That's a lot of updates on a Friday. Right when I was about to go for a 5hour drive.

JNC got some good titles again this round.

Which ones stand out? I'm not familiar with these.

@Hylebos
These are the ones that I'm sure to buy since I've read the Fan translations.

This has the same author as Realist Hero, another good series in JNC, so I'm interested on what the story is about. Plus JNC has a lack or RomCons so it's always good to have those.

Yashiro-kun's Guide to Going Solo

These 3 seems seems interesting enough that I'll see if it's worth it after reading the first 2-3 volumes.

Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Trusted Companions Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to the Gift of an Unlimited Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out For Revenge on My Former Party Members and the World
The Conqueror from a Dying Kingdom
Re:RE — Reincarnator Executioner

As for the rest, I'll read at least the first volume to see if they are good.

@BartzBB Some interesting works in there, and some that I can already tell I'll try but hate.

I just noticed that 1 series is missing in the updated calendar.

Based from a post in reddit, JNC also did a rescue on a Sol Press title.

The rescue is Why Shouldn't a Detestable Demon Lord Fall in Love?!.

Lots of isekai and fantasy rpg worlds in the list. Deaths daughter and the ebony blade looks fun and Yuri Tama looks like an amusing yuri romcom.

@BartzBB I like that rescue!

It was pretty inconsistent in quality, but also more than fun enough to buy.

There are quite a few other license rescues as well like Strongest Gamer, these were stated at the panel that they will begin prepub later at an unspecified date.

@sniper_samurai
That's nice but it's kinda sad that they didn't rescue the 2 popular titles from Sol Press. 80k Gold and Rakudai.

Ran

@jpwong Oh dang! I assumed it would be capped or I could have been fashionably late.

Seventh, eh? Nice to get a series with a realistic harem... 😁

BartzBB

I just checked the list of LNs that Sol Press licensed and confirmed that JNC rescued all except 80k and Rakudai.

Hopefully they also rescued those 2 and just didn't announce it for this round.

Crimson Wise

Wasn't aware that Redefining the META was from Hero-King's author. Will give a try once it's in prepub.

Sol Press rescues aside, I think I'll be reading at least 5 of the licenses, so a pretty good batch for me.

Thanks for the series!

Eleore

I can't believe they licensed Formerly, the Fallen Daughter of a Duke! I have had it on my radar for a while now, so this is quite the pleasant surprise.

~~Still waiting for The Twelve Kingdoms ;-;~~

Windsagio

@sniper_samurai I didn't know there were more volumes of Strongest gamer to even rescue! That's kinda exciting.
