Ascendance of a Bookworm: "Gaiden" short story book
-
I would also really like to read these books! I’m totally fine with waiting until the main series is finished though.
-
I love these books and want to read everything that I can.
-
-
Please yes please
-
-
What's one more book on top of the pile, really?
-
If we can license it, bring it on. I've been having too many weekends lately anyway.

Just like Rozemyne, bookworm fans are nice. However we show no mercy when it comes to getting what we want. 😂

WHAT DO WE WANT?
I wanted to have a witty signature once I saw some of the ones some guys on the Bookworm forums had but None of the ones I thought felt witty enough...
The solution: Fuck it, I'll go Commando! -
@alfonso_rd_36 Lots of books and for people to leave us alone so we can read them, usually.

Gosh darn it! Twarted by the lack of memetics knowledge!

@quof As Ferdinand would say "take a potion". More seriously, thanks for your speedy translation, and much love.

This obviously fits right after P4V3 in the timeline (since year 1 at the RA ends with P4V3). I wonder if JNC will get this... (I know we'll find out a few hours before the first part goes live if they do, so that's kind of a rhetorical question).
When Altina pulled this, we got it side by side with the main story volume that was running at that time. With the size of the Bookworm project (and the concurrently running Fanbook 2) I wonder if it would make better sense to do it in place of a main story volume before starting P4V4... or if they could handle all three at once.

@pcj I think if we do get it we'll get it side-by-side with V4 right after FB2 ends.

I mean... are we sure the AoB team even needs sleep at this point? 😁

Quof has already given his opinion on this in the licensing request topic, he believes he can do it.

Excuse me while I vomit up blood.
I imagine if these were to happen I would do them simultaneously with a main volume without slowing down. Now that LDM is caught up I could slip them into the slots where LDM used to be without issue. But deciding that isn't my wheelhouse.
I mean I've been tling Bookworm and LDM side by side for like 2 years, tling a main volume and this gaiden volume is basically the same thing - two LNs at once. It would be pretty uncomfy if it were during another LDM volume but doing it during a gap between LDM volumes would be standard stuff.
LDM is currently doing a volume (p1 of 10 out), so after that and fanbook vol2 finishes, and then Quof takes a brief nap, it's certainly possible. Kier might actually be more the issue of working on 2 volumes at once, but they could potentially give Gaiden a different editor if he can't? That's obviously not something they can discuss much publicly.
EDIT: should've continued further on, Kier also said he was up for it in the thread. So no guarantee due to licensing involved, but it's certainly something the Bookworm team is willing to do, giving us two volumes at once.

Chapter titles in the spoiler links, very roughly translated.
OMG, want!!!
-
@xdrfiredogx Well Quof is also working on a LDM volume right now, plus the Bookworm manga too. He’s got a lot on his plate even without Gaiden.
I don’t expect Gaiden to start until after LDM is in limbo (final prepub for LDM is November 2nd). -
It appears on the official web site that this book is after part 4 vol 4. As to when exactly it should be read I can’t say.
