@myskaros No, I have not, but thanks for the suggestion. I will try it out right away. And no, it doesn't happen with my other premium ebooks.

Never worked at a so called black company that appears to be all the range in Japan, so I cant relate to the premise of this series.

Yoooooo I forgot about this series!!! I'm hyped up about the possibility of a license now!

This is one of my favourite series. However I stopped reading the WN years ago, once I caught up. I found having to read a chapter week to week tiring and annoying. I have done that with every WN I caught up to with. But in saying that, I'm fine just reading the LN now, especially since there is quite a bit of added content now.

For most streaming releases, they go up at 1200 and 1600 Pacific time. Since we are currently in daylight savings, then it's PDT. When we go back to standard time this fall, it'll be the same times, but in PST instead.

Honestly, "Geordo" instead of Jeord hurt me far more than anything else. I mean... how? Thankfully, names notwithstanding, this seems like it should be a good adaptation.

@LurkingMcLurk Yeah, that does seem to match the pacing so far.

@trashboat That he was hit by a car and died. Gotta say though this is unusual, usually its truck- kun.

Much as I’d hate to start over, I’ve recently run out of what is currently available to read in English (and there’s no immediate prospect of me being able to read my Japanese copies) so despite the length and Sam’s stated aversion to the word Online I’d really love to see this licensed.

@cosm1cfall I'd recommend starting from volume 1, there's some details that are relevant down the line and the world building is pretty solid. They're pretty fast reads

@Malloc Obviously you’ve worked it out, but if you ever see others in need you can point them to these guides and video tutorials that BookWalker Global provide for purchasing in Japanese: https://help.bookwalker.jp/faq/en/990 https://global.bookwalker.jp/info-tutorials/#tut04

You seem to have a mix of web novel and light novel details there, and I think there are both R18 and R15 versions of the WN. The LN isn’t being sold as an R18 title so I assume it is based on the latter. The LN title is different to the WN title: 緋天のアスカ ～異世界の少女に最強宝具与えた結果～ Hiten no Asuka: Isekai no Shoujo ni Saikyou Hougu Ataeta Kekka The author is Kouta Amana, but they went by just Amana on Syosetu. The artist is 218 (pronounced “Niiya”; Kalavinka is their doujin circle name) The publisher is Frontier Works, under the Nox Novels label.

Just noticed a funny coincidence. Part 2 Volume 4 will be fully translated on 2020-05-18 in the US, and the author finished the WN version of Part 2 on 2014-05-18 in Japan

That you for your service on the front lines! Stay safe and stay healthy!

The new Sakura Wars anime got some flack because of its CG animation. But IMO it's a step forward compared to previous CG anime. I think the action scenes and storyboarding were at least pretty well done. I also like how they said the story would be original and not connected to the game. Still dunno if I'd follow it though.

Oh man, just rewatched the series on Blu-ray with my wife and was reminded of how excellent it is. Is "DLC" the sequel, or is it more of a spin-off/side story like Date A Bullet is for Date A Live?

@Jon-Mitchell I imagine the women/girls are into their own fathers, but because of the main character's skill, that infatuation gets redirected towards him.

Found this a few days ago and enjoyed immensely the 100 odd translated web novel chapters. It is a mixture of elements from Pacific Rim, Gate, Grimgar, fantasy and apocalypse. One day, for no reason, monsters start to appear in the world. Whomever kill monsters, can gain experience, jobs and skills. Electricity, internet, phones, civilisation as we know it is gone. The world is overwhelmed in matter of hours by randomly spawning monsters. The story revolves around Kazuto and his struggle to survive using his wits. From time to time, we get POV of other survivors, but most of them has a very short life expectancy. I never felt bored while reading it, writer knows how to build suspense and keep the character on their toes. The side characters has enough depth to them to make you as a reader, root for their survival. However, the story is very cruel and gives off the feeling like you are witnessing the last days of mankind as they get eaten, mutilated and destroyed by monsters. There is 100 odd translated web novel chapters, go read it yourself. Kazuto abusing Item Box for all its worth by squashing monsters with heavy machinery never gets old.
