      @GeorgeMTO
      Thanks, I did figure out Late-Start Tamer after going to my library to see if it was someone I had bought books of before. But I had no idea about Reincarnated as a Sword. Seriously we need a better search function.

      @MrMonday
      Necroing is fine; if JNC staff desire a topic be dead they lock the topic. And they do lock topics.
      Having it all in one topic makes it easier for JNC to consult, or at least that's my take on it.

      Having said that, yeah, it'd be nice if there was, say, a standard thesaurus of tag terms JNC used so they were consistent in how they assigned tags.
      If readers could access it that would be lovely, but even if it were JNC staff only...consistency is good.

      The issue has been fixed, from the discord:

      Thank you for your patience and apologies for the long wait. There was a miscommunication about the where the parts should be split that led to some missing text. But now the missing text for Water Magician Volume 5 Part 6 has been added in

      @Perplexed said in Could J-Novel run Kickstarters for series over 5 years old?:

      The advantage with something like a Kickstarter is they can make sure they don't lose money, as long as they budget for the cost of translating with the license cost as part of the goal. Then if it reaches it's goal they will have already covered the cost of doing it (with presumably some profit margin that would also included in the goal) and any books it sells after the Kickstarter will just be profit as because J-Novel club does digital first there will be no additional cost of printing more books (that said they could do a stretch goal for a physical edition but then they could just make that for the kickstarter backers only if they didn't want to print more after).

      yea - as Geezer pointed out it won't work (you need permission/ the license to launch a campaign on kisckatarter or whatever--but it might work in reverse. If an author wanted to have one of their older works translated - they could use kickstarter to raise the funds and HIRE JNC (or some other group) to translate and then subsequently market the end product ...(the author still risks losing face if the funds aren't raised to hire a pro like Warnis )
      Guerilla marketing (assuming the author OWNS the license) he/she could just 'look the other way' if a prominent fan translation site just so happens to post a chapter by chapter translation of a work ...see what interest there is, then go from there (that would be the cover story anyway. In reality, the author and translator would be collaborating. when (IF) enough hype gets generated - the author makes a statement that although they are flattered that so many fans are interested, licensing must go through proper outlets, "please support the kickstarter instead"

      or

      an author could enter a writing contest incognito, pen a work in English (or translated to English) in a setting that is famous from a series that is old (or a side story or something - close enough that the lampshade hanging is obvious) to gauge interest and if it's a 'hit' approach JNC to translate/market something from the back catalog

      @Christian-Bartlett-7mpfcnb I feel like the monthly catch-ups are always announced on the first of the month unless it is a holiday or weekend. Then it will fall on the next regular business day. It also is normally announced late in the day (depending on your timezone), which can provide some people with an extra couple hours to finish catching up.

      As for what books are on catch-up, they usually play that close to the vest, likely in part to licensing agreements. But the selected series, when not entirely "random", seem to be associated with the start of a new volume being translated, especially if it has been on hiatus, or to take advantage of a new anime season.

      @private_meta said in Wrong ebook title on Ascendance of a Bookworm: Hannelore's Fifth Year at the Royal Academy:

      The title of the ebook should be
      Ascendance of a Bookworm: Hannelore's Fifth Year at the Royal Academy Volume 1

      but it is

      Ascendance of a Bookworm: Short Story Collection Volume 2

      Yeah, that’s what I’m seeing when I open the download in the iOS Books app on my iPad Pro. The downloaded file has the right name, but Books sees it otherwise.

      Fortunately, I didn’t have any overwrite issues.

      I second that. I would love a RSS feed for published, ready to buy ebooks of series I follow.
      If possible I would also like a feed of all purshasable ebooks.

      Another potential way to fix it would be to make the tag search be exact match instead of substring (when you click on a tag anyway)

      @admin I have not thought about this before... but yeah, I agree, that makes sense. Series is oddly plural sounding in this context. Defective nouns kinda suck sometimes.

      @Elizabeth-Chapman-817w3b1 there are indeed 9 volumes on that page. 3 volumes of Crest of the Stars, and then the numbering resets for 6 volumes of Banner of the Stars.

      Don’t know if this has been reported, but the “keep the screen on while reading” option is not working since the last update. Tried reinstalling the app but the issue persists.
      Using the app on an iPhone 13 mini iOS 18.0.1

      This has been an issue for me as well for a long time but I am on Android (S22 Ultra). Still don't see it on known issues list though so is it just me?
