@saskir yes there is
Textless illustrations.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

Since Arifureta Zero was licensed, is itr safe to assume we'll get the Bonus Short Stories that came only when you got both volume 7 of the main series and volume 1 of Zero? http://blog.over-lap.co.jp/tokuten_arifureta7zero/
-
@aruseus493 IMO, if these are translated as well, they should be packaged with vol. 7 of the main series unless there's no spoilers, vol. 6 brings some HEAVY changes.
-
Thanks for the answer. Textless Artwork is nice but if it is the same way as in Clockwork Planet then I see no real drive to buy the premium version (seeing as I still have money left over on my amazon account). The text was so minimal that I can live without textless illustrations.
-
@saskir for premium members, the credits are cheaper than the Amazons releases tho, not to mention they are DRM-free and have full size images, unlike Kindle's cap of 128kb per image, but I guess if you already have credit on Amazon there's no point arguing that.
-
You could save the Amazon credit for something from Yen-On or some other publisher?
-
As usual, this thread could use an update to the OP. So what're the Premium Bonuses for:
- Rokujouma 7.5, 8, &8.5
- Isekai Smartphone 6 (I assume more Bonus Short Stories)
- Infinite Dendrogram 4 (I assume more SS)
- UchuMusume 4 (I assume more SS)
- Grimgar 7 (I assume more SS)
-

Rokujouma 7.5, 8, &8.5
Textless illustrations for all three.
-
@_08 I'm hoping when we get to the point (volume 16 onward) , that the side stories for Rokujouma get included in the Premium E-books.
-
Outbreak Company Bonus info please?
-
@lilithr02r1 Volume 1 has textless illustrations so more then likely V2 will also be textless illustrations.
-
@aruseus493
Smartphone 6 has one short storie including our lovely "I-handle-my-garage-with-care" mechanic android and the author talking about his work enviroment. I am not sure if we had the Mecha Designs in the preub. -
Is there a more updated/complete list of the premium/bonus content somewhere? I see that several volumes in the first post are totally missing. I am trying to decided if it is worth getting the premium books or not. If they have short stories, like Isekai Smartphone, then I'd consider it but if the premium content is only textless pictures I don't really care...
-
@terabyte Which volumes/series are you asking about? The closest we have is that J-NC Newsletter which lets you know what the Premium Bonuses for each month are. For February:
- Realist Hero Volume 5 - Five Bonus Short Stories
- Outbreak Company Volume 2 - Extensive Translation Notes so you don't miss a single reference! Also textless illustrations
- Rokujouma Volume 9 - Textless Illustrations
- Clockwork Planet Volume 3 - An exclusive interview with the amazing inventor of the gear cube, and 1000s of other puzzles and geared contraptions, Oskar van Deventer! Also textless illustrations
- How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord - A Bonus pinup illustration! Also textless illustrations.
- Occultic;Nine Volume 3 - Textless illustration collection containing spreads from vols 1-3.
- [New Life+] Young Again in Another World Volume 1 - Textless Illustrations.
-
@aruseus493 Really looking forward to see what will come with later volumes of Rokujouma.
-
@paul-nebeling I think Sam mentioned the bonus short stories will start with volume 16.
-
@aruseus493 Currently I've made an account and subscribed to the newsletter only recently so I haven't gotten any yet.
I am interested in:
- [New Life+] Young Again in Another World: this one is already out since it has only textless illustrations
- Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest: I see the first 3 volumes have extra stories so that's one I'll consider
- How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord: that's out too since it's only illustrations
- Outbreak Company: what exactly are these extensive notes for volume 2? Any quick example? Also, what about volume 1?
- Infinite Dendrogram: the first 3 volumes seem to have extra short stories so that goes on the list to consider too. What about volumes 4 thought? Does it have extra stories too?
- In Another World With My Smartphone: the first 3 volumes have extra stories, but what about the other 3?
- How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom: first post lists mini stories for each volume, but since it hasn't been updated in a while I wonder if the new volumes after that post have any too?
- If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord: first post lists extra stories for the first 2 volumes, what about the other 3?
- Demon King Daimaou: first 2 volumes have only textless pictures so I won't consider it either, I assume volume 3 (and 4) will be the same but I'd like to know for sure.
Those are the ones I'm currently interested in, I've been reading either the web novel/manga of it or watching the anime. Actually I got into reading LNs because of Isekai Smartphone, after the anime I started reading the WN. From there I ended up on Novel Updates, got into reading more LN about old anime/manga and finally I ended up finding about J-Novel Club.

Every volume comes with Bonus Short Stories as the Bonus Stories come from the Japanese Retailer Exclusive Pre-Order and Limited Edition bonuses. A personal favorite series of mine.
Outbreak Company: what exactly are these extensive notes for volume 2? Any quick example? Also, what about volume 1?
Not a series I'm following so I can't remember what volume 1 is mentioned to have.
Infinite Dendrogram: the first 3 volumes seem to have extra short stories so that goes on the list to consider too. What about volumes 4 thought? Does it have extra stories too?
Yes, volume 4 comes with bonus short stories and I think all subsequent volumes come with them.
In Another World With My Smartphone: the first 3 volumes have extra stories, but what about the other 3?
Yes, another series with lots of bonus stories.
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom: first post lists mini stories for each volume, but since it hasn't been updated in a while I wonder if the new volumes after that post have any too?
Yup, each volume comes with bonus stories.
If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord: first post lists extra stories for the first 2 volumes, what about the other 3?
Every volume from J-NC so far on this series has bonus stories. I assume they continued in Japan too.
Demon King Daimaou: first 2 volumes have only textless pictures so I won't consider it either, I assume volume 3 (and 4) will be the same but I'd like to know for sure.
I think so.

@terabyte I recently got the Arifureta volume 1 in paper and it’s really cool. Although one of the illustrations is kinda washed out, it includes the bonus stories and is only $7.49 on Amazon right now. And it’s huge (for a light novel) to say the least.
Unfortunately that only applies to amazon.com and I live in Italy. I also often read while I'm outside the house and/or traveling (like on the train) so I prefer the digital versions I can read anywhere without taking a physical book with me :)
