Ascendance of a bookworm audiobook
-
Posting here to see what the status of the next audiobook is for ascendance of a bookworm (part 2 volume 1). Since the previous audiobook came out 7 months ago and there hasn’t been an update, I am wondering if this project is canceled?

@Mcetlin999999 I am also wonderingwhy is now. March 2026, is nearly over and we have no notice of the audiobook series continuation!
even worse!, Global bookwalker had only vols 1 & 2 of Part one listed.
Are J-NC series not that profitable in Audiobook format?
the longest ones I saw are; My daughter leave the nest, with 11 vols.
By the grace of the goods with 10 (or so) realistic hero rebuild the kingdom with 15
even Slayers! stopped at Vol. 3 out of 18Mangawa kikenjanai, kedo mugakowa! >_<

The english language audiobook of bookworm is narrated by the english language VA of Myne/Rozemyne in the anime, so is it possible that the delay in audiobook production is due to her working on the upcoming season of the bookworm anime?

Eukun - There are three (3) JNC audiobooks currently available for Bookworm:
Part 1 - Daughter of a Soldier: Vol 1, 2, & 3. I got all three of mine on Google Play over a year ago. So if you only have Vol 1 & 2 ask Global Bookwalker if they have it or can get it for you.Also, I think b.scot.morgan's comments make sense on what's delayed new volumes. Just a reminder, season 4 of the Bookworm anime (Daughter of an Archduke) is scheduled to start April 4th of this year on C-R.

@b-scot-morgan Thanks for the input on what could be delaying new Bookworm audiobooks. I hadn't considered that the English VA's participation in the new season 4 anime might be the cause.

Libro.fm and AudiobooksNow.com only have Pt 1 Vols 1 & 2 as well. I have been asking both of them about getting Pt 1 Vol 3 for the last year and they both tell me that the distributor is having issues distributing Pt 1 Vol 3 and that they are working on a solution. I keep following up every month or so but there is no news. I wonder if it has something to do with the DRM free nature of these websites, since the only sites that seem to have it use DRM (Google & Audible).
Can anyone from J-Novel Club confirm if DRM is the issue, or could someone poke the distributer to see if they can fix the distribution problem?

even Slayers! stopped at Vol. 3 out of 18I'm really bummed that "By the Grace of the Gods" stopped at Vol 10, I really want more! There is at least one title that seems to be on going "The Great Cleric" has 10 volumes on audiobook with volume 11 coming out soon. But I too would like to see more J-NC titles on audiobook.
It's difficult to find what J-NC titles are available on audiobook since the publishers are scattered (Tantor Media, Dreamscape Lore, PublishDrive, ect). Is there a list of J-NC audiobooks anywhere? YenPress and SevenSeas make it easy to see what audiobooks are available, could J-NC do something like what they do and create a page with the titles and link to the publisher and/or list the sites that they are available on?
