Premium E-Book Bonus Contents List!
-
@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.

@myskaros Alright thanks, not on discord so didn't see it.

Sure to Buy
- Elf Bride
- Arifureta Zero
- Arifureta
- Gear Drive
- Realist Hero
- Lazy Dungeon Master
Unconvinced to Buy

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. -
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.

@sam-pinansky
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
https://forums.j-novel.club/post/30646
The reason why is also mentioned on the previous page

@rahul-balaggan
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.
-
Any news what the Bakarina bonus content is?
-
@cosm1cfall If I recall right questions for the author/editor/translator? (I don't recall which one.)
EDIT: Ah, here it is => https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/1733/bakarina-1-premium-materials-discussion-interview-questions/1

@cosm1cfall yes what @Terabyte said, sorry I was at AnimeNYC this weekend and I just got home and forgot to update the list, it is up to date now.
-
How worth it would you say is Der Werwolf's extra story. Debating premium version or Google Play.

@sinnoaria The list is updated after the premium edition is released, for now since V8 is on pre-order the premium content is still TBD
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@terrence The Bonus Short Story for the second book is about how Gomivira met Friedensrichter. And how he convinced her to help him.
All in all, those short stories are really short but if I have the choice between not having them or buying the books with the short stories I would go for the Premium edition.
