I'm not going to say that Seven Seas "licensed the wrong Bastard", because that'd be stupid & it's cool that fans of the webtoon will now get to own it physically. However, I will be mentally throwing my fist up in annoyance that Seven Seas didn't license the Bastard that I wanted & have requested in those surveys before.
Beyond that, there's really nothing from these announcements that really catches my interest, and that's sadly been a common thing with Seven Seas' announcements for a good while. A number of years ago they actually did become a favorite manga publisher of mine for a bit & continually licensed stuff that caught my interest... but I guess the stuff I like & find interesting aren't worth anything to other manga readers, so they stopped licensing that kind of manga. Outside of the rare classic manga or a lucky crossing of the streams, Seven Seas has mostly lost my interest.

Fans of Seduced by the Demon King can finally rest easy; the online scans never finished.

Kind of a no-brainer to have a sexy Demon King romance for steamship.
I wonder if they'll get Jordan Dash Cruz for the Trapped in a Dating Sim audiobook.

One thing I've noticed is that Seven Seas changes what they license like the weather. Before, they used to overly prioritize ecchi manga, then it was isekai, and now it's women oriented material (shoujo/josei manga, Teen's Love and Boy's Love manga, and danmei novels). For women who like manga that is marketed to them, it's been a long time coming for them to find a publisher that caters to them since the demise of CMX.

Wolf’s Daughter: A Werewolf’s Tale and Sensei's Mail-Order Food are both big wins for me! It's been really nice to see Seven Seas slowly but surely license more josei.

Mail Order Food sounds great and the werewolf one seems pretty interesting too!
