V2ch1: Page 9: Your cart appears to be squawking like a bird O.o Page 14: Now your hearth seems to be squeaking like a rusty door hinge haha. I presume it should be "crack(le)" instead of "creak"?

The in-chapter index is incorrectly labeled as volume 1 for both volumes.

@harmlessdave Actually i am not a big fan of that girl in the village (i think her name was sayo) also i am not that interested in that loli, that girl sayo was uninteresting and not as pretty as Asia or Celia, so maybe (hopefully) we don't see her again, to tell you the truth i find her very annoying and i liked when she got rejected XD but on the other hand, i am much more interested in lisselote. spoiler

@myskaros In which case we should have the anime to distract us. Or to complain about. We shall see.

So Rekka's parents are some sort of overpowered heroes and mom met dad in a story as a heroine. I should have seen it coming.

@terabyte “I know that. ’s why I’m fighting so hard This one's just intended as a bit of slurred speech :) But thanks for the eyes as always.

@hiroto said in Ascendance of a Bookworm Vol. 2 Discussion!: There has been many discussion regarding the word choice and such The problem is that any time word choice is discussed, especially in the context of "what would be better," while it can be an educational conversation for you, it's also always an attack on the people working on the book. It's like sitting in a restaurant and loudly talking about how much better it would have been to cook the dish you're currently eating in this other manner; maybe you don't intend to criticize the chef, but to everyone else who can hear you, it sure sounds like that's what you're doing. Especially when you ping the translator, which is basically calling him out and asking him to publicly justify his work. Wanting to learn and debate is fine, but I would suggest you make a new topic to discuss translation and word choice. These volume discussion topics are, again, for discussing the actual story, as well as error reports. If, while reading the translation, you find yourself thinking "wow, that word is really wrong or really different than what I imagined when I read in Japanese," then that's a possible error you could report. Otherwise, it really looks like you're just picking a fight.

HenSuki is getting a Manga Spin-Off Series!!!

@lex agreed - but again I get sibling vibes not romantic ones

For everyone who bought the premium version, it has been updated so the the Textless color illustrations are now viewable.

@_08 said in Regarding [New Life+] Suspension Status....: @vergilx said in Regarding [New Life+] Suspension Status....: the japs This is considered as ethnic slur, fwiw. Thanks for pointing this out. While I don't think the original poster had a malicious intent in using it, it probably would be better if he didn't abbreviate their ethnicity this way. This is what American troops called the Japanese during world war 2 and I know that to some Japanese people it can be extremely offensive. Unfortunately there are a lot of abbreviations for various ethnicities that are considered offensive to those of that ethnicity. I really want them to pick this license back up as well. Unfortunately I don't know if they will. I have stopped holding my breath on it. If Sam knows whether or not they will pick this up now he is probably not saying anything for good reason. From my perspective, it appears he has a good relationship with the publisher, and I am sure he doesn't want to do anything that would risk that.

I doupt we will ever get that serie, even if the publisher become more open to business with foreign market. May be if the serie were to get an anime and SAO level of popularity, but otherwise the Fantrad is just too good and too completed. A legit version wouldn't add much and since it's a 10+ serie it would likely be too much of a risk. Plus the group is making money out of it so it can't be licence like Rokujuma.

@theredjet From the Illustrations I can tell that vol 8. has already been covered by the translated WN

Volume 5 - Part 1: [19%] “Excuse me. Mind if I come on?” ► It should be in. [43%] Truly, the title of weremage suits you. ► It should be Weremage (Capitalized - title). [48%] factions backing the prince and princesses?” ► It should be princes (plural, too)? [56%] Monza came by another sheaf of documents. ► It should be with another. [60%] I’ll analyze those Blast Banes or whatever ► It should be Canes. (I thought the "rabbit" might be getting it wrong at first, but nobody corrects him and the term is never used later on, either.)

FMP! ended pretty well, though I guess it'll be about 2yrs till it officially gets there in English. spoiler

@jon-mitchell almost 0 0%, we have gotten no drama CD scripts for any of the other series that have had drama CDs, and that includes the very popular series like Arifureta.

I am a bit confused, are you implying that if a fan translator is translating a certain LN they should come try to get a job with JNC and translate it for the site? Cause if that is what you are saying you should know that is not how the world of LN licensing works... Plus Seven Senses of the Re'Union is from Gagaga Bunko which means Shogakukan...

@eternal-wanderer That's why her quest for sisters is so difficult: no one sees and accepts the same values as she does.
