That cover hurts my eyes. Also sometimes the retro bitmap font look works well, but here it doesn't. Hell the text isn't even parallel, it looks like it was poorly hinted or scaled or something.

You're forgetting the part where the previous editor betrayed and left us for /a/. Then, a new editor stepped in, and tried to make /jp/ forget that small incident. /jp/ went full mad.

2. First editor rejects a lot of /jp/ stories then searches /a/ for stories.
3. He leaves and new editor comes into place and focuses on /jp/ again.
4. 3 /jp/sies and a DA guy submit stories and are accepted in the magazine.
5. One of the artists wants to post on /a/, one of the writers gets mad.
6. He leaves and starts spamming nocturnes.

If I wrote a book and advertised it as a timeless chronicle inspired by the sickeningly prevalent control of kikes and their consumerist media on modern mankind, would it still be a book?

I don't like to intervene on stupid conversations like the one currently ongoing in the thread, but I'll just paste what one of their staff said.

><%ghoaster> Nuisance: we aren't a light novel magazine any more

Regardless, I don't see how that prevents it from being /jp/ related even if it is not a light novel magazine.

You stupid? This is only /jp/ related if it's a LN magazine.

Even if their editor said it wasn't a LN release anymore that wouldn't change what it is.

None of the stories in it are light novel material.

Yes they are. They're short but the intention was to serialize, the lack of a serialization does not change what they are publishing.

No the content is not /jp/ material.

The content is still not /jp/ material. Short stories are not LNs.

What would be /jp/ material? Serialized western anime stories?

If it was published and sold in Comiket, it would be Otaku related.
Otherwise, it's /jp/ related in the same way Katawa Shoujo is /a/ related since the group formed on the board and publicize themselves via the boards. Since it's made by /jp/ers it's not directly against the rules, but it doesn't exactly fit the purpose of the board.

It's a case of loose interpretation v.s. strict interpretation.

This thread strikes me as amusing. Effort just doesn't pay on 4chan if the audience isn't interested.

The format looks very slick, the copious amount of artwork is also impressive. This redesign reflects a major improvement. This looks like something that could easily be in a professional magazine. On the other hand, the font is rather small. This could be much larger. The story quality could also use some work, but this is really just inevitable while starting up.

Nice job. Pity /jp/ doesn't seem to want it. Tough luck taming the autists, buddy.

In my experience, autists are among the easiest to please and pander to - correct me if I'm wrong in assuming this, based off past experiences. The guys just have to work on their mettle before doing any kind of serious publication, both in terms of artwork and scripting. Not only that, but the format as well could do with some tweaking, aside from what you pointed out. The main argument I would make is that the stories NEED to be longer for this to be considered a Light Novel magazine.

It's not made by /jp/sies for a while now. This is /a/'s work and is indeed against the rules.
