that are in "why is it taking so long?!" status.

@someoldguy It's the one terrible thing about both Yen and SSE, incredibly slow schedules with frequent delays.

I was settling in to read Death March volume 16 on Monday evening, checked my Kindle, saw nothing. Went to Amazon -- delayed again for another week?!

(Vader) NoooOOOOOOOooooOOOOOoooooo!

@harmlessdave My group of April 19 releases are now split between the 19th and 26th. Rascal Does Not Dream v7 is delaying my watching the movie, which covers v6 and 7.

I rather enjoy this series. Shame it comes out so dang slow.

That whole garbage with Amazon right ticked me off too. I had it preordered, then I saw it was delivered but I didn't feel like reading it then and there... fast forward 2-3 weeks and I decide to read it. Come to find out it's the manga. Too late for a refund. Grrrr......

Finally got Vol 2 proper and I enjoyed it, though not as much as Vol 1.

@kilocron I was lucky enough to check it on the day, so I got my refund, but... yeah, there's a strong whiff of 'they just didn't care' about how Amazon handles this stuff.

And honestly, I can't help but think folding Comixology in to the main Amazon library will only make the situation worse in future :(

Yes, right now when I see "from amazon and comxiology" it warns me that I'm looking at a manga title. When that goes away I expect I'll be bitten by the manga-by-mistake mistake too.

Windsagio

@kuali Yeah, it's already way worse.

Just folding the storefronts is already a nightmare for ease of use, and automatically putting all the comics into kindle AND the comixology app is both confusing and leading to things like double downloads (yeah it doesn't track downloads of the same thing across platforms)

Kilocron

I can't stand that.

"Oh look here... there is a new Volume of X!"
"....."
"Dammit it's the damn manga!"

I also wish I could have Amazon filter out JNC Titles since I read all those, well... here
