Definitely. We have to still assume LN is its own niche, but if its a success for them, which I hope it is, I'll continue buying as will friends. And assuming New Testament is not apart of it, I hope they can acquire that too eventually.

Welp looks like they're never catching up.

I don't think the aim is to catch up. Like he states here:

>16:59:21 <bay|SC14|Yen> Here's the thing about release schedules, we know everyone wants it at once
>16:59:32 <bay|SC14|Yen> For the translators and editors, it's not feasible
>17:00:15 <bay|SC14|Yen> In addition to the hardcore fans, there are casual fans, and it's not a good thing to push it all out into the retail market and let the hardcore fans buy it up
>17:00:39 <bay|SC14|Yen> There have been attempts with light novels hitting the market that have ended unsuccessfully, we've been the most successful
>17:00:46 <bay|SC14|Yen> we understand people want it out,
>17:01:00 <bay|SC14|Yen> and we want to make the book as sucessful as possible
>17:01:12 <bay|SC14|Yen> if there are opportunites to speed it up, we will, but i won't make promises

Scheduling is important.

Yen Press needs to burn in a sea of flames

Hopefully Js06 continues his translations. Otherwise I'll be depressed

[Wandering Soul]

I truly hope that Js06 can contiune translating this series but for now how accurate is the news that each volume will be worth 10 dollars? I hope it is not too big a hit on my wallet.

$10 is accurate, they haven't said anything, but that's how much it costs up here in Canada at Chapters/Indigo, at least...

[Birdway]

Anyone knows what Js06 has to say about this?

On that note, I doubt this'll affect Js06 much. Now he can focus on translating other works.

[Birdway]

Still, you don't know his opinion.

Well, it's not like it'll be anymore difficult to procure raws and it's not like he has to translate it for us to read it himself.

[Xagnam]

Damn it.

Js06 better have a secret site up that I can read his translations on.

[Birdway]

Does he has his own site? I want to know what he said.

I'm actually happy Index novels are finally coming here. It makes me happy rather than sad, though I wonder what'll happen with NT 10 so close to release.

2 Volumes a month is a pretty good pace. If it's good quality, that would be really nice.

[ACertainStark]

He hasn't posted yet about it. It's up to him if he wants to continue.

[OverNOut]

Any idea whether NT will be taken down too?
If not then we'll be safe for a year or more, I doubt they'll lisensed NT before OT translations are completed.

It's 1 volume every 4 months.

Actually, I misinterpreted that. Those 24 volumes include other series like Accel World and Sword Art Online. According to a previous post, we're getting 1 volume every 4 months. They said they'll try to speed it up if they can.

Is NT even a different series that needs to be licensed separately? In any case, translation won't be taken down until a few months before the first volume's release so we can at least expect to see NT 10 translated.

[dniv]

1 Volume every 4 months is good too. I just have to wait 4 years for the good volumes to start to be translated if it is reliably continued.

Not sure that's why I'm asking. I don't know any LN with a sequel so maybe its considered a separate series (really hoping for this so that we'll continue to get more NT volumes) or maybe its not.

[BW95]

If it really goes 1 volume every 4 months then it'll take 7 years to finish!

Then if NT doesn't get taken down, we'll might just finish NT before OT translation is finish.

[Goldzero]

i have been having such a terrible time this month due to serious depression but now this, this just destroyed the little happiness i just had this moment. the happiness it took a whole dam month to get back.


well, not much to complain about at the end. all i can hope for is that NT stays then i am fine even though i well probably never finish the side stories.
