Novel pick-up requests
-
@DasLeswile I am a string theorist actually.
You can find some of my research papers on the arxiv if you're curious. My main research was into quiver gauge theories and their relationships to algebraic geometry however.As for Honzuki... Yes there is an LN, it's extremely popular in Japan and it's definitely on my radar. I'm holding off on it for now.
-
@Sam-Pinansky Wait. Is it possible that your research has some clue regarding the "Fractal?" title pickup?
-
@Hakomari No I didn't do research into eternal inflation myself.
-
@Sam-Pinansky Lol I'd imagine some people actually agreeing with you licensing their LNs because of all that physicist degree stuff you just mentioned.
-
@Sam-Pinansky said in Novel pick-up requests:
I'm a phd'd theoretical physicist with a triple degree from Carnegie Mellon and perfect SAT scores and I decided to become an anime translator.
By sheer coincidence, this also just happens to be the light novel title I was going to request...
-
@Liz My autobiography is not for sale. Wait... does that mean my harem is my group of translators?
Now things just got awkward.
-
@Sam-Pinansky That sounds really weird :D
-
@Sam-Pinansky I always KNEW I was the idiot friend in someone else's harem anime... :p
-
@Liz Please! Translate that one! Thats a must read.
-
@Cole-Seeley I wrote up a brief piece recasting Sam as Ichiro from VRMMO, but... it's the middle of the night over in Japan, I don't want to make him mad right before bed ;)
-
@Liz "Nonsense". Out with it.
=P
-
@Terrence If I feel like it. :smirk:
-
@Liz /coughs
-
@Liz Now I know I can be insensitive when it comes to other people's feelings but I totally do NOT like bugs.
See, I'm nothing like him.
-
@Sam-Pinansky While I don't know you personally, you appear to not be like Ichiro at all to me. At least in a good way.

Aires's Death Book from Overlap Bunko
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@Rahul-Balaggan May I ask why you say that one? It was just published yesterday and is from a brand new author (won the "Special Prize" in this year's overlap light novel competition).
It looked interesting to me as well but I haven't had a chance to actually read it, have you?
-
@Sam-Pinansky I have not read the book, I will say that the synopsis was intriguing, murder mystery is my favorite genre. The prospect of collecting books of the dead to reproduce past events, I felt that would play very well when introduced inside a murder mystery novel.
Beyond the interesting summary I am a reader that judges every book by its cover.
I have been reading for long enough that when I say I like the cover I will like the book and vice versa.
So for the most part it's just a gut feeling that this will be a good light novel.
Another title that struck me to be good is The Witch and I
Which is also fairly recent. -
I'm not sure if this the right place to ask if J-Novel club was thinking of licensing or translating Isekai Mahou wa Okureteru(The Different World Magic is Too Far Behind) but I would appreciate if you guys would look at possibly licensing. I think it has a very underated story it's definately better than some isekai novels already out there. It sucks how I've had a great time reading this and saddened by how the fan translations have been up and down or very erratic in releases. I hope you guys take a look at it. I know you guys have a realtionship with overlap the publisher of this series so hopefully this may come sooner or later who knows but I would definitely appreciate if you guys do consider it. Thank You!!

@BasedSteve I agree with this. I like that series quite a bit.
