Hi,

Thank you for reporting. We apologize for the inconvenience. When business hours resume on Monday. We will investigate and correct this issue.

Thank you

And on to the episode I missed last week: Caravan!

Interesting - I think Jinshi and Gaoshun's discussion about the caravan is new. We LN readers knew it was bigger than usual, but we weren't told why this was the case... (At least, not quite yet. The Quack spilling the beans to Maomao and co was in the novels.)

Shin's getting introduced a little earlier than she was in the books, too.

But don't think you can gouge me that easily! E-he-he-he-he-he!

...There might be a little too much Grams in Maomao these days...

Quack: "I didn't know you had friends!"
Maomao: ...He's not wrong...
Funny as that was... Maomao has more friends than she'd care to admit.

Ah, yes, the great smelling. 🤣 Those poor ladies-in-waiting... But hey, at least they got embarrassed for a good cause!

And looks like there's at least one more person out there who doesn't want more Imperial Kids...

Anyway, straight on to the next episode: Corpse Fungus!

So, the outdoors tea party. Oddly enough, the first time all series I've had to turn up the volume; at my normal listening volume, Lingli's cries weren't audible and it looked as though Gyokuyou was somehow persuaded by Jinshi staring off into the distance. Such a surreal moment on first watch - I didn't even realise there was meant to be a sound there until I checked the novel!

Jinshi and Gaoshun: "Maomao isn't glaring! Sound the alarm, the end times are upon us!"

Poor Tao. And Poor Maomao: Found the truth, but lost the mushrooms...

So, what have we covered this time? Well, Caravan did The Caravan and Perfume Oil. Corpse Fungus covered Corpse Fungus parts 1 and 2.

So far, we've covered 6/21 chapters in Vol 3. Mostly in order (though we still haven't covered the Prologue).

@talisein You might need to refresh to see the image, but thanks for your patience!

@n33k5 said in Shogakukan's Novelous to use AI translations:

they are seeming to also plan to change names to more westernized forms because "Japanese names are hard."

The MC is named Steve Jones, Yen to dollars, ramen to cheeseburgers. Back to the dark ages of over-localized translations :(

Some stories might survive this but part of why I read LNs is the different culture. It's the same reason why I watch "foreign" movies and TV shows.

Plus, AI LLMs have only short-term "memory" for their token set with no knowledge of anything outside of that small window into the story. No memory of past chapters, characters, or the overall plot to bring to the translation just predicting what an equivalent sentence would be in English.

@Shiroi-Hane Pleh. Slip of the fingers, amirite

@xstationo-0 Vivid Strike has been confirmed to be licensed by Discotek, this will be their last Lyrical Nanoha license for now.

@Ingraman said in an error on Manga that probably needs fixing:

“Cottoned” is perfectly valid, although it’s British English (which sometimes is turfed out in favor of American English).

It shows up in some regional dialects in American English, too. In the American South (or parts of it), for example.

@Neptunia_101

Hi,

The quickest solution would be to download the full ebook from your library and read it on your stock reading app. Like iBooks or Google Play Books.

2nd quickest is to read on the app, not on a browser.

Since you purchased the book it is yours to read on any device you own. Assuming the release date for that book has passed.

Beyond that, without specifics we can not help troubleshoot.

Emailing support@j-novel.club for further troubleshooting with reading on the website.

Thank you

@chaduos said in Bookworm Manga:

J-Novel Club should put some sort of divider between P3V4 and P4V1 of the Bookworm Manga, otherwise P4V1 looks like its the next volume and could lead to manga readers being spoiled. Perhaps the divider informs readers that P3 manga hasn't ended, its simply not translated yet?

https://j-novel.club/series/ascendance-of-a-bookworm-manga#volume-20

hehe, Nah. Leave "Only Manga" readers get spoiled, so they can pass to the original source light novel!! ( ^ __ ^ )

Nah! Just kidding! hehe

I agree, and even more, I think It should have been done between Parts 2 and 3.

@myskaros i really really hope this gets a good studio and budget, because it has the potential to be a pretty awesome anime.

Hello,

We had an issue where it would not load in horizontal mode. That has been fixed. Please try again.

Try reloading, it's been stupid like that for awhile now sometimes not correctly reading that it should be dark mode.

@nohashtag

Hi,

I can’t say I see the same issue. On my iOS app everything loads just fine. All images and thumbnails.

Is it maybe your data? Could you toggle the WiFi on and off. Try cellular connection?

@kuali as mentioned, these are in the Isekai Villainess Otome Game list too:

Lady Rose Just Wants to be a Commoner Lady Albert is Courting Disaster

@Ingraman It’s the true volume 1 cover. I just wanted to do the little suspense thing

I am also frustrated by the lack of author search functionality.

@jazzyjeoff Still ongoing on webnovel since its my main income. At almost 800k words right now, with another 400k or so to go.

Buffer is good, especially if you want to maximize growth and potential profits from patreon. I only have 16 members at the moment for a total of $120 or so a month, but the real money should come when the story goes to Amazon/Audible (or so I hope).

I made the mistake of jumping the gun and not having too many chaps buffer. So now I am suffering writing and releasing chapters daily for two books lol.
