Petition for English physical copy Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Trusted Companions Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to the Gift of an Unlimited Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out For Revenge on My Former Party Members and the World

Just started watching this series and I really hate reading e books I only collect and read physical copies. Theres gotta be some other weirdos out there like me who only read physical so would love to see this series get a physical copy.

Digital sales are significant when determining if there will be a print edition.
J-Novel stresses this all the time; titles that don't do well with digital don't get physical.You want a physical copy?
Buy the digital copy to prove the market. -
I can understand how things work from JNC perspective but having to buy something I don't want to get something I want never sounded really convincing to me.

shrug Convincing or not, it’s reality.
Paper print runs are expensive for a digital publisher. It’d be insane for a publisher to go to that expense with a series selling poorly in digital.

buying a kindle after Christmas the buy the digital for this and for another novel that's digital only. Stupid but if it's all I got it's all I got lol.

@gokuzz I wouldn't necessarily recommend a kindle for that (they certainly do the job, but Amazon can be quite controlling about what you can put on them and how). Might be worth taking a browse through some of their competitors' lineups - like Kobo or Onyx - to see if you like one of those ereaders better.
(I'm assuming you're gonna get an ereader because you don't want to read books on a PC or phone. I use a Kobo Sage for my longer reading sessions for pretty similar reasons...)

@gokuzz - It's true the Kindle doesn't accept any DRM books except Amazon DRM, but they have made it really easy to send a JNC or Baen or other DRM-free epub to the device.
This web page lets you browse to the epub then they add it to your kindle, it's even easier than using the free Calibre software since you don't need to connect the kindle to your PC: https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle
Also, the "with ads" Kindle just means it shows a book ad on the power off/on screen. There are no ads that interrupt your reading.
