Is it possible to approve this entry of Pretty Boy Detective Club/Bishounen Series? First volume of novel released in English recently and started releasing in Japan a while ago. Wanted to read this since I own the first volume physically but not able to add it here. Anime entry was approved a while ago for this too.

That's another one I wanted to add actually. It's weird but it's hard to inform MAL staff to update manga/novels to be able to add it unless it's something really really popular. Especially when some of the entires I wanted to add already have manga versions out or an anime adaptation to come soon like this one.

It isn't a light novel series, so, nope. Also, the series already finished last year.

It is a light novel series though...???
And the fact that it's already finished doesn't mean it shouldn't be added to the database.

It is not a light novel series because it wasn't released in a light novel label (on that note just a very few Nisio series is technically a light novel). And I just said it was finished because OP said "started releasing in Japan a while ago" which implies the novels are still releasing which isn't the case.

Ah I see.
Would still be nice if they approved the entry, since things like Koten-bu and other Nisio series are in the database.

Personally I want everything from Nisio to be here, but they keep using those technicalities, even if Nisio is heavily attached to the otaku culture...

Actually, this can be approved!

I.2.5 Novels - Please wait to submit these entries.
Proper novels which have been directly adapted to anime and/or manga (e.g. Shinsekai yori); cannot be an interpretation.
Restricted to Japanese/Korean/Chinese novels written in the 1980s and beyond.

I'm glad about that, though it already has another entry other than this one https://myanimelist.net/manga/129426/Bishounen_Series

Nice, but it's actually 12 novels. There's a new vol coming out next month http://taiga.kodansha.co.jp/author/i-nishio.html ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Boy_Detective_Club

and no, that does not mean more new volumes will be released. Nisio commented in his last interview that with the anime coming out he would write a new volume. That's it.
