        Could it be retitled “The Ongoing Speculation Thread (current info held here parenthetically)”?

          New Hints

          LOL Random

          Help! I'm drowning!

          WRYYYYYYYYYYY

          A license "rescue"

          Might not make it in time for AX (sorry)

          Finally my String Theory background comes in handy

          You Asked for Snu-snu...

          They don't make them like they used to

          Highly requested

          Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

              So, A license "rescue", huh? I wonder which one...

              Btw, what was the meaning behind the RTFM hint for Slave Elf Bride?

                "How to" = Manual / Guide? Idk what the connection to the story was. I think I heard the title took some liberty too, so probably not easy to guess from that?

                  @terrence the fan translations version of the title was “but how do I love her?” So the idea is that I gave him the usual answer of rtfm. Assuming one came with her at the slave auction anyway.

                    Rescue in quotation marks... Curious.

                    Edit: I think this may not be a license rescue on Sam's part, but on a Japanese publisher's part. Someone hinted at one of the licenses being

                      @sam-pinansky Really glad you got both Elf Wife and Lazy DM. Started reading both the f-t's this month, though some of the grammatical errors in LDM made my brain boil.
                      I am very curious and equally worried about what the snu-snu hint means.

                        Any school romcoms among the new titles? I always enjoy them, so would love to see one.

                        Quof got a break.
                        WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?!

                          @crimson-wise Not in the 2 titles that we already know of. We still have 10 left and another 5 after AX, based on what Sam said. There might be one (or more?) in those 15 titles left...

                            @terabyte Also 2 of the remaining hints are single volume series’.

                              @terabyte I know, it was something more like a wish/request :P

                                @crimson-wise That's what the Licensing Suggestions! forum is for :P

                                Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                                  I hope Mushoku tensei is part of the anoucement. At least to of the hints ("You Asked for Snu-snu..." and "Highly requested") could corespond.

                                  Do you like death, war and misery ?
                                  Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
                                  Do you like vengeance story?
                                  If so then then vote for The girl who ate a death god

                                    @raitoiro Yea, but how hard is it to license from Media Factory? J-Novel hasn’t gotten any titles from them before.

                                      AX Announcement #4: A license "rescue"

                                      Now is will it be something that has already been licensed like Kinos' Journey or Aria the Scarlet Ammo or something else? Why is rescue in quotation marks?

                                        @legitpancake It may be hard, but anythink need a beginning. And parts of the LN are realeased as bonus with the english version of the manga, so the editor may be willing to export it, even in digital version.

                                        Do you like death, war and misery ?
                                        Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?

                                          "Highly requested" and "They don't make them like they used to"

                                          Maybe... Rakudai Kishi? it would be great.

                                          "Finally my String Theory background comes in handy"
                                          Hmm.... Growth Cheat?

                                            My guess for string theory is rather than science, it'll be sewing or knitting or something. (If they didn't already have Rokujyouma, I might think that. :)
