I had noticed a couple of weeks ago that in the new Bookwalker site they had changed the publisher from nothing to J-Novel Club; now I know why.

Something to point out, though: as can be seen on GoodReads, despite the fact that you are keeping the exact same format for the cover illustrations, there's a mistake at least on book 1 (I'd have to check books 2 and 3 more closely, but I believe those have no issues): in the original japanese edition, as well as in SB Creative's (the original publisher) version, in volume 1 Ai was making a "quiet" sign (extended pointer finger before her lips) on the cover, while she was holding a shogi piece in the inner cover; in your version, she's holding a shogi piece in both.

now, now ... Will JNC add the whole series into their catalog too!?
or will be still only on BookWalker (dot) com ...

it still neither on Amazon Kindle, nor Kobo, neither (Apple) iBooks store ...

Seems j-novel club added the first three volumes here. Now hoping they add the rest. I do have them already from bookwalker but I don't mind double dipping, at least now I don't have to go through all that hassle to read them on my kobo (or re-read them when the occasion appears)...

3 each month is their current plan.

It's hard to know whether it's an author or a publisher that's dragging out a series, and if it's the author why they're doing it (money, attention, lack of ideas for a new series or after story, etc.)

Failure Frame drove me away when it reached a perfect point to end the main story arc, but then the author threw in a reset to drag it out (forever?).

I'd much rather read the Skeleton Knight or Realist Hero approach where the author finishes their arc then starts something new with the story. Otherwise it turns into kid cartoon shows where the bad guy escapes every episode so they can come back next week to sell new toys.

And now it's out! Full deets at: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/10356/the-ryuo-s-work-is-never-done-volumes-1-3-discussion?_=1784144394851

@karasutengu totally fine, just pointing out saying "quick for a manga" isn't relevant here, since it isn't a manga original series.

@Dizyab

Hi,

We have a stock answer about this that does get sent out to anyone who asks.

I am the one who sends them out and I am not seeing any unanswered emails about this. Perhaps it went to spam?

Here is the response:

Thank you for your email. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused.

We are in the process of changing how we distribute our books on Kobo for sale.
As such, we are in a half-state/limbo state where some books are on the new method, and some are on the old method.

Any books distributed on the new method will appear on the sale. Any on the old method will not.

We do plan on bringing all books from the old method to the new method in time. Unfortunately, that means some books part of our sale will not go on sale on Kobo.

@karasutengu said in Livid Lady's guide to getting even Anime:

Update:

The anime is scheduled to premier on Jul 6, 2026 on C-R (according to it's latest update)

Welp the anime started last week and is is spot on (as anime go) with the LN and manga. I specifically like the way they portrayed the MC's father as a cold, calculating SOB that puts the kingdom ahead of everything including his daughter. I hated him.

Just to add onto that, the two series you mentioned are only partially available in readers tier. If you sub to that tier you'll get access to the first 3 volumes worth of parts for each series.

In one or two episodes we'll get the ingredient gathering at the Goddess's Spring. In the book, we get Rozemynes POV: Lessy rocks back and forth, waking her, she finds they are at the spring, events happen. Then afterwards we get Ferdinand's POV when he tells her of the forest carrying Lessy away, and all the men being excluded from the spring by a mana wall.

Because the book is from Rozemyne's POV, this is pretty much the only way to do it. However, the anime depicts a third person POV, so it has the option to present events in strict chronological order. It could go either way, so I'm curious to see what the director chose. (Lessy being carried away by trees could be a fine end of episode cliff-hanger.)

I'm enjoying the adaptation so far. They've really capture Alna's and Dias' characters.

@Lily-Garden where to read online?

No idea,
I just know I’m not giving a single cent to a company that uses AI to translate
