      @terrence The "not part of the Nasuverse" hint ended up being for Yume Nikki.
      It was a reference to a minigame in it where you collect eggplants.

      You wut? Ha ha. Can you explain the Nasuverse connection there. xD

      I got nothing then. It could be anything, as random as a short story or minigame video game reference. Maybe it's"Not part of Horizon: Zero Dawn Universe" and not "Not part of the Horizons in the Middle of Nowhere series"? =P

                The way it was worded, I think it means a series that is already complete and has only 3 volumes: https://curiouscat.me/jnovelclub/post/322764398

                The one you linked is still ongoing instead. I might be wrong though.

                  Yea, I was half-joking since Isekai Tensei is kind of a stalled series in Japan without a release since 2016.

                    I gotta check my Bookwalker lists to see if there's any good 3 volume series.

                    I assume 86 is ongoing, but that's 3 volumes iirc.

                    There's a few Mecha that are 3 volumes.

                    Edit: Did I hear that Genji of the Kendo series mentioned before as a request? I guess that's possible since it has 3. Well, we'll see soon enough, so I probably won't make a master list of predictions. =P

                      Lol, looks like it was licensed. https://j-novel.club/c/me-a-genius-i-was-reborn-into-another-world-and-i-think-they-ve-got-the-wrong-idea-volume-1-part-1

                        Lol, I guess I won't be picking it up anytime soon. It seems interesting but I don't like picking up novels that are not complete or updated (relatively) constantly. Almost 2 years since the last release is a bit too much for me :(

                          I'll probably get it cause I want to read the series and support the author. (Perhaps encourage him to write more.)

                            @terabyte It's episodic without an overarching plot. The 3rd LN is the final one for all intents and purposes.

                              Oh, so it isn't really still "ongoing" as listed on https://j-novel.club/forum-link-removed? I might pick it up in that case, thought I'll probably wait until all 3 volumes are translated. I have enough novels in my queue to read right now anyway eheh

                                New Hint on the announcement page.

                                I'm already guessing Mushoku Tensei finally being licensed.

                                      @yankee Mushoku Tensei was by far the most requested license on our survey, so... I'm just letting you know you are likely far in the minority here.

                                      Well actually it's so popular maybe it also has the largest number of haters of any series too. So perhaps you're in the majority minority.

                                        @aruseus493 Never read that one, but it seems like a good bet as Seven Seas has the manga. I’ve heard mixed things about it but I’ve also heard it’s extremely popular, so I’d be interested in it. If that’s not what the hint was referring to, I can’t think of anything better.

                                          It's the Isekai SAO in popularity.

                                            Beware: This may or may not (totally will) contain Canadien Propaganda and passive-aggressively attack Americans if you are an American that is Easily offended (aka stereotypical Americans) or an American that has not learned the great Canadien way of self-deprecating humour this post is not for you. all this is caused because I have tendencies to ramble off topic.

                                            If I were to only need one reason to read "Me a Genius?" it would be that there is a Canadien. This will be another Big win for Canada, but do we really need another win over The U S of A (forget that Haruhi shipped a psychopathic Robor Alien and Justine Beiber we have Deadpool, Wolverine, the makers of Superman, and don't forget Poutine and so so much more). I would love it if the Canadien Girl was really skilled at being Passive-Aggressive yet be truly polite (or seem polite). It is much more satisfying to just poke at a person's most fragile weakness with a needle then shout at the person. Shouting might make kids or make the other person shout back but we can have casual talks while bringing someone down (hehehehehhe). the best thing is when you bring up either your self or someone else (usually someone you do not want to get mad at you) while bringing down someone else. I constantly bring down Yen-On while Bringing up JNC in the same sentence, Sam has also done this sometimes (which is awesome especially since everything he says is true).
