List of Light Novels Released in English

A third volume of Occultic;Nine is coming this summer.

I didn't forget to move it to the Completed section, I just have amazing foresight :p
 
Really glad to hear about O;9, as I'm sure J-novels are considering it was one of their first pick-ups.
 
As mentioned in the News forum,

J-Novel Club has licensed for e-book release ONLY:

Clockwork Planet
- Published under Kodansha Ranobe Bunko, making this the first J-Novel Club license not published by Hobby Japan or Overlap.
- The series is the second light novel series by Kamiya Yuu (after No Game No Life, which has been licensed by Yen Press), and the first one not illustrated by himself - instead being illustrated by Shino (Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi, Lance N' Masques)
- Series ongoing at 4 volumes, but very slow releases for a light novel series, given that the first volume came out more than 4 years ago.
- The series has an ongoing anime adaptation.
- Parts 1-3 of the first volume are available to read now.
 
Belatedly updating the thread, due to exams. Amazon has the Disappearance of Hatsune Miku down for 13th June. Does anybody have a copy?

Pretty sure Sound was pushed back to early July.

Still 20th June.
Sound! Euphonium (light novel)

And, as is usual for these sorts of things, some people have got their copies already.

Some retailers (including amazon and amazon-owned retailers like book depository) put dates that are later than the actual release dates if they don't expect to be able to ship copies that are ordered now by the actual release date. This isn't the release itself being late - it's just them not getting copies in on time, or them not ordering enough copies to meet demand. Other retailers will still have stock in at the right time.

Might be worth noting that the last one is exclusive to BookWalker (I believe).

I'll be picking up Combat Baker and more Monogatari. It makes me die a bit inside knowing how far behind I am with Log Horizon though (although admittedly it's not as bad as I thought).. ^^;
 
Yen Press have licensed:

Goblin Slayer Year 1
- Does anyone have any info about this? I can't find any record that it actually exists (yet).

I'll probably buy I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years, The Hero and His Elf Bride Open a Pizza Parlor. I'm tempted by A Sister's All You Need but will wait on reviews.

Interesting to the type of stuff Yen has licensed. A lot of it seems better suited to digital only, J-novel release rather than full print runs.

To be honest, I just rolled my eyes at 90% of it. Looks like we might have finally have gone through most of the good light novels...
