So this is a stealth hint for the next set of announcements. Won't have a chance to dig into it for a while but I'm curious what they did.

I know this is for April Fool's (although it's already over from where I live) but where did you get the illustrations from?

Did JNC really hire an illustrator just for this or is the illustration from one of the new licensed titles that will be announced in the stream?

Either way, I'm even more excited about the new titles.

@bartzbb They were done by @hirei our marketing manager!

@myskaros
Amazing! It looks like a legit LN.

hirei · Apr 1, 2021, 4:40 PM

@bartzbb Thank you! :D I had so much fun working on it. I hope that we can make it into a free Ebook for you guys so you can see the full art too.

@hirei
Wait, does this mean this book having 17 parts is true?

Honestly, I was just expecting this one part only and nothing more since this is for April Fool's but it would be amazing to see a full book.

"Curse you *A***A*A and your irresistable imprints!" probably indicates Kadokawa licenses?

Crimson Wise · Apr 1, 2021, 4:46 PM

Kudos indeed, this was a great April Fool's day joke! The story was kind of fun as well, to my very surprise.

I enjoyed the dedicated correction topic!

That aside, if this were a full book, I would buy it!

I almost had my doubts while I checked out the title online. But didn't expect the hints for upcoming licenses. Nice one!

This is the best novel I've ever read in my entire life. I will pass this down through generations so that for years to come, my family will understand where they came from. Many tears fell from my eyes at the emotional conclusion of this novel.

Kami-sama bless LeVon Jaymes for bringing this masterpiece into the world.
Kami-sama bless Hirei for their beautiful artwork which moved me as much as the text.
Kami-sama bless exedore for the world's best translation. Other translators should read this book to see what real translation looks like.
Kami-sama bless Nathan Archer for the highest quality of editing.
Kami-sama bless the readers for experiencing this with me.

Well that was an enjoyable little story, kudos for the interesting and fun AF joke!

EmpactWB · Apr 2, 2021, 12:24 AM

@saffire I’m glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that.

That said, there are so many things that might be hints, or might just be only the words on screen, that I’m having trouble predicting anything. Not that I’m ever right, but trying to guess is the fun part.

strangeattractor · Apr 2, 2021, 3:56 AM

Truck-kun did not send the main character to another world?! What a shocking twist! O_O

AnimeMayhem · Apr 2, 2021, 6:05 AM

This was well timed. I think the last six new novels and mangas I picked up all either had the truck take out the MC or the MC's parents/friends.

thefirstpunicwar · Apr 2, 2021, 2:01 PM

I like the fact that the Sermon number is Pi above the synopsis on the series page.
Also, the digital release date is in the year 3333. Looks like we will have to wait awhile.

Lily Garden · Apr 3, 2021, 12:37 AM

So...when does part 2 come out? 😉🤣

TheGrimLich · Apr 3, 2021, 1:38 PM

@lily-garden Maybe we'll get Part 2 when it's time for the next round of previews?

Does the JNC staff know that they just opened a can of worms? This was perfectly readable as a legit stand alone story. The challenge how now been issued = write new parts to drop clues for releases, make the next parts as fun/readable as part one was and weave an actual plot into the story. As bonus content or between parts, I humbly request a 'key' of what the clues were
