Novel pick-up requests
-
Requesting Gamers! Just finished the one currently fan-translated translated volume and I'd love it if this series got licensed. I couldn't help binge reading it throughout the night with how hilarious it is and how kind the God of Romcom is. Checking, my god of Romcoms is Aoi, Sekina. The glorious author behind the harem series which made me who I am today. (Honestly didn't even realize until after I checked.) So yea, license Seitokai no Ichizon while you're at it please.

Did anyone ask for Akashic Records of the Bastard Magical Instructor yet?

@Rahul-Balaggan Not just me asked a couple of times :D Seven Seas licensed manga, no idea about LN rights.
-
@Aruseus493 is "Gamers!" worth the read? I thought it was just a LN full of clichés. I think I read the first pages of the manga, it turned me off
"I drowned a fish, killed a dead tree and made medicine sick"
-
@Rahul-Balaggan Now that I've seen the beginning of the anime, this is an LN I definitely want to check out.
I'm an INTJ so I'm always the bad guy.
-
@gocav Sadly the anime is pretty rushed
-
@gocav Hell yeah, the anime really got me hooked right after episode 1, although for the most part I just kept thinking why none of the girls are questioning why they have to have their midriffs showing...not that I am complaining.
@sparhawk6 I wish Seven Seas had released at least 1 volume before the anime aired...
And I felt like the anime was being rushed but that happens so much these days I have gotten used to it.
I still hate how much they cut out of the Danmachi Side Story Sword Oratoria they left out over 25% of the book in episode 1 alone.

@Rahul-Balaggan
Sword Oratoria is a really big fail, I was watching like WTF? They cut so much lol.
First volume of Akashic will be out 22. August I think.
Btw Sam! Give us at least 2 new titles please! The bait is there too long ! :D -
Just a thought. You have licenced two of the three most rated "Overlap" novels on Novelupdates. WHY NOT LICENCE the third one as well, which is the highest rated of all three.
I really hope Long Title clue is for "I Got Reincarnated And Mistaken As A Genius?". The WN translations are pretty much dead but I want to read more :(

@ImIlyaz Honestly, if you take the manga's first chapter at face value, it's super misleading. I'd definitely recommend reading at least the first volume.

That's not it, but I hadn't really taken a good look at that one. Looks funny!
I think I might not like it though since I actually AM a genius and stories like this tend to piss me off for personal reasons.

I swear the guy is an actual genius too (He is no one compared to you, though). He just thinks he is not. It is one of the funniest slice of life comedies out there. It is also quite popular in Novelupdates and has a good rating. I think, it can be quite successful if picked up. And the WN translations are pretty much dead so most people would become a JNC member in order to read it.
I think, you should consider licensing it. Just think about it
-
@Hakomari That sounds like one I might enjoy, I agree - license it!!
-
My wish list... I've been reading elsewhere (unlicensed), is the following.
Legendary moonlight Sculptor
Gunota - gun otaku in another world
Good taste for a dukes daughter
Shield hero
Kenja no Magi
The new gate?I'm sure I'm missing a few... so I'll post as I add to my read list... lol
-
@Thomask Shield Hero is licensed by One Peace Books. Currently avilable Physically and Digitally.

Damn, I thought that was only manga.
I wonder if it's a better, easier read than the unlicensed version...
Thanks, I'll add that to my list.

@Thomask for what it's worth the translation has left some things to be desired.
In fact I am reading through the novel and the Manga they work well together filling gaps making sure everything gets across.
All in all I still like One Peace Books as a publisher.
-
@Thomask The translation is good but it needs a better editor. Also you have read the fan translations of the WN version and the LN story differs a lot from the WN from what I know. There are new characters and events in the LN.
BTW, "Legendary moonlight Sculptor" is a Korean light novel so I don't think it will ever be licensed. I don't think there are any Korean light novel licensing companies.
-
As a reminder, if Lost Universe is possible, I'd love to read it.
I do have all of the books, but I don't know enough Kanji or understand verbs well enough to properly know the novel-only story.
Much appreciated. I know it was from back in the 90's, but still special to me.
