      It would be nice to have Kore wa zombie desu ka? translated...
      I would rate this as a 5 stars novel and, to be sincere, one the best books (for me)
      Jnovel could pick this up, right?

        @yagostudart it's a Fujimi Shobo property which means it's owned by Kadowawa, so as of now no J-Novel has no access.

        Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

          This seems interesting

          The Strongest Guild Master Founded a Nation in a Week

          Novel Updates Synopsis:

          Renjin Yanase is an ordinary member of society whose occupation is a sales person. His hobby is an online VR game “Einherjar” that has been on for over five years now. It is a game with high degree of freedom and Renjin silently works hard to nurture his subordinate character.

          The next day was a holiday so he’s going to use it for boss hunting all night.

          When the boss hunt is finished, Renjin falls asleep in the game. He felt like someone was calling his name so he woke up.

          Standing in front of the half-asleep Renjin was Eleanor, a character he created.

          When Renjin looked outside after being puzzled to the characters who behave like they are alive, the outside scenery changed into one that he did not know at all.

          Renjin who surveyed the surrounding, realized that the castle and the 200 subordinates that he created with time and money was transferred to a different world.

          The transferred Renjin announced the declaration of the founding of a nation after a week.

            @drone205 well it is interesting, but was this series published recently? I have nothing against this Light Novel, I'm just kind of tired of jumping into Series that just started getting serialize (in Japan) when I'm in the middle of series that at least have five or six volumes.

              @drone205 Sounds like a mash-up of Master of Ragnarok and Death March to a Parallel World The proxy.

                This girl has a Nintendo DS... As an integral part of her character I guess for it to be on two covers (Dengeki Bunko / Kadokawa, so don't get your hopes up; Bookwalker has a sale on that label, so it's really "in your face" right now).

                  @paul-nebeling add Overlord to that mash-up, the whole concept is the same, just with boring human characters ;)

                    @terrence Not the first time I saw a Light Novel fantasy cover with a character holding a nintendo DS. Although, I don't know which Light Novel had that type of cover first.

                    "The other world doesn't stand a chance against the power of instant death."

                          I posted about the mecha Dowl Masters a while back, it has a 5th volume up for preorder.

                          (Kadokawa publishes iirc, so again, don't get your hopes up for it).

                          https://bookwalker.jp/dec388b287-dc9b-4d4d-ab05-ab1f926a911d/?acode=WpfPW3yk

                          It's previous volume 4 release was 2016, so that's some proof that successful series with no new volumes for a year plus can still continue.

                            These are next to 'Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter' my absolute favorite 'villainess noble girl' novels. They are both really great and absolutely worth reading and I totally hope they will get picked up! (While you read the second novel you really get the urge to begin sewing and create dolls too.)

                            Except the Heroine, after being reincarnated in this shitty game where the support characters are way better than the love interests, is threatening to bring down my own life with flags, and I am determined to strike them down.

                            Synopsis: Apparently, this looks like the fantasy world from the Otome game that I used to play in my previous life. “Me”, Altrea, is the lively rival character who challenged the heroine again and again until she/I received painful backlashes. Like only chasing to have the engagement canceled in the Magic Academy, even breaking and taking over the Duke’s house. For all these eventful stuff, please just give me a break! Or should I say the heart of the game’s heroine is too scarily impregnable! Living differently with the game’s knowledge? Dating the love interests in real life is super troublesome, so I refuse!
                            And so my main priority is to definitely not get involved. I will absolutely not go to that academy. I will go to a different country. Living as a Magic Doll Master in a new land is the best way to live. Eh- The Mystic-eyed Doll Princess? Queen Mage of the Netherworld? Even though I seriously tried my best, I have changed class into the last boss. Why !? Wait for a second, It’s a misunderstanding, Stop, forgive me-.

                              @silvercat422 I've never been into the villainess trope, but the second one sounds too damn good to pass up XD I hope someone picks that one up.

                                Synopsis: Amamiya Hiroto is unlucky. His life consisted of misfortune after misfortune, culminating in an unlucky death during an incident on a school boat trip, trying to save a girl he barely knew. After death, he met a god of reincarnation who requested that the hundred or so dead passengers—one of them being the girl he tried in vain to save—be reincarnated into another world.
                                Yet a series of unfortunate events forced Hiroto to reincarnate with even less luck than before, starting with nothing but a tremendous amount of Mana. His second life, far worse than his first, came to a cruel end.

                                However, upon meeting the god a second time, he was informed that there would be yet another reincarnation—one that had already been set in motion and could not be stopped. Not wanting Hiroto to live long, the god cursed him before he was reborn in the hopes that he would either die quickly or commit suicide.

                                Hiroto was reborn once more as a half-Vampire, half-Dark Elf. A Dhampir. Not wanting a fourth life, he is determined to live this third life with the only things remaining from his previous lives—death-attribute magic and his enormous Mana pool.

                                  Sevens is also a really good novel. Thought the web novel is completely translated.
                                  LN is still ongoing & i hope J-Novel Club will License it.

                                          @sam-pinansky said in Novel pick-up requests:

                                          Did you know that the sound euphonium novels (the originals) were actually not light novels, but normal good old fashioned novel novels?

                                          It means that they were published by a publisher that doesn't publish any other things like we have... It's something I'd love to go after if I have the time.
                                          The spinoffs are normal light novels and they are on my radar too. First step, show those publishers we mean business!

                                          Also thanks for proving our forum actually works.

                                          The publisher also have other LN labels, despite Sound Euphonium is not published in one of them.

                                            Is there any interest in picking up <I, the Demon Lord, Took a Slave Elf as My Wife, but How Do I Love Her?> It is also published by Hobby Japan and it looks like it would be heartwarming romance story.
