Well since this is thread about LN I'll post this here.

I hope that however small it is Rokujouma will be more well known to the world.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

There's a licensing thread for that stuff, which I already posted that in.

It does. But Monday releases often get sales during the weekend before in practice. Plus Kadokawa's Sneaker/Ruby/Beans bunko labels always used to actually release earlier than the official release date every single month. They seem to have stopped doing this recently but there are probably still some stores still continuing with it. Migawari Hakushaku to Shuumaku no Tsuzuki falls into the same category.

Seems to be a rare case of a weird and attention-grabbing title actually working.

Option? You mean othe Fate spin-offs?
Well thsi summer there will be an adaptation of Fate/Apochrycha Light Novel series in Fall there will be the first Heaven's Feel and Prsima Illya movies and in winter there'll be an adapation of a video game Fate/Extra Last Encore.
And that's why we call 2017 the Year of Fate ;D
But it cannot stop here the show must go on! There still so much anime that can be made xD

About the KonoSuba part, does that mean we can expect a strong week2 since this isn't a "real" w1 ?
Kind of surprised the sales are this low for it, hence the question

Damn, didn't see Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka? get into the rankings.

Did the anime managed to give it any kind of boost?

Week april 16-23 the series as a whole sold for at least 9k, and week april 24-30 it sold for at least 7k5 apparently.
First volume isn't selling enough to go over the threshold, so it's in for less than half of that total.

So was there any boost? I don't track LN sales so I don't know.

Well those 9k and 7,5 k are from the anime obviously, since that series has no new volume ( it ended already). So it has a boost, just not enough per volume to appear on the per volume ranking.

Oh that's good to hear. I was thinking more in the line of the boost in Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Mou Ichido dake, Aemasu ka? as well since it's ongoing but I guess I'm expecting too much.

Was any of their volume released recently though? o.O

If no, why would they be in the rankings?

@Lonely-Wolf
@TitanAnteus
@Jiharo

My point was that neither have seen a new volume out in the past month, and have no reason to be seeing a boost right now. Very few series see volumes do that - you're looking Mahouka tier or above. Juuou Mujin no Fafnir would have to be at SAO level of sales to still be on the rankings now.

On the other hand both those series are at the "rank one week* then disappear" level.
*or possibly two depending on what day they come out on.

I wasn't refuting your point at all. .__.

I was asking Titan was any of the series he mentioned recently released or not because I know they aren't that popular at all so they won't remain in rankings for long after the volume is released.
