Overlord Volume 9 by Armaell

Here is the long awaited final translated volume by SkyTheWood's team. Thank for their awesome work, it have been a long ride !
Also, the wait will be long until we will be able to read what's next.
For now, the files will disappear after the 14th of January, meaning one month from now. After that, when the books will be released by Yen-Press, I will replace them with the amazon links.

Slave Harem ch1-100 by Armaell

So, no release since nearly two weeks except the little Kuro no Maou).. Yeah time is hard, lot of other work to do and I felt bad to not release anything new.
In the same time it start to be hard to find stuff to make in epub, so if you ave any request don't hesitate to say it !.

Like Slave Harem, until now I avoided MTL translations, but since it was a request I didn't really knew what to do.. it's done.

Also, I made it by chapter grouping.. don't quite like it, but I cound't find a correlation between the published version and the webversion. Si if you know how is actually split the story, I'll be able to add covers.

On the Chinese/Japanese light novel war by Armaell

Armaell's avatar

I'm sorry, on this post I will call Chinese Xianxia and Wuxia under the same denomination as Light Novel since per definition they are pretty similar :

"Targeting young adults with a low depth story or quality writing."

So I just seen this post on reddit : Starting to hate all the JP-novels and I laughed. Since a good time I've seen this war between Chinese and Japanese Light Novels the same as : "Playstation vs XBox", "Console vs PC", "Microsoft vs Apple" and all others pointless wars like that.

The point of the reddit post is

"Japanese MC are coward while Chinese are realistic and takes actions".

I would say : nearly true... just remove "realistic" and you're good. NONE of them are realistic ! They are the two side of the same coin that is Wish-fulfillment just taken in a opposite point of view.

  • The Japanese MC is truly a coward, which will do nothing whatever crass happen to him and will be oblivious to any hint dropped on him. He is totally passive
  • The Chinese MC get butt hurt at the first thing, get violent and think women are the way.

Both of them are totally stupid in fact.. Actually even if I'm not historian or cultural expert so I'm probably wrong but it make me think of their country history and cultural situation :

  • China have been enslaved by Japan and is now reduced to silence by his government. Chinese probably want to be able to act, make a difference but are just silenced. The water boiling leak in their Xianxia and Wuxia.
  • Japan are totally ashamed of their past wars and try their best to forget (I'v heard even their history book try to not talk about it or the less they can.. totally making the new generation to know the less about it), and also in a society bringing the organization and the country before the individual making them transparent.

Of course all of that is only relevant for their low-standard writing that are light novels ; both country have totally capable writers and thinker writing true books. The same that western countries have our amateur writers on website like RoyalRoad for I-don-'t-need-too-much-my-brain-to-read.

And my personal preference in all that ? Ahha sorry, I'm more original English works. But you can check my recommendation list too.

Daybreak on Hyperion updated by Armaell

Apparently Aorii did enough changes in the first two books to request me to update the files. So here they are. If you kept it in your library, same as me (Well, mine is this website ahah), it means it's time to update them. For the most crazy of you, it's time to read the story again and try to find the change !

Ok, for the most crazy ones, open the two files side to side and find all the difference without cheating !
If you find them all.. Well, I won't approach you since you're too crazy....

For now, you will still find in epub and pdf still at the same place.

Oh, I have to say : if you didn't read Daybreak yet ; knows that I just added it on my recommendation list ! Yeah, it's worth this much.

Seiun wo Kakeru V02 by Armaell

We have a pack of day with non-stop release ! Pretty cool !
But I'm starting to have no enough time to everything.. I have to search a new internship, I have a new software development to start and also this website to put content and polish (like how comments are unreadable on mobile, or the pain in the ass to download all of Douluo Dalu ahahah)

Still, this is a light book, as light that is the content. Enjoy !
