                @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.

                                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.

                                      @raitoiro Last time I asked in Discord Sam said it got delayed a bit because of his mistake (so TL start got delayed). I guess we should be getting it anytime now though.

                                        speaking of new licenses, didn't Sam say during the last announcement thing there would probably be a few more series announced later in the summer? Around when would that be, most likely?

                                          @yumenokage There will probably be announcements at AX.

                                            thanks. I remembered some event being mentioned but couldn't remember what it was. I'm not really in a position to travel around to cons so I've never kept track of them.

                                            If we get some there, then it'll be just a bit more than a month. :)
