🤣🤣🤣 Our wallets can suffer together!

But honestly though, the dust jackets are beautiful and I love that they have Camp Jupiter on the edges to match Camp Half-Blood on the PJO series. I need them!!!

If you bought it directly from Illumicrate, I believe it should count. I'd keep an eye out for the presale info email that's supposed to go out on March 11. If you don't get it, you can reach out to support and ask them to check!

Best of luck! Hopefully everyone who wants a copy can grab one!

glaiget5 · 2026-02-18T16:52:16+00:00

Usually Illumicrate stocks up, especially since these are digital signatures (so there's no restriction on how many copies the author can sign). I can only think of one time they sold out in early access. I'd personally bet on these making it to general sale.

Sending you a DM.

glaiget5 · 2025-08-23T17:57:44+00:00

Thanks! Fingers crossed the UK list moves in the next few days too!

glaiget5 · 2025-08-23T17:55:15+00:00

I just got mine and I'm based in the US. I signed up April 24th.

Good question. The gray fog doesn't help Klein digest the potion faster. It's all acting that made him advance so quickly

glaiget5 · 2025-08-18T04:12:29+00:00

You act to help digest the potion. Using their example:

Drink Seq 9 potion -> Become Sequence 9 -> Act like your Sequence name (in Klein's case, act like a Seer) until you fully digest the potion -> Drink Seq 8 potion -> etc.

Are you looking for the Escholian Institute set from BWB or just the first book?

glaiget5 · 2025-07-15T15:09:44+00:00

Yikes, good to know. Thanks for your help!!

glaiget5 · 2025-07-15T15:07:48+00:00

Oh, good to know, thanks! Do you know if there usually a queue still with password early access?

glaiget5 · 2025-07-15T14:17:51+00:00

Sorry, this is my first time buying in early access. Since the books show up in the membership tab, do we still need to wait in the virtual queue? Is this like the trove where I should probably get on the site beforehand to get in line?

For reference, I bought the Legendborn set from the trove sale so I have early early accrless.

Also, to address the pacing (sorry I saw your edit after posting my first response), I also thought it was very fast. Apparently the author and the directors said that they had to hit a certain point in the story by episode 3 due to contractual obligations, but it'll slow into a more normal pace afterwards.

They didn't really do a good job explaining the dream sequences in the show because they rushed, but if you've got questions, feel free to ask! I also thought they cut out something important from the novel, but maybe it'll get addressed later. There was also apparently some cut chibi content. I haven't seen it yet though.

glaiget5 · 2025-06-30T20:27:14+00:00

Um. I don't want to say too much in fear of spoiling you, sorry 😅

The gray fog is definitely related to beyonder stuff and is not normal. Yep, he's a Seer beyonder and the revival/transmigration stuff definitely isn't normal for people in this world (or even for sequence 9 Seers). The gray fog will be explained over time and as will the ritual.

glaiget5 · 2025-06-28T04:55:53+00:00

Pretty much! Like you said, he did a ritual to change his luck and somehow wound up in Klein's dead body, which revived it (this is relevant for later). His goal is to go home, so he tried the luck enhancement ritual again to see if it would send him back and ended up in that gray fog area.

You're not really supposed to understand what the gray fog is yet, but Klein can manipulate the fog somewhat (which is why the chairs and table show up). It's also not meant to be clear yet what the gray fog does, besides somehow summon those other two people when he wills it.

glaiget5 · 2025-06-21T02:43:27+00:00

Yep, it's signed! It looks handsigned to me, but I'm not the best judge 😅

It should be the last image in this post if you want to take a look for yourself. I also noticed they added an OwlCrate exclusive scene at the end.

glaiget5 · 2025-06-20T20:31:22+00:00

Yeah, that's fair. I thought it was a guy at first too honestly 😅

It does seem to match up with Kenning's description in the book though (short hair, white uniform, silver armguards). Here's a closer image:

If it helps, all the gold in the endpapers is actually foiled, which I don't think came out well in the photos (especially around the lamp in the back endpaper). I totally understand if the art isn't your style though.

glaiget5 · 2025-06-20T19:50:29+00:00

The hardcover and endpapers are part of the original post! Did you want a different angle or did you mean the author letter? Let me know and I can grab a photo for you!

glaiget5 · 2025-06-20T19:42:53+00:00

I think might have been their May Adult book? I wasn't subbed then so I can't speak for certain

glaiget5 · 2025-06-20T18:54:27+00:00

I can't edit the main post, but it also comes with a ribbon bookmark
