Sol Press Discussion Thread

@rahul-balaggan said in New Challenger Approaches! Sol Press Shines Down with Two LN Licenses:
The V1 physicals they put out we’re nothing short of atrocious, I contacted them on twitter and sent them a very long list of issues, and I seriously hope they address some of them with future volumes.
There Volume 1 physicals were on par with Tokyopop, in this day and age that does not cut it, I would buy the digital but in my opinion their digital volumes are far too overpriced, I mean I got both volume 1s for about $11 each and the digital editions are $10 each.
They need to provide advance copies to @Terabyte , problem solved ;-)
(To explain the joke and ruin it, @Terabyte reads almost every prepub here and provides more [very helpful] proofreading feedback than the rest of us combined :) )

I did pick up Strongest Gamer 2. The first volume was decent and it’ll be finished in just two volumes. I also want to support them and hope they do get it turned around as more quality publishers is always a good thing (said all the while praying under my breath that they don’t fuck up 80k, the one I really care about).
I'm already kind of iffy about their 80k manga release. I'm not holding out much hope for their LN release.
Yeah, Terabyte works fast enough (since I hate reading part by part anyways) that there really isn't any point of me saying anything since Terabyte will have already reported most of what I have to say and others will generally fill in any gaps there.
I think I only bothered once since I realized this when an issue annoyed me enough to bother mentioning.
-
They’ve announced Battle Divas 3 will release in May, so it looks like they are getting better at assembly lining out releases which is a good sign!
-
@the-green-death Considering last time they announced a delay was like the day of a supposed release, I have zero faith in their website's release dates.
-
Isn't it already listed on Amazon? They won't be able to do any more pre-orders on Amazon for a time if they delay it.
-
@terrence that is only if they are using KDP, and since they already delayed a book and are still able to do pre-orders I assume they are not using KDP.
That being said I also have 0 faith in them
-
80k Gold is actually out. I've downloaded the sample and I'm reading it. It seems to read well for now.
EDIT: Okay, I'm going in.
-
Not on Google Books yet. =[

@nosgoroth Let us know how it goes 😜

@Terabyte I hope you weren’t holding your breathe
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@rahul-balaggan ......
Error with Amazon my ass, I can’t think of how Amazon could have ever had pre-release scripts.
That said, though, for now I've only noticed a typo (a missing word), it's been otherwise fine. For now.
-
@nosgoroth I mean, JNC has had releases that weren't even the full book (just the preview part), so i can believe it's an issue related to Amazon.
That doesn't mean it's not someone's at Sol fault that they used Amazon wrong or didn't upload the final draft with enough time before the release date.

@rahul-balaggan 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Oh well, at least that tweet reminded me that VRMMO Academy is coming out today, too. Either way I planned on waiting a few days before making a purchase. Let's hope it doesn't take another month to fix the problem.
-
@terabyte I am sure it will be fixed by next week, that being said I won’t be buying them till they go down to at least $8, and if they never do then I won’t ever be reading them...
-
If an error like this happens after you buy a book, does your download get fixed once the problem is solved?
-
@artistofmanga yes, I have found that the majority of the time I have to manually update the copy on amazon’s website.
You can do that by going into your account and going into the content and devices section.
Or you can contact via chat function and they can manually update it for you.
-
On the bright side, 80K hasn't suddenly been delayed by 9 months because reasons, so I'll actually get to read it soon instead of next year.
-
This is the same problem they had with Strongest Gamer v1, apparently accidentally published a pre-release test copy. It took them nearly a month to fix it that time, IIRC.
If I'm remembering right, they've now published 6 light novel volumes, and have had this same problem with 3 of them.
-
I know people don't have much faith in Sol press right now, but I still want to support them since I've enjoyed the books they have put out so far.
