Pretty dissapoiting with the Light Novels this time with Seven Seas :(

ant13099

Boy hope J Novel got some good pick ups because both 7 seas and Yen press licenses are big let down

Timmaaah

Wow, that was super disappointing... Both Yen and SS didn't announce anything of interest so far... JNC is the last hope...

Raitoiro

7s was a huge desapointement this year :(
They did so well last time, annoucing Classroom of the elite and Mushoku Tensei, but here aside from "At night, I become a monster "
(Btw does anybody as a synopsis for it?) there's nothing good.

Yoshken

I’m at least I got to sit here a tell you guys what is coming I don’t think I will get any of the titles myself

@raitoiro

I'm curious about the At Night, I Become a Monster title too

and I also don't think I'm interested in anything else they got. But I suppose fans of yuri and such might be happy?

Truth be told the last 5 or so Licensing batches from yen 7 seas and J Novel have been super disappointing, I feel like they are not listening to what the fans want and are filling the markets with what they can get on the cheap. I have not heard of any of these titles while titles we have been clamoring for have yet to be picked up.

I mean in all the groups and fan clubs I’m apart never heard any one say there interested in any thing yen or 7 seas have picked up.

I mean how has death mage who dose not want a 4th time not get licensed every one I have talked wants that one big time.

My fear is if these companies don’t start listening to what there fans want and pushing what they can get on the cheap there going to head into an industry crash

ant13099

@theredjet thanks for the information,

Raitoiro

@yumenokage Apparently it's from the author of "I want to eat your pancreas" so it could be really good

Yoshken

Much better than my list

Just because "fans" want it doesn't mean it would be profitable.
Just because you've never heard of it doesn't mean other people didn't want it.

I can't see how you could come to that conclusion when Sevens Sea license "Mushoku Tensei" which a huge part of the community had been asking for for years, "Classroom of the elite" which was also on a lot of people wish list and "Reincarnated as a sword" which while less popular still had a somewhat big fanbase.
Same for JNC, they just give us "Ascendance of a bookworm" which so many people have asked for, "Full metal panic!" which is kind of a classic, "I shall survive using potion" which as one of FUNA series was requested by quite a lot of people.
If you look at the Licensing request you will see that quite a number of series between the 35~20 have been licensed.

I mean how has death mage who does not want a 4th time not get licensed every one I have talked wants that one big time.

Sure "The death mage..." is quite popular but that doesn’t mean it's a good idea to license it, it could be a situation similar to Highschool DxD.
Also, it's nitpicky, but not everyone wants it, I sure don't and I have read the WN up to the orc empire arc.

My fear is if these companies don’t start listening to what there fans want and pushing what they can get on the cheap there going to head into an industry crash

You seem to confuse what you want and what the community as a whole want cause nearly every company has "recently" license really popular series (JNC: Ascendance of a bookworm; Yen: 86; SS: Mushoku Tensei).
