Novel pick-up requests

@Rozmdan Horizon would be cool but the businessman in me would complain because I'd have to price the ebooks higher and it would throw off the whole premium credits thing! Would I make it cost 2 credits? Argh, that complications that would cause in my system hurts my mind.
2-3 times as long basically mean translation costs = 2-3 times as high = need to price ebook to match... Without a giant tome on the shelf wouldn't that cause sales to drop drastically for the ebooks?
Honestly if I were to license Horizon I'd push to split up the volumes into more usual 250-350 pages.

@Sam-Pinansky That's understandable and I do recognize that the series isn't too conducive to the current business model you have set up.
It would probably get really complicated naming the books too since currently the set up for Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere is "Volume 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 3C" in that pattern repeating. If you were to split each book in to say 3 parts, that would be even more complicated.

Two novels turned me into LN addict: Sword Art Online and PuiPui. Please translate PuiPui, it'a a light hearted romcom, one of the early ones that has been dropped...

Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita (Hobby Japan) Please....

Hello, I've recently found out about this service and you can call quite interested.
Because I don't know the current series you are running now yet, I've got a few series in mind I'm interested in for request.
I'd like to see "GATE: Thus the JSDF Fought There!" and "The Irregular at Magic High School" to your catalog.
Even though Yen-Press has TIMHS in their catalog, they only released it physical.
I tried to request a digital version, but they responded that they were not gonna release this series digitally. -
If you can translate Kokoro Connect, that would be awesome! I love the anime, and have always wanted to read source material for it.
-
@Student-no.0 me three! Very interested
-
I've been seeing a lot of suggestions here that I'd definitely get behind! And just to be different, I'll go ahead and mention one that hasn't been said yet: Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja, from GC Novels. It seems like it's a pretty fun series so far, and I'd love to see an official translation for it.
-
hello,
I want to request a Novel that i still love until now. which is Tate No Yuusha (The rising of shield hero) and Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken. These two novel have very interesting story which is not mainstream and their plot and MC is very good which the entire things is not for justice.
Reason i want these series is because both of this Novel only have web novel translation. so i wish to read original LN of this. (Sorry of my bad english)

Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
The first one you mentioned.. I think it is already licensed in the US. One peace books is the publisher I believe. The 2nd one I've never heard of, but it looks to be fair game.
-
I'm really enjoying the anime adaptation of Magical Girl Raising Project so far and so I'd love to see the novels brought over.
-
I am interested in "Mushoku Tensei" (I think its a web Novel turned Light Novel), I haven't read it but heard its good and I would like to contribute to the Author instead of reading it on Baka Tsuki or any other site like that. Also I plan to get a yearly subscription very soon. I forgot also, "She Professed Herself the Pupil of the Wise Man" and "Only Sense Online"
-
I'll bite and put in a request for Hundred; really enjoyed that anime for whatever reason. I'll also be brave and hope for Absolute Duo, Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle, and maybe even Unlimited Fafnir.
-
Didn't Gargantia have a light novel? I loved that little series and definitely want more!
-
I'd really like to see the light novel for Horizon In The Middle Of Nowhere. Was really interested in the anime, but as is pretty common now...the anime ends nowhere near the story's conclusion. Don't you just hate that?
-
I have no title in particular to request, but I would very much like to see a mystery light novel. Any kind of mystery light novel where I am glued to the edge of my seat for the whole book.

It had two - the first was 3 volumes published under Enterbrain's Famitsu Bunko label which was basically a retelling of the events of the anime. The second was a 2 volume series, published by ENTERBRAIN (by this point a part of Kadokawa) which replaced the planned sequel anime.
-
@kuuderes_shadow Thanks for the info! Personally I'd be good for both to be translated but am obviously more interested in the sequel.
-
@kuuderes_shadow Isn't there also a 1 volume prequel light novel that tells the story of him before he came to earth?
