@rahul-balaggan said in Smartphone Vol. 19? are we not getting it: @garyauger1981 Hello! Short answer is V19 came out very recently in Japan so they have to license the volume before they can start translating it, also I will just quote myself from another topic: @rahul-balaggan said in Smartphone Vol. 18: @novelreadingmachine not at this time, it is still TBD. Edit: just wanna point out that V19 came out during 2019 year end, as such there was no way for J-Novel Club to go about licensing it for release, as all the offices are closed. The new year just started so working out contracts to be signed will take time, working out materials to be sent to J-Novel Club will take time, having Part 1 translated and then edited for release will take time. Would be great if it starts this month but it would be more likely for it to start next month at the earliest.

I guess i'll have to re-read vol 8 of isekai mahou. Still volume 9 will start at the end of the month thats good to hear

Hi folks, just a forewarning that the premium EPUB for Smartphone currently does not have any bonuses. We will be checking for short stories, but due to staggered holiday schedules both at JNC and in Japan, it may be some time before we get them. I will update this topic as soon as there are updates to the EPUB. Sorry for the inconvenience!

@robert-rodriguez The translator/editor usually check the prepubs topic only while the volume is still being published weekly. For errors in the published epub you should email directly support ;)

Volume 16 (Premium Edition): A Mini story originally produced for in store exclusive, A Column by the Author Friends And More Friends Author's Column: Mysteries of Old

It depends on what way the author goes with Touya. It's possible that he'll never go past demigod and will just live a normal lifespan, die, and that's the end of it. It's possible that the same happens, but he becomes a god upon his semi-mortal body dying. It's possible either of those are the case, but that his lifespan, while not unlimited, is extended. Or it's possible that they have him evolve from demigod to god directly without needing another reincarnation, giving him an unlimited lifespan.

@Guspaz LOL Not according to Dr. Babylon...

Nvm, I see the release was moved to Saturday. Thanks anyway!

@legitpancake I'll have to check that out when I get home from work. That price would be too good to pass up. Follow up: Yup. Got the discount. Happy face.

@someoldguy Kewl thanks! That's what I needed to know. I didn't want to "commit" to the series if the errors I was finding in in the "catch up" parts still existed. Actually, I saw somewhere that the prepubs were not necessarily corrected as the parts were released. I just did not know what happened after publication and, specifically, if the book was brought back volumes later for this opportunity to catch up. It seemed plausible that they could break the existing epub into parts. I imagine keeping all the prepub parts around could take up a lot of storage. D
