    I need some help with remembering stuff about the Gandors from Baccano volumes 1,2, and 3 so I can be ready for 4. One specific element....

    (SPOILERS for Baccano up to volume 4)

      Anything Gandor related would be super helpful. =)

      You are pretty much on the money. :slight_smile:

      Personally I really like the Gandors and volume 4 is a favourite of mine! After you finish the book, you might want to check out chapters 1-5 of the (good) manga as it features that group of childhood friends in a prequel story set in 1927. It's not essential by any means but I enjoyed it. :slight_smile:

          Anyone seen this site Qidian International? Are they legit / legal Chinese web novels translated to English? How do they make their money (ads?)?

          https://m.webnovel.com

          After I saw the Cross Infinite World announcement of that Reincarnated into an Otome Protagonist book, I wanted to see if there were any male reincarnation stories, and there's one called Neet Receives a Dating Sim System there.

            @terrence Arguably legit, probably not legal: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/6cvjst/whats_going_on_with_qidian_international_and/

            I'm not really interested in any Wuxiang/Cultivation/Chinese novels (except maybe Release That Witch), but this Qidian saga is popcorn worthy.

              Ahh, too bad. I try to stay on the up and up with my novel reading (haven't read any fanslations yet, but if I did, I'd probably want to purchase the books in Japanese first to show support).

              Edit: I don't really understand the situation in the link though... that doesn't sound like illegal, just them taking back their properties and not licensing any more to that other site. I'm probably misunderstanding the situation from those posts.

              Edit 2: That additional link on the Reddit got me an answer to my other question...

              which they intend to paywall in a few months.

                @terrence The illegal part refers to https://www.reddit.com/r/noveltranslations/comments/6cp1ag/please_use_this_thread_to_discuss_the_wuxiaworld/. I obviously cannot verify those claims, but with everything said and done, Qidan seems to be at least scummy.

                  From what I gather, Qidan just rips fan translations from Wuxia World, though they're in process of recruiting Wuxia World's translators and bringing over their series.

                  They're currently in legal dispute with them as well.

                  Personally I wouldn't read stuff on Qidan. They seem really scummy, aiming for an eventual paywall and LOL I ain't paying for fan translations.

                    You aren't buying Invaders of the Rokujyoma? Granted it's getting edited.

                        Hey, I have one more question if you don't mind.

                        How old is Luck developmentally?

                        I'm curious if Luck x Eve Genoard could be a thing in the future, but don't spoil it. Luck being single was something brought up in the volume

                        spoiler

                          @terrence No worries. :slight_smile:

                          Going by the manga, Luck is the same age as Firo so he's physically 18 and actually 21-22 in volume 4. I assume Claire is the same age as them as well.

                          My thoughts on Luck x Eve - no spoilers as I don't know the answer, haha:

                            A lot of light novels released yesterday. Anyone get any?

                            I got:

                            Part Timer 8 (2.99 after a Google Books 5 off promo).

                            Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers 2 (3.50 after a 5 off credit from a cancelled free Amazon Echo Dot).

                            I'm making out like a bandit.

                            Also got Slime Reincarnation (which I think I messed up and got the manga) and Goblin Slayer 3 on their way.

                              Yep, the light novel won't be out until December.

                              Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                                    @terrence quick question for part timer, what volume did the anime end on? I'm feeling really lazy and don't feel like reading it from the start, I loved the anime and I'm actually looking forward to buying this LN if it continued after the anime that is.

                                      Depends what you're after really! If you think you've got your fill of VRMMO settings with SAO or want to read something full of fanservice then pick Demon King Daimaou. Otherwise, my recommendation would be Infinite Dendrogram as I feel it is the stronger story.

                                        Volume 3! I was lazy too, so I just started from there.

                                        The only thing of note from the previous volumes that isn't in the show is (Devil is a Part-Timer Volume 2 spoiler):
