@paulnamida I've read the novel... It's REALLY bad.
Literally some examples of the policy changes the main character institutes: "Hey racism is bad. Don't be racist against the undead, especially cute mummy girls."
"Oh wow we never realised mummies look just like people except with bandages on, and that if you put the cute mummy with giant boobs in a dress she looks like a beautiful girl!"
"Oh wow, the gods literally indicated to us that they approve of your new "don't be racist" law, you're a genius and a natural leader! None of our previous rulers ever considered not being racist."
-
This is a first thing that comes to mind when you tell me the defining characteristic of the main heroine is twin tails.

Oh God, you guys need to license this Hobby Japan book. Dude can't die, and it looks like he gets

Node Kugito killed himself various times in his life. The result, he noticed that he’s immortal.
Now a serial killer has come to his town. By chance he meets the killer at the park at night. A serial killer against an immortal boy. Who will stand victorious?

@terrence that sounds indeed interesting. And from your link I see it has quite a few volumes out too already. Do you know the english title perhaps? I'm wondering if there is a fan translation around I can check.

I might buy one of the volumes on Bookwalker JP and then do the same, but I'll bide my time for now.
I'm eyeing Gamers! volumes on discount right now. You guys think the ship has sailed on Gamers!, or is licensing still a good possibility from one of Kadokawa's English pubs (Yen + Bookwalker)? I hate to buy something, then see it got licensed... But 30 JPY is really cheap.
-
@terrence Ohhh, the series is already complete with 7 volumes it seems which makes it a plus for me. And I see there is the first volume fan translated back in 2012/2013. I'll have a quick read through to see if it's interesting. That said, I'll wait for it to get picked up and translated officially. I don't understand a thing of Japanese and I won't buy untranslated LNs :)
-
It's less the ship has sailed, and more like they refuse to let the ship even be built with Kadokawa. We just need Kadokawa to license freely to all publishers.

@terrence
Why didn't you mention Seven Seas?
They license Fujimi titles too. -
@terrence
There's a volume translated already if you wanna try it first
But apparently, it ain't really liked:

We are at least getting a Fujimi Shobo novel now from Yen Press with Mommy Isekai. So hopefully that opens things up with regards to other pubs too, but we'll see.
I ended up grabbing novel 1 of that one I was looking at from Bookwalker JP, so I'll give it a try at some point and report back. =]

Ah, there's the one. So we can ask them for Fujimi. I'll keep that in mind!

@aruseus493 i do like how mature it is, but i would still consider it ecchi
-
@galactuskahn24
There're no problems with ecchi. Mixed Bathing is one of my favorite series from J-Novel Club. -
@galactuskahn24 yeah as @Aruseus493 said there is no problem with ecchi or fanservice. if anything it only matters how the fanservice is executed. one thing you could look at for Fanservice is, is it Fanservice for the viewer or for the characters?

Earth Star novel posted some of the images from that "Born as a Treasure Chest Mimic With Legs" novel on their Twitter.

@terrence that's disturbing as fuck

@paulnamida said in Novel pick-up requests:
@terrence ...disturbing...
But the main girl is Kawaii! Reminds me of Ms PacMan. But with razor sharp teeth...
Did I mention she's a red head underneath it all? That makes it fine if she bites us, right?
Opening pages of the story spoilers:
-
We should have theme days where someone posts a theme and we request something we want that fits it.
-
@aruseus493 Here is s aTheme then: Double Protagonists, a series with two core main characters such as Spice and Wolf and No Game No Life. Sherlock Holmes is the Protagonist of his Story but Doctor Watson is the Main Character.
My suggestion for this theme is : I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated
This can Rival Yen Ons Reborn as a Vending Machine
