      Check the post on the main page, basically it will be one per weekend with additional chapters coming out during the week if I have enough chapters stored up to post on the weeks I can’t translate.

        Just found your site after I saw one of your AF translations. Thanks, besides showing off your skill at using different “voices” to tell the story, it also revealed that the site I was reading on was a scraper…so I am glad to switch to your (newly bookmarked) real translation site instead. You do great work ^θ^

    I feel sorry for you the author is pumping out those chapters. Looks like you’ll be tl’ing this story for 3+ years or until you quit….looking at syosetu (briefly) I’ve seen releases on the 18-28th at 800+ chapters rip. You need allies

      Haha yeah, even if I tled at Ren’s place for a year I’d still be ~300 chapters behind, well I guess I’m in for a long haul. Allies would be nice but I’ve only just started so I might hold off that for a bit longer.

    His consquetly of using ‘Hah’ when he fights shows how amateur he is. Shouting may help strengthen your blows with the boost of Will, but its not, you’re giving out too much excess of power instead. Typical japanese novels. It sometimes annoy you to the point of just stopping thinking its a waste of time.

    The translation is great but if somehow, you change that expression and the ‘Tch’? Scratch that its also annoying.

    Theres a lot that id like to change or remove actually but i dont to trash the authors work if thats what is really written.

    Reply
    1. SilentNumber Post author

      You mean the Hah and Tch? Yeah, they’re in the raws. They’re actually my anglicization of the Japanese sounds, the Hah’s are basically the same in the raws but the Tch is supposed to be sound made when someone clicks their tongue. I don’t know any other way to translate it atm but thanks for giving your opinion.

        Yeah I knew it’s japanese. But although it’s annoying, the element and setting of this story is phenomenal that I coudn’t just drop it. It has this thing that made me want to keep going. Thanks for the great job done translating.

    thank god. I dont know how long ago,
    (it feels like ages though)
    I first saw this novel. It had no translator back then and i only knew the synopsis and the name. I saw how many chapters it had on syosetu and was already burning with anticipation. Alas, no one picked it up.
    I waited and waited but nothing changed. I forgot about it, came back again a few months later and still NO ONE HAD PICKED IT UP, so i gave up.
    I checked again once in a while but every time i did, I was disappointed yet again. Untill someone had picked it up, but almost a year ago he said the next chapter will be up in 2 weeks or so and thats the last i heard of him.
    I place my hopes on you now Thank you very much.

    Im used to wuxia novel translation speed which is why the wait will probably kill me, but at least i can finally read this 😀

    good story from what I read so far, just a heads up a large number of your next chapter links are broke or have not been done. It’s really distracting to run in to when your reading this from the beginning, like I did today. And don’t compare yourself to Ren, he’s just a translation monster … I mean what else can you say about the man …

      I’ll go back and double check the links then, I have had issues with missing links to chapters so I’ll see if I can fix the broken ones.

      Oh yea, I took a quick look at your pdf and you might want to changed the cover page to the volume 1 cover. Chapters 1-59 cover events that can be found in volume 1 of the lightnovel. Volume covers 1-6 can be found on the gallery page on this site if you need it.

        I like it because it’s not a Harem. Plus it doesn’t feel like they made the typical high schooler archetype that we usually get, some tall stud whatever that is usually super annoying in some way. Legend is definitely one of my favorites!

        I do wish we got chapters slightly faster though, only because based on what I heard at this current speed it would take you like 20 years to TL it all. (I heard it was around 1300 chapters total, 1200 since you already got 100 done divided by 50 makes 24, so at this speed it would take you 24 years).

        So yeah, not really complaining about your speed, just sheer content size might make you want to go faster or get help, or set up a donation box and let people throw money at you for this for extra chapters at least or something.

      I read machine translations up to chapter 1020, and well there are other characters who like and try to flirt with the main character he very clearly is only interested in the main heroine.

      Reply
      1. Sepia

        Well….It’s my opinion but I dont like her. Elena is the type of character that the author forces a stereotype that pisses me off. The problem is not that he adopts this stereotype, the problem is that he rubs this stereotype on the reader’s face as if he will absolutely agree with it. The autor has adopted for the character the infamous “perfection” which, in my view, irritates me in a very big way. For me her defect is concentrated in 3 things: first, the “perfection” which the author rubs in the reader’s face thinking that everyone will agree with him about it. Second, I personally don’t like this kind of character which conveys this time of “Perfect Being” just like this author does to Elena. Third and not least is the ball licking that both the author and the protagonist make about it. Yes, she is beautiful SO? Kenny is beautiful, the Guid Master is beautiful, Millein is beautiful, so why the autor forces this kind of ball licking on the character with the kind of stereotype I hate the most? That’s why for me in some ways the harem is the saving option for everything. Because as I read this here I know that if the harem doesn’t happen, the main character will unhappy marry this Elena. Even if Rei marries her, the harem gives you the option to be less pissed about it because the protagonist will be with another character as well (the one you probably like). and everyone will be happy. That was a short comment, but it turned out to be an outflow, I apologize.

      Not that I know of. LNMTL has a large database of pure MTL series, but they seem to be Chinese series only.
      Google Chrome does allow automatic translations though, so if you open up one of the raw chapters on Chrome, it should automatically use google translate every time you open a new chapter.

    What is the difference between LN and WN? I am afraid that LN may have more complete material than WN and I may be missing out on some content. Can I read WN without fear of thinking like that? Thanks for the work man. Translating a work of more than two thousand chapters is not for anyone.

    Reply
    1. SilentNumber Post author

      There are some slight differences between the LN and WN, but for the most part you can considered the LN to just be an edited version of the WN. This is because the WN is still being actively updated by the author, so it’s not like he’s re-writing the entire story in the LN.

      I’m not too sure what all the differences are between the LN and the WN are but I can give you a few examples from the first arc. In the WN, after arriving at Gilm and registering at the guild, Rei heads to the library by himself. In the LN, Lenora takes him there from the guild instead. Another case is the LN has an extra event that takes place around chapter 28 where Milein meets Set for the first time to serve a bit as an introduction to why Milein likes Set so much.

      Overall, these changes don’t have a significant impact on the story, but just provide a bit more character development, which is about right since the LN is supposed to be an edited version of the WN.

      tldr; There are slight differences in events that occur, but nothing that changes the story greatly in any way.

    I’d like to help with translating this series if possible.. I love the series but hate waiting for the translation to be released (seems to take a while).. I’m not great at translating though so it would probably need some proof reading/editing.

    Reply
    1. SilentNumber Post author

      Thanks for offering to help, it’s pretty much how I started out at first as well.

      Few things I would suggest you to think about first though, as these were things that I didn’t really think about at first.

      First of all, do you like the series. A lot of people often overlook this, but it’s really hard to translate something you don’t like.

      Second, do you have the time. When I first started translating Legend, each chapter took a good 4-5 hours or more to translate, so don’t expect it to be something you can do quickly. It only takes me 2-3 hours now, but that’s because I’m 200+ chapters in and have a feel for the author’s writing style.

      Thirdly, do you have the patience and motivation for it. Even though I can now translate a chapter in 2-3 hours, it still takes a lot out of me, which is why I only translate on weekends, too tired after work to work with this on weekdays ahaha.

      If you reckon you can handle that, let me know and we’ll go from there.

    You are seriously gonna need some back-up. The webnovel is at 2000+ chapters now. Assuming the author stops pumping out chapters right now, it will take you 40 years just to catch up. And I know that you won’t be around for that long… For your sake as well as for the readers, you might want to consider getting some helpers to help translate this for you.

      I will usually link the ToC as I schedule chapters because I can’t schedule the ToC to update at a specific time. Usually chapters will release 9-10 hours after the ToC links are updated. Sorry if there was any confusion.

      Good question ahaha. To be honest, I have no idea. Realistically speaking, I will keep doing this until a) I no longer have the time, b) I no longer have the interest, c) the novel gets licensed and I get hit by a DMCA or something, or d) machine translation gets good enough that people can just read it themselves instead of coming here. Out of the three, the first and last are probably the only reasons that I will drop out entirely, if it’s one of the other two, I’ll probably still work on translating something, just something shorter like the other series I’ve put on on this site.
