Catchup Titles Archive (Updated to March 2024)

Ahh, I forgot to also put Faraway Paladin in my list of things I know I want to check out.
License Wishlist: Kino's Journey, Crest/Banner anthology, SukaMoka
Favorite JNC Series: Bookworm, Faraway Paladin, Dendro, Grimgar, Crest/Banner of the Stars, Tearmoon Empire, Skull Dragon's Precious Daughter, Apothecary Diaries, Otome Heroine's Fight -
Despite what the covers and title suggest, it is one of the most wholesome isekai/harem light novels I've read. Yeah there's frequent bath scenes and all the fanservice that comes with that, but it still feels innocent and sweet. He wants to bathe with the girls, yes, but he is upfront about it, explains how his power works, and confirms whether they are okay with bathing together every step of the way. The characters actually communicate with each other, and consent is very important.

Yeah, as I said, I've heard good things of it. The only reason I didn't check it out before is because I don't like picking up series that are dropped(?). But volume 6 is finally come out which was the last push I needed to decide to read it.
I'll just have to live with the fact that the author is really slow in publishing new volumes. V5 took 1 year and 3 months and V6 took 1 year and 10 months 😧

@yumenokage You definitly should try the Faraway paladin it's one of JNC best series and overall a great LN.
The manga isn't nearly as good tho. -
I also forgot to put Realist hero in my catchup wishlist. So it's actually, if I'm not forgetting anything else, in no particular order,
- Faraway Paladin
- Elf Bride
- Realist Hero
- Seirei Gensouki
- My Next Life as a Villainess
- Grimgar (but sometime later this summer rather than this month)
-
@sinnoaria I can understand what you are saying about reading speed, though I can only hit 12-14 in a day if I'm reading like that.
The only issue I run into is that I tend to not immerse myself in the world of the story and enjoy it less as a result. You must have amazing processing capabilities in comparison to me then.
P.S.- Sorry for the necro post. -

@sinnoaria Have you tryed Kindle quick reading ?
At 900 words per minute it should be fast enought even for you, it does take some time to get use to reading that way tho. -
May 2019 catchups:
- Kokoro Connect
- Amagi Brilliant Park
- Lazy Dungeon Master
- Seirei Gensouki
-
First post updated.
I'm not reading Kokoro and I'm caught up with everything else. I'll hope Mixed Bathing shows up on catchup next month.

People keep saying nice things about it so I'd like to give it a try too.
I might try Kokoro even though it doesn't sound at all like my cup of tea. I already have all of Lazy Dungeon Master (well, once the premium epub for 5 is out) and Seirei Gensouki.
-
If I can give my own take on Mixed Bathing (Spoiler Free)
It started slow, real slow but after the first 25% of V1 it has been great, it honestly amazes me how something could be so boring to start and then be great consistently for several volumes.
All my own reading experience.
-
I will try Amagi Brilliant Park, I had enjoyed the animation some years ago
-
@renofury Just remember that the Amabri anime used many parts of the novels to spin a slightly different narrative, on a more compressed time line. Things do not happen in the same order.
Having some time between watching and reading avoids many of the, "Why didn't X happen?" moments. Lots of different Xs happen, but in a different context, at a different time.
-
I really want to buy Amagi and Kokoro, so no catch up on those for me this month.
I don't know if I'll jump back into Seirei.
-
I actually want to read LDM all over again cause I really enjoy the story.
That being said it hasn’t been that long since I read V1 so the story is still fresh in my head, I own all the books so it won’t be an issue but maybe on my lunch break this week I will just breeze through V1P1 again.
-
I’d read 7/8 parts of Seirei Gensouki before it expired (I took some months off from LNs last year) and so I just finished the last part now, great story! I’ll try to read at least vol 2 this month. Maybe more. There’s something I really like about this one.
I’ve read about half of Amagi vol 1 before so I’ll finish that too. Might read LDM 2. I own Kokoro 2 so there’s not the rush
-
I dropped Seirei Gensouki after finishing volume 1. It's the only catch up this month I'm not current on. Did it get good?
-
Noooo, I wasn't done with Dendrogram! >_<
I thought I'd still be safe for a few days because April catchup started so late...argh.Nothing for me in May. AmaBri and Kokoro Connect were the reason I joined, so I'm caught up there, and the other two are not my thing.

Yea, it would be nice to refresh the memory before the new volume starts.
Nothing for me from the offered selection, but then again, there aren't that many series I read here anyway.
