I fail yet again to see what's the point of licensing a series (GM Logged) which has been on hiatus for 3 years
Same reason Sam licenses stuff with only a single volume out so far. The license itself is probably cheap.
I've seen a lot of Micro Magazine titles being licensed lately.
MicroMagazine is making a big push this year to dump as much of their catalogue as possible onto the western market. (Regardless of publication status) They've gotten a taste of that foreign money from stuff like Tensei Slime and they want more.

Let This Grieving Soul Retire! Woe is the Weakling Who Leads the Strongest Party
It's a new series by the author of Defeating the Demon Lord’s a Cinch (If You’ve Got a Ringer) so I'm happy, but SOL Press... Well, at least vol.1 will be this year (probably):
Currently available for pre-order.
Available December 28th. -
@Kyon7 so is Defeating the Demon Lord’s a Cinch (If You’ve Got a Ringer) still going to continue or is it a dead series?
-
@Village-Idiot
Honestly I don't have an answer to that. But it seems the author is slooooowly writing the next volume on the WN website. -

I'm very happy about the The Apothecary Diaries Iicense, but the other ones don't interest me...
-
Glad to see we're getting Ideal Sponger Life. Love the manga but really eager to dig into the light novel.
-
I'm sooooo happy for Apothecary Diaries. I have been asking and wishing and hoping for it for a long time. I'm also super excited for more rom-coms, and Sponger Life has the politics I've been longing for more of too. All in all, best licensing event for me in a long time. You guys are the best!

Newly added titles (JNC):
Are You Okay With a Slightly Older Girlfriend?Great news! I love this series.
My Friend's Little Sister Has It In For Me!
The Ideal Sponger LifeThese two I started reading some time ago but never gone past the beginning, maybe this time will be different.
The others I'll check to see if they might be if my liking. -

But wow is it going to take a few books to catch up to the comic... volume 10 of the comic roughly corresponds to volume 7 of the books...
My talking sword has a point. And is also right.
-
Gonna be reading all of these. Especially the romcoms. Imouza priority number 1.
Choppiri (27 yr old JK) one I will likely buy to support getting more from the author as they are a lover of older heroines (Mama Ga Sukinano, Hero and Maid Oneesans one, and Senpai dating one). Nozomi Kota is really good at their craft (good at knowing when to drop a gag, and how much progress to make you feel like you got your monies worth with a book, at least with volume 1 of Mama; I was surprised how much perspective the mom got in that one too, basically most of the book from her point of view).

@Gamen
I've got nothing but time. I'm very much looking forward to it. -

Accomplishments of the Duke‘s Daughter light novel got licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment.
-
@Liber-Monstrorum I know. I'm waiting on the final license announcement before I post an update...
-
Newly added titles (Seven Seas):
The Haunted Bookstore – Gateway to a Parallel Universe
Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship!
Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling (Earth Star vol.1-12 | Square Enix vol.13+)
Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter
Monster Musume – Monster Girls on the Job!
The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary
Hello World -
I‘m very happy about the Accomplishments of the Duke‘s Daughter license. It will be the only title next to She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wiseman that I will order a physical copy of.
-
Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling (Earth Star vol.1-12 | Square Enix vol.13+)
That'll be nice... the comicilization seems to be adapting at a very slow pace...
-
Accomplishments of the Dukes Daughter and Broke Mercenary are definitely on my reading list. Quite happy, my only regret is that the industry was not as advanced a decade ago for Vanadis to be on the list.
....maybr someday -
id actually given up hope that Broke Mercenary would ever be licensed due to it being the same author as [NL+] so im glad that its gonna be coming out in english
