Part 1 7% He could feel the gorging of flesh. --"gouging" 20% The killing continued across battlefield. --insert "the" 35% For village like Lag with a population of not even 1000, the loss of so many capable workers was a heavy blow. --insert "a"

@jampodevral Regarding the "curse": spoiler

I do get the Realist Hero vibe. Our protagonist is older, educated, bringing his ideas to life in the new world, and has no power or cheat. In contrast, he's a commoner (and terrified of being killed by some irate noble) and doesn't have a harem of future (well, not anymore) wives. I seem to recall Souma doing a fair bit of expository, so we'll call that a tie. Overall, I like it. Let's see how things go once we get past the introductory stuff. One last thing. Who's that girl pin the cover? Mia? It can't be the princess unless the illustrator changed her hair to blue.

@raitoiro It's not a hint, I'm just saying that when there are new things, they will get their own topics, they won't be added to this topic.

@hiroto You could be able to use a reshipper, quite a few reasonably priced ones over there.

I haven't gotten through samples of all the new licenses yet but I binged this one late last night and I figure it'll probably be one that I keep following, at least for the near future.

And there goes Jacob. === Volume 3 - Part 4: [11%] “What the...? ► The dialogue's closing double quote is missing. [27%] escape your grasp. Yes... just like your son. ► The dialogue's closing double quote is missing. [33%] “Sven... Um, I know how you feel, but you’re scary!! ► The dialogue's closing double quote is missing. [87%] Avei, Sven’s old self, was AI for a Hunter Unit. ► It should be the AI?

@gamen the prophecy left by the 6 great gods stated that the heroes will be summoned in the year 1000. Reis actions may or may not have any correlation with the summoned hero's.

@lex You mean like Souma during the visit to Juna's cafe? Yuuto in Ragnarok?

@theloo Sam said at the ANYC panel that he is interested in getting school romcoms, but the publishers he has connections with done usually publish stuff like that. JNC has never licensed from GA Bunko, and Kadokawa as a whole sounded like it is difficult and expensive to get brand new stuff like this, which just came out in April 2019.

@amakaze JNC paperbacks are supposedly sold in some European bookstores, and I believe some Australian ones. Not to mention anyone in the world can order them through BookDepository with free shipping.

It'll be interesting to see where the romance goes. Only on V1, so we shall see (V2 expires next month though too, so gonna have to read it quickly). I saw The Anime Man did an Interview with the creator of Combat Baker, so I'll give that a looksie at some point too. https://youtu.be/mQj4lgp6Qdo

@farmerdad Or Smartphone is subsidizing a lot of other stuff.

Easy solution: Read everything. I will admit though, with the number of new titles getting added, that is starting to be quite a challenge. Kind of like watching all the anime released in a season. Although the quality level here is much higher. Edit to add: Currently, I've got a backlog of 24 parts to read, with more getting added every day.

Part 1 85%: "doing nothing practicing sword" > "doing nothing but practicing sword" 96%: "there's point in me stepping" > "there's little point in me stepping"

rally enjoyed reading parts 8 and 9 quite action packed and the old Knight was really cool

Damn, this was like top 10 best cold openings in a LN I have ever read.

@farmerdad Well at worst, there would be no visible improvement on the number of sales. This doesn't affect much on the existing fans but for the English license, I don't know tbhn. Regardless, Assassin Pride is supported quite well in JP already so it can be a factor too.
