Chivalry of a Failed Knight

@onyx-archer I’m about to go rewatch it my 3rd time.

100 upvotes! Woohoo!
-
That's great, i'm still hoping for it to be picked !
-
I enjoyed the anime for this series so it's be nice to see what content in the novels was missing and how the series progresses from where the anime ends.
-
@timmaaah I thought I would be the only one to overreact this much. Guess I'm not alone in this world anymore
-
@jcoth You and me both! The licenses all of the “big” companies have announced recently have been very disappointing (to me anyway). I keep hoping that Rakudai/Chivalry will get picked. I don’t have enough to fund it all myself, but if JNC did some sort of “Kickstarter” to help get Rakudai started I’d contribute all I could, lol. I know that aspect would never happen, but maybe one day one of the companies like JNC, 7 S, or YP, or someone will license it in English for us.
-
@drone205 Still no license though...
-
Personally I believe that we're being made to face the same trial as Ikki prior to the start of the story. Eventually Kurono will take over the light novel industry and give us a real chance.
-
Just recently watched the anime... While I didn’t love it, I definitely want to read more. Now the big question is just why his hasn’t been licensed yet.
-
This is definitely one of my favourite light novel series, though it has been extremely hard to source. I am aware that there was a fan translation, but that appears to have stalled just after volume 8.

@ironman628 We can only hope. I really like the underdog and the beauty story.
-
@jcoth yea, I keep seeing new announcements being made by the other LN publishers, not just JNC, so hopefully one of them will license this series as it seems to have at least somewhat of a desire from LN fans. So until then hopefully everyone continues to recommend/suggest it whenever possible.
-
JNC actually announced a lot of licenses during Sakuracon so its not like they've been short on announcements.

So, we didn’t get a license announcement for this series at AX. But it seems that some of the license announcements were from series I’m not familiar with, so do you think that with many/most of the very popular series getting licensed and relationships with Japanese licensors improving that there’s a better chance Chivalry of a Failed Knight will get licensed eventually?

I'd say the really high-profile series like this, Date-A-Live, Highschool DxD, etc., are in the territory of "everyone and their mothers know that 'les fans' want it, so there are probably reasons it hasn't still gotten licensed despite that." Until we know what those reasons are, it'll be very hard to guess whether chances have gone up or down.

I think I remember something about the Japanese licensor didn’t want to do an ebook only release; however, now that JNC and everyone else is doing print runs hopefully that is no longer an issue. As for any other issues, I have no idea however out of all the novels I’m familiar with this is the one that I hope gets licensed the most.

I hope it isn’t a case where JNC or others don’t want to license a series where there is a perceived disadvantage in the marketability because of extensive fan translation being available. Unfortunately there’s only so many translator (and editor) man/hours available and JNC has to allocate them to titles that they perceive will get the most return on the investment of licensing fees. If fans have already read and are satisfied with the fan translations this would lead JNC to steer the resources elsewhereI read banned books
