This looks like shit about as generic as you can get Purple,blue and green look especially boring, red and witch look like they'll be the most popular

Fuck off old timer.

Seriously what the fuck was with the series LN ending? It was legit that bad
>>157004390
Yes, it's kind of shit, though I don't remember any of it.
I forgot this existed.
>>157004609
Everyone did.
>>157004531
How'd it end? I'm only familiar with the manga which just kinda ended in the middle of Worst Girl being kidnapped on a dreadnought
Purple is so much better in the LN than in the anime. Green is still my favourite.
Blue best girl.
>>157004747
That's a weird way to spell worst.
>>157004257
They're probably just stealing the translation of a fully completed series and changing a few words and then a bunch of retards will buy it getting them some easy $$$.
>>157004662
Universe ended, MC became the new god, the annoying one died at some point before the universe ended so he brought her back. Or something retarded like that.
>>157004531
did it end with MC becoming God and chatting with the author of the LN? I think I read that years ago and never bothered to confirm.
>>157004609

>>157004257
The worst part is that J-Novel translations will probably be worse than js06's, assuming they don't just copy it.
>>157004502"Hey best buddy, we're all going to a new universe or something. Taking your girlfriend with me. Good luck here alone eh?"
Akuto was the worst best friend.
Peterhausen > everyone else
>>157004257
I think Jnovel is just being lazy and looking up whatever shit is on baka tsuki.
There are a lot of novels that have never been translated at all so I don't understand the desire to license something that is completely translated like Color Wars
>>157004860
>A relic from a time when /a/ actually created shit instead of making a million general threads
Feels bad man
Just looking at the picture, I can tell purple is the ojou ohoho type, green is the cold kuudere, red is the stupid airhead, blue is the straight-laced dedicated to justice sword wielder honor student and yellow is a bratty kid.
From this analysis, I can guarantee that blue is the best girl without watching this shit. There I resolved your color war.
>>157004662
A bunch of existentialist shit. Akuto and everyone transcend into some higher plane of existence or some dumb shit like that except Hiroshi(the sidekick that ended up becoming the hero), who becomes the new Law of Identity(which is basically the god of the world, since the world is just the Law of Identity's dream or something).
It's a bunch of nonsense and the ending is awful.
>>157004531
>>157004662
>>157004835
>>157004847
Can't link to you right now because Baka Tsuki is deleting everything already but one of the author's afterwords has him mention for no reason that news of his ex girlfriend died and this made him emo and have an existential crisis over the idea of death so his ex girlfriend's death influenced the LN ending.
>>157005097
>Blue best
That's where you're wrong kiddo.
>>157004828
>>157004879
That's the thing, with Rokujouma they hired the fan translator and got him to continue from where he left off and edit his earlier work, whereas with this they apparently couldn't find any way to contact js06 and had to start from scratch with a new translation.
>>157005067
majority of their shit was never on BT and only had shitty MTLs before they grabbed them.
>>157004860
Don't forget the sequel country wars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwwBBUdwCZw
>>157005220
is that still going on even?
>>157005217
>>157005148
Also with everything else including Rokujouma they only deleted one volume at a time, but with Daimao BT decided to nuke everything for some reason.
>>157005031
After he died and the novel just hit the reset button I stopped reading. Skimmed through a couple of random chapters and it just couldn't reignite my interest.
>>157005097
You're close. Purple isn't an ojou ohoho type, she's a Demon King follower that's obsessed with the MC, Green is kind of a kuudere but not cold, she tends to make a lot of jokes and teases the MC a lot, she just can't express emotions because she's an artificial being that technically doesn't have a soul or sense of self, Yellow isn't bratty and is one of the more serious characters in the show except for the generic meltdown when someone mentions her height or breasts. Red and blue are correct to the T.
>>157005267
They did the same with To Aru. At least they kept up NT since it is technically a new series by loose definitions.
>>157005267
Guy who runs JNC actually told them to just take down volume 1, they decided to kill the whole thing anyway because it's their standard policy. With Rokujouma they made an exception because the translator had a deal with the licensors, with Colour Wars they could not contact js06 so BT just covered their asses.
>>157004257
Why was it called color wars when Green is so obviously the best?
>>157005097
Blue is strait-laced and justice but she is the easily offended violent tsundere subtype, not the stable and Noble type.
>>157005217
It worked for Crunchyroll.
Might aswell apply a winning concept on LNs.
>>157004257
>What are Jnovel playing at?
Amazon Prime ebooks
>>157005852
Seasonal anime which you can watch almost instantly after they have aired in Japan are totally different from translating old light novels that have a fan translation already because they are too afraid to get something different.
>>157005501
>could not contact js06
I highly doubt they even tried since it's quite easy, especially if you know 4chan, and JNC founder is visiting 4chan.
>>157006145
>I highly doubt they even tried since it's quite easy
JNC boss actually came into Baka-Tsuki discord begging for people to help him find the guy because he is a robot or something.
>>157006303
He should have given him another project.
>>157006145
>since it's quite easy, especially if you know 4chan
Lurking in raildex threads is not a reliable or timely way to find js06.
>>157006145
>>157006244
>>157006267
>>157006303
js06 isn't dead. He is translating rated 18 light novels instead.
Baka Tsuki doesn't care about Rated 18 Light Novels and js06 doesn't seem like the type to hang out on the Baka Tsuki Discord.
Remember, js06 has mentioned before that if Index gets DMCAed and he can't translate Index anymore, he wanted to help translate a Rance Eroge VN.
Makes me think js06 would hang out more on a Rance VN General than a Baka Tsuki Discord.
>>157006403
See >>157006433
Baka Tsuki discord doesn't seem like the type of place js06 would hang out in.
>>157006403
Yeah, it's insanely time consuming to leave a message in the thread while saying who you are.
>>157006433
Yeah, there's no way he would join some shit like B-T's discord. Probably.
>>157006457
>>157006475
I don't think he come to the discord thinking he would be there, just hoping to find people who would know how to get in touch.
Let's all agree the manga was better? Can we all just put it out there?
>>157005266
It changed publishers but I think so
Are they trying to kill fanfictions by hiring all the best fan translators?
I half hope they dont get js06 since it would slow down his traslation speed .
Dropped the anime when purple got dickedgang raped
>>157006145
> because they are too afraid to get something different.
They already got a fair number of 'different' shit that was either untranslated or only had a shit/incomplete/slow TL, this is their first experiment with trying to get nostalgia market.
>>157006403
Just go to the fucking kawakami thread on /jp/.
>>157007273
Except in this case the mango is better. Mostly because it didn't go full retard.>>157007321

> Now this.
What's going on here? From popular shit on Syosetsu to crap that has already finished or just up to date on TL, why is this happening?
>>157007485
Because they still only have two publisher partners who are willing to license digital only shit, so they don't exactly have a wide field to pick from.
>>157007485
Good thing shit I like is too obscure for anyone to ever license.
>>157007485
I wish they picked better isekai with dead translations like Parallel World Pharmacy.
Feels like they are just picking random isekai with active translations instead.
>>157007790
The active translations are usually pretty poor quality though, or their WN versions are utter rubbish.
I want to dick Hiroshi-kun
>>157008037
Worst girl. Any time he said ANIKI, I vomited a little inside.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0OnFnSXnmU
>>157005852
I'm still, to this day, butthurt over what Crunchyroll did to get started.
I don't care if they somehow magically become the best fucking thing in the world, they will still never get a cent from me because of their goddamn hypocrisy.
>>157008297
>not wanting to hear Hiroshi moan "Aniki wa Suki da" as you manhandle him
You lead a sad existence senpai
They should license novels like:
Sekai no Owari no Sekairoku
Hyouketsu Kyoukai no Eden
Shiro no Koukoku Monogatari
The Country of the Fallen Dragon King and the Perishing Witches
>>157009143
Fujoshis go and stay go.
>>157007485
You forgot the random unknowns like Mixed Bathing and Pay to Win.
Apparently it was HJ who asked them to pick up both Smartphone and Invaders though.
>>157004257
I actually liked this show, but they ruined it...
>>157006433
js06 was at one point supposedly translating Rance IX.
>>157011321
It was okay until that wtf ending.
>>157009263
Yes, we need more Isekai Battle/War Stories licensed like Shinwa Densetsu no Eiyuu no Isekaita.
Most of the isekai being translated right now are like peaceful slice of life isekai
>>157004257
Green was best. Good thread guys.
>>157004257
Why didn't anyone care about purple being used goods?
>>157012309
Why not just ordinary senki stories without the isekai part?
>>157004390
You cucked yourself with the first greentext.It turns out the male friend is a superhero.
>>157012555
Because she wasn't Green, and therefore didn't matter.
>>157012733
Green was a meme character.
>>157012555
Because she was created to appeal to a truly intelligent gentleman like myself. And a truly intelligent gentleman like myself does not bother himself with such childish nonsense.i personaly think it was hot
>>157004835
What about the girls? Did he fuck someone?
>>157006708
Manga are often better than novels since they parse out all the bullshit and replace it with dynamic visuals.
>>157004257
Whew, I'm glad I downloaded it before it happened.
>>157004835
Why do majority of LN's always have the shittiest endings? It's like the author doesn't know what to do so they go full retard.
>>157015702
B-T are just being their usual pussy faggots, the publisher wasn't even requesting a full nuke, just a volume-by-volume removal.
Peterhausen is best girl.
>>157015812
Nips always have trouble with endings. Mostly this happens because they don't have ending planed at all and just go with the flow until ratings fall or they grow tired of it and scramble to finish it somehow.
>>157014648
he canon harem marries blue, orange, and purple in the alternate universe he created. it has actual sex scenes too that arent a tease.
he also created a nearly infinite number of alternate realities he tried out too. they had many lifetimes worth of fug.
green and red were left in the "real wolrd" in a capsule floating through space. yellow is in the alt reality I think but never really marries into the harem. sorry best and worst girls but personal fav is purple anyway and boy did she win. got her omnipotent demon lord sama to notice her and give the D.
>>157016165
The nips really are horrendous at endings
>>157015934
>>157016261
Off the top of my head I think Zashiki Warashi and Owari no Chronicle both ended satisfyingly.
>>157012555
I'm pretty sure she wasn't used goods. Dark green was though.
Green > Yellow > red > Blue > Purple
Lolicons UNITE!
So they say that the fucking bird thing is always 100% accurate in determining what job you are most suited for, but how does it take into account whether there are actually openings in the job market for your supposed ideal profession?
>>157016377
You're talking about things written by Kamachi.exe and Kawakami, you can't compare them to the rest of the LN writing chaff.
Old translation and new translation side by side. Without checking, can you tell which one is by js06 and which one is by a so-called "professional" translator?
>>157013337
This is a meme board.
>>157016165
>orange
what? I don't remember anyone with orange hair in the show
>>157017865
she was never in the show because it only covered 3 volumes. orange is yoshi. she is a tech guru hikkimori that always wears goggles on top of her orange/red hair. she appears in vol 5 I think and accidentaly isekei's the entire school into a SOA clone alternate reality and she crossdresses as her yaoi self insert
>>157016722
Because Japanese college guarantees you a place in the workforce
Instead of a sorting hat or bird, they do bone-readings
>>157018566
What if you die before getting the job?
>>157018566
>>157018632
the bird is connected to the "gods" of the setting which is like a pantheon of ever present mana/radio wave AI's that allows the citizens to use "magic" with the same mana waves as long as they are baptised by that "god". once baptised they gods basically have access to your entire history and future based on the information obtained. its more like they are litteraly reading the "future". however the whole idea behind this series and later volumes is the ideas of "lives/stories" being predetermined/prewritten and even if you have omnipotance and create an infinite number of alternate universes you will never find meaning unless you fifull what the original "author" of your "story" wrote for you. kinda breaking the fourth wall withought actually breaking the fourth wall and talking to the reader directly. Akuto becomes omnipotant god but he still is a character in a japanese shonen harem light novel.....the author gets way too many redpills mixed up and crams then into the last few volumes
We can at least all agree that Blue was the worst?
>>157006708
The manga ending was the best
>>157015812
Because when you write a novel, the ending comes up pretty fast in your mind. LN's on the other hand can change the ending on a whim due to pressure from readers or editors who can't a certain girl to win or a certain ending.
While you might get sugestions on a novel, they never will tell you to change the entire outcome of the novel to pander to a certain crowd of people.
>>157019274
Can't have*
>>157019274
To add to this point.
The black smith LN got changed because the readers went ape-shit over MC getting raped to the point that it was retconned. It was a bad series, but if the author can't do what he wants with the story, then you know that the industry is fucked beyond repair.
>>157018934
Blue would have been fine if she was more like, say, Meiya. I don't know how you fuck up a blue haired sword autist character so hard.
>>157019467
>The black smith LN got changed because the readers went ape-shit over MC getting raped
Please, Anon, tell me what happened in more detail.
>>157018934
>>157019469
blue was fine as a token tsun- but her one joke of being embaressed got old fast. She is in the canon 3 girl harem and she gets tamed by the cock in the end tho. becomes more a maid you can fuck if anything. perfect sub.
red was worst. fuck her rice fetish. fuck her invisibility and flying. fuck her backstory being the setting's true 'god". can anyone make a more annoying character? im glad she got universe cucked.
>>157016557She was gang fucked in an episode by students both boys and girls
>>157019467
>if the author can't do what he wants with the story, then you know that the industry is fucked beyond repair
I think it has more to do with japs being spineless. If your going to do something that will obviously piss people off, like raping the mc, expect fans to get angry. Instead of sticking with his decision and continuing on the author crumbles at the first sign of push back.
>>157006433
>He is translating rated 18 light novels instead.
He what where?
I need more information.
>>157019883
Sauce?
>>157005180
Green is superior in every way.
>>157019627
She gets raped by one or two guys (Can't remember which) blacksmith-kun goes ape shit and kills both of them in a horrible way.
She now has a trauma that was suposed to be part of the story. But nips want their waifu to be pure so they retconned the rape into "Atempted rape". This fucked up the story since it was suposed to be the focus in the next few volumes.
That all went out the window.
>>157020263
Did the rape happen in the anime?
>>157020049
At the end of episode 2 or 3
>>157020309
Nope, also changed.
>>157020006
check his B-T user page, I think there is a link to the blog there
So far he translated five volumes of Shishunki na Adam, the first volume of a gender bender series, and a few volumes of the harem series.
>>157017267
I give up.
>>157004257
I rememebr dropping this one a long time ago. Does it get better?
>>157025832
No you nincampoop if you don't say what you didn't like about it then no it doesn't get better.
If Jnovel translates kyoAni bunko's LNs, I would be really happy.
I will just buy the member for the sake reading those.
They might as well just rename everyone with their Color Wars names, not like anyone can remember their actual names anyway
>>157026416
The only name I remember is Peterhausen.
>>157026416
>>157017267
Right is js06. He didn't use the term government, he used officially delegated.
>>157027132
Yamada Elf was right, when you doing it for hobby you might as wall given your all, while when you doing it for work you try only as much as you getting paid.
