I’ve already asked the translator, @ReadingSteiner , if it was an error or a release date slip in the Volume 5 discussion. Hopefully we hear something soon! I know several others were sad not to be able to read it tonight.

/r/LightNovels Discussion for Volume 3 if anyone is interested.

Edit: @raddevlin Just saw the post on Goodreads in the promotions tab of the Japanese Novel Club. Shows how much free time I've had to spend there lately. xP

Haha, beat you to the scoop! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

You should pop your head in every now and then to chat! We've just started the group read for All You Need Is Kill (topical since it's another Haikasoru book) and it would be great to have you on board.

I read that one, so I'll definitely show up at some point.

I wanted to mention there that the audiobook is free on Hoopla to rent.

@hatguy12 After all, we're just paying for the pre-pub and not access to the whole story? It wasn't made clear on the details and no hint from the listing that there are missing parts. Though I got some hint that there might be missing parts but they are easy to dismiss, specially when you're reading on mobile phone only.

@hatguy12 sweet. Guess I need to follow J novel on Twitter then.

Most pleasing news indeed

Nope, still not on the B&N web site. It only lists the first 2 books, as of 8/31/2017

@gonki Hyouka is also available from the Japanese BookWalker site, and you can use an account from the global site to purchase it (the book itself is Japanese-only, obviously).

I'm on Goodreads as well. One day I was just curious to find out how many books I have read. So I made an account, logged in all the books I remember reading, and have been adding to it ever since.

I can't go into direct details but Mr. Piansky may be slightly more motivated now to finish off SisKan...

Its confirmed that volume six and onwards will be in 8 parts.

@korppi said in Question about "If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord":

I like it. Story is pure saccharin(for now at least), Latina is adorable as hell, and I don't have any issues with 'that'. Just hoping the end won't turn grimdark going by all the foreshadowing...

I'm hoping that they don't do some sort of age catch up thing with our heroine, nor some sort of immortality / age slowing for our guy. I want to see her father growing even more distant age wise physically as the story goes.

I imagine dealing with his death of old age being very emotional. 😢

@terrence

At least now we have a date* rather than a time frame.

Okay thanks

Hmm so my Big sister is rather short novel is something surprising to me since how each part is written I was thinking that it was planned to have at least dozen volumes, as for other novels i read means Paying to win it doesn't surprise me at all since i do not feel like it could have much more material to write.
As for Mixed Bathing I'm surprise that WN didn't was longer before getting published.

I believe the first series to be completed by J-novel (besides one volume long brave chronicle) will either bluesteel Blasphemer or My Little sister can read kanji. I also feel it would be great idea to celebrate it on j-novel by either announce new license or maybe something else (like some promotional action).

@hakomari
Totally worth it.

@Eternal-Wanderer It didn't bother me, it reminded me of how reading the book felt. It really felt like the book was a bunch of really tiny short stories loosely tied together until the over arching plot started to barely show its big toe.
