I always feel Funya-Funya when the last part of a Grimgar volume is finished, I'll have to wait a few weeks for the following volume after all. At the very least I can be satisfied knowing that I didn't have to cry this time around! Good endings are rather rare in Grimgar lol.

@saskir I actually have that installed. From the little that I used, I do think that it's good. Though, I prefer having it on Calibre (It really is just because I wanted to have everything in the same place). Plus I can open them using another app while still having them on Calibre. I'm using Cdisplay. It's a really simple and easy to use app that does everything that I need. It's really a comfortable app to read with.

...and well, if I have to have them all in another place, I probably would just pick Bookwalker. Not because of their app library, since it actually is really bad, but just cause that way I wouldn't have to bother with anything else, and well, I could buy from them. Which actually is something that I want to do, but the fact that I only can have their ebooks on their apps and can only read using them is preventing me from doing it so.
That said, I probably will still buy from them ... though the calibre addon that someone mentioned is looking pretty good

Wait, is it legal to remove the DRM in some countries?? Well, wth. Do you know how to find out which countries can do that? Just made a quick search and didn't find anything.

Thanks for the suggestion and the DRM thing, that I didn't know.

I use calibre to convert the epub into mobi. You could also send it to the kindle conversion service from amazon. Maybe this would work for you better. They will sen you the file either over WiFi or with 3g over the cellular phone.

But for the first two points. I am 100% for this. Kinda bugs me that I can not read my ebooks directly from the official app. Also it is a lil rudimentar function wise.

@village-idiot Don't remember that in the current fan translations, so I guess it's still a bit further off. Wish I could read ahead but Japanese is hard 😝

Considering J-novel is caught up with the fan translation. I think it was part 4 or 5 of the prologue or first chapter for the fourth volume last I looked and the previous update was over a king ago?

The group seems to remove as j-novel moves but again, looks like no updates in a while so they still have vol 2-3 and part of 4.

Technically J-Novel is still a bit behind the WN translation chronologically since the LN moved up the meeting with Genia. WN translation is already in the next arc, at v4c1p6 and still getting occasional updates. Though yeah at this rate JNC will surpass it in the near future.

Wow.

I know she's supposed to be cute, but I find Maya spoiled and annoying. She needs some discipline. Seriously. Her mother is right.

@sam-pinansky Heh, cool. Been waiting for the credit for Infinite Dendogram #2. I'm really liking that series a lot. Will probably buy a credit or two more sometime later in the month as well.

@Traxis
First off the series was not dropped.

Now regarding the schedule, typically at J-Novel the standard practice over here is that once a volume is fully translated there is a 1 - 2 week break before the next volume goes up on the site.

Vol 4 just finished up last week on the 6th but that was a special case more then likely Volume 5 will go up on the 31st of this month or shortly after...

The reason it's not listed in the schedule is cause they can't actually put it up in the schedule till the volume cover is prepared and approved.

Last thing about the schedule I have said this in the past and I stand by it the release schedule at J-Novel is forever changing until a month is fully over the release schedule for that particular month is not set in stone.

Also one last thing about Smartphone specifically normally the volumes were released to subscribers in 6 part batches but going forward that will be in the more tradiational 8 part batches.

p1 65%: idea of what direction of the Divine Vessel lies in. (extra "of")

@terrence No worries.

Going by the manga, Luck is the same age as Firo so he's physically 18 and actually 21-22 in volume 4. I assume Claire is the same age as them as well.

My thoughts on Luck x Eve - no spoilers as I don't know the answer, haha:

@saskir I second this.

Looks like a typo got through, thanks for the correction!

I'd also love to see drama cds get licensed. Also if you need a way to put the text in why not ask the guys at skythewood for help on how to do it since they translated the Overlord and Konosuba drama cds.

You're right how is better than why in that context, it makes more sense.

Latest part really highlights the author's ignorance on firearms. Accuracy in rifles really has very little to do with the design of the weapon, and more to do with the barrel length and cartridge design. Barrel length matters because it affects the ratio of the rifling to barrel length; this is what determines the amount of 'spin' that the round has upon exiting the muzzle, which is what actually gives a rifle higher effective ranges when compared to a handgun. Cartridge design matters, because a larger powder load means higher muzzle velocity; the higher that is, the longer overall range of the weapon.

As for ease of design, if Yuki can manage to design a functional rotating cylinder for a revolver, or a lever-action system, there's zero reason for him not being able to come up with a bolt-action rifle. Or hell, just stick with a lever-action rifle chambered for a larger cartridge; it wouldn't even have to be what we think of as a rifle cartridge in the modern sense; the Sharps .50-90 round looks like an over-long pistol round when you compare it to something like a 5.56x45mm NATO, 7.62x51 NATO, or 7.62x54R rounds.

That major nitpick aside, it does continue to be an interesting read, and I continue to enjoy watching Arlen squirm. I do get the feel that he's being set up to eventually become a sympathetic antagonist; something along the lines of him finding out the church's big secret about alchemy and totally betraying them for love, because he's tsundere for Fiona or some similar trope though.

People already pointed out, but since it already passed some time I will just post this as a reminder. The link for volume 2 for Amazon from this series is broken.

@hatguy12 Nice catch! I just checked yesterday or the day before, and they weren't up yet, so it must be brand new.

@roland Good idea. Jinrui was such a great show!

Reading the afterword, only know I realized that the Jobless Hero series is not only also done by Jyumonji Ao, but also set in the world of Grimgar.

I googled it a bit, and found a translation group that worked on some teaser chapters a couple of years back. After reading them, I really don't know what to say of it.

Anyway, this was another job well done. Thank you very much for the translation.

manually update work THANK YOU!!
