                @kino this one I am really intrested on, a laid back zombie apocalypse comedy sounds really fun

                                Hmm, that Seven Seas licensed novel hasn't been updated since the 3rd volume in October 2018 (appears to be a novel-novel and not an LN, so not too unusual to be spaced out longer).

                                Main character is 42? I definitely could use more mature heroes.

                                The publisher isn't a usual suspect it seems too. Lots of their popular line looks to be BL.

                                  This looks interesting to me as a 40-something dude Who used to play D&D.

                                  I feel Seven Seas has been putting out a lot of great stuff. They may actually have the highest LN hit ratio for me. I follow Average Abilities, Toradora and Classroom of the Elite. There’s a few others they have that I’m excited to start too.

                                      @raitoiro Last time I asked in Discord Sam said it got delayed a bit because of his mistake (so TL start got delayed). I guess we should be getting it anytime now though.

                                        speaking of new licenses, didn't Sam say during the last announcement thing there would probably be a few more series announced later in the summer? Around when would that be, most likely?

                                          @yumenokage There will probably be announcements at AX.

                                            thanks. I remembered some event being mentioned but couldn't remember what it was. I'm not really in a position to travel around to cons so I've never kept track of them.

                                            If we get some there, then it'll be just a bit more than a month. :)
