Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu

Hard pass, sounds boring AF.

I liked the anime and would like to read the novel too.
-
Would love to read the second series, but it may never be. 😔

That cover is from the sequel, Dai Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu.
Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu covers are:
IIRC Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu is fully fan TLed, and Dai Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu is fan TLed till volume 9.

So there’s nothing in the thread about the plot or characters. I happen to have caught a couple episodes of the anime, so I have a bit of an idea about it. Still, I didn’t realize that’s what it was because of the lack of info. Anybody want to sell me (and potentially other forum dwellers passing through) on the series? I wasn’t all that keen on the anime, so I don’t think I’d be a good person for getting others interested.

@EmpactWB Yeah, sadly, two years ago, i didn't really knew about the rules hahaha ...
I think i would need to put a better summary ... <_<
I will edit that a little ! -
Wow, it's been a while since I watched the anime but I remember liking it a bit, certainly would check out LNs.
I tried fan translations but I found them hard to read... -
the story to me is quite good. Lots of self-worth and existential questions. To compare it owari seraph, it is like heaven and earth. I am hoping there will be an official translation since the fan translation stopped. It would be great if J-Novel to take this as their next project to sell.

I love this series. For over a decade I hoped it would get officially licensed, but alas. It's a series which is very hard to explain or really promote in an overview because of how the story unfolds and the general pacing. Even so, when it gets going it is something special. Great chaarcters, complex plot, interesting world, and some pretty intriguing themes.
The risks and likely reasons it will never be licensed are pretty obvious though. First, JNC has already taken several risks with older licenses and they haven't entirely panned out. It's unlikely this would be even considered for a physical release in English and that would be the only way seemingly to make this maybe work.
Second, this would be a pretty big commitment. The first main part of the series is 11 volumes and the second main part is 17 volumes and still not finished and hasn't received a new volume in six years, granted the author is pretty busy and there has been some hints from Fantasia recently that it will return soon. That isn't all though as someone pointed out earlier in the thread, there are two side-story titles with crucial information for the second part with one being 8 volumes and the other being 11. I can't imagine anyone would license just the first part without the second, but that would also bring into question the two side-stories, which brings the total volume count to 47. This could be slightly mitigated by licensing the manga adaptation of the 8 volume side-story from Square Enix, but that's still a 4 volume manga to consider.
Third, it's hard to determine if there could be traction for this to get an audience. Unlike some of the older licenses like Orphen, Full Metal Panic!, Slayers, & Earl and Fairy, there wasn't much previously released English material or even much of an English fanbase. Granted cases like Orphen & Earl and Fairy with more of a presence in English-speaking markets still struggle to sell. Even though it did get an anime that was licensed, simulcasted and dubbed by Funimation, that was in 2010. Even though the anime did a mixed job as an adaptation, I probably wouldn't be as big a fan of light novels as I am today without it. But even back then, while there was a bit of a fanbase around it, it always seemed pretty small. There are some fans of Takaya Kagami due to Seraph of the End, but I have my doubts that can be leveraged to help out here.
Regardless of the obstacles, I think the story and quality of the work is worth taking a look at. And hopefully one day it will somehow be licensed for an official English release.

I am from the future. I still need a translation of this :')
