| No it's not. The web novel was completed online, but its published version is currently at the beginning of the 5th arc (23 volumes +2 short stories volumes) , which will be the last arc; but it's still missing around 8 volumes to complete the arc so it won't be finished before 2022. |

So the original novel is a web novel? The original version is a web novel on shousetsuka ni narou, yes. |

| MAL only references officially published material, so things like amateurs publishing on websites like narou will probably never be referenced here. Considering that most of the story is now available in proper novel format, I would advise against reading it in web novel format as well anyway. |

| hmm, well, considering the amount of content remaining it will certainly take a good while, but the official translation isn't really what I would call slow either. |

It looks like it was translated using Google Translate :) So I will wait for the official translated volumes, which will take forever. The web novel translation available is a machine translation so I'd avoid that at all costs. Also, the novel is published by JNC, which is literally the best publisher for LNs in the west right now. They release 1 volume per 2 months which is lightning quick if compared to publishers like Yenpress. You can also subscribe to JNC and read the chapters as they're translated so that you don't have to wait for long. You can read 3 chapters per week which is amazing for those who tend to forget stuff over months. |

I've recently discovered this LN thanks to the anime. I had no idea such great work existed, and quite frankly I'm disappointed that I binged all of the available material. It frustrates me that I would literally have to wait something like 5 years to wait for the English publications. It would actually be faster to just learn Japanese and then read it directly. Is the completed web novel English translated? Are there fan translations of the existing novels beyond the eighth book? I absolutely must read more if there is, so any information would be appreciated. |

It's like the best bread you can find and put something horrible on it because you didn't have anything better to put on right now; that's such a waste. If you're not already subscribed, you know you can subscribe (I think it's like 5$ per month? to Jnovel club to get amongst other thing the possibility of reading online each new chapter as it gets updated. I think there's one new chapter of honzuki every monday or something like that. Also even without it the english version has something like one new volume every one month and half / 2 months so it's fast. No need to rush, it's not going anywhere. |

I'll try the Jnovel club as you suggest, but while the novels might not be going anywhere I wouldn't want to put this story off indefinitely as it gets translated slowly from my perspective. I may have to seriously consider picking up Japanese after all... |
Reply to Yadava98
@Zefyris I am reading now part 4 and I was wondering at which point the story was. So the story is actually complete and they are just adapting it in LN version? If yes, how many parts amd volumes should have in total?
| @Yadava98 The final volume of this series will be published this December in Japan. It will be the 33rd volume of the main series, with Part 5 being the last part, containing 12 volumes (part 4 was 9 volumes long). There's also 3 (supposedly a 4th is coming) short stories volumes published to add to those 33 if you want to read everything. ... Now, on top of this, the author has already written on the side a side story with Hannelore as the protagonist, and she said she has plan for a sequel of the main series later one; so there may ultimately even MORE bookworm to come after the end of the series and the 4th short story volume. But nothing is certain yet for us outside of the end of the main series this December. |
