This is the case for every book and the standard across the manga industry—and common in other forms of media too, like a TV series getting a box set. Chapters are first published in a magazine or in rare cases independently, and then compiled into a book release.

The main benefits of buying a book is ownership (as you brought up), exclusive content (in this case that would be chapter 2, artist commentary, etc.), and it's a more direct way to support the artist in question (book sales result in royalties). Those are universal, but specifically for our releases, they're also updated with revised translation/lettering and fully localized sound effects.

Note: the artist has not been active since late 2016, so this is the last chapter to be released.

It's relatively common, but a lot of people don't know the difference between NTR and BSS. As an example, in the few hours this chapter has been up, a handful of users suggested the Netorare tag. Since we have stricter requirements for NTR than some other places, this new addition covers a different subgenre that wasn't defined on the site before.

This is our first use of the new BSS tag. To learn more about that and the other tags we recently added, please see this forum post.

Oops! There was a mix-up with the release order and this got released before the final chapter. We'll try to publish the final chapter tomorrow instead.

Since this was brought up here, I'll go ahead and address it.

When we receive a chapter like this, there's no guarantee that an "uncensored" version exists. Many times, this is what the original artwork looks like, and while we will make an inquiry to the publisher, in those cases it's only a waste of time. In the past, we've delayed chapters for multiple months hoping we'd get updated files, but we eventually had to release the content as-is.

Learning from the past, we've adopted the more sensible policy of releasing what we're given—with the appropriate tags—and then updating it down the line when and if we're sent new data.

This is our first release from a brand new magazine! Find out more on the forums.

Title fun fact: George Herbert Leigh Mallory was an English mountaineer who took part in the first three British expeditions to Mount Everest in the early 1920s. Mallory is famously quoted as having replied to the question, "Why did you want to climb Mount Everest?" with the retort, "Because it's there," which has been called "the most famous three words in mountaineering."

Just to clarity: this series is published by J-Novel Club, so they deserve the credit for the localization! We only distribute it.

We localize what's in the magazines. It's the Japanese publisher that decides to republish older content.

Did you download the PDF right as it went live? This was an issue initially, but was fixed shortly after. I tried downloading the x2600 PDF just now, and all the pages were loading for me.

The best remake releasing this weekend.

We're not entirely sure how this came to be, but after we saw how much work the author put in, we decided to match that effort. Normally with republications, they're identical and only there to fill space in the magazine, so we don't redo them (we just add the new issue to the old release). However, here the artwork is completely revamped and serves as a testament of the growth of rca as an artist, so we wanted to make sure it got its chance to shine.

Hope you enjoyed this reborn classic!

Only due to the limitation of real life. If the same result can be accomplished by a single individual, it gets the tag.

This was already addressed three weeks ago. If you have a suggestion, please take it to the dedicated forum thread. And if your suggestion breaks the guidelines, don't try to circumvent them by posting elsewhere. I don't believe you're doing this maliciously, but I also don't want to be forced to start deleting comments (as stated in the same guidelines). As mentioned here, if we haven't implemented a tag, there's likely a good reason for it that's outside of our control. Our hands are tied, and repeatedly posting about it in every chapter you come across won't change that.

Because it can't be added. See this thread for more info.
It's actually not the English loanword "hot" (hotto); as mentioned at the end, it's a Japanese term consisting of the kanji for "fire" (ho) and "door" (to). The fact is sounds similar to the English "hot" is purely coincidental.
It was brought up internally, but we decided to tag it to not give away the twist. That, and content is typically tagged solely based on what's in the chapter. The first two parts and everything up until the final page in the third was presented as a cheating story, so that's what the reader will experience.

Foreign word usage usually leads to a lot of discussion, and since this is most likely the start of a series, I'll clarify this right from the get-go: all the terms used here are written in Japanese (e.g., é¾ã®æ£® > Dragon Forest) with a German reading written in Japanese (ドラッヘ・ヴァルト > Dorahhe Varuto > Drache Wald). In other words, these are JP > EN and JP-DE > DE translations, so the DE > EN won't necessarily be 1-to-1, and we might also take some liberties if something sounds too awkward when 100% literal. Add to this that these are fantasy characters using made-up isekai terms, and not a German exchange student as you might see in another chapter. In short: set expectations accordingly and enjoy the cool dragons.
It's not a mistranslation. She even has dragon wings and a tail. It's possible dragons are considered demons in this world.
