J.J. Pavlov The web novel is quite different. As with all web novels, the quality is rather lacking, so I wouldn't recommend it after the books. If you can look past that, you could turn it into a game to spot the differences and see how they affect the later development in the story compared to the books =P

J.J. Pavlov No exact date yet since it depends on the completion of the cover art. But it should be done in about 3-4 weeks from now.

Hello, I did like your books very much. I read all four of them in a week and I can't wonder that this would make excellent anime. Is there change that you could translate and publish it in Japanese? That way it could get change to be adapted as anime and I'm sure many Japanese readers would love to read this. It is not unheard to get westerner LN to adapted as anime. No Game No Life writer was Brazilian citizen.
J.J. Pavlov After the release of volume 5 (soon-ish), I'll be looking to communicate with Japanese publishers to get the series translated and published there. An anime adaptation is still far away though and would come after several big steps into Japan first.

How do you get inspired to write?
J.J. Pavlov When I finish a chapter, I put the flow of time in the world of my story on hold, until I naturally start thinking about it again. Then I put myself in the shoes of my characters, and the story flows naturally.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
J.J. Pavlov It all started when I tossed and turned in bed, playing with two things:
- A title with the wordplay of Maou Shoujo (Demon Lord Girl) and Mahou Shoujo (Magical Girl)
- The first line for the story: "When I looked in the mirror this morning I felt my sanity points dropping."
The rest is, as they say, history.
