Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
Seiken Tsukai no World Break is on second to last volume so I pray for it. Just give me moar Shizuno.
Also I don't think I'll read the Genius novel that are just licensed since it's not look like my thing. It is poorly received in NU too but then again the review in NU really is overblown most of the time.

New Hint on the announcement page.
Better Late Than Never
Inb4 it's Siskan V4 and 5.
Quof got a break.
WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?! -
@neoankara NU is too easily manipulated. I have found a fan-trans who treatened to drop one of the series if people didnt raise the ratings to a certain point. Why? He wanted more people to read it and join his patreon.
-
@jampodevral Well I know NU is rigged most of the time. And what you say is like app on Google Play where you can only unlock it's function after you give it 5 star.
Anyway the problem in NU is that most of the review seems to don't know what they are talking about and are just showing how "smart" they are.

... I'm ok with this!
-
I wonder when they're going to announce the other new novels, I remember reading that all 4 (now 5 with the new hint though) would be announced by the end of this month. There's a week left and only 1 hint has been revealed.
There are no releases listed for today 21 Feb 2018 so it's possible a new one will be revealed today, we shall see...
-
@terabyte I don't think end of Feb for all of them. I heard an average pace close to one a week, so end of Mar might be closer. I did hear that there should be one coming up within the next 7 days or so, but I'd consider that a rumour rather than a promise.

It was written in a reply on Curious Cat if I recall right. I can't find the exact link right now.
EDIT: and right after I replied I was able to find it. It was posted ~3 weeks ago near the start of February (when there were still only 4 hints) => https://curiouscat.me/jnovelclub/post/308466448

@terabyte There’s also this answer.

https://curiouscat.me/jnovelclub/post/325280693Yeah, so he wants to keep them to March at the latest... But I don't think anyone is going to hold one to these Curiosity Cat posts as gospel if licensing (or whatever that process is called) wasn't as speedy.

https://curiouscat.me/jnovelclub/post/325280693Oh, I hadn't seen that newer reply. Thanks for the link.

If one of them is an Overlap title, I'll guess Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha
You were right!
Also... The blonde bias continues!!! 3 Blondes on this cover!

Sidenote: It's crazy that of the Bunkos by Overlap, only 3 have reached a conclusion according to Bookwalker.
Rest in peace Isekai ni Tensei Shitandakedo Ore, Tensai tte Kanchigai Saretenai?
Holy Tolito, and this was your next post, you are prescient! What do you see next in your crystal ball?
-
@terrence lol, other guesses I failed at were stuff like that one about the werewolf general in the Demon Lord's army. Otherwise, my next serious guess was Mushoku Tensei so we'll see if that comes true. Otherwise, I have a bias towards Overlap titles since I stalk their blog for Arifureta news.
-
Can someone make sense of one of the hints that matched up with the Undead title (Hints set #2 are for this, right?)?
"Not Part of the Horizon Series"
The next one is the only one I may be able to correctly guess as Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita.
I'm going out on a limb on this one, but the hints point towards mummies. That'd be a cool pair of sort of gothic fantasy creatures oriented stuff, one serious (?) the other light-hearted... I think.
-
I look forward to you being right too. It's like a more light hearted version of Realist Hero I think.

Someone called Infinite Stratos at some point, right? I know people requested it.
-
Lmao, the return of Infinite Stratos. Oh lord.
-
Infinite Stratos is such a huge curve-ball. Better late than never indeed. Guess we'll have to wait more for Mushoku Tensei. At least we'll finally get to read what's next since the fantranslation has been dead for ages. We should be caught up in a little over a year.
-
IS seems like a pretty big deal still (the anime was marmite but popular and not too too long ago). I enjoyed it for what it was - dumb and trashy, but comfort food fun. No trope too trope-y! I’m actually quite excited to read and compare as this’ll be the first LN that ive seen the anime first.
