@lisast Clearly, we have:
- Fast Demon King Immediacy
- And Let There Be Dungeons
- They Flee First
- Black Belt Chucky
All of these relate to a rampaging Myne engaging in a Bloody Carnival.
- Like Sailor Moon's relationship but backwards
I’m sorry I don’t actually know anything about Sailor Moon so I can’t make a joke here- Facebook's Ultimate Plan
Facebook, you say???
- Stories of dating in Japan
This is part of Myne’s goal of organizing a library; it’s important to record the dates of which your stories are published!
TL;DR “Wait, it’s all Bookworm Gaiden?” “Always has been.”

@pcj I can't help but think of that beloved memeable moment:
"My job here is done!" > "But you didn't do anything!"
So the reverse would be the person is useful?

Mask Tuxedo?

So the metaverse? Maybe something with VR?
@pcj said in Acquisitions Speculation - General:
Series 5: So it has a male lead who bumbles things up a lot, and a mysterious strong female character always swoops in the save the day when he messes up?
Maybe it's the reverse of that, a strong capable MC where a mysterious and incompetent stranger always swoops in trying to help.

Hint number 2 could be the light novel version of "Dungeon Builder". The manga is already licensed.
It could also be "Let's Manage The Tower" which is really what I'm hoping for. That would be awesome!
-
@lighthawk96 I would be interested in either of those. I was considering that the hint may be the Dungeon Busters manga since JNC has started doing simulpub releases of manga.
-
@jpwong
That very well could be. But I've been hoping for "Let's Manage The Tower" and since the hint had "Let" in there I thought it could be possible. -
@lighthawk96 I forgot about “let’s manage the tower” I would be supper pumped of JNC licensed that!
-
@ellyonia
That would so make my day too. -
No hint of Bookworm spinoffs. I'm still hoping, though.

Maybe taking over Redefining the META at VRMMO Academy from Sol Press. If so, I wonder if any of the others are amongst those recently removed from the Sol Press listing.
-
Adding another suggestion for hint 6, assuming it's something related to VR - "Only Sense Online", a series that has 21 volumes out (or 24, when counting the Silver Goddess side story volumes), as of February. The only reason I'm putting it here, though, is because it's VR, and because I've been slowly working my way through the manga for the past week or so.
-
@shiny a Sol license rescue of 80,000 Gold would be awesome. I'd also say Strongest Gamer but MyAnimeList says it was canceled in Japan after the 2 volumes that Sol released.
-
Looks like Sam's secret second set of hints wasn't posted here. The trick with these is that they're in random order; he didn't link them to the first hints.
Just a terrible pun
God Said
Height Difference
What it says on the tin
4chan lingo
Anagram
They're lying to usThe discourse so far has us at this point:
Making a few assumptions about which guesses have been correct gives me this so far- Fast Demon King Immediacy + Anagram = Misfit Academy
- Let There Be Dungeons + God Said = D-Genesis
- They Flee First + On The Tin = 10 Years After I said "Go On Without Me" I Became a Legend
- Black Belt Chucky + Terrible Pun = Doll-Kara
- Sailor Moon relationship + height difference
- Facebook plan + 4chan lingo
- Dating in Japan + Lying
None of this has been confirmed obviously so still open to other explanations (though 1 and 2 seem like locks).
-
I feel 2 could be dungeon battle royale
-
@saffire Hm, couldn't the second one also be Maou-sama no Machizukuri! ? I know manga has been licensed, not sure about the LN.

The thought process is that the hint is specifically invoking the Book of Genesis.
-
Second one could still also be "Let's Manage the Tower".
-
@lighthawk96 I'm not sure I see how that connects.

let's go

@saffire Well the first 2 were right, let's see your run!
