Weird flex but...
As of 05/29/19:
Digitally I own 281 Premium Edition ebooks, that is every JNC ebook available at the time of this post, including pre-orders. (this number counts pre-orders and it does not include doubles, cause I have doubles of many series)
Physically I own all the Seven Seas editions (Arifureta, Realist Hero, etc.)
I also own all the JNC physicals they have put out so far, all of Too Far Behind, Isekai Maou, Smartphone, and I have everything else on pre-order.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

Basically if I want to reread it for certain, I buy it.
Reading most of everything else currently being translated via pre-pubs.
Exceptions: Dropped Orphan cause the main characters shit me. SisKan was just too weird, I usually dig absurd humour but this was just... nope. Never started Ao Oni or Yume Nikki, cause they didn't sound like my thing (don't like horror). Missed any opportunity to check out Brave Chronicle, Occultic;Nine or Apocalypse, though would likely read them on catch up if I see them on there. Haven't started Crest of the Stars prepubs yet.- Amagi Brilliant Park 1-6

- Arifureta Zero 1-2

-
As of May 29, 2019
Buying:
- Ascendance of a Bookworm (Digital, may pick up physical too later)
- Grimgar (Physical)
(planning on switching over to prepubs next catchup and selling my physical copies, may rebuy physical or digital later when more space and money depending on how I like the rest of the series. I have all the physicals that are out but since I've been busy I'm only on 3 or 4.)
Plan to definitely buy when I've built up more credits / have more money:
- Infinite Dendrogram
Interested in but waiting for a catchup to try out:
- Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride
- Faraway Paladin
- Realist Hero
- My Next Life as a Villaness: All Routes Lead to Doom!
On the fence about buying later:
- Full-metal Panic!
(I do like it pretty well and I want to encourage rescues, but I have limited funds...) - Crest of the Stars (same situation)
There's also a number of series that I'm currently following or would finish if they went on catchup again and I had time that I don't think I'd ever buy for one reason or another. Mainly things with bad gender imbalance and obnoxious harems but with decently interesting premises, SOL that doesn't have much else going on, things with an OP protagonist without great worldbuilding and side characters that keep things interesting. There's also a few series including the ones that I listed as on-the-fence that are too early in for me to really know where they're going yet and if I'd want to invest in them.

-
An honest question, do you actually like every single LN that’s been released or are you just trying to support j novel?
-
@catstorm I don’t like every single one, however I am always looking for a story to read, any story.
Plus I have this deep fear that if I were to drop a book it would get better after I stop.
Like Ragnarok V1, personally I thought it was bad, but V2 improved greatly, and now with V8 I just can’t wait for a new part.
Edit: with that being said JNC only has 1 series so far that I would ever consider dropping, odds are that I won’t but I can’t say I enjoy it all that much. 7S also has 1 LN that I would consider dropping, YP has none I pretty much “enjoy” them enough that they aren’t in a questionable position...

It’s kind of funny I’ve actually dropped/stopped reading a number of the series on my purchased list but still buy the premiums when they come out because maybe I’ll want to read it again in the future.
-
I have got around 222 LNs (not counting the pre-orders) - a mix of JNC and Yen-On
-
@rahul-balaggan So Ragnarok did improve? The first volume was a pain to read, but after watching the anime it looked like something I'd read. I'm thinking of giving it another chance at some point, but then I'd probably start with volume 3 or 4.
Quof got a break.
WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?! -
all ebooks/premiums (no physicals)
New Life 1-3
Elf Bride vol 3 (I wanted the extras)
Arifureta Zero: Volume 1
Bluesteel 1-2 (wan't on catchup and wanted to read it)
wild game 1 (wanted the extras)
realist hero 1 and 7 (for the extras)
JK Haru
Infinite dendrogram 1 (haven't read it yet but don't want to start a preview and not be able to finish a volume)
First and Last Idol
Lazy DM volume 2 (extras)
Mixed Bathing 1-2
Faraway Paladin 1mostly I read pre-pubs as they come out
-
@crimson-wise it did and not to veer off topic too much, I personally thought that there was tremendous improvement from V1 - V2. Next time it is on catch-up i highly recommend picking it back up. (and if you feel like it I would say read V2)
