@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.

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

@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”...

HarmlessDave

:: shock ::

80,000 Gold volume 2 has an ebook release date! December 14, 2020. That's 2020 not 2021 or 20,200!

the green death

@HarmlessDave wha-what?! I mean it's just hardly under the wire for this calendar year, but still! Between this and the reemergence of My Little Sister Can Read Kanji, we've had some serious Light Novel October surprises!

LegitPancake

What's that, 20 months later? Well done Sol...

Gorgo Primus

So glad they finally announced vol 5 of Chivalry of a Failed Knight is underway. I was beginning to think we weren’t going to get anything else from them in 2020.

Eternal Wanderer

How is Sol Press still in business? There releases are so slow and community trust in them is so low I can't see them making much of a profit.

TUSF

@Eternal-Wanderer I'm guessing that much of their operation is somehow outsourced, or based on infrastructure that isn't theirs, which on one hand means they'll either have lacking quality control, or frequent delays, but on the other hand it means they can also operate at a much lower cost.

Probably not making a profit tho.

One disappointing feature is the lack of clarity. Asked about a scheduled/bookmarked date for physical Radukai only got a vague answer of possibly November.... Maybe on Amazon to.
It is a series I would happily pay for, but the good graces I have are wearing thin when there is no product.
