      @GeorgeMTO
      My tendency is that if I enjoy the story, I purchase it.
      Part of that is due to my justifying being involved with fan translations with the argument that it helps prove there's a market... so if any story I'm involved with gets licensed, I buy it.
      I look at JNC as a bridge between fan and pro translations, a blending of both environments.
      You get the regular posting of sections, and the knowledge that at some level the author gets financial return from it.
      I joined JNC initially as a Patreon type of thing, a means of helping make sure the bottom line was met so they'd stay in business; it was a while until I actually started reading the prepub releases, etc.
      Anyway, if I enjoy something on catchup, I treat it as a try and then buy situation.
      If I don't like it, it was a premium I decided I didn't want.
      It's a weird way of looking at things, I suppose.

      There's also that JNC isn't just a firm publishing books to me, it's a place I hang out, and I want it to prosper so I can keep hanging out here.

      So just wanted to say that with the exception of the Morgan Trading Company story, all of the short side stories out so far fit in nicely to the existing novel. They provide a nice supplement for anyone who's been collecting all of this. The trading company story is the only one so far that doesn't slot in nicely, and that's mostly because that particular episode ends with them leaving in the main novel, so unlike all the other stories where there's a clear cut gap in the main story where they slot in, this one tries to slot itself into the end of the chapter.

      The bonus stories from the first two volumes of the manga are my favorites ones out so far, I'm hoping that we'll either get a side story or a main story that goes into more detail about slime Tabuchi's tale since it sounds like it greatly impacted Ryoma.

      Really cool to see some of J-Novel's books involved in that promo. Hope Ollie enjoys it, cause she can bring A LOT of energy if she's having fun.

      @caramelwithoutthesalt Exact opposite feelings than you, but that's why it's good when different stuff gets licensed - something for everyone. :) Frustrating when some announcements seem exact opposite of what you like but there's always a chance next one might be good.
