SOME FAQs FOR THE OFFICIAL ENGLISH RELEASE OF MXTX NOVELS
I saw the tags, reblogs, and replies in my previous post about the official release of MXTX novels in English, and it seems that some of you still have questions about the details.
I will try to summarize all the information I have at this moment, but for more details, you guys can check the publisher's Website or Twitter.
A thread here by suika, one of the translators involved in the project, may also help you.
------------------------------
Is MXTX going to profit/get paid from this?
Yes, this is an official release, so the author gets the profit she deserves. ^^
Will there be a digital version or prints only?
According to the publisher's website, there will be both.
When is it going to be released?
All Vol. 1 of these novels will be released on 7 December 2021.
The rest of the volumes will be released in the following months until March 2023.
Twitter user yinginannoying has kindly compiled all the release dates for us here. Otherwise you can check the publisher's website, as well.
Will it be uncensored? How about the extras/short stories?
According to suika, it will be uncensored. The publisher (Seven Seas Danmei) said they will remain faithful with all content included, and the books will be rated 17+ for violence, language, and sexual contents.
So yes, all extras are going to be included, as well.
Also, please note that they will not include specific content warnings.
Do they ship to X country?
So far, the books will be sold in Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Book Depository, and RightStuf. Book Depository ships worldwide (for FREE!).
P. S. Some personal notes on Book Depository. Their shipping usually cannot be tracked and sometimes it might take a long time for the books to arrive (in my personal experience, about three months). But it will definitely arrived!
And in the case it does not, their Customer Service is very helpful. I once bought a whole set of Harry Potter books. Because it does not arrive after three or so months, I contacted them and they sent me a brand new set for free, which arrived only a month after.
The price is a bit too much for me, especially because there are so many volumes in total. :'D
Always remember to only spend in fandoms according to what you can afford. Don't force yourself because in the end, fandom stuffs are not your primary needs. :)
Also, although there are 17 books in total for all three titles, they're not all being released on the same day, so there is time to save up. ^^
Will they also release the manhua?
No, because MDZS manhua already has official English release in WeComics, and TGCF manhua in Bilibili Comics.
Will there be merchandise, as well?
So far, the publisher said there are no merchandise planned.
Will there be an audio book?
No audio book is announced at the moment.
Are they going to release more danmei titles in the future?
If these ones do well, they may consider it. ^^
