Legend Chapter 14

Here’s chapter 14, this time with a correct link, sorry for last week >.<

If you think Rei was brutal last chapter, he puts on the finishing touches this chapter.

We get introduced to dungeons, a staple of every fantasy story as well as some new characters.

Also, just an fyi, the next few chapters slow down a bit as Rei updates his knowledge.

 

For the series of the week, for something a bit more action oriented I would suggest taking a look at Inch of Radiance at pikatranslations. It’s a Chinese fantasy story that’s a bit of mix between xianxia and wuxia in my opinion. That and the main character specializes in throwing knives.

Legend Chapter 13

Here’s chapter 13 and the fight you’ve been looking forward to.

……Okay, let’s face it, its not going to be much of a fight, you  all knew that right?

What we do find out though is that Rei has a cunning AND brutal streak.

 

For my series of the week, I’ll introduce He-Man’s translation of Upgrade Specialist in Another World on WuxiaWorld. There’s only a few chapters but it has an interesting twist on being sent to another world, not a particularly nice one to the one being sent though.

EDIT: whoops my bad, link was to chapter 10, copy pasted the url and forgot to change the number.

Legend Chapter 12

Here’s Chapter 12.

In this chapter, we find out that the bandits attacking nobles event has been substituted for a different event.

There’s also a info dump about the guild system. Come to think of it, I wonder how a guild system would work in the modern world. There’s probably some obvious reason why no one has made one but it’s still interesting to think about.

Lastly, my recommendation of week is the King’s Avatar at gravity tales. For those who aren’t reading it, it’s about a gaming pro who gets kicked out of team for various reasons. He then proceeds to start a new character on a new server and takes serious trolling to a whole new level. If you play league, it’s kinda like what Dyrus is doing at the moment, why else would he run Ultimate Bravery in a Gold V ranked and still carry.

Edit: Oh, almost forgot, if you hold over the Legend tab in the menu area, you can seen a Gallery tab drop down, the volume covers for the 3 volumes of the light novel currently released can be found there.

Legend Chapter 11

And here’s the first chapter of the year! Chapter 11

I stayed up for the new year but the fireworks in my area were really depressing.

Anyway, about the chapter, it feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen a nice and competent guard. The world’s currency is also introduced, which leads me to another thing. I can’t figure out what the name largest currency is meant to be, if anyone has any suggestions after reading the TL note in the chapter, drop a comment below.

Also, it’s become a bit of a habit to share a series that I’m reading every week now. On the idea of non mainstream weapons, Madan ou to Vanadis is a good read, while not unconventional, a bow is still a rare weapon for a MC. 12 translated volumes can be read here setsuna86blog.wordpress.com. He seems to keep disappearing at the end of each of the recent volumes though, not exactly an easy life for him.

Legend Chapter 10

Here’s chapter 10. Everyone had a good Christmas?

In this chapter, Rei shows his genre savvyness and his lack of common sense, let’s face it, most of us wouldn’t be able to do much better. At any rate, the common sense that Zepairu could have taught Rei would have been several hundred years old.

Speaking of common sense, I read Magi’s Grandson during the last week and it was pretty good. The translation can be found here http://japtem.com/projects/magis-grandson-toc/.

Legend Chapter 9

Surprise, surprise, early chapter! Chapter 9

I got some stuff going on tomorrow so I thought I’d post this earlier.

For those who are wondering when they will find civilization of any sort, the answer is soon, very soon.

Also, just a note, at the moment, I have to approve the first comment from any user that comments, any comment after that is automatically approved. So if your comment doesn’t show, that’s probably because I’m asleep and haven’t approved it yet.

Finally, my time zone is GMT +9:30, so while I say my releases are on weekends, for those in America, it’s either Friday or Saturday…I think.

Edit: Oh yea, for those looking for something similar to Magi Craft Meister to read, Seiun wo Kakeru is also an interesting series, it can be read here, https://koreyorihachidori.wordpress.com/seiun-wo-kakeru/

Legend Chapter 8

Here’s Chapter 8.

THE HORDE! IT COMES!

Well, you’ll get it after you read the chapter. Sadly it’s not the orc horde which should appear sometime considering the arc name.

About orcs, ever since I saw WH40K orks, I confuse the two. But because orks stick in my memory more clearly than orcs, I end up imagining orcs = orks. Because of that, reading Legendary Moonlight Sculptor got a little bit weird in my imagination when Weed turned himself into the the orc Karawachi and led an army of them to fight the undead.

Edit: I’ve just checked a couple of the older chapters and it seems I’ve forgotten to enable comments on some of them, in case I do that in future and someone wants to comment, drop a note on the announcement post.

Chapter 7

And here is chapter 7, was hoping to get it out sooner but my net has been a bit dodgy lately and its impossibly hard to load web pages.

Also, just a random thought, but am I the only one who thinks that if Rei used all his magic power and burnt the entire forest down it would end up something like the start of Death March?

Legend Chapters 3-6 + More Stuff

Wow…I actually managed to do it…
Anyway, hello again, especially to those who came over from 87%translation. I was wondering what happened when my traffic doubled.

If any of you feel I took 87% project without asking, I have apologized to him if he saw it as such, it was not my intention. He has since replied and all is good.
I didn’t realize that he had already translated up to chapter 5 and as a result….I somehow finished 4 chapters.
For those who haven’t read 87%’s translations, here are 4 chapters, for those that have, here’s the next one.

Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Chapter 6

Legend chapters are really long, I’m not kidding. For comparison, the Magi Craft Meister chapters that I’ve worked on average around 2.5-3k characters, peaking at 4k, Legend chapters average 4.5-5k peaking at 6k so yeah, they’re long.

On to the subject of terminology, my preference is to keep the names as close to the original sound as possible unless the name is a reference to something. What does everyone think? Would you like me to keep the names as they are or would you like me to anglicize them?
Lastly, please be nice to your translators. Believe it or not, we aren’t mindless translating machines…we can edit >.<

Legend Chapter 2 + Schedule

Hey, I’m finally done with exams and all. Then my internet dropped out for 2 days starting from the day I finished my exams *grumbles*.

Anyway here’s chapter 2.

Onto my planned schedule, I’ll be releasing 1 chapter a week over the weekend. Extra chapters may come out during the week depending on how big my buffer is. I don’t want to burn myself out and drop this.

On a side note, if you see a door with a long warning on it, you should definitely consider what might happen before you open it.
