      Does anyone happen to know how long they generally take for digital releases..or if they even do digital

      They do digital. They have a whole page dedicated to early digital.

      http://www.sevenseasentertainment.com/digital/

      "Early" still takes months. =/

      2019/02/07 Classroom of the Elite (Light Novel) Vol. 1
      2019/03/07 Division Maneuver (Light Novel) Vol. 1
      2019/03/28 Skeleton Knight in Another World (Light Novel) Vol. 1
      2019/04/04 Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (Light Novel) Vol. 1
      2019/04/11 Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! (Light Novel) Vol. 6

      You're probably looking at May for Sword Reincarnation. Of course, I'm just guessing.

        @Terrence Thats really disappointing..ah well. I've read the WN so I'd have to wait either way to get to a point where the content is new anyhow.

          I have hundreds of titles (manga & novels) I wanna see licensed (put together in .txt files or S notes documents)

          I was curious about the actual number so I just combined 2 lists of mine and got 409 (didn't dare to add the rest...)
          130 Manga
          279 Novels

              Well, if we are competing, I can add my amazon.co.jp and Bookwalker wishlist, and the rest of my documents lol
              But I am too lazy for that. lol
              I thought it was like 200-250 titles...but to find the list might have reached 1k (that was a surprise)

                Can someone help me with this license a bit. I'd like to request it because it seems to be Yuri comedy, but I just don't know what the title even is in English.

                " 将来的に死んでくれ "

                    But, weellll, if you are looking for title translation, Google Translate ain't pulling your leg lol
                    Shouraiteki (Shourai = Future, teki is to turn noun into adjectives)
                    Shindekure (Shinde = die, kure = informal please)

                    So, yeah, It's something along the lines of "Please die in the future" lol (but I am not the best to ask around about JP anyway)

                      I have to wait until around vol 3-ish to get to new content for me.

                        @drone205 Yeah I'm up to chapter 303 in the WN, whichever book that is for Sword Dad.

                          @sam-dukes I assume each book is like 25-30 ish WN chapters as it roughly lines up with what would be a climax for each book

                            I just hope the book is heavily edited.

                            I read the WN now and then and holy crap is there a lot of meandering croft in there. Not even Slice of Life, just meandering and wallowing and not /anything/, interspersed by cool action and slice of life.

                              Arifureta again. It's possible they are mocking us.

                                @novurdim Yesterday I thought "At least there is no more Arifurueta for them to license" but I was wrong... I swear they are just trolling us at this point

                                  Is there any more Arifureta they could license? A doujinishi perhaps? An anthology with different mangaka? =P

                                      WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?!

                                        speaking of anthologies I wouldn't mind if they licensed the YagaKimi anthology that came out recently

                                            Looks like the next one Seven Seas picked up is a manga series, Nicola's Demon World Travels. I haven't heard of this one, but it seems interesting.
