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.
LikeLike
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.

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.

So…. Is it a harem?…… Sigh…. Its not right? Right?
LikeLike
Eh…probably not? Well not as far as I’ve translated at least. First female MC to stick around only appears around chapter 60. Take that as you will.
LikeLike
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.
LikeLike
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.
LikeLike
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.
LikeLike
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.
