            You can just edit your previous post, you know.

            Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

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

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

                    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.

                    Do you like death, war and misery ?
                    Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
                    Do you like vengeance story?
                    If so then then vote for The girl who ate a death god

                        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

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

                                    1. Just because "fans" want it doesn't mean it would be profitable.
                                    2. 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).

                                      Do you like death, war and misery ?
                                      Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
                                      Do you like vengeance story?

                                        So the hints were that one is a story that involves a demon lord, or has "demon lord" in the title, he mentioned there were a lot of titles that involved demon lords, The other was hard to understand. Either a rescue or a title that everyone thought that they would never get, but somehow they got it.

                                          Let’s all remember that this is a topic to discuss speculation of potential future licenses, if you wanna talk about how you feel about already licensed novels make a new topic.

                                          Also let’s all remember to be respectful of each other’s opinions, what one individual may consider to be “good” & “popular”, may not fit everyone’s definition of those terms.

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

                                            With one of the hints being about Demon Lords while he was talking about how many there are, I'm betting on that Demon Lord Academy which just got the manga licensed from Square Enix. Seems like a shoe-in for a licensed LN.
