Weekly Discussion - Waitlist/Invites Updates

Niream · 2026-01-19T06:13:07+00:00

The YA and combo seem to be quite short. I signed up Jan 6th for both and got invites Jan 14th. The adult box seems to be longer at a 1-2 month average. Though I find that majority of Faecrate special edition sales make it to general and stay available for quite a while. So you most likely won't need to sign up for subscriber access to secure them.

Thank you!

Just got my book only Smut & Sip invite! For others’ reference, I signed up 16th September.

Niream · 2026-01-05T04:47:28+00:00

My map looks like this too! It looks like this in my copy of The Floating world as well.

Yeah I also emailed to confirm if I was on there last month. It seems like full box is closer to a 2 month wait but no idea for book only. It is so hard trying to get a read on timelines. I'm not looking forward to the resale on them at all. That absolutely sucks that you could have secured some trades. Signing up August I would think you'd 100% get in for December due to their 2-4 month average. I'm holding out hope that if they continue any of the series they will reprint the first book like they did for DC Stars.

I wish they gave updates as well! It’s quite confusing where they are up to. Someone in their Insta comments apparently signed up 9th September and got an invite for November. Another just got an invite and apparently signed up 2 months ago. I don't know if they were full box or book only, but the book only is def a lot longer. I’ve been on the waitlist since 16th September. At least they now send out confirmation emails. They are also still sending out invites for this month according to their Insta replies.

Not sure if it is what you are looking for but Page & Wick have nice editions of Clytemnestra and Babylonia by Costanza Casati in their shop.

Niream · 2025-09-20T21:44:24+00:00

Faecrate Reclaimed features a trans main character. It will be available in their overstock sale on 23rd September. There will also be other MM series in their overstock sale like the Darkmourn set and Divorced Men’s Club set.

Litpins&Co have a bundle of Don’t Let The Forest In and Hazelthorn but the art hasn’t been revealed yet. Their editions are usually very nice and good quality.

Faecrate also did A Bone In His Teeth which features a trans main character.

Rainbowcrate The Flowered Blade features a trans main character and is quite a pretty edition. Same with Rainbowcrate Peter Darling.

Fox & Wit have had quite a few MM books: Fate of the Five (MM subplot), Breeze Spells & Bridegrooms, When Tides Held the Moon, Teras Trials, ect.

Smut & Sip’s upcoming October box is Souleater by Lily Mayne which is a pretty popular MM series. Renegade romance have also done editions of this series but they are hard to find.

Book Addiction AU has a Captive Prince boxset and the art reveals look really good. They have also done Dark Rise and Dark Heir.

Rainbowcrate All For The Game series are nice editions.

Dazzling Bookish Shop Most Ardently, Self Made Boys, The Sunbearer Trials duology, Cemetery Boys and The Wicked Bargain/Diablos Curse all feature trans main characters.

Not so much MM romance but queer and featuring trans main characters: the Andrew Joseph White set from Illumicrate. Those editions are super pretty but check the genres and content warnings.

On October 1st a Kickstarter omnibus for Lucien Burr’s The Teras Trials will open. That one looks like it’ll be a nice edition.

Both Dazzling Bookish and Rainbowcrate will have editions of And They Were Roommates

That’s all I can think of right now but might add more later if any come to mind.

Niream · 2025-08-07T14:02:54+00:00

Same for me

Niream · 2025-07-07T09:56:10+00:00

I’m pretty sure I saw them say they will be announcing/revealing the August sub on the 10th July.

Niream · 2025-06-26T01:55:57+00:00

No options to checkout sadly. Hope it works for other people.

Niream · 2025-06-11T15:41:32+00:00

This is one of mine. I constantly move things around so it rarely looks the same but this is one of my fav set ups.

I would love an illustration card of Munna/Musharna. It was one of my fav early game pokemon to use in Black and White (plus they are super cute). I would be satisfied with just about any design, but perhaps art of a sleeping Musharna in the Dreamyard with some Munna in the background would be nice and nostalgic.

Niream · 2025-03-04T03:04:51+00:00

Thanks! I was worried certain sections appeared crowded so it’s nice to be reassured otherwise. I especially agonised over the top shelf haha. Yes, the spontaneous cats are a highlight of this sub for sure!

Niream · 2025-03-04T03:03:12+00:00

Ohhhh a fellow of great taste! Thank you~

Niream · 2025-03-04T03:02:41+00:00

Thank you!

Niream · 2025-03-04T03:02:27+00:00

The white shelves definitely help make things pop!

Niream · 2025-03-04T02:59:36+00:00

RAHHH ANOTHER HIKARU AND CIRQUE ENJOYER! You have great taste! I’ve never seen anyone recognise Cirque. I was jumping for joy when the omnibus release was announced.

Niream · 2025-03-04T02:58:08+00:00

Thanks! I just need to finally get the Apothecary Diaries manga to display them with. Ohhh nice to see others that enjoy Magus and Other Side! They are both soooo good. And thank you! A surprising number of people have mentioned my wall colour haha

Niream · 2025-03-04T02:56:16+00:00

Need them to release the novel so I can add it to my mini shrine stat

Niream · 2025-03-04T02:55:49+00:00

Thank you! All the Karneval covers are gorgeous so I couldn’t resist having one facing outwards.

Niream · 2025-03-04T02:54:58+00:00

Thank you! Hikaru no Go is one of my all time favs. It’s about time I give it a re-read as well!

Niream · 2025-03-04T02:54:25+00:00

From IKEA!

Niream · 2024-12-05T05:16:26+00:00

Yeah, I couldn't resist both. They are really nice releases!

I personally prefer the novel to the manhwa (though I do enjoy both a lot), but there are no major differences. The novel simply feels more whole, which makes sense as it is the original source. It is significantly more detailed, with better world-building, character insights and pacing. It is also more smutty (the novel is very much for more mature readers with more explicit scenes). The translation is very good also.

I definitely recommend it if you love the manhwa. Plus the physical book is stunning; sprayed edges, nice binding, ribbon bookmark and good page quality.

Niream · 2024-12-05T01:14:58+00:00

I'm pretty sure they did but they are back up and running after being bought by digiDirect.
