i recently read 9 volumes of the LN and i read in a reddit page that Jinshi and Maomao had a proper kiss in vol.9 but there was only a kiss on Jinshi's cheek? and as for Volume 5, i read people say that Jinshi forced himself on Maomao but what i read was that he was strangling her but then Maomao started kissing him and it got me so confused, like am i reading a wrong translation? did i miss something? or it was implied and i just didnt get it?
and also as far as i'm aware, there are 14 volumes but i could only find 10 volumes in english

Volume 5 was worded a touch weird. But I believe what happened is that Jinshi was trying to force a kiss onto Maomao. And then her instincts kicked in and she took charge and kissed him thoroughly, but the action made him feel emasculated and humiliated, especially since it seemed more like she was doing a chore than something she was enjoying. I think 9 was only a cheek kiss. Right now there are only 10 volumes in English, but if you preorder off of J-Novel Club you can read the next volume as it is getting translated.

@justhuman22 ahh ok, thank you. i'm curious to read that scene in the Manga but i assume it'll probably take a few years to get there. do you know how long it usually takes for a volume to get translated? i mean can we get the other 4 volumes till the next year or it'll take a year each?

Volume 10 of apothecary diaries released its last part on December 22nd 2023 and then released the first part of volume 11 (out of like I think 16 parts?) on January 5th 2024. However, vol 10 got released to digital stores on January 18th and vol 11 is slated for a May 20th release. Also. J-Novel Club releases one part a week. The other volumes were 13 or 14 parts, but 11 has spots for 16. So I think it’s going to take a bit for it to get translated.
I don’t know about the manga since I am only a LN reader. But last I heard was that they were still only in like vol 4 of the LN content wise.

You are welcome. I am thankful for J-Novel Club and how you can basically see the progress of stories getting translated. Feels better than just constantly going back to other manga/light novel translator websites and HOPING for a new release date to show up. Or any kind of information on if the story is still coming out. (I am dying waiting for more Secrets of the Silent Witch)

@justhuman22 google playstore also has it but it says pre-order ans since i never bought any book there i'm not sure if i'll be able to read each released chapter. and i also never used J-novel club either. this serie is pretty much my first time reading a Light Novel

I have unrelated question. I know there are a couple of JP LN readers on the site. Are there any news when vol. 16 comes out?
