@lazyproblems Ops, thanks for the report. Fixed it :)

@lazyproblems said in Catch Up Titles (September 2018):
@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.
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
-
@terabyte I wouldn't call Yume Nikki horror, it's more a surreal psychological Mystery (in case that affects your decision.
You can't spell Keikaku without Kei – Vote for Sagrada Reset!
-
@jaquobus Yeah, I'll skip it regardless. Psychological is another thing that I usually avoid, too 😋
-
Two months in a row that I'm uninterested in the catch up titles. Good thing the new titles have been pretty damn good.
-
Just thank you very much, and now I have some catching up to do. Looking forward especially to Ao Oni and Yume niki, since already read unwanted undead

Maybe I'll see if the guys want to read any of these for the podcast. It sounded like we were looking at some other horror / mystery titles though (no spoilers, but some pretty recent and some not so recent).
I'll probably read Ao Oni 2 this month. I own Yume Nikki already.
-
I was expecting Ao Oni, but not Unwanted Undead. Looks like a busy month for me, as I definitely want to catch up on both of those.
-
Unwanted Undead Adventurer is a nice one for me.
From the reviews at Amazon it's one that I probably wouldn't buy even if the volume 1 part 1 here seemed OK, but now I can read as much as I want to before deciding if I like it enough to keep reading.
If that's the case I'll buy it to support the writer and JNC.
-
Here's a suggestion for a catch up that I don't think has ever been done: Brave Chronicle It's only one volume, so...

Read them, liked Undead Adventurer despite the author's bad habit of explaining things 2-3 times, bought volume 3 to support the authors and JNC.
I recommend giving it a try while it's fully available this month. You too might decide it's worth reading despite its flaws.

Any word on November's catch-up titles? Or is there a usual day in the month that the catch-up titles get switched?
