Sol Press Discussion Thread

@Jon-Mitchell
Is there even a point for publishing JP to CN translations?
From my understanding there are already a lot of Chinese Publishers that do a JP to CN translation of any VN/LN material.

Do they want to enter the Chinese market now even though there are already a lot of them compared to the English speaking market wherein they themselves are failing to produce results?

Do mine eyes tell me lies? A new Sol Press volume 2?

@GodsGoldenPubes Oh, it's the same one from a week ago. I got my hopes up. I shouldn't get my hopes up.

LegitPancake

@GodsGoldenPubes Scroll up a bit, I believe we already discussed that one a couple weeks ago.

Nosgoroth

Now that the JNC stream is over: Rakudai 4 is dated for July 6th.

Terrence

Taking their previous responses at face value that the JP side "allowed" them to release it, so we can look forward to them working together to release more beyond 4 hopefully.

So now we just wait for...?

80K V2 (Manga and LN?)
Busy Wizard 2 (if that's a thing?)
Harem Royale 2

Just got email from SOL shop

Hey everyone! We've updated the ePub file for Chivalry of a Failed Knight Vol. 1. Please redownload the file to get the most up-to-date version of this book. Thank you!

From what I can see, they updated images to higher resolution: 2200/1100х1700 for color, 1100х1700 for b&w.

@Rahul-Balaggan You've got the cover for the second tweet wrong (Volume 2's cover instead of 3) 😋

I'm glad to see more volumes come out so quickly (finally!) but still nothing for 80k Gold... :(

HarmlessDave

@Rahul-Balaggan :: shock :: those are quick follow-ups. Demon Lord 1-2 were fun, a little like JNC's Elf Bride though the characters are less awkward when it comes to romance.

However, next Friday we'll be at 14 months of waiting for 80,000 Gold 2.

:shocked pikachu face:

I have to admit, though, I'd be a lot more impressed if they were doing this for 80k Gold too.

the green death

@Nosgoroth me too, though I suspect now the delay on 80k has to do with publishing it is tied to physical editions needing to be available

@HarmlessDave

Yeah they have also been adding volume one of 80,000 Gold to Ibooks "soon" for those entire 14 months.

@GodsGoldenPubes
Yes. The have been trying to amp up their LN releases.

LegitPancake

@lighthawk96 You’re responding to a two month old comment.

lighthawk96

@LegitPancake
Lol! Yup! Guess I did. But give me a break. I had just woken up when I did that.😁😋

But it got people commenting again so it's not all bad I guess.

HarmlessDave

@LegitPancake - it's Sol Press, a two month wait is nothing ;)

They've stopped even mentioning 80,000 Gold in blog posts, so maybe we'll get volume 2 in 2021?

Chivalry is finally on volume 4...yeh....but no printed editions yet of any volumes...booo

Rahul Balaggan

@stardf29 said in I'll Never Set Foot in That House Again! Vol. 1 Discussion!:

The license announcements on Friday are going to be for new series; JNC doesn't really "announce" individual volume licenses for continuing series.

Sol Press really lowered the bar for what can be considered a “Light Novel Announcement”...
