Thanks as always

Thanks! Here is my usual list of added, changed, and missing light novels from Ganba's batches for those interested; https://pastebin.com/AwK9wr5f *Will update the missing books from July accordingly when I have some more time later today*

I tink that "KonoSuba - An Explosion on This Wonderful World! - Fantastic Days" is wrongly named as is actually "Konosuba - God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! - Fantastic Days"

Thanks! @Oakminati 'looking at that list...' Funny, they claim drm is to deter piracy, but majority of the books missing is from one of the few drm-free publishers... /shrugs

@PH13 It is, thanks for the heads up.

Saving 80,000 gold file is named volume 3, but it is volume 2.

@sorvani the volume number is correct, volume 1 and 2 where published as an omnibus.

@PH13 that is *compared to* the Japanese release but as the cover shows 2, then it is volume 2, not matter if its an omnibus or not, we wouldn't know otherwise without comparing to the Japanese releases. In any case, cover is leading, so sorvani is correct that it should be volume 2 as that is shown on the cover AND listed as volume 2 on the Kodansha website; https://kodansha.us/product/saving-80000-gold-in-another-world-for-my-retirement-2-light-novel Your case would be true if the cover actually showed volume 1-2 for example, as some omnibus manga volumes have. But in this case, English publication is just different from Japanese publication and can't go make up our own numbering, imho.

Thanks as always

What PH13 said is true. Volume 2 of the EN release corresponds to volume 3 of the JP release. Kodansha USA is just retarded. Also I think I finally got a copy of Wicked City v3, so I'll probably release those in the near future.

As I said that is if you directly compare it to the Japanese publication but for the English publication it is volume 2 simple as that. Or is volume 3 is gonna be renamed to 5 next time as well, all while the cover clearly shows 3?

We'll correct the name to be the same as the English covers.

Thank you so much!!

Go with the english publication numbering. We cant add our own numbering here, it only creates confusion. I’ll skip this release for 80k gold until this numbering issue is addressed. Otherwise thanks for the monthly batch.

It appears that J-Novel Club has been far and away the single biggest source of missing books over the past 4 months, is there any particular reason why?

thanks for the updates

@PianoPenguin It's all a matter of someone buying and ripping them. Perhaps the missing books aren't of any interest to anyone who would rip it. JNC's catalog kinda sucks anyway (they keep picking up series that have been cancelled in Japan, probably at the behest of Kadokawa or something).

Was expecting black summoner vol 13 be in this update, was released 2 weeks ago?

@Catson No-one's uploaded it yet here.

Any chance on adding The Perfect Insider?

@Persona5RoyalOnSwitch https://nyaa.si/view/1708486 It's by Breakthrough Bandwagon Books though, which means there's a good chance that the translation is complete nonsense.

Is the DDL list dead?

@FerGdF It might be down every once in a while. Hard to mitigate downtime.
