@piisfun I think one of the fan translators for LDM was actually monitored by J-Novel Club so they only stuck to the web novel and removed the offending light novel portions. Even if that didn't take much money, that did waste time, which for a publisher amounts to the same thing. But yeah they do have this rare ability to produce high quality translations at an astonishing rate. And if you purchase from their site directly, it seems even cheaper than others as well. It's almost spooky.

@Torka LOL. Well, I could have put the full title including the subtitle, but its a bit long.

@c933103 They do have shounen titles so there’d be some hope but Cross Infinite World is the only publisher that licenses unpublished series.

You can see what has been licensed so far here.

@ShipTeaser Some dudes are so gun-shy that they will do anything to not get hurt.

@DoubleMangekyo

Provided you go in with low expectations of it ever happening, sure.

Why would I have anything else? Lol.

As for sales, given that Seven Seas licensed Yabuki's other series, Darling in the Franxx, and even nabbed the Ayakashi Triangle license from VIZ, it's probably safe to say that To Love Ru & To Love Ru Darkness didnt sell poorly. Tho yes, they presumably they didnt sell well enough to justify immediately licensing the light novels.

why would JNC want it?

Because I want to buy it and read it! Because other people want to buy it and read it! Lol.

In that case, Seven Seas would be much more likely to get these novels instead of JNC anyway...

Again, there's literally no harm in asking JNC to get it, so I dont see your point. I'm not claiming it's likely to happen.

So it's Kou 2 ni Time Leaped Shita Ore ga, Touji suki Datta Sensei ni Kokutta Kekka but with both main characters as time leapers. Seems interesting.

@facelessone said in It Seems The Production Skill Acquired In Another World Is The Strongest:

Kou Kousaka is an ordinary salaryman working overtime in a black company when a totally unprecedented event happens: he dies and is sent to another world.
Unlike those other isekai novels where the main character decides to be a hero or a demon lord, Koko here doesn’t care for any of that. The isekai system rewards his lack of choice with several powers which have never been seen before: the ability to store items in a limitless inventory, immediately dismantle them into materials, and then use them to create something new. How will our completely unique hero survive in this new world?

I love how you used the MD description here because honestly, even though it's a joke description it totally fits.

@the-effing-ralyks-mt3oazi

It’s an old and completed series, not to mention one that has like 50+ volumes - that’s like a triple threat in terms of licensing. There’s a better chance of 008 being licensed.
