        @sinnoaria We try and get what's available but things don't always exist or are gettable.

          @sam-pinansky said in Premium E-Book Bonus Contents List!:

          Note: Had to remove the textless illustrations from the Kadokawa books. Sorry!

          If you can, what's the issue...?
          Are you trying to get them back or are they just gone for good?

            @khaos Sam explained on Discord that textless illustrations are prime for print-on-demand bootlegs or unofficial merchandise, and Kadokawa didn't want to enable that behavior. He didn't think it would be an issue since other publishers didn't care, so he never specifically brought it up as a bonus he was providing, and they requested the removal once they found out.

            Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                  Nobody asked for this but here's a list of all the JNC titles I'm caught up with separated by whether or not I'm convinced to get the premium epubs by virtue of the bonus content included:

                    As a person who has bought the Kindle versions (due to convenience) but always having a preference for the paper format, I am greatly relieved that some of the series released by J Novel are being printed.
                    I know that some of those which are printed by Seven Seas do not have the extra content. But has J Novel indicated at this time if they are putting the short stories for "In another world with my smartphone" in the printed edition? This would be my main incentive for getting the paper copy, I do not think I could justify, a Kindle, a premium and a paper copy.

                    Author of Praetor's Blood.

                      wish the Gear Drive short stories had a bit more plot in them(particularly about the purple girl). but I guess we can wait til Vol 2 to see what happens.

                        Hey, I wished I had known about the e-book bonus contents were Premium only. Then I wouldn't have bought the e-books on other platforms. Just my complaint.

                          Shouldn't Kokoro Connect Volume 2 have textless Illustrations? It's kind of inconsistent since volume 1 had it, or was it forgotten? I've just downloaded premium vol2 and there was none.

                            @kyon7 Kadokawa doesn’t want Textless illustrations,

                            Sam mentioned that on the previous page

                            The reason why is also mentioned on the previous page

                            Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

                              Yeah, just re-downloaded KC vol 1 and textless illustrations were gone. I guess I will keep my exclusive august edition which still has them :)

                                @kyon7 I hate to remove content but it's unfortunately a requirement.

                                        How worth it would you say is Der Werwolf's extra story. Debating premium version or Google Play.

                                          @terrence For V1 the Bonus short story is not really imperative to the story.

                                          It is just a small story about

                                          spoiler

                                          The above is a very mild indirect spoiler
