How a realist hero rebuilt the kingdom .

Aruseus493

It's cause the release schedule isn't very user-friendly and Sam doesn't typically list stuff very far into the future.

Rahul Balaggan

@aruseus493 Well with Realist 7 specifically it can't be helped as you know.

Otherwise I like the 1 e-book at a time release schedule, that avoids trouble like the YP delays...

Aruseus493

I think release dates could be released at least a little bit earlier. For example, the monthly Rokujouma volumes typically do get a set release date until a couple weeks after the latest volume is out. Rokujouma is probably the series I have trouble remembering to update on the /r/LN release wiki the most since there's a weird gap where there's no announced release date for the next month until a few weeks before.

Otherwise, the Releases page doesn't seem very clear and relies a lot on you manually checking everything. Would be helpful if ebook publishing was more distinguished from normal part releases. Perhaps the page could be formatted more like a calendar too? Would also be helpful if each volume page for a series came with the release date at least prior to adding the amazon pages and such. The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar Volume 3 has yet to have a page created for it from what I can see.

It would also be nice to get those old monthly newsletters which would perhaps go into more details on what's coming out, when you can at least expect the next volume to start translation, and the premium bonuses.

Overall, I just feel like there are a variety of factors which tend to lead to people having misunderstandings on the status of certain series when something is caught up.

Regarding YP Delays, as long as you aren't listing out 3 volumes in advance, it's typically fine. Their issue comes from the fact that pretty much every series is delayed at least 2 weeks from their announced release date which pushes stuff further and further.

@rahul-balaggan Realist Hero isn't that bad when it comes to time between volumes. At least we have a release date for Realist Hero 7. I can think of a few titles that don't have dates yet.

Rahul Balaggan

@paul-nebeling yes that is true, however i was referring to the JNC editions not the original Japanese ones.

rerdey

@rahul-balaggan Would that be for the English version, which is what I am interested in? :-)

LegitPancake

@rerdey The first part will probably come to J-Novel 2 or so weeks after it releases in Japan. The whole book will most likely be released in September.

Rahul Balaggan

@rerdey you beg your sweet bippy it is. Here is the cover:

LegitPancake

@rahul-balaggan Aww, they’re still using that janky English title? :(

Also...please don’t add another wife for Souma.

SoullessMinion

@legitpancake the janky english title remains probably cause otherwise they'd need to re-print the previous volumes from before JNC got the title, which might just not look too good for the series if it needed to be "renamed".

as for a new wife

spoiler

plus the girl on the cover is Tomoe, thou she does seem "older" on the cover but that might just be due to perspective.

Paul Nebeling

@rahul-balaggan Could that be Tomoe? (Edit: Yeah, it is.

@Motionless47 He would be following Excel's advice to not take any wives for political reasons. He skirted that line with Naden, but since has operating in a similar manner to Touya in Smartphone (Getting permission from the other wives.) I think the probability of that happening is low.

Thomask

@rahul-balaggan

So we get to look forward to English translations weekly by mid July. Woot woot.

rerdey

@legitpancake I think Juno should be added as wife.... Hey, I think he is allowed 8 in total.... ?-)

catstorm

@rerdey It would be strange if she wasn't with all the hints and build up for her, it would kind of make her character arc a little pointless.

DTTA

Yup. I think Juno needs to join Juna as a Secondary Wife. They can be the J brigade. He can marry a Juni and a Junu too. :)

Voidwalker72

I can't help but think that Tomoe is going to be added to his harem based on the covers so far as everyone who has appeared on the cover together have gotten engaged.

rerdey

@voidwalker72 I think they are acting too much as brother and sister to think about that right now... I do have hopes that one day he can marry Empress Maria of the Gran Chaos Empire, but that would have to be way down the line, most likely after he solves the issue with the demon realm.
Will he eventually form a united nations type government, much like what appears to happening in the "In Another World With My Smartphone (Isekai wa smartphone to tomo ni)" series? So far we have the Star Dragons (at least I think so) and the Empire (in secret)... Is the next country going to be the Republic of Turgis?

DTTA

Yahhh, I don't think Tomoe will become Souma's wife.

I do think it'd be cute and hilarious (IF it didn't go anywhere) if she started crushing on Inugami as a first crush. :)

SomeOldGuy

@voidwalker72 It's already been suggested that Hakuya "wait until she's old enough", when Souma noticed how Tomoe is being trained in managing state affairs.

But, then again, the heaviest hints on Hakuya are to bridge the gap with the Empire with Jeanne, more so than Maria+Souma.

Thomask

I got this feeling, his “travels” even though it’s intended to avoid marriage meetings, will result in him having a “United Nations of queens” at his side. Primary and secondary.

Then again, he’s only limited to 8 as per Liscia, so he has to take some care in that... otherwise the Queens will need to approve...

Maybe secondary queens will only get one ever other, or every third week...

Or .. like slave harem, 2 or 3 secondary queens on the same night. And Juna is the top who gets her own night. Lol
