Expiring Volumes (Light Novels)
-
Volumes are available to read for members while they're being translated. After the book is fully released and available for purchase, they expire shortly thereafter and can only be read if you buy it or wait for the series to go on catchup. Expirations are manually processed on or after the 15th of every month (US time). This post lists the most recently expired batch of volumes, as well as the next 2 months worth of expiring volumes; it is updated every month on the 15th as well.

Super helpful.
I like having deadlines, so now I'll probably get into reading these more.
Edit: Paying to Win 3, SisKan 3, and Saved Too Many Girls 3 (Little Apocalypse 3) on the docket this week.
-
Juust to make sure they will just expire for reading and not purchasing right?
-
@Fezu Just prepubs, as it was stated in the prequel.
-
Are we going to have a summer catchup where all the volumes become available?
-
@TooFiveFive I like to do those when we have something to celebrate.
-
July titles have now been expired! Next time probably less grace period.
-
@sam-pinansky would've been nice if smart phone was posted with final at the end on the release calendar I missed it cause I usually look for the word Final since I wait for the final part to be out before reading...
For volume 2 it would say part 6 final but apparently for volume 3 it just said part 6 only, that's really inconsistent.
-
@rayuh-shen Ah, sorry about that. I usually put FINAL for the last parts, yeah, but I must have missed that one.
-
Is this list going to be updated for October 15 just trying to keep track.
-
I'm bumpity, bump, bumping this so I can remember to check it later for what to read next.
-
@sam-pinansky Is this topic going to be updated?

Just these left, but dunno if I'll tackle them. Maybe Dendogram if I run through volume 1.
Actually, think I might focus on a physical book or two. xC
-
@terrence what you haven't read Infinite yet!? Well... what are you waiting for go read it's! XD I must admit it's awesome series and I feel like it's one of those that is aiming for the top 3 spots in JNC. I have until November to read secondus so I think I'm in a good spot. Caught up with Grimgar pulling an all nighter as from part 2-7 level 6 had me dying to know what happens next.

I'm waiting until I get home from vacation to have Alexa read volume 1 to me (dang Kindle app on my cell has no text to speech option). xC
I actually got partway through it (up to the end of the first quest), but the prepub expired.
-
@terrence got my braces today so I'm using up my vacation time this week cuz I'm going to punch costumers If I go to work lmao 😂. But unfortunately I have a lot of projects due this week and probably every week until the end of December.

Expiring December 15th:
Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash: Volume 6(some of the action was tough to follow, so I may go back and re-read)Paying to Win in a VRMMO: Volume 5- Demon King Daimaou: Volume 3
My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World: Volume 6- How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom: Volume 4
I gotta start reading these at least... The rest I'm at least one volume behind on. I think I'll put Yume Nikki to the side for a bit.
Edit: 2 down, 3 to go. Working on Grimgar now.
I'll focus on these for January.
Expiring January 15th:
- How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord: Volume 1
- Mixed Bathing in Another Dimension: Volume 5
- Walking My Second Path in Life: Volume 1
Getting pretty close to caught up on some series. I know we got 3 new series recently, and two new single novels, but hoping we get something early 2018 to pad the lineup when Neechu and Paying to Win end and Realist and Paladin catch up.
