The New Gate
-
Read it to volume 7 then kinda just forgot about it. Hopefully it gets licensed by any translation company tbh,
-
I would also gladly read an official release of that novel. I think it deserves it.
-
I'd love to see an official release of either the novel or the manga (as I scanlate the latter) but Alphapolis seem reluctant to license anything oversees. As far as I know, the only official localisation from them is Gate:JSDF which is the most anti-Western in content of anything they publish. Purely a coincidence, I'm sure.
-
Love this series would greatly enjoy a translation for this.
-
@bravedude8 They seem okay licensing manga, it's their Light Novels which no publisher has managed to reach yet. Seven Seas publishes the Re:Monster manga in English after all.
-
I really liked the fan translation, so I would love to see an official release of this too!
But I’m not sure, if J-Novel Club will be able to license novels by this publisher... It would be really nice, if they could after all, since there are some novels I totally would like to see getting licensed. -
@clarabelle no access, Alphapolis is notorious for not giving any LN licenses out to any publisher (at least as far as US publishers go, not sure about Korea, or France, etc.)
-
I doupt we will ever get that serie, even if the publisher become more open to business with foreign market.
May be if the serie were to get an anime and SAO level of popularity, but otherwise the Fantrad is just too good and too completed.
A legit version wouldn't add much and since it's a 10+ serie it would likely be too much of a risk.
Plus the group is making money out of it so it can't be licence like Rokujuma. -
The fan TL does the job just fine, and quite honestly this is about as generic as it gets.
-
I would love to see this one getting officially translated, it‘s the best gaming novel ever next to A Wild Last Boss Appeared!!! Well, if J-Novel Club ever gets in a relationship with AlphaPolis, this novel absolutely must getting licensed!

-
Interesting. Still, it's gonna be a long 8 months wait.
-
Wow, an Alphapolis title. Don't see many of those get licensed. I'm not usually one to get a manga adaptation but I'll probably support this one since I enjoyed what I read of the novel and maybe it'll encourage them to get it too.
-
Alphapolis made The New Gate into a MOBILE GAME?!
-
Happy that it is getting a translation, a little sad that it s One Peace Books who acquired the license. My rating of them has decreased following the shambles of Tate Yuusha aka Shield Hero, mainly because there is no consistency with the translation or apparent proof-reading....never mind the 9 month delay.....
But, the novel at least has charm, so happy for the release.

One Peace Books got the Manga, the LN remains unobtainable at the moment
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@rahul-balaggan Why do you call it unobtainable?
-
@zing Alphapolis seemingly has no interest in licensing their LN series.
I believe Sam had tried in the past but didn't get a response.
-
@village-idiot Well, pretty much most of the new gate is fan translated anyway.
-
@zing I'm more interested in a possible license of isekai Tensei Soudouki. The New Gate has great characters and world building, but there's no tension due to Deus Ex Machina MC being OP AF and just happens to have the exact skill(s) needed in any situation.
