Legend Chapter 17

Here’s Chapter 17.

Sometimes I forget that I’m a few chapters ahead of you guys and end up leaving cliffhangers without thinking much about it.

In this chapter, the staple of fantasy stories in introduced, I mean what kind of fantasy doesn’t have goblins? Come to think of it, I don’t recall ever hearing about goblins in Lord of the Rings…either that or because I’ve never read the trilogy.

EDIT: My bad guys, I forgot to make it a child page under the Legend group which mean that it had a different name, link should be working now.

Legend Chapter 16

Here’s Chapter 16

Now I know Zepairu was a bit off but you still have to commend him. Would you be able to keep the time if you were stuck as a glowing orb in another dimension for so long?

Also, you might laugh at the people running away from Set but what would be your reaction if someone with a lion walked out on to the main street right in front of you?

I was short on time last week so I missed the series of the week, but anyway, here’s another recommendation. Perfect World, I found it when it moved to Wuxia World and went through 90 chapters in a bit over a day. The best I can explain it without spoiling anything is that a stupidly strong little kid goes around trolling everyone and everything. It’s not so obvious in the early chapters but in the later ones it gets really crazy.

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.
