TL: So I have some bad news for myself, the first two volumes of the amber sword that I ordered are ‘Out of Print’ – Which I won’t be able to tell if there is any difference in the WN and LN version.

I can do this marathon of chapters since I’m doing it on my free time and treating like my break, but I’ll be working on my art assignments for the next 2 weeks after this. If you guys want more of the chapters from the series, then I can only shake my donation box, paypal:

, and ask for some support here.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed the past few days. And feel free to skip to the main story, or be prepared to have a long read about the previous poll’s thoughts.

TL: I love polls. It gives me insight to the human soul!

JK.

So I assume the people who voted ‘others’ means that this series resembles korean novels and their VRMMORPG protagonists’ counterparts? Maybe it’s because of Brendel stealing the spider ring from the necromancer and his love for loot… 8)

I’m surprised that the choice ‘JP novel’ got the highest votes, although I can’t tell if it’s because of my TL style or because the plot sounds like JP stuff. Maybe it resembles Log Horizon in some ways? Hmm….

So ‘Western novel’. At first when I read the first few chapters and skimmed through the later ones, I thought it’s going to be a bit like game of thrones, wheel of time, or some western novel in the beginning, but the development of epic plot is slow here. Don’t get me wrong, I still think there’s a presence of dragons and dungeons influence, and I’m enjoying the journey the protagonist is having, but it’s a little different than what I expected. I spent a considerable amount of time thinking about name translations, gosh, the amount of names….swoon.

‘Chinese novels’ received a pretty warm reception with 14.5%. I personally thought it’s going to be one of the lowest because it’s missing that flavor text of ‘You don’t know mount tai!’ or ‘You’re seeking death!’ or ‘*insert reference to face* or ‘the time of 1 joss stick or time of a few breaths or the time to empty 1 teacup of tea’. Lol.

Despite the nice story here, it’s a fact that CN web-novelists get paid by the amount of words they put into each chapter, and I feel like they are writing against a deadline in many chapters. So this is the only part where I think it resembles a Chinese novel, for all the wrong reasons >_>.

If you are able to read the raws without relying on MTL, you might find that there’s a fair bit of difference in the writing style and it’s in need of an editor like all other ReadNovelFulls. If you MTL the series, then I’ll just warn you guys again that I edit the series heavily. Plot is generally intact, but don’t get confused if you see all sorts of small details missing or added in.

I rewrote the sloppy areas, removed filler words as much as I could and added details to most of the major fights. Hopefully the story is polished and presented with a stylistic flair in English.

Truth be told, I was actually concerned a few weeks ago, cause the score for this series in novelupdates was 2.8/5.0, which made me wonder if it was because the story simply sucked, or my TL sucked, or a combination of the two. Fortunately the score climbed up, so I feel more confident to let the cat out of the bag. Cough.

‘Mixture of the great three’ (JP, CN, Eng). Nothing much to say here, plenty of reasons listed as above. I personally vote this category.
