the problem with this, and index as a whole, the only way to buy an ebook of index is on bookwalker which can't be ripped unless you're tech savy enough or have the channels
does anybody know what's up with that?

>>46496818
that's still the case and the effort required to get into the groups that teach you how to rip is so grueling that's faster to straight up transcribe manually every single volume off screenshot scans

>>46497459
There's no way MTL or any reliable TL crutch would fuck up 許嫁 that badly.
This is either a joke TL or the result of the Dunning-Kruger effect, where the translator knows enough Japanese to know what 許 and 嫁 mean and is too overconfident to run it by Rikaikun or something.

>>46498004
>where the translator knows enough Japanese to know what 許 and 嫁 mean
The "translator" for these cover subtitles is always a nip ESL, nobody is paying an actual translator to do a single sentence

>>46498044
Well, shit, I stand corrected.
Isn't DeepL supposed to be one of the better MTLs out there?

>>46498055
If you're talking about me >>46498036, I was arguing that it was some Eleven ESL who just slapped it into an MTL. Which is exactly what happened. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here, or what this has to do with Japan as a whole.

>>46498077
I think he is that one fag who gets triggered by the word "nip".

>>46498059
It was earlier this year and in 2023, and then it got lobotomized somewhere around late January.
These days it can even miss basic conjugations for no reason, and the sperging out of "the best idea good idea when you make the most out of your business" as well as skipping lines happens more often now than ever before.
Pointing at the text with a hover dictionary it seems to think ができた is actually something else entirely so this may be the issue.

>MTL doesn't recognize gyaru as it's own term.
But why tho.
Even throwing ツンデレ at MTL results in "normally being sharp but at some prompt suddenly becoming lovestruck" and that has been in english lingo for longer than the current generation after zoomies have been alive.
Actually I think it may have been a thing in english lingo for longer than some zoomies have been alive.

>>46498465
Maybe I'm misremembering but I think like 10-15 years ago it'd just fetch a translation for each individual word and stitch that together. Sometimes it'd even use a third language as an intermediary lol

>>46498533
>>MTL doesn't recognize gyaru as it's own term.

>>46498553
even these days it still feels like even GPT is running japanese through a word replace sheet, conjugations through their own sheet and then barely cobbling it together into something sorta-readable, those charts showing 99% parity with a human translator feel like they are either lying or the average translator is shit at their job
also who knows what data it has when even jisho still has shit like 公爵 labeled as both "prince" and "duke" within the same definition

>>46498579
>also who knows what data it has when even jisho still has shit like 公爵 labeled as both "prince" and "duke" within the same definition
Yeah basically every popular online JP->EN "dictionary" is just a front-end for JMdict anyway
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JMdict
Which is fucking garbage and a complete was of everyone's time

>>46498579
because 公爵 is a chinese rank with no direct european equivalent, so could be a duke who governs a duchy or a prince who rules a principality depending on the context

>>46498644

>>46498686

>>46498832
i don't see your point when it would get localized as "da hood's top nigga" or something similar anyway

>>46498644
>because 公爵 is a chinese rank with no direct european equivalent
Anon... a simple google search will show you that these peerage ranks were created after meiji restoration, trying to emulate britbong system as close as possible. The "prince" translation comes from translators interpreting it as similar to british ducal titles. Again, tling it as "prince" is not exactly wrong if you expand the definition to include those related by blood to the imperial line, though somewhat distant.

post your top 5 bro

finished volume 2 of mitou shoukan, i like some aspects of it white queen specifically but man im finding it difficult to get into
hoping it just clicks in the next volume or 2

I know it's probably kinda hopeless, but I need to keep asking, anyone have vols 2 to 4 of Tsukimichi?

>>46503503
IIRC the first 2 volumes are the weakest

>>46504214
>>46503503
I read vol 1 a long while ago, and found the premise interesting enough but never got further into it...

>>46501307
it's the opposite, en epubs are just way easier to find than jp epubs

>>46504360
I think the joke is almost nothing gets translated anymore, not even by fan TLs.

Call me new if you want but I think this is the first time you ask, it's not even on the wishlist ritualpost.

Not really feeling 嘆きの亡霊 desu
I don't mind the joke when it's done in Flashman Papers or Ciaphas Cain where the main characters actively do something cowardly or self serving while showing some awareness of how much shit they're getting into, everyone around them blowing this out of proportion is great.

However Krai being an actual sub room temperature IQ mongoloid who nods to everything, forgets stuff five minutes after he's told and actively refuses to see that shit is hitting the fan is just not compelling at all, and it's not as funny to see people misunderstanding that.

>>46519939
Have you read Tearmoon Empire?
It's a pretty basic twist on the regression fantasy genre where the protagonist is an idiotic coward who does everything right by accident so it actually ends up closer to the flashmans of the world than you'd expect

>>46520431
I watched the anime and enjoyed it. I've been thinking of reading the novels at some point but the length is putting me off slightly because I'm not sure how the premise could go on for that long without decaying.

>>46520698
It was meh for me personally but at least readable until vol 11 (or 12, don't remember when the arc I had in mind ends). Everything after that though is completely unnecessary.

>>46519939
The first volume is as close to a masterpiece as it gets with the execution of that premise.
However, later on it starts to commit the mistake of taking itself too seriously in a lore/worldbuilding way, and kinda in a wiki-filler way.
Like for a direct comparison evil lord also starts out simple then starts spewing out worldbuilding whenever needed, but it's never really more than absolutely necessary to keep the plot rolling.
Meanwhile this reaches a point where it's almost overlord levels of tangent, like early on when there's the dragon slayer cocky guys and it basically gives you a detailed breakdown of the economic and guild situation that country was in at the time and it's like, who the fuck cares.
And this, everything being so detailed and logical and everyone having higher than average intelligence as a result, just makes the MC being room temp not really work, it feels too contrived as a result.

>>46521116
i couldn't fucking stand it but also i still found myself reading more
i don't know if this is a positive or a negative

he's more likelly just a fan of isekai slop

>>46519939
>>46521302
interesting, i was also thinking about why it doesn't click for me yesterday
i feel like the basic premise of 嘆きの亡霊 is a bit like a slightly more involved konosuba, you have this sitcom-setup with ridiculous characters and them interacting with each other is what makes for the jokes and drives the plot forward, with the caveat that the plot is very "rigid" and never moves too far away from the status quo (at least at the point where i'm at now)
i actually really like this and think it does a good job at it - the characters are extremely likeable and fun and i enjoy seeing them interact and the humor of the author. i can even forgive that klain is a acting like a fucking retard i still find myself giggling at the misunderstandings
but the reason konosuba works is that it uses this setup and puts the character interactions at the forefront, it's fast-paced, there is narration of course, some world-building, some explanation of what's going on. but the character interactions are always the star of the show, from beginning to end, and that's what you need to do to make this setup work
嘆きの亡霊 just doesn't do that, the interactions are interrupted by constant wordy tidbits about the world that have no real relevance to what's actually going on right now
just take volume 2 it was so fucking long like holy shit you could have cut at least half of that and would have ended up with a way better paced volume that doesn't feel like a slog to read
it really is a shame because the characters are fantastic but yeah i don't see myself persevering through this one

>>46526526
>>46521302
interesting, I never personally thought the worldbuilding got out of hand or even had it cross my mind at all that the text is spending too much time on these details. To me the main character literally not listening at all to what other people say and plainly forgetting things he was told 1 page ago just doesn't make for good comedy at all.

>>46526583
It's certainly a byproduct issue.
The parts alone like character driven plot/comedy and worldbuilding isn't really an issue, and in fact it doesn't do anything better series haven't done before.
The issue is the sum of the parts, in this particular combination and context, does detract from the comedy.
If you're in for the funny, the worldbuilding gets to anywhere from intrusive to a slog depending on your tastes.
If you are in for the story and just like some funny, the MC acting like a dumbass clown yet somehow still being a particular spice of "arrogant but self deprecating" ass will get on your nerves very quickly.
Depending on what your tastes are, you may suffer both reactions.
This is very likely down to taste, if you like it then the total sum of the parts is more than what they are and if you like the worldbuilding then it's fairly well written with pacing that while a slow burn, it's not that bad.
If you don't like the result, it's just an annoying slog.

>>46526640
I wouldn't necessarily say I wasn't in it for the funny. I think it might be closer to what the other anon said, the world is sufficiently realized that all the other characters in spite of being some flavor of screwball do actually have to have the necessary brainpower to navigate said world and only makes the MC having zero agency stand out even more, unlike Konosuba which runs on looney tunes logic and so everybody is as much of a joke as each other.

>>46526761
wonder how much of that is from the author being used (and good at) writing srs bsns plots but trying to do the funni

>>46526837
that sucks
funni comedy is slop, normal stuff that happens to have comedy is miles better

>>46526526
Hate to be that guy, but this really works better with the "brain off" method.
The worldbuilding would work anywhere else but here it's just filler that makes the MC look too incompetent, I just read it for Liz.

what if the issue is the MC is actually just weak?
absurdly strong and absurdly smart works as funni, fucking love matty kun and similar "but this is a basic thing why are they treating me like a god?" stories
absurdly strong and fucking stupid works, evil lord is fine, same with schizoman and kagejitsu

people don't like doormats.
It has a time and a place and they can't exist without having something to make them useful. Like being decently smart, very cunning, deceptive or God's luck or in transmigration stories they have knowledge of the game/book they are in to offset being a low-level, no-talent shitter.
The only place I can see a weak protagonist really can work in a non-weak to a strong story is in torture porn where it is just the MC suffering over and over until finally getting a win. Or misunderstanding stories where by the grace of god the MC hasn't been killed by a random bandit yet.
Both of these don't have the MC driving the story and is just being dragged by it.

My favourite kind of story is where the mc wants nothing to do with the retarded world around them yet is dragged into it while doing everything in their non-existing power to survive and escape the unlucky situation.

>>46530402
i really don't think that's the issue and he does have a talent, he's extremely good at using 魔法具

Without including basically every single weak to strong with some utility shit that is.

Did you know that Japan has this wonderful plant called rice? After reading a ginormous amount of books, I learned all there is to know about this plant.
Surprisingly only people with dark hair and dark eyes can grow this mysterious plant, no matter which world we're talking about

>>46541918
It is kinda weird how asians act like rice is exclusively their thing when it has been grown around the Mediterranean for so long they have traditional and even national dishes that use it.
It would be funny to see an MC try to impress generic Europe-based fantasy peoples with his rice, only for them to respond with a killer paella.

>>46541918
>>46542116
most isekai take place in medieval societies inspired by germany, france or britain and rice just hasn't really been a thing there because the conditions weren't suitable for growing it in large quantities
people have eaten rice for much longer in spain and southern italy but that's not what nips think of when they write a story about medievil europe

>>46542173

>>46541918

>>46542314
they aren't really wrong if you remove the medieval part
also add reverse native isekai

>>46543264
after what tho?

in Japanese what's it called where they have ways to know who is talking?

a while ago I asked why it's hard to how who is speaking in translated LN and someone gave me the writing system Japanese that is used to identify the speaker and said that's why the LN doesn't translate well.

>>46543628
sometimes in japanese, characters tend to have really distinctive ways of speaking
so you can mostly tell who's talking in the scene if you're familiar with that

>>46543628
i have seen that get called 役割語 here but frankly it's just normal character speech patterns

>>46543661
>>46543674
ahh i see. thank you

>>46543839
once you start taking the training wheels off and get past having to check what basic particles do every time you see them, you will start to just notice it automatically
in my opinion that's like THE thing that marks you as a N4+, with being able to switch your internal monologue to japanese being the N2+ mark

>>46543628
it's called common sense desu. think of it like this desu, you have a person and the way they address you:
a. anon
b. anon-kun
c. anon-sama
desu
then you have these people that call you
d. ymous
e. ymous-kun
f. ymous-sama
desu
now for all intents and purposes we have 6 people each with a unique way of addressing you desu. now what happens during translation desu?
a. you
b. you
c. you
d. you
e. you
f. you

it all gets stripped away desu, have fun figuring out who is who desu. take it a step further and you have people that use speech ticks and end all their lines with degozaru or desu and so on, guess what happens to all of that desu?

it's gone, and that's just the tip of the iceberg

nanodegozaru

>>46543896
there's also the gobi and which character tends to use what and how they phrase things, but this starts to start going down the slippery slope of actual 役割語 and gendered language and social positioning language and so on which starts to go down the slope into full blown keigo and then there's just pain
you get the point, especially when gobi never get translated either for whatever reason, they just get ignored

>>46543896
I remember back in the day when reading arifureta, I don't know exactly where but I read (in english) a joke about the girls judging a new orbiter and if she was fit to join the group and hajime (or maybe it was yue) was like "yeah nobody else calls me in the same way you do so it's fine", I think it was on the meme 4koma.
At that moment I had no fucking clue what that even meant, then like 2 years later when I could already read most stuff without checking a dictionary every 30 seconds I gave it a reread, then I remembered that joke when kaori joined the group calling him nagumo, and I was like, holy shit, that's what the joke was talking about, every single girl calls him something different even if it's just the honorific.
It was such galaxy brain expanding moment that it sticks to me to this day nearly a decade later.

>>46543628
>>46543839
役割語 is one of them but if you're talking about stuff like "desu wa" then 語尾
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E8%AA%9E%E5%B0%BE%E3%81%AE%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7

>>46544047
technically speaking gobi does fall within the definition of role language
but i have found out very technical definitions just confuse people, so it's easier to just say "honorifics, gendered conjugation of verbs and gobi" which leaves a lot out but it's good enough as a definition when starting out

>>46544195
For sure, I just figured it's worth naming separately because it's the one part of 役割語 that people who hadn't even started learning yet would recognize/know

>>46543935
>especially when gobi never get translated either for whatever reason
because gobi doesn't exist in english, transliterating it over is a garbage hack and writing distinctly voiced dialogue with a similar "feel" is too hard/takes too long for most amateurs so they just dump it

Explaining why doesn't make it any less dumb, it's ridiculous somehow basic stuff like よね　or だろう trip up so called professional translators despite the solution being as simple as 2-3 words and maybe a question mark depending on the context.

it's not an incorrect word, it's just that anisama is so archaic that nobody ever uses it and its use here is supposed be a part of elisa's general retard toddler talk. english doesn't have archaic forms of "brother" so it's the less evil choice vs "brudder"

So not sure from where you got that from, though it does seem to be archaic given the most common forms I have seen is either にい　or おにい plus honorifics and I only ever see あにき in the context of jobber thugs or similar which technically makes it a separate term.

Anyone bought space mercenary 12? Can you share it please

Does buying electronic copies help publishers see a work as profitable as much as physical copies? I always want to do day 1 purchases for stuff I like but it's a waste paying for shipping for a single item and I can't pad my cart with other stuff every time I make an order

>>46556334
Rationally speaking, they should be, considering the higher profit margins, but nearly all the author posts regarding this say that initial physical sales are the deciding factor for the publisher evaluation.
Probably due to jap boomers.
That said it seems like the opinion's gradually shifting, especially with the niche stuff or the newer labels. For example schuld's trpg is moving barely 2k physical copies during release but is getting continued because of initial digital sales that are 4~5 times higher according to the author.

>>46556427
>Probably due to jap boomers.
I would feel weird if one day LNs (and books in general) all went digital only so I kinda understand but digital's way too convenient for everyone involved.
>digital sales that are 4~5 times higher according to the author.
Makes me feel better about my purchases, thanks.

>>46556334
that's actually a big misconception, what's important for any and all industries is immediate sales by any medium within the first maybe 3-7 days then from there things change depending on the industry whether or not sales remain strong for a given period. for example even if a publisher values physical over digital your digital copy purchased in the first month will have a much bigger impact that your physical purchased 3 or 12 months later

I've never read a LN, currently interested in Boogiepop and Vampire Hunter D, are they worth my time?
What are some must-reads?

>>46567848
>I've never read a LN
But you've watched anime before, right? Then might want to start with something you're familiar like prolly Index, Spice and Wolf, Toradora, and Dendro. If not, if you've only ever read western "Ackshual Literature," TRPG and Saihate no Paladin should fit your palate since they're written like an oldskool western fantasy novel.
Boogiepop is a good mystery and can be considered one of the best during it's initial publication. But there's a bunch of more interesting mystery LNs to read now like Yurisekai Picnic, Utsuru Hako, In/Spectre, and Monogatari. Haven't read Vampire Hunter though, so I can't give my opinion.

>>46567904
>But you've watched anime before, right?
Yes but most of the animes I watched are more psychological like Lain, Texhnolyze, Perfect Blue, Kaiba, etc and searching for similar anime is how I got interested in Boogiepop in the first place.
I got Vampire Hunter D in my radar because of Amano's artwork but then after doing more research I got interested because it seems like it has less focus on plot and more on the atmosphere, and that seems interesting.
I'll look into your recs, thanks.
I'm now also remembering Kino's Journey, which I was somewhat interested.

>>46567848
Do you like Jojo? If answer is yes than you will like Boogiepop for sure. You should try to read Zaregoto if you like mystery.

>>46555679

It's the 20th anniversary of to aru, how do we still not have at least the whole first serie in actual epubs? (Not OCRd)

it's been mentioned this before but the only storefront that sells the digital version of toaru is bookwalker and it's not easily ripped since all the tools and methods are on the down low
if amazon or rakuten sold it, it'd be no issue at all

>>46567848
Boogiepop and other Kadono's series are better than basically anything that gets discussed ITT. Obviously you'd need to know Japanese to get into them properly.

>>46569533
it's pretty easy to rip it yourself but the public tool doesn't get rid of account identifiers, and few people would lend their accounts to someone with the private tools or bother gifting the books to them.

Her never saying it is almost as famous as the line itself.

>>46571735
out of all the series that you would want japanese for, boogiepop is shallow enough that you barely lose anything on an english translation
if you want to play the deep mature read card at least do it with blueball and wolf or galactic homos

Is it just me or we are getting way less English translated volumes now?
Forget new stuff, even ongoing stuff seems to be on translation hiatus.
Smartphone? Kagejitsu? Overlord? Rezero? Seemingly everything no matter how popular it is reached translation hiatus for effectively no reason.
I think the only stuff that still gets releases is JNC shit but even they slowed down, Dendro 21 alone took so long it's going to get released at the end of this month like half a year after the original volume.

>>46573285
that's just an artifact of everything being caught up. stuff gets licensed volume by volume, stuff gets licensed in batches, and you can't license a volume until after it has already been published in japan. then in the us the book distribution model means that stuff has to get listed with distributors like a year in advance for physical releases, it's not physically possible to get them out sooner than that. so what you end up with is book gets published > wait until the next batch of contracts is signed > wait until materials get delivered so they can start work > wait until physical distributors actually order books at the next ordering batch > wait until books end up in stores = shit takes a year to actually end up in english
the reason jnc is less slow is because they skip the physical distribution step but they're still bound by the contract signing step

>>46573322
>and you can't license a volume until after it has already been published in japan
Should mention the only exception being blade and bastard because Drecom and JNC wanted to experiment with simultaneous worldwide release, and they ended up just giving up and releasing volume 3 normally probably because it was too logistically difficult and didn't really improve sales or anything.

>>46573322
>that's just an artifact of everything being caught up.
Except it's not.
Kagejitsu is stuck on volume 4 despite 5 being released December 28, 2022.
Overlord is on 15 when 16 was released on July 29, 2022.
And so on.
>then in the us the book distribution model means that stuff has to get listed with distributors like a year in advance for physical releases
>the reason jnc is less slow is because they skip the physical distribution step but they're still bound by the contract signing step
That really doesn't explain stuff releasing in English at most 6 months after the original just a few years ago, universally, not just JNC.

>>46573363
that's true, yen also only just released virgin road 7 2 years after JP release (so 1 year later than "normal"). no idea what's going on internally, my post only applies to them historically taking about 1 year between JP and EN release and I don't read overlord or kagejitsu so didn't realize those were so late. maybe they're lacking staff, maybe the contract signing stage is also taking too long, it's hard to say without actually being an insider.
>at most 6 months
you mean 6 months at the shortest?

>>46573363
kagejitsu is a funny example because i could get from "know jack shit about japanese" to "can reasonably read and only have to look at a dictionary for one kanji every 2-3 pages" in the time between vol 4 releasing and goypress actually translating it because it was over a literal year
now the gap between vol 5 jp and vol 5 en is not just even bigger than that, the gap between vol 6 jp and vol 6 en may actually reach the 2 year mark at this rate

>>46573426
>maybe the contract signing stage is also taking too long
Doesn't apply to Kagejitsu or Overlord, but apparently Shogakukan's international licensing department has literally one overworked OL handling everything for all series and all languages which makes doing anything with them take 12,000 years.

>>46573440
i wonder if there will be a shoelacer scenario if he gets kicked from the company for being too slow

>>46573363
>That really doesn't explain stuff releasing in English at most 6 months after the original just a few years ago, universally, not just JNC.
The way physical book distribution is set up in the US means there is always a hard 6-12 months between listing your book as available and it actually turning up in the shops, no exceptions. I think JNC has been quicker than 6 months in the past when the timing lines up just right for them to begin work soon after the Japanese release, and Seven Seas also does early digital releases to sidestep the physical distribution delay. Yen Press has been randomly changing release dates of books over and over for years, they might just be having logistical issues.

>>46573285
Regarding Overlord and Rezero, with the former, it's thanks to Kugane taking entire years in-between novels and, per the afterword of 16, this time taking an especially larger break as to release 17 & 18 [ final volumes ], with just a few months in-between their publication [ not literal years ] . Apparently, they'll be fairly sizeable too: think around 600-700 pages.
You then have this year long delays compounded by Yen Press finally getting to them once THEY finally become available; a process taking roughly 6 months--it becomes obvious why the impression of a 'hiatus' becomes a thing.

For ReZero, it's actually not that bad. In fact if anything, as far as EOPs ought to be concerned, both the involvement of WTC, the willing anons in those oft occurring /a/ threads, no matter how pathetic, and YP, precisely --it's surprisingly never deviated-- taking 3 months for a novel...You've got yourself a situation that's as good as it can be. They're concluding arc 6 by July, and starting 7 by around October. ReZero might be the only one thing of every single novel, excepting but a few with translators proclaimed interested in them, that has speedy & consistent releases. You even have all side-stories translated, with IF stories apparently soon to follow eventually. Very rare for licensors to go that far.

Kagejitsu will continue being shot dead forever, sorry if you're interested in it. One release this summer, the other all the way next summer, if trends are anything to go on. Only hope with this one is to 'jop it.

Anyway, part of your potential concern is in the loss of distributors for licensed LNs. I mean it when I say that, if what you're interested in doesn't have an anime, there's a chance you will literally never see it available on you know where. Things are now staying behind pay walls, and favorability to break beyond that grip is something mostly spearheaded by manga-readers.
Being an EOP LN reader is just a sad miserable thing, all the more so since the prevalence of jp epubs everywhere is quickly rising.

It's clear that while non-original anime are useless for everything but openings and endings, their purpose in promotion is effectual, with them bringing reminders and attention to rippers and licensor alike. Kagejitsu would've seen v5 translation in 2030 if it weren't for the 2nd season being a thing.

Lastly, another problem is in popularity of LNs just dropping, never turning a profit. Functional and total illiteracy alike are on the rise, most retarded people will always complain
>WORDS WORDS WORDS
--And newfaggots can't navigate themselves to anything worthwhile: quite the conundrum in an already niche interest.

All in all, to largely answer your question straight and to getting to point, it's because most licensors these days are focusing on Thai/Korean/Chinese BL novels, retarded manga that are infinitely worse than their novel counterparts, and series of the worst sort because somehow, that's what people like.
That's why the translated literature section is now just worthless garbage most of the time. 0 releases for anything good. It's just the new normal and the drought will be something to regularly deal with. Fuck the VN people for saying they're suffering. Those guys are thriving, troubled only, occasionally and temporarily, by steam and its stupid moderating team.

Well, anyway, we're beggars. Can't choose for much but take what we're given at the end of the day, even if the food comes 730 days after we're dead.
I thank you all leakers and rippers, companies and merchants alike. Just wish you wouldn't release shit so speedily and get the good stuff instead, man.

> and series of the worst sort because somehow, that's what people like.
do they? because to me it looks like they keep flopping
even solo leveling had a short lived time in the FOTM spotlight

>>46573183
There are 60+ books in Kadonoverse and like 8 or 9 of them are translated.

>>46573536
It ain't bad, I know. As with Rezero, 3 volumes per month means with 26, it would've taken 78 months total, which is 6 years and a half. Actually, it's commendable, therefore, that they got everything done 1.5 years in advance, but the takeaway is that you could really have utilized that time learning and probably read the novels in JP much faster.

..... But, you're right. 26 volumes, 5 years...that's the equivalent to 5 volumes a year. Pretty impressive.
I kneel.
Hey, in fact, they got Mushoku Tensei: Redundant Reincarnation so that's great.

>>46573615
"attend" doesn't mean they necessarily finish it right? Also that is probably taken from graduates that finished HS in 2021 or some past year and doesn't include older people, so it's not the "higher education rate" for the general population

>>46574166
even by that measurement it's still absurdly high

>>46573509
Honestly the current situation of literature in general in the west is just so weird.
In one hand you have hordes of people ready to spam "This is slop, read a REAL book instead" every time you so much speak positively of anything japanese, and mind you this is not only about LNs, but everything from anime to vidya too.
Yet at the same time western literature publishers are somehow in even more dire straits than LN localizers are, to the point of having to pull moves like literal tiktok viral marketing to get people to read books, and even then there's a massive secondhand book market full of near mint books because people just don't read.
Even libraries are drowning in donated books that nobody actually borrows.
>As always, learning Japanese is the remedy.
>all the more so since the prevalence of jp epubs everywhere is quickly rising.
Yeah pretty much.
More than ever before there's gorillion tools and tutorials to get the basics of grammar, start grinding vocab and get the ball rolling.
And unlike the dark ages of having to cope with proxy people to buy stuff from japan these days you can straight up buy 80% of the LNs you want on amazon and coping with the other 20% with bookwalker and calling it a day.

I don't care about the west, I don't care about the culture wars, I don't care about salesfagging, I don't care what language I'm reading in. I just read what I like because fun things are fun.

For all the shit seven seas gets (and frankly rightfully so) speed can't be said to be one of the justified complaints.
All things considered their releases once looked at in retrospect are way more than properly on time.
It's not exclusive to older stuff or big releases either, the translation may be crap to put it lightly, but evil lord's releases have been surprisingly fast up to the most recent EN volume.

Reading 現代社会悪役令嬢 and it talks about an american hedge fund that took control of some key japanese holdings and just did whatever it wanted, around 1998. Does anyone have any idea which company it is talking about? Googling didn't get me any convincing results

>>46575450
>than I see actual people saying that japanese is too dry
I usually see it from people who are around N4 or low N3 and haven't gotten used to 省略 yet so they conflate verbosity with good writing and think someone saying "That's so kind of you!" is somehow more interesting or well written than 「嬉しい！」. For obvious reasons they're not actually all that common though.

>kakuyomu has chatgpt tags now

>>46580685
Probably a good thing. People were going to upload lazily edited GPT hack jobs with or without the tag. At least with this you can immediately know to not even bother clicking

Wasn't expecting the first Kino Journey book to contain vivid descriptions of genocide but cool. This is the kind of series I can thankfully read here and there in between other stuff without getting autistic about reading the entire thing in one go.

>>46579376
Finished vol 1. Contains a bit of convenient idiocy here and there but still good nevertheless. Does anyone have vol 2 and after? Please share it if you can

>>46553113
>>46553150
Honestly the single biggest proof japanese learning is literally being sabotaged is the fact a non-negligible amount of people think は and が are interchangeable or get confused on which to use at all.
The fact people get taught wrong something so basic should be raising alarms to question basically everything else as well.

didn't ask

Recommend me LNs with good bros who get some girls too, after I read Horizon I want more shit like that.

>>46586094
There's a lot actually, though probably none that got made into one big fucking arc like Tenzou/Mary's case, but Horizon is an outlier, so whatever I guess. I'll just list the ones I like.
Zashiki-Warashi; Male side character ends up with a harem of psychopathic autists from a zaibatsu family
Heavy Object: Male side character ends up with a harem of autistic meidos and a haughty Ohoho
Dendro: Shu will probably ends up with either a JC Coldsteel the edgehog schoolshooter wannabe or a christmas cake gaijin mixed (drinks) martial artist. Figaro will be marrying Hannya by the end of the series. Fatoum is happily married with (literally) Satan.
Mondaiji: Lil guild leader nabbed himself a qt demon lord as girlfriend.
TRPG: Erich's Not!Homobuddies got a cute alchemist waifu.
Baka to Test: Utter. Perfection.
Also, that one LN whose name I forgot with a buff as fuck MC and a demon priestess made by that one author who managed to get his anime adaptation cancelled due to him being too based and angering the chinks has a goofy ladykiller sidekick.
Now anon, pick your poison.

>>46587331
thanks, anon

転生ごとき is a great mystery/horror web novel masked under the normal Isekai genre. Frankly I wanted to find similar recs since I'm close to reaching the latest chapter on なろう. Any novel with a psychotic sister as a main heroine?

>>46584955
I still don't know which to use most of the time.

*flips table*

Does calibre's dedrm still works with kindle pc? It worked the last time I tried a few months back, don't want to spend my money of they rolled out the new drm to jp stuff in the meantime.

i cri everytiem something i like doesn't get an update

>>46593531
been waiting a long time for new releases of maou sama retry and newer jp versions still haven't been pirated

>>46593531
No worse feeling than realising that the vol you were reading is the last published one, which paused in the middle of story with no wn to continue off and the author just went onto write some other series without even formally announcing a cancellation.
I am still seething about すうすく. Vol 5 was a fucking ride and the author's foreward talked about new development with the next gen chars I was fond of. And then that's it, the author didn't even mention the series in the 4 years since the last vol's published, like he erased it out of his memory.

>>46594207
they never talk about cancellation because otherwise some people might not buy already printed books, shit sucks but it is what it is.

>>46594501
Yeah. Makes me feel like shit for a while. That aside just found this さすおに button in one of mahouka's official sites lol.

>>46594928
Forgot the link

Well that was half-gay. I guess he'll meet a giant alien with penis tentacles next that he'll marry in the end, meanwhile the childhood friend will turn into a man and marry this thing

>>46595311
Anon, did you want to post into thread about Sidonia no Kishi or something?

>>46595471
No, no. I intentionally posted it here. Just finished another volume of Reincarnated as a german in fantasy berlin

>>46493778
>[JP] ウィザーズ・ブレイン 18-20+ Encore volume
this got uploaded to zlibrary

>>46594501
Actual true cancellation is extremely rare, it only really happens on the weirdly cutthroat romcom market or when the author fucking dies.
True axings are rare and only happen due to extreme backlash plus extremely low sales or because the author caused a massive political shitstorm on twitter and is using that as an excuse to quit (get fired).
It's rare but not unsurprising to see someone suddenly come back to a half a decade old series, or for someone to take a 1+ year hiatus and suddenly come back like nothing happened.
IIRC just recently magical explorer got back from "basically dead" hiatus to regular volume releases for example.

>>46597269
There are tons of lns Dengeki canned that are not romcoms, if it doesn't sell it's dead.

>>46597466
true canned or did the author just fuck off? because the latter happens on all publishers all the time

>>46597503
They canned, some authors even worked on new series in Dengeki, not talking about old lns at all.

Anyone with better jp than me. I'm not good with euphemisms. 華 here means 白い粉末, as in white stain (cum stain) right? It's a morning after scene but without actual sex, so I'm trying to imagine what actually transpired.

>>46597699
no
it's kiss marks

>>46597699
Logically, alluding to semen is probably too crass for someone who wanted/needed to avoid directly referencing sex

>>46597768
Now that's not a definition I saw in any of the J-J dictionaries I had checked, but it would make more sense. Could you point me in the right direction?

>>46597868
you wont find that kind of shit in a dictionary
https://twitter.com/o3ucco/status/189576259255275521

>>46597875
Huh. Thanks anyway. You'd think they'd have some kind of urban dictionary for all the latest zoomer talk and euphemisms.

actually lol'd at the idea of some dude not fucking a girl he sleeps with but rather just cumming all of over her while she's asleep
and to top it all of she just wakes up in the morning and is like i guess this is my life now lmfao

>>46597890
>urban dictionary
that one is already wrong even in english

>>46597896
>but rather just cumming all of over her while she's asleep
Well it doesn't go like that. The LN is implying they had full on foreplay without the actual act, and the heroine's internal monologue in the morning after scene notes MC has a satisfied sleeping face as opposed to a full on horny but holding back face he had the night before. Since she was undressed at some point, I thought she at least gave him a handjob or something.

4 days until the greatest yuri novel. Graduation which can only mean confession. My expectations are great.
