@Phredis

Hi, it was also reported in our Discord Server. That escalated the issue to the manga team.

@GeorgeMTO That's a bummer, I'm a physical media guy and will read things digitally if that's the only way, (out of prints as an example) but if I have to wait for a physical copy then that's a small price to pay :-)

sorry J-novel community, I made a classic blunder

@Geezer-Weasalopes - 23-24 are a bit like the sugar route volume where they head off away from everyone to a new land. Also a bit like 22, but without the silly goddess avatars to liven things up. Tenion says so too.

They were less interesting to me than prior volumes though partly because of 23 mangling the first half of the stoy.

From the ending of 24 they will be heading back to the normal Shiga/Saga haunts in volume 25.

I enjoyed 24, but if you're struggling to stay interested you could skip 23-24 and not miss much.

Please be assured that we're aware there is a new volume in Japan, and we're working to get that volume to readers as soon as we can. We understand that it may not be as quickly as readers would like, but we can only ask for your patience and understanding.

@TBthegr81 the price/length metric works if the experience is equally enjoyable, and a lot of people prefer more visual media like anime and manga than books.
My friends are all certified nerds but I'm still the only LN reader in the group, and when talk about anime we like and I mention that they are based on LNs that have 5x more story content, the typical answer is "cool, let's hope they'll make a season 2 then".

Volume 3 is scheduled to release in February 25, 2026

@Lily-Garden

I like 7th Time Loop a lot. I'll look up the other ones. Thanks for sharing.

@Ekun based on the last time Hero Bunko released a volume in December, it might not prepub even in 2026, but yeah still nice to see series people thought were dead continue publishing.

@pcj It's probably planned to be added at some point, but seeing as how age rating systems for books is based on what the publisher decides rather than some sort ratings agency or governing body it may be lower on their priority list, especially since there's no filters for age ratings at the moment.

Rather than a pure suggested age filter (which may be applying a specific country's standards), I'd like to see something underneath that indicates what in the book got it that rating assuming it's not some sort of "E for Everyone" rating. For example, Suggested 12+ for Mild Fantasy Violence. That way people can see it's rated whatever due to violence, gambling, sexual situations or whatever since different people place different emphasis on different particularities.
