      So I was trying to figure out what other works were by Hitsuji Gamei as it was mentioned in the description of After-School Dungeon Diver but clicking on the author tag on the series page only listed After-School Dungeon Diver (https://j-novel.club/series?search=author:"Hitsuji Gamei").

      After looking up who they were I believe that they are the author of things such as The Magician Who Rose From Failure, so I looked at it's series page and realised that on that page (and the other series by the same author) they are instead listed as Gamei Hitsuji (https://j-novel.club/series?search=author:"Gamei Hitsuji")

      Assuming that they are the same person would it be possible to make them match for if someone else wants to know the same thing as me when they read the description of the series?

      Thanks

          I suspect this is yet another instance where different Japanese publishers wrote different English renderings into the license contract; same author, different Japanese publishers, the different Japanese publishers disagree as to whether to maintain family name first for the author's name in non-Japanese licenses. Sometimes the names have the same order but different transliteration methods. It also happens with illustrators.

          While there are ways to create a link between the differing spellings my understanding is that it's a non-trivial exercise and rather far down their list of "things to do" concerning web site improvements.

            Ah okay, if it might be a license thing I can see it not being as simple as just changing it to match the others then.

            Maybe a simple way to get around it would just to change the description from
            "A brand-new fantasy adventure from Hitsuji Gamei begins!"
            to something like
            "A brand-new fantasy adventure from Hitsuji Gamei (Creator of works such as The Magician Who Rose From Failure and The Magic in this Other World is Too Far Behind!) begins!"
            or something but I can understand not wanting to do that either as it doesn't really flow right when you read it.
