is it J-Novel's goal to ultimately obtain every single isekai they can
(I'd say every isekai, but some are off the table as they were picked up by other companies...)

Only the ones with cute blondes on the cover!

But seriously this book came high up on the recommendations section of our forum.

Even though a lot of the stuff you guys license doesn't interest me personally, I think it's really cool that you're willing to look into stuff that people have suggested. It's neat that you're open to suggestions and will actually take fans input seriously.

The e-book for the first volume will be available for purchase in late July.

Umm I seriously doubt that, seeing as the final part will be released to members on July 16. It will most likely come out 3 weeks after that, so early August.

Sorry, that was a mistake on our PR, It's early August, 8/5 to be precise.

I'll check it out but it still won't fill the whole in my heart left by New Life+

I automatically assumed this was meant to be a replacement for New Life+.

Looks like in Anime Expo we are going to get a lot of announcements apart from this one:

I hope that Mushoku Tensei gets licensed.

I don’t know if I’d be interested but people on the JNovel forums made it sound pretty darn interesting so now I’m excited to read it.

The news broke about that only like 2 weeks ago, it would have been impossible to license this series as a "replacement" and announce it with half a volume translated in that time.

It's been in the pipeline for a month or two usually, by the time we announce it.
