NEWS: Sol Press Licenses Chivalry of a Failed Knight Light Novel Series

they don’t sell books anywhere other than Amazon and their own store (and some stuff is exclusive to their store.

It's always good to see something I'm interested in reading get licensed.

Now if only someone would license the Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero, Lord Marksman and Vanadis, or Tokyo Ravens Novels and license rescue Moribito and Scrapped Princess.

I'm very happy that this is licensed but i'm very unhappy because it's been licensed by a company that seems incapable of releasing anything in even a remotely timely fashion and have only released a single volume of only one novel since may.

Lets hope the fan TL picks up the pace again, just to make a mockery of Sol Press's release speed

Also, we sure this is coming out in print on November 16? Super surprising that this would be the case...seeing as that's only 12 days away and no place online seems to have it up for order...

I believe November 16 is the ebook, and paper books will eventually come out later. Not to mention, they don’t sell books anywhere other than Amazon and their own store (and some stuff is exclusive to their store.

The company will release the first three volumes simultaneously digitally and in print on November 16, and will release subsequent volumes "in set intervals."

Lord Marksman and Vanadis, or Tokyo Ravens Novels and ... Scrapped Princess.

I like it when series get licensed but I hate it when it's done late into the game where many volumes are out and have been translated by other groups. Messes everything up when you're a good bit in with a series. This is why I hope High School DxD doesn't get licensed despite wanting to support the creator more. So many volumes are out so waiting for the licensed versions to be released will take a long ass time.

Well, I'm going to get the PDFs for the remaining volumes for Rakudai before it gets taken down.

Lord Marksman I would like to see. Especially since the manga only did what the anime did as well as extra stuff the anime skipped on from those early arcs.

Sol Press is an incredibly small VN localizer, that due to the fact that localizing VNs is never profitable, also does random manga and LNs in order to remain in the black. Hence, their releases for everything are pretty random and inconsistent with little communication as is essentially the standard with VN localizations. It is very strange that they're the ones that got Rakudai.

Fantranslators for this have already dropped it and removed it from their site so that's not happening.

Thrown me in as well for people that really want a Vanadis localization. It's the LN I'm most interested in that doesn't really have a fantranslation. Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero is probably impossible because the author never finished the LN and probably never will. Shinmai Maou would be a better pick.
