@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.
-
@Sam-Pinansky Just out of curiosity, was it the entertainment industry that drove you to study physics? Trying to Figure out how superpowers of characters work makes me regret not getting a degree. I had to watch a Youtube video to learn why movie Magneto is weaker than comic Magneto(his powers are based on ferromagnetism instead of electromagnetism like the comics, for those interested).
Also, your probably going to regret revealing this. Now everyone will be asking you how so-and-so character can do "x" in Jnovel's LNs. Then again, most are isekai so you can always just say "it's magic".
-
@gocav No I was interested in physics since middle school and always had einstein as my sort of role model as a kid.
-
Speaking of this year's Overlap light novel competition, what the heck is "Julia Caesar - Gaul Senki"? "Tullia Cicero?" "Licita Crassus"? Is this just Oda Nobuna - SPQR Edition?
-
@Catscope It seems to be an ancient rome themed "travelled to the past but everyone is busty girls".
-
So Koihime Musou - Ver. Imperium Romanum then.
They're just giving out prizes like candy these days aren't they?
But hey, you guys don't have one of those yet. -
@Catscope I'd like to hold one! Maybe this summer. Get those light novel ideas ready!
Our prize might be a little lower than the Japanese publishers prizes though. Some of them payout like $10,000 to the winner!
