      @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.

          Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

              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.

                  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.

                                        Is there any plans on making “how not summon a demon lord” into an audiobook because both my fiancé and me would so enjoy it because we’re big otaku’s and we read via audiobooks because of our day-to-day lives, make a little more convenient for reading that way, but other than that, it would be very much appreciated. I am pretty sure there would be a lot more people who would love if “how not to summon a demon lord” into an audiobook specifically available with Audible

                                          I am having mixed feelings about audiobooks of light novels.

                                          On the one hand I love that my favourite series get more accessible, even more audience. On the other hand I was so dissapointed by the audiobook adaption of Realist Hero, that I have been convinced I can do better without.

                                          Though as I can see it at the moment JNC only released three titles, while Realist Hero was managed by Tantor and a lot of others by Seven Seas or Yen aka your other usual suspects.

                                          Sorry for my bad English - it is not my native language

                                          I like it as much as Realist Hero ♡

                                            Black Summoner

                                            At My UK Account on (rakuten "Kobo") ...

                                            I had only available (that I'm following);
                                            Ascendance of a Bookworm Audiobooks 1 to 3
                                            Arifureta 1 & 2 ONLY,
                                            Slayers 1 to 3

                                            (those I've able to "purchase" by Audiobook points subscription ...

                                            But I can not do it with
                                            How a realistic hero ... 2 to 16 (while I did with Vol. 1.

                                            I have to say that their filters are a bit messy, and some titles in a collection don't appear in "that" collection sometimes, but...
                                            That might affect my ability to find the sequel volumes there ??

                                            Or is there any contract issue that made not selling anymore on Kobo for JNC Titles?

                                            Thanks. 🙏
