@Shiroi-Hane Regarding the "Special-grade Guild" title. The Japanese used for it is 特級 which is essentially the kanji for "Special" and then the kanji for "Rank/class/grade". Having done some personal investigation on this I thought that "Special Guild" might be simplifying it too much considering in chapter 146 of the web novel another guild is mentioned as being 上級 which would be like "high rank" or "high grade". Essentially the guilds have a rank/grade system so it should probably be called "Special-rank" or "Special-grade" to avoid a translation headache later.

I am actually the web novel fan translator myself. I am sure not all of the translation decisions I did are the best though and I have been changing names frequently.

It’s still not tagged as completed on BookWalker, but the author confirms it’s finished.

Actually ended up getting all of these in a recent sale having got vaguely interested and wanting to read more. Would be interested in seeing this translated.

Is her upper body really turning 90°+ relative to her hips, or is she like that permanently (birth defect?)? Her outfit seems like it was cut for such a position as I don’t see any wrinkles in the cloth from such a twist at the waist, unless her right arm is concealing a gap between the skirt and the top that’s showing a fair amount of sideboob.

I don’t know about the story, but I’m currently underwhelmed by the artist.

@sorvani said in Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World:

From what I understand the LN stripped out the graphic sex description leaving it just ecchi compared to the original WN.

You have been misinformed. The WN also fades to black at the beginning of sex scenes; only the bath scenes are present. 異世界迷宮で奴隷ハーレムを is published on the all-ages side of syosetu, not the R18 side.

Heads up that the manga adaption for this is actually already being translated, licensed by Kaiten Books.

At least try to support them there if you're interested in the manga adaption.

I really love the manga for this one, I'd support that. The manga adaption is long-running right now with 20 volumes.

Manga volume 23 released last month. I'd support the manga adaption if it is ever picked up.

Seems like an interesting laid-back story I would like to read. It‘s definitely rare to have two female main characters.

Seems like quite the exiting story. I‘m always in for such manga!

@Torka Yes we need it, I wanna read it and my crusade to bring JNC Nina to it is not working, gotta bring main JNC to it then!

Looks like Yen Press has now also rescued this:

@JeweledPoisonousButterfly
Yeah.
The main problem seems to be the need for cultural expertise for the translations when dealing with Korean and Chinese original (and the different nuances associated with the languages), and Korean has far less in common when it comes to character set.

Basically, they'd have to replicate their entire structure to add an additional Asian language, which is a major investment.

Given the 'recent' launch of J-Novel Nina (the Japanese to French/German EU Common Market initiative) I can't say it's inconceivable...just highly unlikely.

@Shiroi-Hane Thanks! I am only aware of the manga because of the bookworm and tearmoon reference.
