Volume 1 (Premium Edition): 6 Bonus Short Stories Behind the Scenes of a Certain Plan Girl Snatcher vs. Genius Mage Inter-Party Relations Everything You Need in a Single Magazine! The Perfect Guide to Puriff: Date Edition On Their Way Back The Thoughts of a Girl in Love

Ah, OK, so they're one of the translators who's a one-series-at-a-time translator. Which, honestly, is a perfectly reasonable stance, given how intense translating can be (source: I spent the better part of a semester translating 1850s German printed in small-print Fraktur into English, which was a thing).

Translating two series at once would be absolutely nuts, and I'm impressed anyone could even consider doing it. Doubly so if the two series have very different writing styles (*coughQuofcough*)

@myskaros Yes, please retain the original names. I actually google images throughout the story to see what they look like for both places and antiques. I also think that most readers of Japanese novels are already accustomed to Japanese names or they will appreciate learning about Japanese names and culture. Personally I was hoping the honorifics were kept because it informs me on the level of familiarity between the characters and when and if that familiarity changes. However, I am also fine with the absence of the honorifics since you guys are probably making it easier for the English speaking readers who aren’t familiar with honorifics.

The Irresistible Fragrance of Résistance’s Perfume! Special: Nurse ARIA, Savior of Lives! Special: Pre-Reincarnation! A Day in the Wataru’s School Life!

Since there is never any discussion, I decided to wait and read the entire thing in one go. So of course you guys do discuss it a little. Ah well...

I'm with Inaba... I think what pisses me off the most is that Heartseed's plan actually worked. It's rather remarkable that them regaining their memories was enough to alter realty though. Hard to say if that's because of <their> power or if it's because contact with them just results in this kind of thing happening. It's a bit chicken and egg really... If Heartseed's power rewrote reality, but he didn't have his own memories back yet until reality was rewritten...

I know Sam has used Aoi Oni as his example for proving that he'll always try to finish a series if possible, but honestly, finishing this one seems more impressive to me. It's more volumes to license and pay folks on after all, despite it being evident for some time this isn't likely to be a popular title after all. Though that is making the assumption that discussion on the forums equals sales in some ways. I wouldn't expect to see his other series licensed though.

I've also sent this in mail (since I know that's where stuff regarding released content is better sent to) but I'll mention it here in case the staff encounter this in the next volume (that I've yet to start)

Volume 6 part 8 ~50%: Lorraine mentions a monster called "gadol ze'ev" which is in Hebrew (lit. Big Wolf) however in Hebrew it should be the other way around "Ze'ev Gadol" (lit. Wolf Big)

Volume 6 part 10 ~65%: the same issue is repeated with "gadol akavish" (lit. Big Spider) that should be "akavish gadol".

Ofc this could be just what the source is like, so I just wanted it brought to the attention of the staff so they can make a (possibly more) educated decision regarding the naming, should such a case repeat again

Edit:
'Shahor Melechnamer' (lit. Black kingtiger) though it would make more sense to swap these around too, the entire thing doesn't make much sense in the language (as 'kingtiger' isn't actually a word obviously) though. All that considered either 'Melechnamer Shahor' or 'Namermelech Shahor' could work (both aren't natural to the language however they're better than the first)

Finally caught up with this volume, the story was intresting liked the intrigue thou I wish the book was shorter.

I have some doubts about the Prince x Juliane 💑. But said could be said to Marielle x Simeon. Hope to see how it works out in the next volume

@EmpactWB my thoughts exactly.

Also anyone else creeped out by the way the Queen keeps feeding her fingers to her pet bird?

If you own the premium epub of volume 13, then be sure to update/sync/re-download it, whatever you need to do to get the newest version, because the short story has finally arrived! "Outbreak Academy" is a bit like one of those spinoffs where everyone is in school, but laced with Shinichi's inimitable brand of panicked otaku-ness. You can find the short story at the end of the book, prior to the translator's notes. Enjoy!

Hi everyone! There was an error when initially uploading the premium version of this volume and the glossary appears to be missing. I believe this should be fixed now, so try downloading it again (usual restrictions apply: if you're not getting a new version, try clearing your cache, using a different browser, or using incognito mode). If it's still missing, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Volume 6 (Premium Edition): 2 Bonus Short Stories Relief for a Rusting Heart A Weakened Girl’s Pride

Two cute stories.

@valdearg said in Sexiled Vol. 1 Discussion!:

Any news on a new volume in Japan?

No news, still just 2 volumes at the moment.

@rkkn Could run into a problem if it turns out two or more rivers feed into one at some point upstream.

It's quite possible the author was influenced by The Doctor.

There have been others in science fiction and fantasy, time travel stories date back to at least A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and 20th century SF was filled with stories of time patrols, time police, alternate world travelers, but The Doctor is the most famous one on TV.

@zwabbit yep, we're still waiting for Volume 4... still no updates on what's going on with the delays or if they already got the materials etc

Volume 4 (Premium Edition): 2 Bonus Short Stories Caulkin’s Initial Intent Maria’s Lesson

@zwabbit I try to read parts of it just before the latest part of Potion Loli or Bookworm or Bibliophile comes out so I have something fluffy to read afterwards.

So I have to actually ask this question, what age group are light novels actually meant for in Japan? When the words pussy, hole (See prior), cock actually pop up in a novel supposedly for teens and pre-teens it kinda makes me kind of wonder. I’m enjoying this series immensely so far as an adult but that whole section in the second part made me wonder.

We're back, baby!

Part 1 of volume 15 of Outbreak Company will debut this Thursday, 20 August. Thank you all so much for your continuing patience and support.

Volume 15 kicks off with some startling events that will shake up at least one of the countries in the isekai, and will bring together some characters who haven't seen each other in a while. What? Who? How? Other single-word questions?! All* will be revealed in the next installment of Outbreak Company!

*Disclaimer: Not actually all.

I just finished. Really like the shorts, it's nice to get a complete reading experience with each part. However, the last part was just un-funny and a chore to read. No biggie as the other 6 were tons of fun (reminds me of a series of 15 min slightly acrion-y SoL anime).

Excited to read volume 3
