Seven Seas - April 2020 survey available!
-
I always suggest Shinigami no Ballad, lol. Even though I know it has no chance.

Now that we've finaly get Mushoku Tensei, it's time to push for Sevens ^^
-
My picks for light novels:
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu.@sinnoaria Honestly, I don't see anyone other than Seven Seas publishing that series (if by some miracle it actually happens). It's not what currently sells, so other companies aren't gonna give it the time of day. Seven Seas could do the rest of it simply to finish what they started. That's the only reason I see anyone touching Ballad for...

A friendly bump and reminder to do your Seven Seas survey submissions...
I haven't submitted mine yet. xC
Maybe I'll just go for some of the new Shin Dengeki label works or something for submissions. Unnamed Memory seems like the winner of the batch.

Do we know how Seven Seas uses the results?
I’ve decided to stop submitting stuff I’m interested in to them; their digital prices are too high (especially for manga). I’d rather Yen Press get a license despite the likely-slower translation. Just not sure if I’m better off doing nothing at all, or stuffing the box with licenses I don’t want. ;)

@hamsterexastris this is exactly how I feel
-
Would be nice if other companies put out surveys like Seven seas does. But I can't think of any so I'm just going to keep filling out there surveys. I think Vertical used to have forms you could fill out but I think they stopped doing them years ago.

Sol Press has a survey (if you don't mind the wait time potentially with their licenses...). You can submit multiple times. They ask for links to your book (Amazon sales links for LN + Manga; VNDB links for Visual Novels).

Bookwalker also has an area to submit licenses, and they did at one point ponder getting another LN license, but they haven't licensed any LN in too long for me to spend much time suggesting there.

(Those links have links to the surveys).

Until SOL Press properly gets their act together I'm not even gonna bother making requests to them. They'll just end up locking LN licenses if they can't reliably release them. One of their new LN licenses (VRMMO Academy) which is supposedly being already translated is not even listed on their site yet.
-
@hamsterexastris Well as for the way they use the Results I checked there FAQ page as that's where they said how they use it and apparently not all Series can be licensed for reasons like Creators Wishes, Past Performance etc. and I think I remember them saying this themselves when asked about submitting the same Series every month pretty much the closest we get to knowing how the results are used, as for digital prices has never really bothered me since I mostly prefer print when it comes to reading Light Novels.
-
There's certain licenses I think have very slim chances of ever getting licensed (especially in certain unpopular genre). Those are the ones I'll throw Sol Press and Bookwalker's way. You can't get too upset about them locking up something that was never coming stateside to begin with.
Single volume works are decent picks to throw their way as well.
