      Unfortunately, I’m not a subscriber to Sentai’s streaming service, so I’ll have to wait until I can watch it at a friend’s house or for it to come out on disc. :(

      i'd like to add a gripe that sometimes it gets "stuck" on a specific chapter you already finished reading and even after you read past it, it won't show your progress.
      in general i love the idea of "continue reading" and think it's a great addition to the site, but it needs work.

      I want to know if Jnovel is going to publish it?? The volume is already out but i see no plan of publication. Thanks ! Btw i am new here.

      There’s almost always a delay between the Japanese release and when it starts releasing on JNC - sometimes several months.

      If I’m correctly understanding comments they’ve made in the past, when they license a title, it only covers volumes released at the time the license was signed; any future volumes have to be licensed at the time they’re released, and that takes time. In addition, once the license is signed, translation/editing/etc. takes time.

      New volumes are typically announced the same week they start streaming; this is a policy I totally understand, because I’ve seen way too many cases where a company pre-announces a date, something unavoidable happens and the date slips, and the fans go up in arms about it. Or else they cut corners to make the release date, and fans are unhappy then.

      However, it’s almost certain that it will be released eventually. There have only been a couple of series that JNC has not finished, and those were due to the original publisher canceling the release.

      There are sometimes also additional delays due to translator availability. They generally try to use the same translator for each volume of a series, so if the translator who did the previous volume is busy when the license is secured it will have to be further delayed until their schedule frees up.

      Libri Liberorum

      I had a random thought. There are quite a lot of parallels between Rozemyne and Maomao.

      Each has a quirky monomania. They are highly intelligent. They live in highly status bound societies. They have friends and associates with status from monarch down to skilled commoners. They have been both low and high status at different points in their lives, in ways which are pretty much unheard of. While both are conscious of the risks posed by people of higher status than themselves and try to navigate those risks, they struggle to treat superiors with the deference expected of them. They are blind to status in how they place value on their own friends/acquaintances. In both, romantic feelings are very slow to develop, or possibly (in Maomao's case) non-existent. (Although Myne is a child for much of the story, this still holds when she is old enough that she is expected to have romantic feelings.) Both have a "romantic partner" who initially was a mentor to them. (Although these relationships have rather different dynamics. Maomao/Ferdinand are repressed and Myne/Jinshi outgoing and pushing the relationship.)

      Any more that I missed?

      Anyone want to argue that these parallels are not very strong/important?

      Somehow there was no emotional impact of Rozemyne being poisoned. The voice over for Rosemyne doesn't show the extent to which she is suffering under that potion. It was too breezy. I think it is a directorial choice seeing how the voice artist managed emotional scenes in the past.

      The impact of her losing 2 years is also not coming across.. i guess mostly because it was a series of post it notes.

      It is good that they chose to highlight that Ferdinand was coming back to check on her often from the harvest festival. I guess they wanted to pack as much content from the short stories as possible. So none of them have the necessary emotional impact. I am not sure if an anime only person will truly understand the struggles of those close to mybe in her absence.

      I think the primary challenge JNC would have moving into the Korean market is they likely have limited to no contacts with any of the existing publishers over there. Quality KR to EN translators could also be an issue, but probably a smaller obstacle. Unless it's something they've already been doing behind the scenes already, I can't see that anything could happen in the short term, as Bookworm puts it, you have to ensure the groundwork is laid out before taking a major step like that.

      That said, if you're really looking to try and get a print edition of DoD, you might want to see if you can try to steer Yen Press in that direction. Their Ize press label is already printing some KLNs like Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, so they clearly have relationships with Korean publishers right now. I believe Publang got the manhwa print license (though I've yet to see anything beyond the announcement so far which happened at ANYC 2025...)
