Sol Press Discussion Thread
-
I just purchased my copy(accidentally purchased vol.1 of manga too, but whatever...). About the discussion in this thread, was the copy I got the pre-release version or the fixed one? They said it'd be fixed in a day and it's roughly that now so?...
-
@korppi They said they would let people know once it was fixed. Did they tweet any update?
-
@terabyte They haven't tweeted anything since, and I have no update available in my Content and Devices page on Amazon, so I suppose it's still the pre-release version.
-
@Terabyte Nothing yet...
-
They're fixed...probably?

"Hope that you guys can find it in your hearts to forgive us, but our two newest releases should be mostly up and running now!"
That's not entirely reassuring but I don't have a twitter account so I can't ask them to explain what "mostly" means in this case. Some stores but not others? 60% of the time you get the right version every time?
-
@harmlessdave Given their links it looks like the ebooks are available only on Amazon and Google so far. No Kobo, iBooks, etc. I think the "mostly" was referring to that(?).

I just read the Amazon sample of Redefining the META and liked it way more than expected. Good breezy fluffy fun. I wasn’t planning on getting this but pretty sure I’ll get it once I get through a few more of my LN backlog (I currently have 94 that I’ve bought but haven’t read, told myself no more until I get to 89 - I may have a problem).

That's a nice problem to have :)
I'm caught up with all of the LNs that I follow, though JNC and Yen will be giving me 4+ new volumes in May.
There are a few volume 1's in my shopping cart at Amazon, but with the volume 2's not due until June or July I'm putting off buying them. That way if there are cliffhangers the wait won't be so long.

@the-green-death Nah, you're fine.
I'm at 123.

@nosgoroth Haha, we can form a support group!

Just FYI, all Sol Press first volumes are on sale in BookWalker right now. 80k is pretty fantastic, I’m about halfway through. Battle Divas however is dire so I’d avoid that one.
-
They have an AX panel. Hopefully we'll get some release dates for the continuation of some series (and our Demon Lord Orphanage series starts...).

I enjoyed 80K and both volumes of Strongest Gamer, which is a warmer, much less brutal and more slice-of-life series than Lazy Dungeon Master.
I enjoy LDM too but it's a series where I have to warn people about the more unpleasant moments. SG has none of those.
-
@harmlessdave Strongest Gamer was dropped(?) after 2 volumes though.

It comes to a good conclusion or pause point though. I'd enjoy reading more but I didn't feel like it left me hanging. Since it's slice-of-life there isn't some grand quest.
-
@terabyte it still says ongoing but it didn´t sell that well so you can consider it as dropped
-
Apparently the first volume was released in Japan on October 2015 and the second one on February 2016, over three years ago, so I'd suggest abandoning any hope.

Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@rahul-balaggan said in Sol Press Discussion Thread:
Is this the update you are waiting for?
Pretty much. I wanted an update for Detestable Demon Lord (the orphanage one) and continuation for Harem Royale was important to know the status of too (Idr if those were confirmed fully translated before or not). I'd still like some dates. Maybe at AX.
Sounds like there's two 100% translated super secret projects too that will likely be at AX, whether they be LN or manga (I'd assume they'll have more licenses to announce there too that will take a bit longer?).

I'd still like some dates.
Sol has been weird with release dates. I think it was last month (or the month before?) where they suddenly put out the dates for three different volumes, just a few days to a week before the actual release.
If they continue this trend, then you'll learn about the date about as soon as you can order it.
