      I remember the company. Their "quality" services were atrocious and rarely got better despite the passage of time. I do not have any hopes in regards to the quality of their current repertoire unless they improved significantly. Done of they key factors which drew me to J novel were the previews but also how they brought in the translator for Rokujouma to continue the series. Being aware of that quality, it gave me confidence to give the company a chance. Even Sol Press for all their faults had some quality controls... Actually better than One Peace going from some volumes of Tate no yuusha. Their licenses seem poor, though my Korean is non existent, I have read a few series, and none of those are what I would call "must reads" let alone "must buy" and I've bought many a book on a whim (stares at the 2k plus collection/bookshelves)

      Interested. I like the "Been summoned once, finished, and am back again" setup. I've seen it once or twice in some other series. But this one sounds charming enough that I would read it.

      V5 shows on the front page and on the Release calendar as being released today (1/17) but the actual release date is Monday, 1/18, and has been since "forever". The calendar should be updated.

      @Wellwisher This one sure sounds good, but that IS a huge, glaring flaw you mentioned.... I don't know if my heart is ready to accept a story that'll fizzle out again....

      Some really good answers here! For me it's mostly a mix of what @Rahul-Balaggan and @Jon-Mitchell detailed out... either I want or need to re-experience a specific story that I crave or doing so reminds me of a time and place, when I first read the story. For me, doing so triggers a kind of nostalgia for the emotional experience of having read a particular story. For example, when I was in 4th grade my mother sat down with her copy of the Lord of the Rings that she had probably since highschool and read some to me every night. Then, the following summer, I took the same books and read them to her instead. They sit in my bookcase now, having lost her a year and change ago, and simply looking at them triggers a wave of different emotions, to say nothing of reading them. I don't actually re-read that much though. What does happen pretty often is I'll remember a particular phase or event in a book and I'll pick it up, flip right to it - I've never used bookmarks, never needed them... even as a kid I had an natural ability to pick up a book and flip right back to any part I'd read - and I'll re-read that specific part again. And usually a bit after it as well, of course. Though that really only applies to physical books. I don't know that I can point to any LN's that I've re-read a bunch though. Not because I wouldn't or that they don't deserve it, I think it's more to do with how much new there always is to read. And if I'm honest, I think a large part is also just in how I consume LN's. I am not a digital person, I only have a handful of books in my Kindle account and most of them are cookbooks. I love the convenience of digital, intellectually, but I'm a pure bibliophile... give me printed paper that I can hold and pages to turn, where the decision of where to read can have as much meaning as what to read, and that's where I build those emotional connections. I wouldn't be able to read as much if we didn't have digital, but the cost, for me at least, is that I don't build the same depth as a result.

      @FalseAim Good to know it's not just me. Speaking of those buttons, when I tried switching to 'User' then going back to 'Calendar' to see if that would fix the calendar issue (it did not), my user page's Library was empty. I don't own any of the series via JNC, but I am following a handful of series. The calendar shows that I'm still following these series but the Library is saying I'm not? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/304581646072676363/800140228429086720/unknown.png ^ user page/empty library https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/304581646072676363/800140510840750091/unknown.png ^calendar showing that I am following series.

      V6P6 60%: And so, we went off of the street and into a thicket where we couldn’t be spotted. We didn’t want to be caught illegally camping out in the open, especially not somewhere we could be seen from the street. If you’re gonna camp, you have to do it somewhere where you can’t be seen. Street is usually used in a town or city; road fits the circumstance better. I brought out chairs and a table, a cooking table, a simple furnace, a water tank, cookware, and some ingredients, then got straight to making dinner. stove fits American usage better. We use furnaces to heat houses. Later, she describes the "furnace" as being like a camping/cooking fire.
