@LegitPancake Just found out about the credits. And that helped.

The whole bonus thing is an interesting business custom. I wonder when did this all started.
In case of TO Books, publisher of Bookworm, they attach physical copy of bonus side story to:
- Print book purchased directly from TO Books online store
- Distributed at partner brick and mortar book stores
So, they seems to be strongly promoting print books with their bonus contents.
With Bookworm, they have published one compilation book of short stories gathering those past bonus stories and unpublished Web short stories.
Are these short stories being published in the epilogue for J-Novel Club's releases or are we just not going to get them?

No, those short stories were not included inside the actual volume, they were a separate bonus addition when you purchased the book from a particular store in Japan.
J-Novel Club releases the books with the same content as they were released in Japan, since those stories were not in the actual finalized Japanese book it is not included in the J-Novel Club editions.
are we just not going to get them?
This is going to be a wait and see situation, as that would be a whole separate license, and J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on potential future acquisitions.

@BookManiaReader - I'll belatedly second the recommendation to buy Realist Hero first. They are good little stories that are part of the overall story not fluff filler or what-ifs.
Also, if you wait until the October Black Friday sale the book credits will hopefully be $1 off again.

I guess this question applies to all premium releases, but to ask about a specific example...
I notice that Bookworm P3V1 premium book is already available for purchase, even though the final translation was only made available last week, and the book is not scheduled for release on Amazon until August 12th. How close to the "final" version of the book is the current premium release? Is it still being actively edited, and if so does it make sense to wait some weeks before purchasing it?
-
@unknownmat Well, you can download premium releases from your library repeatedly; I just did that today to get the updated Smartphone v18 w/ the bonuses.
-
@unknownmat And do add to the one above who asnwered you. You can download the updated book even years later. Bought realist and smartphone always when it was released and just downloaded the updated versions this weekend. As long as J-Novel doesn't lose the license you can download them as long as the JNC servers are up.
-
@unknownmat To address the question I think you're asking -- even if you purchase the premium ebook now, you won't be able to download it until its actual release date. (It's just a preorder.)

Ah! I didn't know this. I hadn't attempted to purchase it yet because I wanted to avoid accidentally grabbing an incomplete version.
So basically it's a complete non-issue and I'm worried over nothing. Thanks.

@ennithree Opps didn't check if it is downloadable.
-
So as it did come out yesterday. What are the extras for Herscherik?Forget it I searched for Herscherik instead of kingdom in woe
-
@unknownmat - the premium epub is not released until 2+ weeks after the final weekly prepub release, after additional editing and proofreading.
By the time it appears it is hopefully the final version, but if mistakes are found after release then corrections might be added later. You can always wait to download until you're ready to read the book, and if you re-read it later you can download it again to pick up any corrections.
-
Seems like I am an recurring nuisance. What are the extras for "Monster Tamer"?

Textless color illustrations
(Still at work and can’t update the list, in my defense I did post about it in the volume topic)
-
Any news on what the bonus is for BLACK SUMMONER?
-
@Bryan A bunch of short stories! If you check the discussion topic in the Members subforum, Rahul usually posts a list once the book is out.
-
Is there no bonus content in Grimgar Vol 16? IRC there was something like 3 short stories in Japan.
-
No One updating the list with the bonus content details?

Hello
The list is typically updated within 24 hours after a new premium edition is released.
The last time it was updated was 6 days ago, with the release of Reincarnated as a Prince Volume 3.Edit: The list has now been updated with the newest releases (Outbreak Company V16, Slayers V5, & Can Someone Please Explain V5).
Later today it will be updated with the 3 new volumes that have recently released.It is now done.Is there anything in particular that is not currently on the list, that has been released?
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

I think Holmes of Kyoto V2 & The Bloodline V1 are missing.
