Well, this summer, mothy's releasing 1-2 light novels (depending on whether Gift or Five the Pierrot are being bundled together or not... vague advertisement radda fradda...)

Afterwards, he's releasing maybe two more, one for Envy and maybe one for Greed (assuming he still not thinking of doing a wrath light novel). In that scenario, it's one databook after that. Let's say Sloth's release is in late June, 2014.

Generally, mothy's light novels have a 9 month gap (databooks not included).

That would mean around April 2015, we would get Envy, and then Greed/whatever in January 2016. If Original Sin of Evil comes after, then we could see a light novel for that around October 2016.

That said, once Act 3's finished, mothy could always do what he did with Torture Tower and release boths series concurrently (staggering it so its only every few months til the next Evillious novel comes out). The reason I doubt this is I feel this would hurt the demographic by quickening the pace too fast but who knows.

That's why I think we could easily see an Original Sin of Evil series start releasing in 2016, a little over two years from now.

As for why I think we'll get Act 3, stories rarely end with 2 acts. Three acts is the general standard (five as well, but I don't think mothy could push out two more at his current pace).

We've yet to get an Abandoned on a Moonlit Night remake, despite being the direct sequel to Moonlit Bear (and each album has one previously released song in it (remixed)).

I can totally see August 10-13 having an Act 3 album containing one song with Iroha/Kiyoteru, one Abandoned song, and one other song (maybe another instrumental to end it (I bet a remix of Chrono Story's tune), like how an instrumental in the Act 1 album begins it).

Looking at Act 1's info, I can see Act 3 revealing more of Seth's plan and what exactly Irina's trying to do, especially since the Sloth era has the somewhat hyped up Duel of Merigod coming up. I see them connecting.

Act 1 really set up Seth Twiright while Act 2 set up Irina. Act 3 would naturally set up how these's two characters fit in with the rest of the story after.

Or maybe I'm looking too deeply into things and mothy's just going to not release anything this August. XD
