    So I've been patiently waiting for awhile now. Not as long as i have for other novels, manga, etc. but i was feeling the bite of curiousity beginning. what happened with Genjitsushugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki and why does the newest chapter skip the entire previous volume and have a side note at the top of the page with the translator saying that anyone who asks what happened should go die. Any assistance appreciated

    this goes to the newest chapter which just came out today. you will also see the notes at the top which ask readers not to ask what happened.

    if you go to novelupdates page on genji... it only goes up to volume 5. it used to have up to volume 5 chapter 3 part 1 but its locked and the link goes to a broken page.
    novelupdates page: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/genjitsushugi-yuusha-no-oukoku-saikenki/
    broken page of ch 3 part 1

    Edit: Oh the tranlation has been taken by HeroTranslation, I see death threat at the top page

    This novel is licensed by J-Novel club and is far ahead of these fan TLs. J-novel is working on Vol 9 currently, i believe.

    Which begs 2 questions: Why are they english TL'ing a licensed novel that's far ahead of the fan TL and why does NU continue to list them?

    @Tony @Parth37955 and any other admins, got any answers for that second question?

    I'd imagine the translator prolly had some problems with the plot of volume 5 and decided to skip it (it also got deleted at vol 5 on syosetu, so might have something to do with that as well) and then chose a slighty, aggressive, way of announcing it.

    Yeah, in english. HERE
    Vols 1-8 are fully released and Vol 9 is in prepub which begs the question of why is the TL being continued

    Cuz no one wants to pay to read a novel online.
    Pretty sure NU got no problems with hosting people who TL licensed works, right? As long as they satisfy the other requirements for posting.

    I can see that. the start up of that volume seemed about the same level of bad as the mushoku tensei story dealing with rudeus' son and his maid sister.

    There are other ways, you know.

    NU's actually very careful about novels and english licensing when it comes to western novel licensers. So i dont understand how this one has gotten past the admins for so long
