Since JNC was more willing to license ecchi in the last year or so, here's hoping something short like this could get licensed even if it's a romcom.

@dehildum Series over. It's completed at 12 volumes like we speculated it was when v12 came out.

I have to agree, the cover art is wondrous.
If the story is of similar quality I'd be interested, yes.

@Aruseus493 said in Hajimari no Mahoutsukai (Primitive Wizard):

Series got cancelled after volume 5 according to the author. https://kakuyomu.jp/users/l_kettle/news/1177354054889529630

Just to note, that post is from more than a year ago, though it's true it got cancelled. The author said in that post he might try to continue the webnovel but slower, but didn't make any promises. Only 3 chapters of volume 6 are out(albeit the last one is from a month ago so there might still be some hope...).

Kinda feel bad this post (and most recent comment) was so long ago.
But upvote from me as well.

I really do still want to wait for this series to get licensed in English, but I really feel like it's going to be easier to just improve my german or read a fan translation :(

Volume 15 was released on August 20, 2026

Volume 15 Cover

I really hope this one gets licensed! I love OSO so much, it’s been my favourite reread series fore nearly a decade (mind I’ve only been able to read up to vol 15 fan translations)
It’s world building (game system) is my favourite of any vrmmo novels, the story is fun and cozy but still having exciting moments, and the mc doesn’t become some overpowered godlike monster that’s a top ranking player in like 5 volumes side eyes FLFO (mind I still like flfo but Yun is much more fun to read about then Anastasia)
I would very much buy all the volumes in English if they were available.
