@Rahul-Balaggan Ahh synopsis, now that i read the error again. I think it was because all the hidden formatting tag got copied too. When i pasted plain text, it works.

This might happen to other people if they pasted text directly from gdocs editor or pdf file. Might want to put this in faq.

@Libri-Liberorum said in Ascendance of a Bookworm - anime discussion:

My regular architecture criticism, this time of the White tower: It seems a staple of Ehrenfest architecture to have ridiculously long flights of stairs to reach the front door of any noble building. Maybe it is to ensure everyone gets a regular workout?

Yes, what they call "the basement" is what Americans call "the first floor". It's where kitchens and servant quarters are. Not really a place for nobles, especially guests, so they need a way to access the first floor directly. Their "first floor" is what the French call the "first floor".

To further elaborate and complicate things, sometimes the basement is partially underground, at least as depicted in the anime and manga, and Americans may or may not refer to a partially underground floor as a basement depending on how deeply it is underground and the local topography. I have lived in a house that was built into a hillside such that both floors had a ground level entrance (on opposite sides of the building), the bottom floor was referred to as the basement. This is not an unusual arrangement in hilly areas, as building into a hillside allows for reduced excavation needed while still gaining most of the benefits of an underground level. I don't know what the British or French would call this arrangement

I just checked on Chrome on mobile and can confirm it doesn't show up. Unlike an image tooltip descriptions (e.g..as can be seen on XKCD) it does not show up in the details on a long press.

From reading the whole TOC from both this year and the previous-previous one.
I can say,

Max 75k is the whole volume and ONLY contain the story. Yes you have to compress it to 75k max. If impossible, just cut it on a good part for future next volume

Last year participants are encouraged to put outline for the whole series. But this years, there's no mention of it. Better not.

Anything that adds to wordcount is counted. If you put synposis, character profile, and table of contents. Those are counted too.

Whatever the name name of the first volume are (volume 0, volume ex etc), it's still volume 1.

Whether you can keep the series going or not depends on the demands. Just any other series by the publisher.

*notes, i'm not jnc staff. If you want to be sure, reply or dm people with #staff tag on their name

@FrenzyWandere The rules may have changed this year.

Hi,

We are sorry for any confusion. Please email us and we can discuss further.

In the meantime:

The Library Pass grants access to read volumes of a series that are in the Reader’s library.

The Series page on the App and the site has filters for what is available. In the app, please tap the magnifying glass icon to filter, and on the site, we have filters, and I will provide direct links:

Available: https://j-novel.club/series?readersLibrary=available
Partially Available: https://j-novel.club/series?readersLibrary=partial

this week finally volume 7 is coming

Trailer for last episode is out...
Manga readers will have a huge surprise.

Either that day had been outliers, or it has been fixed already, as any Part on the homepage section "Calendar" i see now links correctly to the series page + the volume number.
(Though the actual /calendar still does not link to the volume(#volume-X) on non-released parts)

hopefully j - novel gonna adapt it cuz for sure i will buy all of it , welli already have all physical book and try to translate it in pathreon

Only just watched the anime, didn't realize it came out so long ago. I guess that means there will be no season 2.

Currently on episode 11 and the anime-only spouse is ready to rage-quit just short of the finish line because of how infuriating Eli's insecurities are. 8-) At the end of episode 10 when Eli and Chris were not talking to each other, he said "They're so stupid (because a 5 second talk would have fixed all the misunderstandings), neither of them deserve love." 8-) 8-)

@Rahul-Balaggan It's working now. Thanks for the quick response!

@darkdave Hi! We apologize for the confusion. The date displayed on the site was accidentally set for October, when it should've been set to August, when the volume was set to expire. We'll look into why this happened internally and apologize for the inconveniece.

Was wondering the same thing

it would be nice if this got added, yes!
