      Is there a release schedule available anywhere? I'm particularly interested in how often new volumes for In Another World With My Smartphone will be released, as I've found myself enjoying the duet narration way more than I thought I would.

      Edit: I just noticed that the Tantor Media series pages have entries for future volumes. It's just Podium Audio that doesn't, though I don't know if that's because the release dates for future volumes haven't been set, or if it's just how they do things.

        Hello,

        For something like that (or anything to do with releases from our partners) it would be best to ask our Audiobook partner (in this case podium).

        Looking at their site they do not list future releases, not sure if that is how they do it, but it does line up with CIW's podium releases.

        Edit: we both looked at the same time

          @WaterDweller While aware you and Rahul have both noticed a lack of answer as to when v2 (and further out) is coming, a reddit post I linked in discord in the discussion that prompted this post has a user who is trying to track LN audiobook releases, so might help in the future rather than trying to do searching for multiple series in the future.

            @GeorgeMTO That's awesome! Hopefully that user will keep posting new updates regularly.

            That list seems to confirm that Podium Audio don't announce release dates very far in advance. I guess it'll become easier to estimate roughly when new Smartphone volumes are going to be released once the second volume is listed, assuming they intend to release them with relative regularity.

            I went to Podium's website to look for ways of contacting them, but it seems they don't accept such inquiries by email ("Business and press inquiries only"), and I'm not that keen on creating a social media account just to ping them on Twitter/Instagram/what have you, so for now, I'll just wait patiently.

              Just thought I'd mention, Podium Audio has added an entry for the second volume of Smartphone some time in the last 17 hours, with a release date of July 4. So, only a month and a few days between releases, though whether that'll be their pace going forward remains to be seen.

              With the first volume having just been released, I guess I can tentatively take this as a sign that they're adding entries for each upcoming volume shortly after the previous volume has been released.

                I have updated the opening post. I have also added a last updated line to the topic title. So you can spot check when it was last updated.

                    Hello,

                    There is no set date for the start of V14 pre-publication.

                    For a general overview of how new volume starts are handled, please see the roll topic:

                    https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/3478/future-volume-release-schedule/1

                    Thank you

                    P.S. Sid you mean to post this here in the audiobook topic? Instant death is not being released in audiobook format.

                        Hello,

                        No official date yet, but I will say things are moving forward.

                          Any update on when Slayers 2 might drop on Audible? Looks like it's available elsewhere.

                            Hello,

                            Unfortunatley it is still being processed by Audible. They have the file and we are also waiting on them.

                                  Is the Ascendance of a Bookworm audiobook available as a drm-free download anywhere? I really want to buy it but only if that means I actually own my copy.

                                    I checked and didn't find it on Downpour, Libro FM or Audiobooks Now so it doesn't look like it's currently available DRM free.

                                    Stay shiny, y'all.

                                        Is there a place to find a maintained list of available audio books?

                                        Or a brand where I can look for released books?

                                          Are there any plans on continuing the audiobook for How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom? It was releasing pretty regularly before, but it stopped at volume 16 with no news on volume 17.
