      So everything balances out, after a good batch announcements this one contains nothing that interests me.
      Congratulations to everybody who got something exciting to read. :)

        Seeing all these announcements happening during SakuraCon makes me wonder if they were planning of having a panel but had to scrap it for whatever reason

        They wanted to have a panel but I believe Sakura Con themselves said that only companies that sponsor the con are allowed to have a Panel

        Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

          @myskaros Let me double check this. Two (or three) completed series, one ongoing, and one that sounds like it's in the same state as Watafuta.

          Did Sam say he was picking up Banner of the Stars as well?

            Yes, that's included too.

                          @kino this one I am really intrested on, a laid back zombie apocalypse comedy sounds really fun

                            I've really enjoyed Killing Slimes for 300 Years so I'm looking forward to this.

                                    Anyone have a LNDB page, or even the JP publisher’s page?

                                          Hmm, that Seven Seas licensed novel hasn't been updated since the 3rd volume in October 2018 (appears to be a novel-novel and not an LN, so not too unusual to be spaced out longer).

                                          Main character is 42? I definitely could use more mature heroes.

                                          The publisher isn't a usual suspect it seems too. Lots of their popular line looks to be BL.

                                            This looks interesting to me as a 40-something dude Who used to play D&D.

                                            I feel Seven Seas has been putting out a lot of great stuff. They may actually have the highest LN hit ratio for me. I follow Average Abilities, Toradora and Classroom of the Elite. There’s a few others they have that I’m excited to start too.
