Delays in Continuing Series (Fall 2019)(All Fall 2019 Delayed Series have Resumed)
-
@andy-morales Email jobs@j-novel.club with your resumé and wait for a response, I guess.
-
The feeling is somewhat uneasy when it is said the editors (or translators) are exchanged to "speed things up". I rather prefer to wait and keep the same team to ensure the same quality rather than having a new release faster. I would not mind waiting an extra year, if the delay is reasoned well.
Sorry for my bad English - it is not my native language
Give Pens Down, Swords Up: Throw Your Studies to the Wind a try. It is that good! ♡(>ᴗ•)
I like it as much as Realist Hero ♡ -
@serah They aren't exchanging editors/translators to "speed things up." It's cause the previous staff have left the company for one reason or another.
-
@aruseus493 I see. Thanks for the clarification.
-
Yea, the phrase “getting up to speed” is a common one in English that just means to become acquainted with current events, not to actually go faster. The new editors are getting accustomed to the translation and writing style of their respective series in order to maintain the consistency in future volumes.

HOORAY!
-
So, to recap, only Ragnarok and Bakarina are left from the initial list of delays.
-
I wish both Ragnarok and Bakarina returns before the end of the month.
-
@bartzbb I actually hope they stay away a little longer. With the return of a lot of series I was following and the addition of a bunch of new series at once, I'm struggling to not fall behind more. I'd like to see some of the most recent volumes of series that are otherwise caught up end first.
-
Yeah. Bibliophile Princess and Engagement of Marielle Clarac just adds to my reading load. As much as I'd like to see how much mayhem Yuuto is going to unleash, I could use the break.
-
Personally I need Ragnarok back because I'm running out of things to read. A lot of the series I read are caught up, or about to catch up to the Japanese release and there hasn't been anything of interesting to replace them.
-
@timmaaah “Nothing to replace them?” What? Have you missed the huge surge of licenses the past couple months?
-
@legitpancake I just caught up with all the new series yesterday, except for the two that went up this week.
I think only Hitchhiker's Guide to Isekai is left of the titles announced at Anime NY that hasn't been released yet.
-
@legitpancake "nothing interesting to replace them"
Just because there were 15 or something licences announced all at once, doesn't mean I found any of them appealing. Which is fine that I don't like them because I'm sure that there are people out there that do enjoy them and that's great. But personally, going through the list in order of most recent licences, of the last 42 licences there are only 4 series that I'm currently reading. However from the remaining 36 licences before them there are 19 series that I'm following or completed (not even counting the series that got removed from the site). A lot of these series are caught up with the Japanese release and there are some that are completed.
So getting Ragnarok back would be great since it is one of the series that I do enjoy and it still has quite some time until it catches up with the Japanese releases. -

Couldn’t of said it any better. Personally, all the recent announcements except for Underdog are unappealing, boring, forgettable, and definitely not my cup of tea.
Onto the topic at hand, I’ve got a lot of catching up to do, so I’ve got a lot to read. Feel bad for you, not having stuff to read.

@legitpancake said in Delays in Continuing Series:
@serah Ragnarok is being edited now by @Fyurie, and they are reading through the series getting acclimated on the writing/TL style. I don't think the new editor for Realist Hero has revealed themselves yet.
I finished reading through the series for acclimation a few days ago. Progress on 11+ should continue apace in the near future, with any luck!
