    I just finished volume 1 of The Great Cleric and was pleasantly surprised. The anime almost lead me astray with its portrayal but the story is more palatable as a novel than as an anime to me. So I will continue reading the books (and hopefully finish before month's end) and stop watching the anime.

    That happens way too often. Off the top of my head:

    Abilities Average - dropped the best part of the humor, of Mile believing she's cleverly convinced everyone that's she's perfectly normal, replaced it with stupid gags of her flying into a rage. Also skipped one of the best early arcs, the hunter school Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear (both seasons) - speedruns the content, skipping a lot of the humor, depth, and the quieter bits with Yuna and the kids. They even messed with the picture books. Smartphone - skipped a lot of the content where Touya was training, learning, and building things ahead of time to somewhat earn his OPness Death March - did a poor job of conveying that Satou's main goal was to have fun as a tourist and take care of his wards, not be a hero or solve the world's problems Master of Ragnarok - made it seem like the MC's only skill is looking up things on Google

    I've reached the point where I hesitate to watch the anime for a LN I enjoy since I expect to be annoyed by the changes and cut content.

    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.
