October 2022 Livestream!
-
@Windsagio Unfortunately their printing has not matched the speed. We haven't had a batch of printing announcements since November last year...
-
When I first subscribed to JNC I wasn't sure I was going to find many titles to read. Now I'm here hoping they won't announce too many new series because I'm quickly reaching the limit of how many volumes I can read each month. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the announcement, in the worst case I'll just have to find a way to cut my sleeping hours.

@TheGrimLich Was just thinking that. JNC seems to be accelerating their announcements like crazy.
Which is great since some series are ending (Lazy Dungeon Master) while some other new announcements from earlier this year only had 2 volumes (gag character, oversummoned).
JNC keeps finding things I want to read, though not every new license is my cup of tea.

How much is too much? I can see perhaps too many to get all of their first parts translated and edited, but not so much for just announcing (but J-Novel likes to do both at once :) .
Too many to fit into a presentation with a fixed time limit and still go over other news/topics?
That's only a problem if you keep using those slides that have the title, cover and description of the novel. You could always just shellshock the audience and have a slide that just has like 20 titles and nothing else on it like when companies put up slides of their customers and it's just a wall of logos.
Anyway, pretty excited for this, didn't really have much in the last batch I was really into, so hoping to see a reversal here. Though I am running into the problem of too much to read now... I only keep up with my top novels and read most of the rest of the stuff on the weekend when I have a bit more time.

@jpwong That would be so completely ineffective though.
The purpose of announcements isn't to get people excited about things that people want to see announced (they will get excited about that regardless how big a deal of it we make), but rather to get people interested in things that they didn't specifically want us to announce or realize exist.If we just spammed a big list of titles, people would scan it for ones they know, and completely ignore the rest, defeating the purpose. Which is why we will always do them one by one unless it's a special case like a bunch of rescues or something.

-
@admin lol it was a joke, of course just bombing people with dozens of titles on one slide is going to be massively counterproductive unless you're just showing off all the titles you've already previously announced.
You just need to find someone who can talk like the person who did the old micro machines commercials, then you can wiz through the slides at whatever speed you want.
But how long are your convention panel time slots normally?

Easy solution. J-Novel.club Con.
Then you can get all the time and slides you need.

@morbelek A light novel only convention would definitely be the only thing that would tempt me into an actual con these days, love to see that happen!
-
Wishlist time!!
In anticipation of the livestream here is my wishlist for new series licenses:
To quote @Torka, who I thanks for sharing the existence of this light novel “Thoughts: …do I really need to say it? It’s a light novel about a buff Marie Antoinette. The second volume has her get into a bodybuilding match with Napoleon. How could I NOT recommend this?”
“There’s always a story. It’s all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything’s got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.” ― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky
-
@Lily-Garden Okay never knew I needed to read a novel about a buff Mary Antoinette before, but now I do
-
The art style of Delicious Veranda stood out to me since the first time I saw the licensing topic. I'd love to see it get licensed.
-
@Lily-Garden I've heard really good things about Fake Saint so I'd be well up for that
-
Starting in about 30 minutes!
Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

@myskaros Has the stream been pushed forward? The original post says 2am UTC, which is still over four hours away. Not that I'm complaining if we're getting the announcements a few hours ahead of schedule. 😅

I won't complain either, cause I saw 10 Eastern and thought that I will have to wait and see tomorrow morning.
-
Oh, crap, for some reason I had it in my head that it was at 3 Pacific. Sorry, you're all correct, not for another 4 hours lol.
