@Lotteliese said in Manhwa and Korean web/novel translations?:

Wattpad has started to release about 10 Korean web novels.

After the acquisition of Wattpad by Line Webtoon's parent company Naver, Webtoon launched its own YONDER reading App where webnovels can be read for free. Their lineup are made up of original English webfiction and Korean webnovels.

YONDER App is subjected to region locking on App stores.

I'm not sure if it counts as a light novel, but I've heard Dungeon Defence is very different between the web and published versions.

@Naelidaan
That's understandable if that's the case.

@Todd-Graves-qtcwnyr Every series page on J-Novel Club has the Japanese title included. All you have to do is copy paste. Of course a Japanese website is not going to come up when you use the English alphabet.

@jpwong Neat, thanks for the explanation.

@sean-mccann said in Grimgar no longer published by J-Novel?:

Can't say exactly when it will happen, but we should hopefully be starting up the next volume on here "soon."
My schedule is cleared as of this week, so I finally have time to get back to translating weekly parts for it.

"What are we reading?!"
"Grimgar of the Ashes!"
"When are we reading it?!"
"Real soon now!"

Apropos of nothing, I feel like Harre could lower their hiring requirements if they didn't have a portal in their main office to demon-infested hinterlands.

If by 'web novel' one means books published for free on the web in installments, ala Narou, but not necessarily falling within any specific genre...

For English original web fiction I'd recommend various of Fel's works (search for 'Sennadar forums' to find his site) for stuff that falls more toward what shows up at Narou and such. The forums there also have a topic with the title something like 'links to good reading' which has some surprisingly good suggestions.

Wes Boyd (not the 'Move on' guy) wrote a series of interconnected novels set in a slightly fictionalized late 20th century Michigan, with forays elsewhere in the US. (Search for 'Spearfish Lake Tales'.)
He died several years back, but his family has cooperated with his fans to keep his site active, and to finish posting those works he had far enough along that he had them listed as 'OK to have his editors finish them up in the case of his death'.

Would be great if the publisher would get vol 10 out but that probably won't happen.

@terabyte I forgot to reply to the later part of your comment. Yeah I know the web novel is a little different. Another change is that in the WN, Lycia's encounter with the demon comes a little later. However, aside from that and the stuff about Gown, I find the LN follows the WN pretty closely. So, while I have to wait months and months for the next volumes of the LN, I can satiate myself a bit.

Web Novel is different from the Light Novel.

Changes had been made going from WN to LN.

For example, , vol 9-10 are LN original and doesn't exist in the WN.

Ok, thanks.
I read on another topic that JNC doesn't translate WN but only LN (at least for now), so I wasn't sure what it meant.

@georgemto said in Do you want to try read an Chinese Novels:

@jon-mitchell That $35 price is for the cost of the entire series I think. I read SCOG back when it was still translating, so such an option didn't exist. Amazon is asking $5 per volume, with 3 currently listed. According to another post on wuxiaworld, there will be at least 5 volumes.

Which then would make more sense to buy them individually. 5 books for 5 each makes 25. So 35 would be a markup.

@lily-garden No worries! I love being able to share it too, especially since it may not be published.

Anyway, on my nth read of this I just realized that the timeline between Paul pov and Simeon pov are a bit wonky. After the city chase, it's 2 days until Paul meet Marielle again, then after that Paul went to get Milene's approval to publish, and do a whole lot of things until the book is ready to sell. It probably would take weeks. I don't believe it took that long for Poisson to meet Simeon again and laugh at him about the "mission", lol.

Love what a good kid Marielle is. This prequel is reinforcing that her self-deprecation isn't how people would see her objectively though. From the pov of a commoner, she still counts as rich and privileged. And her grandfather being the chancellor in a university where Simeon's father probably works at means her social connection to the Flauberts is not as distant as she thought.

@Florence-Carsula - I realize this is a really old post, but it intrigued me. Does 'love triangle' mean any arrangement of three (or more) people?

A loves B, C love B, B loves A

A loves B & C, B loves A & C, C loves A & B

A loves C, B loves C, C is superdense and doesn't realize that anyone loves C

Or is it supposed to reference only circular arrangements:
