    Just noticed: PublishDrive seems to add the authors with their Japanese Names to Amazon

      So as I was browsing Amazon (the german one) I noticed that some new eBooks get added with the author in Hiragana. For example "My Quiet Blacksmith life" gets instead of written as Tamamaru his Japanese pen name of "たままる".

      Is this a problem of Aamzon or publish drive? Because I noticed the same thing on another LN from Seven Seas (Survival in another world with my Mistress".

        Bookworm has that same problem and it's not published under PublishDrive. It just seems to be an Amazon problem in general.

          Amazon also has difficulties with consistency in ordering name components of Japanese authors in romaji format; they will have part of a series attached to [Latin Alphabet: Last Name First Name], and part to [Latin Alphabet: First Name Last Name], and of course they will only accept the word of those authors that it's the same person.
