Acquisitions Speculation - General

I feel 2 could be dungeon battle royale

Crey

@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".

saffire

@lighthawk96 I'm not sure I see how that connects.

let's go

Windsagio

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

ShipTeaser

Well Misfit is a top tier licence so no complaints here

Windsagio

Is Vtuber legend 5 or 7? I could see either.

SERIES 1 HINT: Fast Demon King Immediacy
SAM'S EXTRA HINT: Anagram
SERIES: The Misfit of Demon King Academy
Solution: Fast and Immediacy are an anagram for Misfit and Academy

SERIES 2 HINT: And Let There Be Dungeons
SAM'S EXTRA HINT: God Said
SERIES: D-Genesis: Three Years after the Dungeons Appeared
Solution: Genesis 1:3 -> And God Said, Let There Be Light! - > Dungeon Genesis -> D-Genesis

SERIES 3 HINT: They Flee First
SAM'S EXTRA HINT: 4chan lingo
SERIES: VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral After Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream
Solution: They flee first > rat > rrat > 4chan. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ogey-rrat

SERIES 4 HINT: Black Belt Chucky
SAM'S EXTRA HINT: What is says on the tin
SERIES: Doll-Kara
Solution: Black belt = karate, Chucky = doll

SERIES 5 HINT: Like Sailor Moon's relationship but backwards
SAM'S EXTRA HINT: Height Difference
SERIES: Gushing over Magical Girls
Solution: Japanese title was "Looking Up to Magical Girls." Tuxedo Mask is always looking down at Sailor Moon, so the opposite is looking up.

SERIES 6 HINT: Facebook's Ultimate Plan
SAM'S EXTRA HINT: They're lying to us
SERIES: Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie
Solution: Fake news? Metaverse?

SERIES 7 HINT: Stories of dating in Japan
SAM'S EXTRA HINT: Just a terrible pun
SERIES: The Saga of Lioncourt
Solution: Dating in Japan is done via LINE. So... courting on LINE. LINEcourt --> Lioncourt

Hint 4 by Mys, rest by Sam

Crap is putting it lightly, the guy who translated it (the owner of the pub, even) clearly does not speak English well. The scripts are borderline nonsense. Google Translate would read better...

@tenome It might be best to avoid responding to a comment nearly a hundred pages previous in a forum thread...

Tributo

is there any news on this Novel?

I Won 4 Billion in a Lottery But I Went to Another World.

This is definitely not a good thread to ask that in.

Kirito

I have not kept up with Jnovel's twitch streams about their acquisitions and translations for Light Novels. Is there any news about Jnovel releasing Chivalry of a Failed Knight since Sol Press is defunct?

@Kirito The only announced Sol Press rescue licenses are the ones announced here: https://forums.j-novel.club/post/215059

Lily Garden

So...what are people hoping for in today new license livestream?

GeorgeMTO

@Lily-Garden not enough unlicensed material that I'm personally aware of, so I'm just hoping for some spinoffs, mostly:

Infinite Dendrogram Crow Record - spin off manga following the top ranking female duelists in the Kingdom of Altar.

Outfitter Lucia Won't Give Up - spin off novel (also has a manga) from Dahlia in Bloom following one of her friends. The world definitely seems to support a whole bunch of stories being told, and we really don't need to slow down Dahlia's romance any more than its current pace to explore that :P

jpwong

@Lily-Garden Hopes? Well I'd like JNC to suddenly announce they're picking up the one Alphapolis title I really want, but that's not realistic, so there's a Earth Star slow life title about an elf I wouldn't mind reading. Otherwise late start tamer's manga seems like it would be nice.

As long as this doesn't end up being the first livestream announcement where there are no titles at all that interest me I'll at least be satisfied.

morbelek

I'm hoping they get the license for Meshimazu Musou Online ~Enjoy a heaping debuff~. It's a manga adaption of a web novel written by Supana Onikage, the author of Lazy Dungeon Master. The first manga volume was released in February 2022.

Basically imagine if Asuna was in Sword Art Online and had a cooking skill at level negative 1000 and then accidentally weaponized it.
