Get Ready to Fall for August Catchups!
-
Okay, I feel like I remember someone recommending Receptionist in another series discussion (maybe Great Cleric?) so I'm gonna start with that. Might give Black Summoner a try as well, and then once I'm done with them, touch on Realist Hero. Leaving it for last because based on everything I've heard about the series, if I do enjoy it, I'm highly likely to buy the volumes and if not, I probably won't want to read them all this month anyway.

That's what I mean about it being nice if we had a collection of how-tos in one place for different (device, device, reader app) combinations to send people to.
For Premium, on an iPad, I download with the browser and share it from there with Apple Books. It automatically synchs it with Apple drive and can then read on my other apple devices.

Is Occultic Nine complete? The anime was nice, I'm curious to read the novel too if it has a conclusion.
-
@lex It isn't. It was a nice read, but it's not complete at all.
-
@jaquobus thanks for the answer.
-
Receptionist was a nice read. Wataru was underrated but does require a particular sense of humor.

See @pcj 's note above. You can try buying a premium edition of something you like that has bonus content (see my link), then using the download button, then opening it in any ebook reader app that supports EPUB format like Moon Reader.
-
@harmlessdave Had so much trouble last time but now it works fine. Just have to decide what premium versions to get

@georgemto
gets most of the way through Receptionist vol 1 and is really enjoying it
checks premium epubs list - sees bonus short stories in all 3 volumes
has exactly 3 credits in stock because I always purchase in groups of 10 to minimise international transaction fees
Well I guess that's a sign
has 0 credits left -
@myskaros is Side by Side Dreamers the author’s debut novel? I can see a lot of influence of this in Otherside Picnic. Lots of ideas that were sort of glossed over here became much more fleshed out in that series.
One thing I notice is that she likes to write dreamscapes where normal logic doesn’t apply. Makes for some trippy reading.
-
@anony-mouse99 Doing a quick search on Amazon JP, no, he's written other novels, and Otherside Picnic vol. 1 also came out earlier than Side-By-Side Dreamers.
-
@myskaros I see. Thanks for the info. In that case I guess both book/series draw from the same source of inspiration then, but for different audience/age groups.
-
Oh man, I’m always up for Science Adventure series stuff.

Where is the the Realist Kingdom Volume 1 discussion thread? I can only find threads for Volume 2 and onward, and for the manga.
EDIT: Found them! Apparently, they were never moved to the Realist Hero subforum.
-
@sillymel The really early series/volumes were a lot less organized when it comes to forum topics, unfortunately :<
-
Also, for other people that want to read Realist Hero, Volume 1’s prologue is missing from the pre-pubs, and you’ll have to read it from one of the ebook samples.

Oh, that's odd. Not sure how or when that happened. I've fixed it, so part 1 should have the prologue now.

Hey, sorry for the non-sequitor here myskaros, but was wondering if JNC was thinking of picking up either the manga or the kinda/sorta sequel?
-
Not Myskaros however, the general answer would be that J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing acquisitions until they are ready to announce.
That being said, since you are quoting a comment in relation to the Realist Hero Series, I will mention that J-Novel Club has licensed and is releasing the manga.
https://j-novel.club/series/how-a-realist-hero-rebuilt-the-kingdom-manga
Since you mentioned sequel series after that, I assume this is not about Realist Hero, as to my knowledge there is no sequel series.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.
