Catchup Titles Archive (Updated to March 2024)
-
I plan on buying the premium volumes for Dendro so I'll just read those later on instead of rushing it now. And I'm already caught up with the other 3 series. Nothing for me this time around. I was hoping Mixed Bathing would be on catchup instead. Since the next volume is coming out soon I wanted to read at least the first one before buying it. Maybe next month...
-
@terabyte is it? I read half of the last volume and then just took a 1 year break from it. Guess I gotta go finish reading it now.
-
@hyferzftw Yup, the news was posted on Overlap's site on 1st April (I know - the date is funny lol). Volume 6 is coming out on May 25.
-
@terabyte Nice! I also have a month to catch up. almost 2 months actually.
-
Catching up on Too Far Behind Magic since I was too far behind.
Dendrogram and Stratos too I guess. Dunno how many volumes I'm behind with Unwanted Undead (already read 2).
I only have to read Grimgar 13 by the 15th afaik.
-
I'll be giving Infinite Dendrogram a try.
I'm tempted to try IS since I enjoyed season 1 of the anime, but from the per-volume threads in the member forum I know the MC
-
Yay! Infinite Dendrogram was on my list of things I wanted to read. I only joined recently, but the manga chapters that are up now got me interested. From the Too Far Behind manga that's out I don't have any interest in that series, though. If I have time I'll check out Undead Adventurer and maybe Infinite Stratos, but I'll be busy until the last few days of the month with finishing final projects and graduation-related stuff, so I don't know if I'll get around to it.

@yumenokage said in Catch Up Titles (April 2019):
From the Too Far Behind manga that's out I don't have any interest in that series, though.
I will say that the 2nd book gets vastly more interesting, the manga that JNC has put out still only covers the 1st book. I was also pretty lukewarm on the series after reading the first book, but very glad I decided to read the second.
-
@terabyte Time to change the Wikipedia page! :-D
-
I really hope this is foreshadowing a new isekai mahou volume finally.
-
@redmaw Not to burst your bubble, but I don't think anyone has heard anything new :< probably more that it hasn't been on catchup yet.
-
May is here and while it still may be a few days until catchups are updated let's speculate on what they'll be!
Other than Infinite Dendrogram, the series for April Catchup were clustered right next to each other on the acquisition-ordered titles page, so maybe the next 3-4 light novels? So Lazy Dungeon Master, Archdemon's Dilemma, Amagi Brilliant Park, and Kokoro Connect.
For what I'd personally like to see, I have a lot of time now that I've graduated and am waiting for the next phase of things to start, and so I'd probably at least check out anything that's not too ecchi that pops up, but for the things I know I want to check out Archdemon's Dilemma, Seirei Gensouki, and My Next Life as a Villainess are on my list. I'd also been following the physical releases of Grimgar before I'd joined and would like to bridge over at some point, but due to school I have a stack of volumes for that that I've yet to read and would rather see the catchup for that title in a later month.
-
I think (hope) Mixed Bathing in Another Dimension is a likely candidate since volume 6 is finally coming out at the end of this month. Or maybe it will be in June's catchup when V6 parts will start(?) coming out...
-
@terabyte I'd thought that title sounds... suspicious? But I've heard it's actually pretty good and not as ecchi as one might think from the title?
-
@yumenokage No idea myself but I heard the same thing. I'm actually hoping it's on catchup to check it out 😁
-
@terabyte Through 5 volumes, mixed bathing and contact healing magic have been the most blatant ecchi parts. No body has been getting more intimate than washing hair and backs.
Although the hero has had to use healing magic on one character's breasts multiple times.
I had held off buying it because of the title and description, but it's been a good read. Waiting for v6...
-
Ahh, I forgot to also put Faraway Paladin in my list of things I know I want to check out.
License Wishlist: Kino's Journey, Crest/Banner anthology, SukaMoka
Favorite JNC Series: Bookworm, Faraway Paladin, Dendro, Grimgar, Crest/Banner of the Stars, Tearmoon Empire, Skull Dragon's Precious Daughter, Apothecary Diaries, Otome Heroine's Fight -
Despite what the covers and title suggest, it is one of the most wholesome isekai/harem light novels I've read. Yeah there's frequent bath scenes and all the fanservice that comes with that, but it still feels innocent and sweet. He wants to bathe with the girls, yes, but he is upfront about it, explains how his power works, and confirms whether they are okay with bathing together every step of the way. The characters actually communicate with each other, and consent is very important.
-
Yeah, as I said, I've heard good things of it. The only reason I didn't check it out before is because I don't like picking up series that are dropped(?). But volume 6 is finally come out which was the last push I needed to decide to read it.
I'll just have to live with the fact that the author is really slow in publishing new volumes. V5 took 1 year and 3 months and V6 took 1 year and 10 months 😧
-
@yumenokage You definitly should try the Faraway paladin it's one of JNC best series and overall a great LN.
The manga isn't nearly as good tho.
