        The website that is hosting English translation of the web novel got a face lift and now we have a monthly view counter for death mage that sits at nearly 4 million views. That is four million views per month... What else do you need to know? Go and try licensing it!

          @zing You mean Syosetu? Japanese popularity doesn't always equal English popularity. It is the third most popular series on NovelUpdates of all time, however, which is significant, though I'm not sure how you'd be able to convince even a small percentage of those web novel readers to support the official light novel. Yen Press seems to be pretty successful with Death March, though, and that web novel is NU's number 2 series of all time.

            @legitpancake Fixed my post, sorry for initial confusion. I was talking about website hosting English translation of the web novel.

            Death March is second, Death Mage is third, funny how death seems to be popular.

                  Does the mc ever get his revenge on the 100 heroes or the God of reincarnation ever in the whole story?

                        Read the fan translation of the web novel and I totally like it. It also seems to be really popular, so go and license it!

                            I'm holding off on reading any further for now until this gets an official translation. Really hope it gets picked up, preferably by JNC. If it hasn't been picked up after a few years I'll probably looking into buying the Japanese and then either reading that directly (if my Japanese has improved enough by then) or reading the fan translation.

                            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

                                Web novel seems to be entering the final arc.
                                We need this, I need this!

                                One thing that I truly enjoy about death mage is authors ability to constantly keep the story fresh and engaging. The conflict leading to a fight is build up properly, when the resolution to the conflict finally arrive, it always feels satisfying. Not to mention the world build is truly well done.

                                Of all isekai novels I read so far, this is by far the one that engages me the most, even on my third reread.

                                  A scanlation of the manga is available. The artwork is very well done as is the translation. Just a thought.

                                    @lighthawk96 yeah I know. The manga is not bad, I am looking forward to noble orc ark.

                                      +1 This should've been picked up a long time ago. It has the highest rating in NU with most votes together with almost 25k readers.

                                        @ramrams Well no English publisher has ever gotten a title from this JP label, and only Seven Seas has ever licensed from the parent company Hifumi Shobo (SCP Foundation). Maybe no one has made contact with the publisher or the JP publisher is asking for too much? There are many explanations.

                                          main reason I would assume no one has picked it up yet is the author has been very slow at releasing new volumes of the actual LN. Its only on volume 5? Author's main focus seems to be the web novel currently. He seems to release 1 volume of the LN a year. Exception being 2018.
