I make it 35 (or 36 if you count Cross Infinite World's release of a web novel), and that's including 2 Seven Seas releases of J-Novel Club titles. But yes, it's the biggest week of the biggest month in English light novel history - we've been in the high 20s before but this is the first time in the 30s.

Behind on SAO and Devil is a Part Timer, but really need to do some catching up...

Picking up KonoSuba as I type this and will probably get Killing Slimes later. When things calm down and I get through some of my stockpile I'll pick up Fireworks and Defeating the Demon Lord.

Meanwhile, my stockpile was already close to toppling over when I added Fireworks to it and I've just ordered Defeating the Demon Lord.

Seven Seas have licensed:

Skeleton Knight in Another World/Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu
- Originally a web novel published on Shousetsuka ni Narou
- Published in Japan under Overlap Novels
- The web novel seem to have been released at the same time as the light novels for the last 3 volumes.
- Series complete in Japan at 8 volumes

This week's releases:
Seraph of the End: Guren Ichinose: Catastrophe at Sixteen 4
Demon King Daimaou Act 7 (E-Book ONLY)

Yes, apparently that Seraph of the end hadn't been dropped with just 1 volume left. It's just a 22.5 month gap between volumes.
 
Vertical Inc have licensed:
Voices of a Distant Star//Hoshi no Koe: Ai no Kotoba/Hoshi wo Koeru
- It is very confusing that Vertical seem to be releasing this under the same title as the English title of the film, given that there was a novel version of the OVA but THIS IS NOT IT.
- This is a version of the story told from a different perspective.
- Written by Kanou Arata, the same author as Kimi no Na wa. Another Side: Earthbound
- Originally published under ENTERBRAIN
- Scheduled for release in July 2019

Sol Press have licensed:

Why Shouldn't a Detestable Demon Lord Fall in Love?!/Kiraware Maou ga Botsuraku Reijou to Koi ni Ochi Nani ga Warui
- Published in Japan under HJ Bunko
- The first volume only came out in Japan in August. It is the only volume in the series to date. I'm not sure whether or not there will be any more.
- The author has published several series in Japan before, none of which (including this one) have proved particularly financially successful, and none of which have previously received English releases.

Redefining the Meta at VRMMO Academy/VRMMO Gakuen de Tanoshii Makaizou no Susume
- Originally a web novel serialised on Shousetsuka ni Narou
- Both versions are ongoing, with the light novel series on 5 volumes having overtaken the web novel.
- The light novel is published in Japan under HJ Bunko.
- Another author with several series under their belt for whom this is their first to get an English language release


No details regarding dates are yet available for either title, although they have announced that the second volume of both titles they licensed previously will be out in December.
