@paul-nebeling which series are they?
-
@xftg123 I would guess SAO and Mahouka?
-
@aruseus493 makes sense. Also, definitely can't wait for the SOL Press licenses to come out :-).
-
@aruseus493 @Xftg123 SAO and The Devil is a Part-Timer
-
@paul-nebeling I knew it was SAO, but I never expected "Devil Is A Part Timer". Eh, YP's only 8 volumes behind by "Part Timer". But hey, you do you.

It's surprising there are a lot of these "Obese character tries to become thin Isekai" stories lately. Here's another one, female focused.

https://t.co/CKdgXaVfva?amp=1It's about a girl that is summoned into the world of a manga / anime as one of the cruel, mean countess' in a prince Charming story. Unfortunately, this character meets her demise early in the story. To try and counteract her demise, she is going to... Lose weight so she blends in with the other nice characters in the story? I don't really see how that is going to help her, but that's the gist I get.
I unfortunately don't have a good sense of what the name of this is.

Japan is obsessed with it, from what I've heard from one or two folks who live there.
I mean, being fat isn't healthy (said as he is fat) but there are some INSANE things over there, and there is a really larg amount of actual hate for those who are overweight there.
Friend of mine had a tooth ache, went to a doctor. Doctor told him that going on a diet would help his tooth.
It's why I like the guy in Me, a Genius? At least he's portrayed as fairly smart and stable, even if he acts weird sometimes.

If I noticed I was a treasure-box type monster - mimic.
Moreover, the surroundings are dungeons full of monsters, and adventurers will come when suddenly placed on the first floor of the basement!
What is already somehow, if I tried desperately to run away, my arms and legs grew something!
...... No, what am I supposed to do?This one is on Syosetu.

@aruseus493 Looks like "Earth Star Novel", they've got Make my abilities average and WataFuta among some other titles I recognize. (Like Sono Mono. Nochi ni...!)

Time to get on it @Sam-Pinansky.

Volume 1 isn't even out in Japan yet. So yes, you can be ahead of the curve on Treasure Chest reincarnation if you strike now. =P
-
@terrence it sometimes makes me wonder how many wild ideas they have for isekai series they plan to publish? Still, this series would been surreal to me if there wasn’t a vending machine reincarnation series.
-
@terrence Ooh this reminds me of the story I've read at RoyalRoad "Everyone loves Large chests". They have even released a couple of books of it on Amazon. Thats about an actual Minmic monster rather than being reborn as one but I wonder if it'll follow similar beats throughout?

I'll be checking it out on Syosetu (machine translation can be rough though). I know there's a spider lady in it, and that these characters are monster spawns that appear from black hole type points in dungeons.
Edit: So, the hero is fairly logical. He deduces that when a party of adventurers sees a chest, they will immediately try to open it. His only mean of attack, a single bite on one Adventurer, leaves him open to attack by the Adventurers' party. The main character is a girl with long legs, and she acquires high heels as a reward item from a comrade early on. xD

I would like if they picked up. Ascendance of a Bookworm - I'll Become a Librarian At Any Cost!
Its realy good -
@jhonk7 I'll just say: Don't get your hopes up for that one.
-
@sam-pinansky Damn, finally show up to the request forum, and have to deliver bad news. I guess this means TO Books is out of the picture or something of which publishers you license from?
-
So, besides publishing companies, licenses, permissions and any stuff involving business like that, are there any other things we need to be aware before a series could be picked up? Like standards, requirements, restrictions; stuff needed for/from a series before/after it is translated?
