It took a few extra days for Amazon to add the digital edition, but 80,000 Gold volume 7 is now available there along with the other stores.

Sadly Fruit and AWS are gone for now, but Hanashi is still releasing new LNs.

Yesterday's release was Observation Records of My Fiancée volume 2, which completes it. Volume 1 was a fun take on the otome game villainess genre where she's a sweet girl a bit like JNC's Lady Albert volume 1 where she's trying to be the villainess to give others their good ending. It's also all from the POV of the non-isekai prince she's tying to help.

This makes me want to go back and reread the series. It’s been so long, but I remember enough that very little surprises me. I’m just enjoying the story on screen.

Volume 5 is scheduled to release in April 7, 2025

I've commented on this before: Amazon bends to almost any complaint / campaign of 'inappropriate' content in a LN/manga. (never mind that outright 'adult only' content is a-ok among general literature - but adult themes or skimpy outfits are NOT ok when the cover art style is pre-conceived as 'for kids')

all that aside: Bezos has enough $$ why help him get another nickel and forgo the bonus content (and better publishing/formatting of your ebooks) by getting direct (here) ?? DRM free and easily ported o your kindle device (or any other device if you change in the future), less money, (might even be free with your membership!) just seems like a waste

sure, buy 7seas content from Bezos if you must, but why spend more for JNovel titles and get less for it?

@Senshi00 Will look forward for these. Have seen some amateur translation and would love to see a professional translation team doing this novel.

@K1_217 update: its working again, sweet. Thank you so much to whoever fixed it.

@GeorgeMTO said in Can I download my ebook to my computer:

@baka500 yes, from the library page there's a download button, and you'll get an epub file you can read on any device or application you want.

Yup, that's right the library is where you can download epubs and find out if your epubs have been updated. You can then use PC based epub readers, read them on your phone using apps like Moon+ Reader for Android, or at least for now unofficially use Calibre to transfer them to your Kindle. Amazon currently also allows you to upload epubs up to 200 MB via their website which will then be added to your Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle

For the avoidance of doubt, this is only for e-books you buy directly from JNC (known as premium edition digital books). This does not apply to prepub books you can temporarily access due to your subscription (including rentals) or to books you buy via third party stores like Kindle, Kobo, etc. You cannot download prepub books or rentals, and have to read them using the JNC website or the official or third party apps.

@BartzBB said in The Mentor in a Frontier City:

It was mentioned in Private Tutor's Volume 9 Afterword that this is a prequel to the series and is set in the same world.

Please license this next!

That's interesting. You would think they would license it in that case.

Please don't go the salad bowl way... hope it ends up getting a good TL by anyone.

Better cover differentiation

Volume 1 (old) ↓

Volume 1 (new) (panoramic) ↓

(I might be repeating) While the old series has 18 volumes spread across, the newer one is essentially an omnibus, an analect and compendium, taking that 18 and spreading it over 7.

I figure it would've been better to show the images outright... so yeah. There it is. Woohoo.

@RobD Me too, one of my top 3 favourite LN series. I can't wait for the king-related shenanigans...
