Novel pick-up requests
-
Sadly, I don't care about anything Kodansha has. Maybe Umineko? I guess we're one step closer to Kadokawa...
Edit: If there is something from Kodansha I do care for, it's been licensed already. (Monogatari)
-
Rakudai is definitely my cup of tea as well.
-
@Aruseus493 So what? Did I mention that it must be already contracted publisher? Nah, I didn´t. And Softbank should be actually possible choice. But it depends. (I know it is Softbank Creative, not just me mention it here xxx times) They have also Hundred, Saijaku or Seiken Tsukai. A good novels.
-
Thought you were thinking it was Kodansha. My bad. But yea, more publishers the better.
-
@Aruseus493 Well, I still believe in Sam and his skills. There is so much good novels.
-
Wortenia Senki when, Sam? The story is really interesting but the manga is really rushed. And the WN translations are straight up copy pasta from Google translate...
-
@Hakomari Hmm Harem, Romance, Martial Arts, you have my support! :D
-
What I like about it is that the MC is neither a beta who is afraid of killing or showing off his power nor a psychopath who kills for fun (Points at the MC of Summoned Slaughterer). He only fights/kills when he has to.
The girls are really really hot too.
-
@Hakomari You know, Harem + Romance, that is the way :D
-
-
@Hakomari That is ok. For me no prob, if it will end with just one girl. But still, more = better :D
-
As far as Kodansha goes, maybe you guys can rescue the Kara no Kyokai license.
Go on then. It's only a cult classic 7 movie series by ufotable and all. -
@Catscope Ohh my that will be good too. I really like the anime. And I read LN on the BT, but it is not finished there.
-
Now kodansha is on board, what title do you think will be good for acquisition? perhaps a more lesser known title, or strategy war like Madan? Is there any? My personal wish is for j novel to get kanojo wa flag no oratera....(who's with me...!!!!), oh and outbreak company
-
@Catscope Kara no Kyoukai would be great! I'm sure it's in a difficult situation though because Kara no Kyoukai was previously licensed by Del Rey and all their licences were transferred to Kodansha USA so it might not be possible.
The only light novels I'd want to request are ones that aren't really feasible. That said, I'll happily try out most series as long as I can read them on my lunch break at work or on the train so titles with less or no fanservice like Faraway Paladin and Grimgar are my preference. :slight_smile:
-
@raddevlin if Zaregoto (formerly of Del Rey) can be passed on to Vertical, I'm sure they could work something out for KnK.
Though that got me thinking, how will J-Novel Club's partnership with Kodansha coexist with Vertical who are partly owned by Kodansha?
Perhaps Vertical get all the high profile flagship titles like Monogatari and other Nisioisin works while J-Novel Club just get the dregs to try and squeeze some money out of low popularity titles?
-
@Catscope Well, we know, that Vertical will publish the whole Monogatari series. But honestly, Kodansha don´t have a big number of popular titles.
-
Kodansha has does have many titles. Too many for Vertical to handle at least. Look when the next volume of Zaregoto series comes out, 13 months after the first volume.
-
@Hakomari I didn´t write about just titles I write about "popular titles" based on rankings.
-
Ah, sorry missed the word "popular". My point is still valid though.
