Also, LNDB is outdated. There are 5 volumes out for it, the last one came out around 2 months ago, on 1st September.
===
EDIT: I might give these 2 new LNs of theirs a try once they're out. Is there a release date yet? I didn't even look at the other 2 previous ones since I refuse to pick up abandoned series as a rule.

@terabyte
Would not be the first time LNDB is behind, but I still think its good enough.In regards to battle divas, maybe the author is just taking his sweet time? Wouldnt be the first one to write slowly, or maybe its finished? Checked LNDB for it again and says it has 4 volumes out so who knows (I knew of 3). But honestly it would be weird for them to license it after 3 years if it was dropped. But then again everything is possible.
In regards to print releases for the new ones, I'm pretty sure they are going to treat them the same as their first 2 light novels. Firstly put them out digitally and if they sell enough put them in print. I think it took them a couple of months to sell enough to print Battle Divas.
EDIT: read your comment wrong, so far I know they said nothing about release dates.
EDIT 2: From reddit, apparently the second volumes of "Strongest Gamer" and "Battle Divas" were announced for a december release.
-
There will be more announcements at the 18+ panel tonight for Sol Press.
-
@happy LNDB does indeed say 4 volumes, but even the official website (linked in the same page) lists only 3 volumes. I'm not finding any news of V4 being out or coming out soon. The last release date being June 25, 2016 is enough for me to think of it as abandoned; at least for now. If a new volume really does come out, I'll consider it again then :)

@terrence
Sadly, I think its only visual novels. -

@terrence
Sadly, I think its only visual novels.I'm actually ok with that (we know that at least Battle Divas will have a trailer tonight though).
I have dumb hopes and wishes, but expecting some interesting VN stuff I've never heard of that I'll still be hype for.

Edit: You're talking about Battle Divas? Nvm. T_T
At least the VRMMO school one is ongoing. And the other new announcement is a brand new #1.

Their VN announcements are actually pretty good: I've heard nice things about Mirai Radio, Itorodori is a quite popular series and Nukitashi is praised by almost everyone who doesn't shy away from the sexual humor.

There are "hints" for 5 manga and 5 LNs (with 3 confirmed, 2 unconfirmed yet) up, though the hints are extremely by the numbers this time.
You can't spell Keikaku without Kei – Vote for Sagrada Reset!

@jaquobus
Hope we close some suggestions topics then (Hopefully, some romcom for a change like Gamers or Netgame no Yome wa Onna no Ko ja nai to Omotta?)Sam said on Curious Cat that he will announce new physical stuff in Dec tho <Hope they ain't included in those 5>
-
I wouldn’t call them hints, it’s more of an acknowledgement of existence really.
-
Well, I'm pretty sure at least one of those titles will be from Fujimi Shobo, since Sam had a meeting with them a while back.
-
@jaquobus He just prepped the page, the hints will come later.
-
Wow, 5 & 5. I was expecting more manga and maybe a couple of LNs. Glad I was wrong. Now to wait for the hints... though I guess it won't be long either way since Sam mentioned the manga are coming out mid November.
-
You know I feel like we are all very lucky right now, even 4-5 years ago the idea that we could get to read so many LN beyond mostly poorly translated fan stuff would be crazy. Just from J novel club alone we will have gotten more than 20 new translated series or stand alones in just 2018, that’s crazy stuff.
I guess I’m just really glad to be able to legally access the medium I love so much is what I’m trying to say.

I know what you mean. The memory of Yen Press discarding the original covers for Spice & Wolf in favor of westernized ones seems a distant memory at this point...
-
@korppi Sometime the westernize cover can be better, the new cover for the french edition of goblin slayer look way cooler than the jap one
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 -
So we can sort when searching through the catalog between Manga or Novel now, and Most recent, least recent, along with the old A-Z, Z-A.
Of course, nothing listed under manga yet.
