So I read the article on ANN about the launch of the Novelous light novel and manga app and was wondering if the gxp novels have any chance of being added to the app?
I know it's a long shot but c105 stated that Kajishima is working on a new novel so I can only hope that a new release might bring the authors novels to the apps attention.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. However, if the GXP novels ever get an official translation it would likely be through some AI translation app like this. I think the chances of them getting picked up by any english publisher are almost 0.

Well, to be fair, I never would've thought that anyone would've picked up the True Tenchi novels to be translated either, but Seven Seas did do that.

So I'll always hold onto hope.

Hard to say if this app can do the job, I know Japanese fans have told me "Kajishima-san is a better animator than writer"
