      From what I gather, Qidan just rips fan translations from Wuxia World, though they're in process of recruiting Wuxia World's translators and bringing over their series.

      They're currently in legal dispute with them as well.

      Personally I wouldn't read stuff on Qidan. They seem really scummy, aiming for an eventual paywall and LOL I ain't paying for fan translations.

        You aren't buying Invaders of the Rokujyoma? Granted it's getting edited.

            Hey, I have one more question if you don't mind.

            How old is Luck developmentally?

            I'm curious if Luck x Eve Genoard could be a thing in the future, but don't spoil it. Luck being single was something brought up in the volume

              @terrence No worries. :slight_smile:

              Going by the manga, Luck is the same age as Firo so he's physically 18 and actually 21-22 in volume 4. I assume Claire is the same age as them as well.

              My thoughts on Luck x Eve - no spoilers as I don't know the answer, haha:

                A lot of light novels released yesterday. Anyone get any?

                I got:

                Part Timer 8 (2.99 after a Google Books 5 off promo).

                Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers 2 (3.50 after a 5 off credit from a cancelled free Amazon Echo Dot).

                I'm making out like a bandit.

                Also got Slime Reincarnation (which I think I messed up and got the manga) and Goblin Slayer 3 on their way.

                  Yep, the light novel won't be out until December.

                  Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                      What am I reading? I'm reading Sword Art Online in paper format, Devil is a Part-Timer! and In Another World With My Smart Phone in ebook format. (Smartphone was being purchased from Amazon, but will be purchased as a premium Ebook from here starting with volume 5. Debating whether to start reading Infinate Dendrogram or Demon King Diamaou. Suggestions appreciated.

                        @terrence quick question for part timer, what volume did the anime end on? I'm feeling really lazy and don't feel like reading it from the start, I loved the anime and I'm actually looking forward to buying this LN if it continued after the anime that is.

                          Depends what you're after really! If you think you've got your fill of VRMMO settings with SAO or want to read something full of fanservice then pick Demon King Daimaou. Otherwise, my recommendation would be Infinite Dendrogram as I feel it is the stronger story.

                            Volume 3! I was lazy too, so I just started from there.

                            The only thing of note from the previous volumes that isn't in the show is (Devil is a Part-Timer Volume 2 spoiler):

                                  @hyferzftw Part-Timer runs thru the end of volume 2, with one side story from volume 7 and one episode that appears to be OVA.

                                    @raddevlin That is sort of the line of thought I'm following as well. With 9 (possibly more) volumes of SAO remaining, I don't know if I want to start another VRMMORPG series. From reading part 1 of volume 1 of Diamaou, the fan service seems to be mostly in the anime. I could be wrong though.

                                      @whoisfriend As of right now, I'm trying to complete Grimgar Of Fantasy and Ash. After I finish, I might look into Clockwork Planet since it looks cool and the author also made No Game No Life.

                                        I picked up Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers Volume 2.

                                        (Spoilers up through page 90)

                                        spoiler

                                        Alright, enough theorizing about the midway point through to the end. I'm taking my time with this one so far. =]

                                          @terrence I liked the anime but forgot it had a LN, I'm probably going to buy the LN and start from the beginning if things are different from the anime.

                                            Things aren't that different in volume 1. The only really neat thing is you get to hear the Seventh Brave's thoughts occasionally.

                                            Pacing is a bit quicker too I think.

                                            Volume 2 starts a whole new chapter not in the anime.
