#5: Finally a female protagonist! / Now without the annoying fairy / Not Actually A Tensei**
Megami? Any good series with that in the name?
-
@_08 Female protagonist, without an annoying fairy? (Could it still be a fairy? Just not an annoying one?), and Not actually a Tensei (Takes place likely in another world, but there isn't reincarnation or summoning. Interesting.).

@aratashikun I feel like it's 魔術破りのリベンジ・マギア somehow, but I have no idea on how the lack of a fairy is related.
It probably could end up being it. Being that HJ Bunko promoted the series on many sources, of course.
-
@student-no-0 I'd be a bit sceptical, as it was stated on reddit that all 3 remaining series were from the 2 new publishers.
-
Man, sorry for being slow had to go to /r/lightnovels to see that there were new hints!
-
@student-no-0 The latest one: https://www.reddit.com/r/LightNovels/comments/74fylf/jnovel_club_license_hints_updated/

No 5 might be... "First thing I think about after reincarnating: For now, get naked."
-
"Not actually tensei" I see what you did there
oh well, back to binging rokujouma. -
I wonder if capitalization in the latest hints is a hint as well.
@artemis1990 I don't think "new publisher" is going to be "actually, that's an individual author, not a publishing company."
-
So any idea when the next LN will have its announcement? :3
"I drowned a fish, killed a dead tree and made medicine sick"
-
@imilyaz I'm betting Monday
-
@imilyaz Sam confirmed to us that the next announcements contracts are under review by the publishers lawyers.
So it might take a while or not, depending on how long it will take to review the contracts for the next titles.
Should be relatively soon or maybe not.
-
@fezu shit seems like a big deal
I thought the publisher and Sam just usually have a small chat over a cup tea, then the conversation ends with a handshake and a small contract for them to sign 😅
But then again, I don't know shit about business ^.^
-
@fezu I believe the most recent info is that 2 of the titles are under lawyer review and 1 is ready to be announced soon (I thought "in about a week" was given at some point in the past week).
-
@hatguy12 Ah right there was that 3rd title too, yeah. Hopefully it is coming soonish. I am excited to see the full lineup!

That would be an awesome one, and it's actually complete now.

@sirpaper I hope.

There are so many awesome LNs and not enough translations :(. One day I'll learn to read Japanese! I hope.

Anyone ever tried used Machine translation on an LN (specifically the Google Translate photo mode on a cell phone)? How bad is it? I feel like I need to experiment. Playing my way through Monster Hunter XX with it, which is tedious, but doable. xC
Don't worry, I know Google isn't replicating anything close to actual translation quality and is still a mess with complex sentences. No one will lose their job to bots. =P
