One day it shall be...but not today.

Okay, can you guys post updates about the progress with licensing stuff? Like, if you tried and failed to get it licensed, please make it easy to see, or add that info to their respective pages. Or create one more pinned forum post with this information to keep it all in one place.
-
@eminent That probably divulges too much of the corporate process and wouldn't probably never be officially mentioned. The best you could probably get is very vague answers in the Discord if anything
-
@ellyonia I suppose so. Other publishers might go after the stuff they're trying to license if they know what it is. So I guess they only ever reveal that info if they successfully license something.
-
Modified from the pro forma CIA response to requests for information:
JNC can neither confirm nor deny the existence of license negotiations in progress but, hypothetically, if such negotiations were in process, the negotiations would be confidential, and could not be disclosed.

Request for English translation for Violet Evergarden (anime had 1 season and 2 movies both Japanese and English dub) I've checked the Wikipedia and there's no English publisher yet.

Good so far.
Now you need to check the list in this topic to see if there is a request already here at JNC, and if there isn't then start a new request topic.
This topic is a cumulative listing of those requests already made, it's not the topic for initiating such requests.

Violet
i've check and there is no "Violet Evergarden" on the above list! How to do that?
-
@jettelosa257 I'm really surprised it's not already, given how popular I perceived it to be.
Anyways, just go here:
https://forums.j-novel.club/category/13/licensing-suggestions
and open a "New Topic" with your suggestion. You can look at other suggestions to get some examples for formatting, but there's no set in stone way to do it, just do what you feel is right.

@myskaros please add this under "Light Novels with no official English Versions"

Anyone know if this is going be pickup? I heard it is getting an Anime. The Manga has not lost it's detailed pages. I have seen someone translated pages up to chapter 225. I would really like to see/have translated book from this light novel. I wanted to follow the rules so I am post here about it. Not sure what else I can do to get more...
-
@slanterq the suggestions forum is just for that: suggestions. JNC never talks about licensing procedures or attempts, only when a title is officially announced do we get to know, and JNC only announces when work has already started, as they post the first 2 parts of a volume along with the announcement.
Making a suggestion post only serves to call some attention to a title and show if there's interest in it from the users. They've admitted that they do take it in consideration but it's not a main factor into what series they pursue.

I've always wanted to give the light novel series 'Alderamin on the Sky' a try. I, at least, wanted to suggest that it could be licensed by J-Novel Club, but I don't know how.
-
Probably not the right place to ask but....what becomes of the novel counterpart for manga that get licensed?
Is it safe to treat their appearance as premonitions -oracles- to eventual LN licenses, or impression the pre-existing formula suggesting that manga to LN pipelines are pipelines and little besides.I'm curious cause as far as Seven Seas is concerned, they tend to follow the latter, never unsheathing the novel from its manga scabbard, which is honestly sad.
Outlaw star, anti-magic academy, summoned to another world but it's at peace, just to name a few, might never see an official LN release, ever. Perhaps the same can be said with one peace books and 'The New Gate' so then comes my question.
That, and because, https://files.catbox.moe/7vi5fv.png, have my personal wishes...most of which have good manga. -
It really depends on a bunch of factors. The manga version of Sweet Reincarnation was apparently licensed first to judge if there's enough demand for the LN to be licensed. The manga version of Frontier Lord Dias was licensed first... with the LN coming in the next announcement block.
So I'd say if you really want to suggest it, and it doesn't look like anyone's biting... throw it in the forum anyway.

@Torka
Thanks for the response. The whole testing the waters with a manga should've been obvious in retrospect. Not sure why it didn't occur to me kek.Now, as far as suggestions go, it seems like everything I'd possibly want, barring a few, have already been placed in that as yet to be tended queue, with everything otherwise probably likely to come sometime soon. For example, I'm sure Salad Bowl will get picked up and similarly sure of Zero Power [ which is Zero believer authors 2nd project ] being picked up by JNC somewhere down the line. Surprisingly, the latter doesn't have a page up.
That said, I can only wish the same assured sentiment could go for older series. The things in that catbox link, with https://files.catbox.moe/ah0436.png being the updated one, are like 90% 'never evers' lol but hey, who knows. Maybe one day I'll be lying my head on the fully translated Horizon verse or read the alleged 'legendary' Alderamin volume 7 filter.
On another note, the user base here is well informed on honest to God awesome LNs. Didn't think you were the one responsible for suggesting Zilbagias's novel, and quite a while back at that. Its v1 is probably the best v1s I think I've ever read, out of hundreds of hundreds of LNs, and it'll probably buildup to one of the single best LNs. That, and Finding Avalon. Damn good stuff. VRMMOs keep on giving.
-
That's a big list. But yeah, if there's any series you like that aren't in the suggestions forum already, just add them in. And if some already have posts, you can post in them to just say you like the concept.
As for Zilbagias... I'll be completely honest, I didn't know anything about the series when I recommended it. I just saw its cover in the JNC discord and thought "it's the Kumo Desu Ga artist, so I might as well try it out." And what did you know, it worked.
