      @Geezer-Weasalopes said in Roll the Film on January Catchups!:

      My tendency is that if I enjoy the story, I purchase it.

      My rule is if I finish a volume I buy it, even if I wasn't thrilled by it. I figure if I made it that far then I should support JNC licensing it.

      That's easy for me since I have a well-paying job and my hobbies are fairly cheap. It's not something I'd tell anyone they're "supposed to" do.

      If you end up blind-buying later volumes, be prepared for my warning above about how the... pace... slows... down......... in........ later............ volumes. Kind of like how Unwanted Undead Adventurer spent one volume just getting ready to go on a trip.

      @endoftheline That actually was set up, even if only in passing back near the start of the series.

      "You'll need language and crafting skills. I can also throw in some fighting skills for your self-defense. As a tradeoff, you'll have the bare minimum in magical ability, but you won't need it for day-to-day life anyway. What do you think?"
      "Sounds good to me."

      Admittedly, the actual combat skill he ended up with would seem rather disproportionate to its description...

      @Geezer-Weasalopes

      I'm looking forward to Volume 5 of Redefining the Meta at the VRMMO Academy.

      I might re-read the first 4 volumes now that they are on catch-up.

      Hooray for rescues!

      G

      Thank you for the heads up and what you said makes a ton of sense. It's unfortunate because I thought it was a great series. Nice character development compared to most titles out, character grind versus OPed from day one, enough fan service, and a nice balance between comedy and seriousness.

      I hope the creator attempts to make a sequel one day.

      @myskaros was just checking the forums to see what was up. Thanks for the advanced warning even I was blind to it until now 😂

      Hope everyone at the convention has time to enjoy it while they are there and it's not all fun-filled work.

      @xdrfiredogx Haha indeed, it's the perfect descriptor for the likes of Epic Movie or Meet the Spartans.

      To parody isekai you have to be an isekai of course so I can't guarantee it'll be for you. That's the beauty of the catchups of course though. I have several series I'm now purchasing premiums for that I wouldn't even have considered buying if they were from another publisher. I'd say the first 4 or 5 parts of volume 1 would give anyone a pretty clear idea whether it's to their tastes or not.

      @georgemto same for by the grace of god, Seirei Gensouki and the other 2 seasons of bookworm ? The first one being the light novel and the 2nd season being the manga. They usually started right before or right after the new season. So either April or May. I buy them anyways as in my opinion bookworm is easily the best light novel period.

      Sorry for the late reminder, but catchups will be changing on Tuesday, February 1, around 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST / 1900 UTC! One day it'll all be automatic, but until that amazing future arrives, you'll have to continue dealing with manual switchovers that are affected by meetings and vacation and forgetfulness and all that jazz ;o

      I'd been dubious about A Very Fairy Apartment, but a couple of days ago I said to myself, I said, "Hey. It's free just now."

      What a lie that was.
      It's only "free" if you don't go out afterwards and purchase the whole series...

      I think my dubiosity was a result of being a major fan of Rokujouma, and somehow having a block on the idea that there could be other Worthy Works with a bunch of goofballs invading someone's apartment.
      Dunno.
      Whatever my concern had been, it was totally bogus.

      A Very Fairy Apartment is very silly, and very well done.

      The other is Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy which I highly recommend.

      Yesss!! Great portrayal of a paladin. It's one of my favorite books so I was happy to see it mentioned. Faraway Paladin has done a great job so far too (I need to read the LN now)

      Yes, Moon's take on a paladin is more human and more admirable than the stereotypes of the insufferable goody two-shoes and the humorless zealot. Faraway Paladin gets it right (for me) in some of the same ways.

      @elkensteyin

      Not Myskaros however, the general answer would be that J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing acquisitions until they are ready to announce.

      That being said, since you are quoting a comment in relation to the Realist Hero Series, I will mention that J-Novel Club has licensed and is releasing the manga.

      https://j-novel.club/series/how-a-realist-hero-rebuilt-the-kingdom-manga

      Since you mentioned sequel series after that, I assume this is not about Realist Hero, as to my knowledge there is no sequel series.

      Thanks for the reply.

      And that is an Oopsie on my part, as I think I may have quoted the wrong item in the thread. I meant to ask about the manga and sequel regarding The Sorcerer's Receptionist, which was discussed earlier in the thread and the silly me that I am didn't realize that the topic changed.

      Completely understand about formally commenting on future works, however.

      I been waiting for My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World to be on catch-up.

      I've already read them all but am glad it is on catch-up so that others can discover it. Those who enjoy it should consider getting the premium epubs because they feature "Translator's Notes about all the references that Mutsuko makes to classic anime and manga".
