        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...

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

                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?

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

                      @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

                        @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.

                          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.

                            I don't follow WNs or fan translations so I'm out of touch with unlicenced novels.

                            The only license I'm specifically looking forward to would be Bookworm (fanbook 3 and the next side stories and audio dramas).

                            I'm also generally aware that authors of existing JNC LNs have other works which have yet to be licenced for an English translation, some of which have been mentioned in epilogues. I'd be more likely to check out a new series from an author I already enjoy so that would also be fun.

                            Stay shiny, y'all.

                              Y’all know my wishlist,

                              is there anything you guys are hoping will be in the new batch?

                                Bookworm Drama CD Transcript Collection, so we can at least read them.

                                My grasp on sanity remains absolute.

                                Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

                                  I don't know what's available, but I can hope for something I'll enjoy reading, on topics I wouldn't mind thinking about more.

                                  Like, a buddy comedy about gardening robots, or a slice-of-life series from the point of view of a music composer that delves into their creative process, or a technology-appreciation series about the marvels of hydraulic pumping stations and canals or a mystery series that focuses on tracing where items found in geocaches came from using spectrometers and other high tech equipment and psychic powers.

                                      @Lily-Garden I think you know my wishlist. Well, I added the manga of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor to it now, too.
                                      But I also know my luck...

                                      @myskaros Hmm, I definitely would love to have more manga adaptions of certain light novels, but overall we definitely need more manga.
