      I'm wondering if there's a main thread that updates us on these kinds of status.
      Wanting to know what the deal with Oversummoned is as it's coming up to two years since the last volume.

        No such general purpose thread exists but there are tips on how to assess status and discussions of this issue.

        Generally speaking Japanese publishers never publicly announce a series has been cancelled they just stop announcing new volumes. However you can look up a series to see if new volumes have been published or announced in Japan. In some cases fans may have designated a series as on hiatus or dropped but those are typically informed guesses rather than anything official.

        For a given series you can search the forum and Twitter to see if people know anything and ask a series specific question if necessary. A good place can often be the volume discussion thread for the last translated volume. For example https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/6005/oversummoned-vol-2-discussion/62?page=4 has discussion for Oversummoned. Sometimes series on JNC are marked as completed.
