[Light Novel] The Moonlight Sculptor

[Nihgthawk]

According to the Royalroadl website they will NOT be translating anymore of LMS but will be translating the authors new work Dawn Traveler. They state that they did not recive permison to translate vol 21+ from the author but did get information that the series will hopefully be released in English over Amazon within two years.

AKA Jawz translation site is the only one translating LMS and will be the only one to do so with in the foreseeable future and while I hope that the series will be released officially in English two years is a long time and a lot can happen in that time frame so I am not holding my breath on that out come.

Yeah it's awesome that he's translating it. I think they found more translators.

Also just to note that on this website there is a pretty awesome story written by the owner of the website. I'm not sure if you can call it a fan fiction, but it does take some elements from LMS and Ark but it seems like its a different world all together.

I highly recommend it.

It's called Zectas.

A question for those who've read the series further than 10 volumes (since I'm currently around vol 9). I accidentally read someone's comments who doesn't put any spoiler that

Spoiler for spoiler:

Weed and Seo Yoon are dating.

When I read that I was like "wait, wut? DAT WEED?
I regretted reading that but still, I got really curious as to how it could happen but I just wanna ask a few things:

Spoiler for questions:

-In which volume does that happen? Is it the already translated ones or is it volume 20++?
-Do they already clear up their misunderstandings (mostly in Weed's part)?
-Do they date irl or only in the game?

EDIT: Read the first spoiler at your own risk, I don't know in which part of the volume that happened.

'Tis true. It took a long while but it did happen. I've only read the summaries from RoyalRoadl.com from a while back though (Last time I checked it was up to v44).

Spoiler for MoreSpoilers! A lot of stuff happened like::

- Seoyoon actually buying a house next to his & is a frequent visitor of course.
- Grew to know more about his greedy side, but lets it slide since she sees how it's justified at times
- The creator of the game actually grew fond of Weed. Even helped them on their little "date" (in the real world) by using his powerful AI creation to set the mood. Really. Seriously.

---

For the record, for me, I've always visualized Seoyoon looking like this (And yes, those are artwoks):

Spoiler for Seoyoon:

So yeah, I would say "a beauty that takes your breath away" really fits well.

Looks like they're planning on trying to publish this in english again with better illustrations.

[Netto Azure]

Yeah. Too bad this series is huge. I mean that it will take a decade before we even get on the current translated volume...which is halfway through. >_>

So the published version might be cancelled if it even catches up to the Korean original in 20 years...

The Gary Stu ride never ends.

[Netto Azure]

That term has been used so much to the point that it doesn't even have meaning anymore other than "characters I don't like" ~_~

Sorry for the late reply.

Oh, lol that's awesome, but from your reply, I'm guessing that happens in volume 20++ which are still not translated?

no.

[Infinite Universe]

What Volume and Chapter does he go with his peers to an island and do survival training there? Wanna reread that chapter PLZ TELL ME

[SinsI]

I always wonder - why don't he just craft a raid-worth or at least a party-worth troop of various living statues and just let them farm XP, gold and items for him - similar to the way Binryoung does? After that his own combat abilities or level will be completely irrelevant, since there will always be a whole bodyguard unit to protect him. This way he can completely concentrate on improving his crafting skills, and huge influx of materials from those statues will ensure rapid growth...

He doesn't get exp from his sculptures kills and don't forget he's gotta invest his own levels proportional to the strength of the sculpture he brings to life. The most important factor is just because he's the creator doesn't always grant loyalty.

[SinsI]

That's only 1-2 levels per statue. He can easily afford to craft a dozen statues.

He can earn XP from quests that the party would do, so no exp is not a problem.
Lack of loyalty is the only possible reason it can fail, but it seems that his physical presence is able to successfully control even the lazy wyverns, so all he really have to do is to periodically check on its progress - which should not be a problem as he will be doing it anyway by getting the loot they gathered.

What are you talking about? He got absolute loyalty from the sculptors he gave life to.

To be honest, I'm suprise he still haven't create a living armor set yet. I mean after the living wings, he should have figure out that he can actually give live to items sculptors.

[yuzen003]

He received a vision about Geihar Von Arpen when he fixed the emperor's seal so he has the information that building a statue army would help him conquer and maintain an empire. On the other hand if his statues are going around clearing monsters and obliterating enemy armies Weed is not really going to be fighting and his television contracts go away.

At this point Weed is looking at Royal Road as a source of income not as a game, so why put resources into something that is going to decrease his income.

Sculpture not Sculptor.
