@Angelo Gabrini hold on.... Oomori literally says that Astrea Record is canon, and then he says he doesn't want to turn it into a book because if adding a power like the Freya familia, which is already there, everything would just explode? How does that even make sense?

What? He only said it's hard to write, that's why he doesn't want to make it into a book @Percyolimpo

Not exactly hard but it'd be way too much work and the author doesn't want to do it

How? He was already envolved in the actual event. How would it be more work? Everything is already there!. Just change a couple of stuff and it's done. To be honest, compared to vol 14, I would say it wouldn't be that much of a problem.

Also, can you guess what the reason for not wanting to turn argonaut into a novel is? Because he didn't give one. And I think that if any danmachi freese story deserves a novel that would be Argonaut.

Its on twitter, He just said that "all out fights are hard/tiring to write". No special meaning.. And I believe he only wrote the dialogue, the background and what the characters will do in danmemo... He obviously doesn't need to put all of the details in the game since it's just still images and some light effects..

But you obviously get the point, no need to put side comments.

Just change a couple of stuff and it's done. To be honest, compared to vol 14, I would say it wouldn't be that much of a problem.

What he wrote would be just dialogues and the rest like the characters designs he most likely simply discussed it with the game staff.

He already said that the event is 380 pages long just with dialogues. That is enough to be an entire book by itself. And we know that dialogues are not the biggest part of a book. Most of its length is due to the descriptions and explanations provided by the narrator.

In other words, to adapt Astraea Record he would need to write several books. And he just doesn't want to do it.

He gave the same explanation and said that it was hard. What happens is that he doesn't want to go through all the work that it would be to adapt it to LN format.

Now, he did mention that he may do it if everyone asks for it, but that is not sure. And most likely even if it happened he wouldn't do so.

Moreover, he is already working in many different projects and his rhythm of releases is pretty low, at least for what he used to. So the last thing we need is for him to start another one.

@Rigel31415 Oh, I got that he had said that Astrea Record would fit in 380 pages.

"He gave the same explanation and said that it was hard."

From what I saw in the tweets, he gave that explanation to Astrea Record and Grand Day Eve, not Argonaut.

It was in another tweet. Also, he refered to Grand Day no Grand Day Eve.

@Rigel31415 You mean this tweet?

"1st and 2nd place is for total war.
If you add the participation of other powers such as Freyja Familia as an additional element, you will probably blow bubbles and collapse.

So I will never write it! Because it's absolute!"

No. I think he didn't even post it during the third anniversary. I think I saw it in his twitter one day when I was checking if he had posted any relevant information.
