Catchup Titles Archive (Updated to March 2024)
-
@smashman42 Neechu's ending was anti-climatic, to put it mildly. I'm too busy reading all the new stuff to re-read anything right now, but if I were it would be Mixed Bathing.
-
I got book 1 but merely got the sense of "meh" while reading it, so discontinued from reading it. It wasn't a bad story, but it didn't compel me to read more.
Defo goona look up Mixed bathing this month :)

No spoilers but
In my personal opinion the story doesn't "git gud" till after they get to the dessert, so stick with it till then at least. (Volume 1 stuff)
-
Fully agree on Mixed Bathing being both being really good and suprisingly wholesome. Protag has his weird hangup but he refuses to push anyone past their own willingness to be exposed. To the point where he starts having bathing outfits that are meant to allow the girls to keep themselves covered in the post wash soak appear in his bath.
Plus he wont directly look at any of his female companions when they are in vulnerable situations unless they tell him to. Don't know if I would have had the same willpower at his age. -
I know we are waiting for Vol. 6 of Mixed Bathing to still be released, but are there any ideas to when that will be? I think I read a month or two ago somewhere that there was enough webnovel content out now to release the next volume, though for all I know it was just hearsay.
-
@chris-n there is enough material for a new Volume, however so far there is no official release date, so no idea when V6 will come out.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@rahul-balaggan
alright thanks, was just grasping for straws that maybe some info from the author was dropped that Vol 6 was in the works and would be out in the near future. -
Added September 2018 titles: Infinite Stratos & The Magic in this Other World is Too Far Behind!

The Magic in this Other World is Too Far Behind!
I'm too far behind on this series, so that's good.
Unfortunately, I got a lot to read this and next month (so many number ones expire in October), so I don't know how far I'll get.
-
@terabyte Heads up, the link for Infinite Stratos redirects to Mixed Bathing.
I might check out IS, just to see if it lives up to the infamous reputation it has.
-
@lazyproblems Ops, thanks for the report. Fixed it :)

I think people are a bit too harsh about the MCs denseness, at least early on; totally believable logic for a younger high schooler. He probably needs to get a doctor to clean his ears out though, lol.
I have more of a problem with the fact that not a whole lot happened story wise through 2 volumes, mostly just introducing a ton of characters.
-
@terrence Yeah, book one especially I didn't find him that much worse than most harem-goes-nowhere protags & you could pass it off as a young guy with not much confidence simply not believing all these girls could be into him.
Volume two however had me wanting to beat sense into him pretty quick.

@cosm1cfall Sleep is optional.

I've only watched the Infinite Stratos anime not read the LN, but it was more amusing than annoying there. They had fun trotting out the cliches like "childhood friend" and then piling on even more of them ("other childhood friend"? :) )
Series 2 of the anime went downhill for me, so if it followed the LNs I'd expect to be disappointed later on. But maybe that was the fault of the people adapting it.
-
@harmlessdave I haven't seen the anime so dunno how they line up, volumes vs seasons
-
October titles are finally updated. It says Ao Oni, Yume Nikki, and Unwanted Undead Adventurer!
-
Just a friendly reminder V4 of Unwanted Undead comes out in novemebr so this is the perfect can CEs for members who haven’t read those volumes to catchup before V4 starts next month.
-
So we have 3 titles this month. First post updated.
I'm already caught up with Unwanted Undead, and the other 2 have the horror tag so I'll skip them. Guess I'll just focus on reading Arifureta volumes I bought a while ago, still stuck at the end of volume 1.

Damn, bad month for me too
