      Yen doesn't look keen on getting the two side story volumes... I'm sad now.

      I don't think they'll be getting that extra Psycome volume either...

        @mmkop My position is similar to that of @Aruseus493. YP has the licensing exclusivity from Kadokawa that makes them very difficult to compete against. I personally think that JNC is starting to get close to the point where they will be seen as legitimate competition for YP. After all, three (more) JNC titles are being made into anime, and I haven't counted how many have already been made into anime.

          @paul-nebeling For reference, 3 upcoming anime and 8 already-aired anime.

              @doublemangekyo I'm halfway through So I'm a Spider Vol. 2 and the lack of editing is abysmal. The worst it has to offer so far is translating a skill as [Height of Evil] in a paragraph, and in the next one, barely 4 lines later, it's written as [Height of Occultism]. I can accept typos, shit happens, but inconsistencies of this degree are unacceptable. I won't even mention the fact that the skill name should be [Magic Supremacy] and the "official translation" fails to convey that meaning.

              YP doesn't deserve my money at all with their horrible products... but it's either that or never getting to read some light novels, I wish my japanese was good enough to fully read novels on a regular basis but I'm nowhere near close.

                I haven't read through it, but literally on the first page of the prologue, Empty Box 2 has a missing word.

                Well, thanks to this last incident, I’m beginning understand why

                I hear Monster Girl Doctor was the worst edited light novel to date... So looking forward to reading that..

                Do Yen Press update their digital offerings' grammar / editing after release?

                  There is no prologue in either volumes 1 or 2, and I flipped through the first few pages of the first couple chapters and don't see what you're talking about. Not to say I don't believe you, rather hoping you can point me in a more specific location to see if my copy also has this error :x

                    don't see what you're talking about.

                    It's the first page of the story on digital store. The line is the first of the 5th paragraph.

                    Did you get it?

                              Looks like the "Shinmai Maou No Testament" LN series won't get an official English release

                                @xftg123 it's also the last volume I believe, and the main story ended on the previous volume so the author just let himself loose for the epilogue I guess

                                  @xftg123 there are 2 ways

                                  1. JNC launches a second label called J-Novel Club Black

                                  2. FAKKU starts publishing Light Novels.

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

                                        Wait, maybe Seven Seas's Ghost Ship Imprint could do it! Despite being adult/mature manga under that imprint, they could possibly do mature/adult LNs!

                                            @xftg123 Did in fact cross my mind, however with Amazon's recent Kindle purge of content that was to "risque", I felt it would be easily for JNC and FAKKU (who have their own distribution networks) to get them... in theory.

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