Due to the many issues previous releases had, I decided to create a major version release to fix all of them in one go. Please let me know if there are any existing issues still. This should be an up-to-date collection as of 6th of July, 2025.
I have done my best to preserve the uploader's tag if a volume was sourced from Nyaa, but I obviously can't do that for Ganba's releases.
#### Should we continue including PDF versions?
Most readers on most devices support .EPUB files, so I see very little reason to include a separate PDF version for every volume. It needlessly inflates the torrent size, and not everyone wants them. PDFs amount to over half the total filesize. If you think they should not be included going forward (or if you think they should), please vote here: https://strawpoll.com/05ZdzaPYln6
Keep in mind that this does *NOT* include LNs that are PDF-only with no EPUB version -- these are usually scans with no ebook version available.

A warm thanks to the many members of the Merchant's Guild, generously funding and bank-rolling these releases. You're all truly wonderful. Have a good day.

Knock Yourself Out! The Goddess Beat the Final Boss in the Tutorial, So Now I’m Free to Do Whatever - Volume 01 [J-Novel Club] [Premium].pdf (21.7 MiB)
PDFs are absolutely still needed. Some older devices don't play nice with .epub. My kindle is only around 5 years old and it doesn't recognize epubs. I don't trust Amazon not to force an update to make side loading impossible so it doesn't touch the wi-fi. I also read on my laptop and I cannot get calibre to properly format epub text. I just use Acrobe Reader with PDFs and it's works perfectly fine. If PDFs get taken away then I have no idea what i'm going to do. Have to use a program to force convert epubs to PDF I guess and hope it works right.
People that are using this site to download things probably have multiple several terabyte hard drives. Getting to 140GB has taken several years and it's probably 90+% of all English light novels. It's really not that big. You have the option right in the torrent itself to just get the epub links if that's all you care about. Having PDF is fine as a option for those of us that still need them.
Also you are going to need to learn how to make a .bat file like Ganba used to make that could be ran in the folder to delete any files that are updated in the future batches. Whether it be because a new revised version came out or you messed up naming one of the volumes, or whatever. Otherwise you'll just have a bunch of duplicate files that have to be removed manually or people will have to completely delete and redownload the collection every time there is a new numbered update. As an example in your 22.01 release you have 'Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average' Volume 19 listed as being J-Novel Club but here you fixed it to Seven Seas. However now anyone that followed along with 22.01 and 22.02 now have a duplicate of that Volume 19. Even if they just download the Mega update only folder it's not going to match with the torrent now. This was normally when Ganba would have a .bat file to run that would delete or rename the file so it matches with the current torrent.
Damn hit character limit.
Probably not a huge deal but unless you do things perfectly and make no mistakes this does mean duplicate downloads will be possible. And if people were complaining about PDFs taking up extra space then it's worth pointing out how duplicates of epubs and/or PDFs will take up more space over time unless you do something about it. Either by creating a .bat file like Ganba or making a list of all the changes in the initial post.
@Sockz
Maybe we can reach a compromise where I upload PDFs in a separate, top-level directory and people can simply check that off when downloading. Is that acceptable? If not, I can just continue including them as normal.
>Also you are going to need to learn how to make a .bat file like Ganba used to make that could be ran in the folder to delete any files that are updated in the future batches.
I've been wanting to do this for a while, maybe include a bash version too for Linux/macOS users. I'll try and get it done for the next release, or just something for migrating from last major release to this one.
@ valdearg ... actually it depends on the device and what software and OS you are running ... starting back many years ago (more than a decade) ... I noticed that more devices can read pdf format than could read epub ... it's not quite as bad now, but pdf format files should still be included because they are readable on a wider range of devices and software/OS's
I always delete the epubs. The program I like to use on my tablet to read manga and comics (so cbz and cbr files) doesn't do epub but does do pdf, and it's just more convenient to have one program on my tablet. Any other readers I've tried are less convenient to use. And while converting files from epub to pdf is possible, sometimes they don't like to convert right and they'll split illustrations or something.
it's pretty clear people only want one or the other though so having them merged has always been annoying for downloading purposes
with the old batches I would just use the ddl to get specific books because better dead than seeding converted PDFs
@TheOtakuX
>sometimes they don’t like to convert right and they’ll split illustrations or something
I'm not a pro at converting these to PDF, but I've found 220x300mm to be the perfect page size. Rarely if ever get broken up illustrations.
For fucks sake. Here's the thing: A, if he continues to put the pdfs in the batch you can skip them simply by filtering what your torrent program downloads, yes you can do it, at least on Qbitorrent. Also, you can de-select the files you don't want to be downloaded, though in a torrent this size that sounds like a pain. B, you can use Calibre on pc to convert the motherfucking epub to whatever your shitty ass tablet uses, even PDF itself, it is not THAT hard to do, just a couple of clicks. So whatever the uploader decides to do, every user has options.
Bad name for : "Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughterr - Volume 15 [J-Novel Club][Premium].pdf", Daughterr have an extra r at the end:

@ AlpinDale ... I just tried the DDL link you posted ... and instantly got a screen telling me I can not download that file because I do not have a "Premium" account, or my account is suspended ... I do not have any type of account with that site ... and I suspect that others will get the same result is they try the link but do not have a premium account with that site
@komugi
Thanks for reporting, I didn't know real-debrid restricts large downloads. Is there a better service for uploading this many files? I don't want to pay for mega.
I've seen people use tools like https://github.com/szmania/mega_manager for managing multiple mega accounts to bypass the need for premium, then split so it's A-F on one link, G-M on another etc.
@alpin
Thanks for taking this up. I use Kavita to read LNs. Kavita is really picky about proper epub formatting. I've needed to fix a lot of issues with a lot of the LNs from this torrent series over time. Replacing and refixing everything from a new download would be terrible. That's not your fault. Kavita needs to improve its reader to be more permissive of trivial errors. Without a script, the update ddl is also not very useful. Is there a script anywhere that I can use to prepare my LN library for the update ddl?
Putting epub and pdf files in the same torrent is like putting FLAC and mp3 versions of the same albums in a discography torrent. Post the source format, simple as
Didn't read the question properly so voted No Instead of Yes. Unfortunate since Yes would have been at exactly 75% right now otherwise.
I think if PDF are to be included, they should have their own separate top level directory as OP mentioned. Ideally there should be a separate torrent for converted PDF's, but I can understand how that could be a hassle.
Hello guys, can anyone that already completed the torrent, seed a bit longer ? i'm stuck at 96ish atm, i'm currently seeding it (but still stuck at 96%)
@exiledmind. i only use qb for for the english torrent sites, lol so i cant.
just chuck the pdfs into one single parent folder like the bl stuff. personally, id rather seed stuff i will actually want and save space to seed other stuff lol
but as of ganbas last update, i ran the script to delete pdfs, and maybe the script for completed stuff too. so i guess ill have to wait until if theres a sole pdf folder. unless theres another way to keep seeding, that i havent thought read?
@krakerz
theres a lot off seeders, maybe your getting stuff thats people havent downloaded? or maybe just click on "ramdom port" a couple times and wait and see what happens.
@Doc, hmmm weird, maybe because i used the old files (and force recheck) and always get error later ._. , let me try redownload everything then, thanks
@krakerz
humm well, everybody is using the same files, but as you say there are some files that error-ed. if you use a newer client that shows logs in the program then it shouldnt be hard to see what the file error(s) is in the logs? then you can proceed further with resolving problems.
checking comments in previous torrents, there were errors in 22.01 and some in.02 as well. but thats it, there would obviously be more comments if there were.
but im not seeding this yet, i would like to, but i dont want to re-download all the pdfs again lol.
@doc, nah it was fine, i just finished the full redownload (to another dir) earlier, then i just overwrite my old files too (so it will be auto mapped by kavita), thanks for letting me know the torrent was fine (lot of seeder), though tbh i do miss the smaller update (the new / replaced ones only) easier for BW and traffic as well 👌
@krakerz
oh ok fair enough then. humm the torrent stats at the top of the page tell you the torrent is healthy. this is a full version update, hence the .0 the previous 2 torrents were minor updates.
PDF and EPUB scripts leave some of the titles behind for whatever reason, I think it's a bug.
Specifically, these are not being carried over:
Ascendance of a Bookworm - Hannelore's Fifth Year at the Royal Academy - Volume 01 [J-Novel Club][faratnis].epub

The weird thing is that the script output is showing them just fine.
This is most likely because of the "’" character in the filename.
Also, Fluffy-Eared Realm Restoration - Volume 1 [J-Novel Club][Kobo].epub should be renamed to Fluffy-Eared Realm Restoration - Volume 01 [J-Novel Club][Kobo].epub
Here is a Guide to Remove all the PDF or all the Epub after finishing Downloading.
First download 7-Zip and install it.
Second Open 7-ZIp File Manager and go the the Downloaded Light Novel Folder.
In 7-zip FM you will notice on the top left corner of the screen File Edit View.
Click View and then Click [ Flat View ] This will show you all the files in the folder as if you are looking at a single fold and not hundreds of folder.
Warning Do not Delete any files just yet!
By Default 7-zip will sort these files by name. But you have the option to sort these files by Type.
Example of Sort by Name.
Goonig non Stop.pdf
Goonig non stop.epub
Hentai.pdf
Hentai.epub
Isekai.pdf
Isekai.epub
Jack Off.pdf
Jack Off.epub
Example of Sort by Type.
Goonig non Stop.pdf
Hentai.pdf
Isekai.pdf
Jack Off.pdf
Hentai.epub
Isekai.epub
Goonig non stop.epub
Jack Off.epub
Now Remove any files to another folder Except PDFs or Except Epub which ever if your preference.
The reason why I Forbid you from Deleting files is because some LN folders only have PDF and some Only have EPUB or some have zips etc.
Example I only use EPUB if I can. I removed all files except EPUBs and I found 46 LN Folders that only have PDFs and Zips.
By the way these are great books 10/10 will highly recommend.
Basically if you have 10 folders and a total of 400 files in those said folders then the Flat View Option will show you all folders as if all the folders were shown in a single folder instead of 10 different folders.
Read the next Comments for the other steps to keep Folders that don't have PDFs or EPUBs.
NOTE: Do all these steps a little Differently in order to only keep PDFs.like Removing the EPUBs insted of the PDFs etc.
Here are all the folders that don't have EPUBs and only have PDFs and or zips & how did I do it.
! WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER.
After moving the PDFs some Empty Folders remained that Don't Have EPUBs.
Found the empty folders using the App "Everything" which showed 46 Empty folders.
On "Everything" I Selected all the empty files and moved them.
[ Everything Find All Empty Folders Guide ] Open Everything and letting it create a Database. Now on top section click Search>Advanced Search> Copy your LN Folder Path>Unselect the Include Subfolder option> Click ok>Now Click the size sort option it should Show the largest folder & Files on Top[ now click the size option again and it should show the Smallest Folders on Top Which are the Empty 0 KB Folders.
Now just Select them and move them. Put them on the folder you kept the PDFs and according to their names move the PDFs inside them and you won't lose the 46 LNs that only have PDFs on them.
The LN Folder Path should be something like this [F:\Need Backup\Complete\[ Light Novels ]\Officially Translated Light Novels] ]
Put the folders in the folder where I put all the PDFs and zips.
Selected all the 46 empty folder and hold Crtl + Right Click and a new options Copy as paths came up.
Pasted the Paths on the App "Notepad ++"
Sorry for the Wait.
Again Here are all the folders that don't have EPUBs and only have PDFs and or zips & how did I do it.
Sorry. Hit 2048 character limit so had to make a 3rd comment.

All of you People are amazingly dedicated. What you People did is far more Impressive that I could ever do. Feel Proud of your selves and Please remember to be kind to others who are not as fortunate as you. Have humanity and Empathy to feel other Peoples suffering and pain. Don't judge others on their differences like Race, Gender, Religions. Judge them on their Action.
Remember have Empathy. Some people are less Fortunate.
[Rant about Humanity]
Example: African governments are full of Corruption and their people steal and rob a lot.
But they live in a condition where it is extremely hard to make an honest living.
I don't need to rob people [Digitally Stealing Right Now] Physically because I can afford a roof over my house, I can afford water, food, electricity, a soft bed, Medicines etc.
The Struggle of an African person is far Greater than mine and that struggle makes it hard to have a good life without doing any crime so I should not judge them by my own standards when they are on a brutally hard playing field.
Its like I am judging and mocking someone who was wearing a 5 Defence armour and got one shot by a goblin while I was wearing a 5000 Defence Armour and didn't feel a thing. I don't have the right to judge them when I am living such a Luxurious life compared to them. I Deeply Respect them that they keep on living.
But Gen@cide, Starving people when you have lots of food, Bombing Hospitals and schools with civilians in them is never Justified.
Even in the Unlikely case if all of those Same People even including the civilians and children Bombs Hospitals and Schools it is still not justified to Bomb their Schools & Hospitals because others will see you just as evil and terroristic as them.
Not to mention its stupid since these evil actions will give birth to more terrorist. All terrorist are born human. They have Families, Children. If you take them away they don't have the mental capacity to forget and forgive. It will only birth new Terrorist.
Just in case you believe that The US are the good guys and they never did any wrong here are some lists.
The US supported 37 authoritarian governments including Dictators.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._policy_towards_authoritarianism
Yes don't 100% trust Wiki all the time but can all those info be wrong no. some of then can be wrong but never all of them.
https://infogalactic.com/info/List_of_authoritarian_regimes_supported_by_the_United_States
https://allthatsinteresting.com/us-dictator-alliances
Final Notes: We all are humans and we all can be just as bad as Hitler or Israel or The US. Hitler was not born like that but grew up like that and so can anyone else. When we forget that or Dehumanize Hitler and his Party and others including our enemies that's when we forget this important Fact. We justify our action by thinking that "At Least I Am Not As Bad As Hitler" Qustion Who Build those Death Camps, Who Starved the Jews, Who Looted Homes it was Hitlers Solders the German People and the German Civilians Ignored it. Just killing Adolf when he is a baby won't stop the deaths. It will only stop when we realize that we can be just as evil as them. Its because of this that Germany is such a Great and Proud nation today. They admit their wrong doings and teach the younger generation how to be humane unlike Japan who did worse horrible War Crimes even more than Germany but Pretends it never happened.

Note: There is no same if you are poor. Being poor is not a crime. If you find other sources it fine. Its hard to give regional pricing to poor nations. Regional Pricing is when a Game is 1-5 Dollar in Africa because an African Adult earns 50-500 dollars a month But in US the price is 60 Dollars because in US the salary is 800-5000 Dollars or even more.
Another Game Dear to my heart is Slay The Princess. It's 5-9 Dollars depending on Sales.
Its one of the best story games I have ever played.
It has more than 12 Endings. I count Bringing Her out of the Cabin an ending.
Buy it on GOG or Steam.
GOG has no DRM and gives you option to download the offline DRM FREE installer. Since its dram free you can install it on any PC without an account as many times as you want without any restrictions so you Truly own what you Buy insted of steam where they can take it away any time they want since you are buying a licence of a product.

Again you need to download the offline installer or you wont own. If your internet is too slow and you are suffering power outage then use.

A GOG Alternative is Itch.io
[Comment From A User]
Itch.io itself doesn't apply any DRM, if that's what you're asking. Individual creators are free to put their own copy protection into the downloads they provide (at least I'm not aware of any rule against it). But you won't make many friends around here that way.

Thanks.
I don't care if pdfs are included or excluded. Imo, people can convert an epub to a pdf if they need to. Similarly, people can filter out pdf files from the torrent if they don't want it. But the latter might affect seeding statistics?
Ganba's bat file seemed pretty simple since you generally just need it to rename or delete files/folders. It should be trivial for LLMs to write an example and you just copy paste it for everything you want changed.
If it helps, Ganba's script to rename and delete things looked like this:
@echo off
echo Starting patch.
mkdir "!To Delete"
chcp 65001
echo Renaming "Observation Records of My Fiancée - The Misadventures of a Self-Proclaimed Villainess - Volume 01 [Hanashi Media][Kobo].epub"
ren "Observation Records of My Fiancée - The Misadventures of a Self-Proclaimed Villainess\Observation Records of My Fiancée - The Misadventures of a Self-Proclaimed Villainess - Volume 01 [Hanashi Media][Kobo].epub" "Observation Records of My Fiancee - Volume 01 [Hanashi Media][Kobo].epub"
echo Deleting "Only the Villainous Lord Wields the Power to Level Up - Volume 03 [J-Novel Club][Prepub].epub"
move "Only the Villainous Lord Wields the Power to Level Up\Only the Villainous Lord Wields the Power to Level Up - Volume 03 [J-Novel Club][Prepub].epub" "!To Delete"
@echo off
echo.
echo.
echo Errors indicate something went wrong and not all changes happened.
echo Some errors might be OK if you're running this again.
echo.
echo Analyze the !To Delete folder before deleting if you want.
echo.
echo Enter Y to delete the folder now, N to keep it.
echo.
rmdir /S "!To Delete"
echo.
echo Patch applied. You can now download the new torrent.
