      @Terabyte I really like Clockwork Planet, it's fun and absurd in a special way. But yeah, no vol 5 in sight makes it hard to recommend you rush out to read it. It's no spoiler to say that while it doesn't end on a cliffhanger or anything, volume 4 very obviously wasn't intended as a end.

      Most of these I'm already up to speed on or already passed on reading so don't think I'll be joining in this month.

        @Terabyte Yeah, Clockwork Planet definitely has the unfinished feel all over it. And I'm thinking at least two more volumes are needed. (If you do read it, you'll see why.) I'm not very hopeful.

          @Paul-Nebeling Reading various comments about Clockwork, it has a double-whammy of health problems (creator and author).

            @SomeOldGuy I've heard the same, which is another reason why I'm not holding out much hope for it to get finished.

              Updated the first post with September catchups: 5 series this time around (1 complete, 2 caught up to JP, 2 ongoing).

              Nothing for me to check out this time either: I dropped Isekai Rebuilding Project after volume 1 and I've got other series higher on my read list other than Daimaou. I do want to read Daimaou, but from what I've heard it seems it turns quite bad as the story goes on (kinda like Infinite Stratos I guess). So yeah, I'll probably get to it at some point, but surely not now.

                I might read Isekai Rebuilding Project. Oh, Daimaou is in here? I need to finish that at some point.

                Amagi I'm just going to buy all of them someday.

                I made it through a grand total of 6 parts of catchup last month (gonna have to buy Holy Knight's Dark Road). >_>

                  Yes, also like Infinite Stratos the Daimaou anime was decent so I was curious about the LN but these are apparently two of the rare cases where the anime adaptation fixes the LN flaws and makes things better.

                  I'm already reading I Refuse to be Your Enemy and enjoying it. It's a less farcical version of Bakarina. So nothing new for me either.

                    Updated the first post with October catchups: 6 LNs and 1 Manga this time around (1 complete LN, 1 LN caught up to JP, 4 ongoing LNs, 1 ongoing manga).

                    First time ever a manga is on catchup.

                      Grace of the Gods, Marielle Clarac for me.

                      I'll probably leave reading the final volume and rereading previous parts of Paladin for later.

                        @Terabyte I think it's safe to assume that Paladin is finished. If the series were super popular I think the author could unexpectedly put out a new volume, but this long in between volumes on a medium seller says to me that it's unfortunately over.

                          @the-green-death I think I read somewhere the author has writer block or something? Or was it another LN? Not sure.

                            @Terabyte I’ve heard here over the years that it was writers block. Too bad, but what we got was great and didn’t end on a cliffhanger or anything, so maybe a short great run is the best.

                                In for Discommunication and Tearmoon.

                                Mixed Bathing I gotta read the newest. Dunno if I want to catch up with Baker or no.

                                  @Terabyte the "Previous entries are inside the spolier below" is inside the spoiler, so you can't see the instructions to open the spoiler without opening the spoiler. ;)

                                    @pcj Fixed. When I made the topic initially there was a forum bug where it would show inside the spoiler when I put it outside (while putting it inside did the reverse). Looks like they updated the forum at some point and it included a fix for it.

                                      I'll give Combat Baker another chance. I drifted away after volume 1, but that was decent enough.

                                      White Cat is worth reading if you haven't tried it before.

                                        @HarmlessDave I’m really liking white cat revenge. Is it just 3 and done? can’t seem to find any info on it, I hope not 🤞

                                          @Lovebsg The editor for White Cat has fallen ill, so we have put the next volume on hold for the time being.

                                          Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                                            Hang on... We have manga catch-ups now too? I'm excited! And it's one that I've been very curious about anyways, so that's cool.

                                            @myskaros That royally sucks... hope they get well soon!
