Random request

No idea what it's about. But I see harem tag, cute girl on the cover, and a battleship. So sign me up for service @Sam-Pinansky. The author had some bad experience with twitter where they pulled his ad cause of bullshit reasoning. At least, that's how I discovered this series a while back.

@aruseus493 I found about this one because of the same twitter fiasco!!! I guess in the end it worked out better for him with the controversy.

The more that people are always talking about light novels that are a part Kadokawa, the more depress I am at the reminder that any of those series are most likely never going to get translated.

@kite-xx The more we request and buy, the better J-NC comes across and can hopefully become more appealing to Kadokawa.

@aruseus493 I’m not the patient type, but alright.

Having computer problems, so can’t really put up a cover from my phone. Anyone interested in Berserk of Gluttony or Sayounara Ryuusei, Konnichiwa Jinsei

It seems that volume 8 of Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechu (Skeleton Knight, in Another World) is the last one in the series (the main story at least). Or so I read a few minutes ago, and taking a quick look at the afterword that got recently translated it says:

Although the ending seems to imply more to the story, that’s because I wanted “the world continues even if the story concludes” type of atmosphere.

and

The main story of the WEB version is finished, I don’t know if I’ll write a sequel like series, I’m consulting with the people in change, so if there’s a volume IX I hope you’ll support you.

I've seen it mentioned a few times in this topic, not to mention it is from Overlap, so it would be "easy" to get a license for it.

Summary:

The protagonist fall asleep while playing an online game. However, he awoke in a strange world with his game characters appearance. In a state of shock, he noticed that he was equipped with nothing but his strongest weapon and armor. To make matters worst, our hero’s appearance was changed by the special avatar skin "Skeleton" when he enters this new world. The protagonist wanted to live without drawing attention, but he got acquainted with the dark elf Ariana and received her request.

Just to understand, the “skeleton knight” is over, right? “Oooh, for all good things to come to an end! It is such sweet sorrow.”

Sorry there, joking aside, but seriously, it’s over?

@terrence sign me up. Haven’t read a full romance series yet.

@aruseus493 I really want to read the first one you mentioned. One day I hope.

Gosh, I wish someone would translate Hello Work. The Fan Translator stopped translating on the web page due to ... something with some people maybe, but he moved it to Patreon-only. I'm more than willing to buy, but Patreons for fan translations make me uncomfortable, so haven't seen it since.

@drone205 what’s the last one about? Seems like a guardian protecting a child or maybe a father. Also the second one seems like a fun read. Idk but I can see it being a comedy.

I posted this one recently during the "unique hair colors" theme, ha ha. You don't see green haired characters as lead romantic gal too often, especially a green haired maid (usually blue after Rem).

Oh god no. Two blondes on cover 1... Two. The blonde take over at JNC would start up again in earnest. T.T

@hyferzftw No offense to @Terrence's attempt (good effort!), but that stock summary really doesn't describe what it's about at all >_>

5 people are transported to another world, 4 of them are friends and agree to help the human kingdom fight the demons and the beastmen, but the 5th, Hiiro, has the title "Innocent Bystander" and is just a random classmate, unassociated with other 4. He is suspicious of the kingdom's motives, so he opts to leave and travel on his own. He finds out that he has "Word Magic," which basically allows him to write words and gain that effect, which is even more powerful since he can use Japanese kanji. In his travels, he meets various people of various factions and discovers that the relations between the 3 races is not what the human king would have them believe.

It's a good story, I read most of the WN fanlation. I would say it's most similar to Arifureta, except no open harem, Hiiro isn't as over-the-top overpowered like Hajime is, and there's no emo edginess "man against the world" to it.
