@terrence More volumes? Not really. There wasn't much of a story to begin with, and I think the book wrapped up nicely for what it is. Reading the afterword, I got this impression that a volume 2 wasn't even considered... but maybe that's just me. Or maybe it's a simple case of "If it hasn't gotten a follow-up more than a year later, it probably didn't do too well".
The characters, I felt, weren't written in a way that would suggest any future developments. The book being a collection of semi-connected short stories, it never gave enough time or focus to any one character for me to get attached to them. They were just there... So that's a minus.My overall impression is that Pizza Elf is a decent quick read if you're just looking to kill some time and have nothing better to do. Like I did when I visited my grandparents over the weekend.
For me it was like a junk food that gives you this placebo effect that you're eating. Only you begin to realize halfway through that your belly is still pretty empty and you want more substance out of your meal. So by the time you're finished you wonder if it was worth it. -
Cross Infinite World announced a new two volume series, a scifi novel called Beast + Blood. I can't find anything about it (my Google skills are fail). Is it a web novel only?

@doublemangekyo Guess its time to put my money where my mouth is. 12 Volumes of FMP! for original series; and 1 year premium gives you 12 premium credits, that should add up.
-
@strykeanjel Umm, okay? Good on you, I guess. Not sure why I was mentioned here tbh.
-
@strykeanjel Given that most volumes take 8 weeks to translate with two weeks between volumes, you should find yourself with a few extra credits by the time FMP is fully translated.
-
Also, if all you're getting is those 12 credits and you don't care about any other series, then a year of premium probably isn't worth it. FMP probably won't have any game-changing premium bonuses, so getting the ebooks from other vendors would probably save you a bunch of money (but hey, if you're willing to give J-Novel more money then please do heh).
-
@legitpancake Maybe @StrykeAnjel will get drawn in by our witty banter and decide to try some new title.

Actually, premium is cheaper in the long run if you subscribe for a month and stock up on credits. FMP's 12 volumes would cost up to $76.95.
