I agree. The translation, I feel, was really well done. But yeah, I found a lot of little mistakes that really should have been caught. -
From what I remember them saying any new series and world teacher will have bonus material if bought from their store, but side character wouldn't have it in digital since they have already done it only for physical volume 1 and 2. I wish they would do it for digital too for side character.
-
It's too bad they don't have enough funding for a second translation team -- 10 months between volumes is as bad as Slow Press, and more than twice as slow as other publishers.
World Teacher sounds like it might be entertaining, but I'll probably wait until November to think about buying volume 1.

License announced on stream earlier.

This might be worth a read.

Just a little small update for folks only on the forum (I know JNC Discord chat mentioned it).
https://twitter.com/kakeru_takamine/status/1377919531725643779?s=20
Author of "How To Melt The Ice Queen" series feels that it won't get a third volume as of now unfortunately. Volume 2 didn't sell enough physically to get that next volume. Some folks pointed out a tweet where they hinted there's still a half a year window to turn it around, but it's still unlikely (I wouldn't get your hopes up basically about any further volumes).
Folks on Tentai Discord did say that the second volume does wrap up some parts of the story, but remains to be seen what that means or what's left out. I'll still definitely grab the two volumes, but just don't want people to feel burned that there's only the two volumes, go in expecting that, keep expectations about how concluded it will be lower maybe.

There's still the webnovel(92 chapters, last update 2021/03/30). Not exactly sure how much that is in terms of material, do the two novel volumes comprise most of it?

Personally right now I'm pretty frustrated with Tentai, the other day when I decided to purchase a book from their website it would just not download. I tried multiple times but each time the download failed at about the halfway point. Has anyone else ran into this problem?

Apparently, the author of How To Melt The Ice Queen is going on r/LightNovels/ subreddit for a Q&A session shortish...;

I finally got around to starting World Teacher, but... I'm not even done reading the first chapter that I've found an atrocious amount of errors: missing spaces, missing periods, missing double quotes, duplicate text, duplicate periods, typos, female characters turning into males, etc.
The editor & proofreaders must have been sleeping if this is the kind of quality we're getting. Too bad since I'm rather interested in the series.

I gave in and bought it a month ago. I enjoyed it despite the typos and am looking forward to reading volume 2 someday.
They should send you advance copies to correct :-)
(Mostly serious here, you find a lot of typos in the JNC prepubs, improving the overall quality for many books. Thanks!)
-
@harmlessdave Even JNC prepubs have less error than TB's published copy. Really. 👀
I am interested in a couple of other series they have but I think I'll refrain for now. Unless they greatly improve (which I doubt) they'll simply turn out to be a copy of Slow Press.

@terabyte
It did indeed have a lot of errors in it. However, the story was good enough to overcome that. But, since they arecstill fairly bew,band I believe they had to switch translators midway through, or even start over, I'm giving them some leeway here. The second book, when that comes out, will tell me if they're serious or not. -

Yeah I have this problem on side char v1 and world teacher v1. Gets to about 45/60 before deciding its done. By any chance have you figured out the reason?
-
@corp20 No never figured it out, sorry I can't help you out.

Tentai Books 2021 June Update
-
New announcements tomorrow on the Tentai Twitch channel at 2:00 PM tomorrow. Should be some more romcom in there.
-
Their announcements cost me $20 so far today, and I can't even pre-order any of the new books.
-
Really excited for Tentai's new licenses, two really fluffy series with Toxic classmate and You like me, don't you? And they even got the popular I kissed my girlfriend's little sister.
-
Yup, I'll be reading all 3.
