Not able to download Feb 1 released books

I don't think you uploaded the books for downloading yet.
Paladin and Mixed bath both aren't available for download even though the button is clickable. -
Yeah, it shows this error message:
{"error":{"name":"Error","status":500,"message":"ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/deploy/ebooks/the-faraway-paladin-the-boy-in-the-city-of-the-dead.epub'","errno":-2,"code":"ENOENT","syscall":"open","path":"/home/deploy/ebooks/the-faraway-paladin-the-boy-in-the-city-of-the-dead.epub"}}
Which looks to be the same issue I had with Little Apocalypse last month... Will this keep being a reoccurring issue?
-
@Gilyu Pretty sure he has to do this manually, which he didn't get around to yet today.
-
Yeah, that's what was said last time as well, but it doesn't feel very polished to have it "available to purchase" and just get raw error messages if we try to purchase it...
-
@Gilyu He really needs to get this site automatically pushing stuff out. What if his bed riddenly sick one month and we get nothing?
-
Ah, I forgot that setting the release date to the 2nd means it sets it to the local time not US time...
I've bumped it up to tomorrow as I was planning on finalizing the premium ebooks today.
Thanks for your patience.
And if I get sick, well, there are some people who have access but no one who has the ability to do everything I'm doing right now... Startup business and all that, I'll start hiring people when I'm not hemorrhaging funds.
-
@Gilyu Yeah, I should at least have the error message be a little more user friendly.
FYI all it is is a "file not found" error. the system takes that epub which I upload to the server, then adds in the personalized information and sends it to your browser. -
Just FYI The Faraway Paladin is now available!
Mixed Bathing should be ready in maybe 30 minutes... Depends how long it takes me to crop those sexy ladies. -
@Sam-Pinansky Hopefully when you say crop you don't mean we are losing some of the artwork
:o there's a chance for Romance in Paladin! yay!
-
@Bryan Naw, it's just that the materials we get often include things like the "tonbo", i.e. margins that are off the page, etc. If I do any cropping it's just to conform it to the way it was intended to be printed.
In this case, there are 3 bonus images including a signed sketch thanking everyone for the reprinting of volume 1, a new illustration that was originally a Gamers in store exclusive, and the source illustration of a limited edition mini poster that's basically a dakimakura cover.
-
@Sam-Pinansky Oh nice! Too bad you can't sell merchandises here yet. But Heroine Fan service as bonuses are the best I can wish for!
-
@Bryan Once we get into the "making money" range I'd totally consider commissioning exclusive new art as premium bonus material too. Well, we can dream ;)
-
@Sam-Pinansky Sorry if this has already been answered, but what is the premium content for Paladin?
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@Sam-Pinansky that would totally be awesome! Roughly at the current rate will you be in that making money range this year possibly?
-
@Rahul-Balaggan interview with the author. Questions were from us.

@Bryan thanks

Unfortunately, this is a question that probably can't be answered. Or rather, shouldn't be answered since it could cause complications or concerns to not only the membership but also 3rd parties. I suppose for now we'll just have to do what we can to try and keep the situation favorable.

@Rahul-Balaggan That would help!
But seriously, my business plan is sound and we are on track to grow into profitability within the first year.
If you want to know more either license me content or consider investing ;) -
@Sam-Pinansky I wouldn't mind investing in your business if you can give me the details and let me know what I'm getting in return for investing. I'm not talking about just buying books. I'm sure you have my email from my account so feel free to contact me about it.
Also it's great to hear your business is going to be profitable in the first year! Must get all those fan service artworks for Grimgar etc. before the volumes all catch up!
