Story Synopsis (from B-T)

The countries of Mephius and Garbera have been waging a war for ten years and are trying to put an end to this long fight through a political marriage between the two royal families. Orba, who was driven from his home because of the war and was forced to become a gladiator, looks exactly like the crown prince of Mephius, and it has been decided he will be substituting him during the wedding ceremony. On the other hand, Vileena, the princess of Garbera, has secretly decided to ensnare the crown prince for her own country’s interests.

This Ln is also interesting. Actually, it translated on B-T by Dogma. And his work is of high quality. And I think it's, like Madan a socio-politico LN. The translation is on B-T in vol1 ch4, and advances at a proper pace. I also intend to help translating after finishing with Madan.

I want to know if there is the Chinese version of this LN.

There is, translation is some where around volume 10.

This is a pretty addictive series, I read everything on BT in one sitting, I wonder why is it not that popular especially as its a completed series with some really interesting characters.

I think it's because many people don't know that such LN exists. That's why I open a thread here.

It's actually a pretty unappreciated series, there's actually no summaries anywhere(not that I know of).

One of my favorites. I unconditionally give it my thumbs up.

For those interested, 11 of the 12 volumes have been translated in Chinese (over a very long time. Snail like speed).

So only vol 11 and 12 in chinese, huh. Well, good.

[Hemisphere]

This, Mismarka Koukoku Monogatari, and Gabriella Senki.

Good politics-heavy reads.

[alviam099]

Err, setsuna, I think he meant 11 out of 12 volumes are Chinese translated.

It's a good thing to read if you like your book bloody, very interesting even if the translated parts in English are short.

^ basically, the only volume not done is the final one.

Ah ok. so have you the link of the chinese LN of Rakuin?

[whsie]

the translations are done by different translation groups and people (e.g. volume 8 was half way done and then picked up by another), so getting the original source would be a pain.

Just go to the standard host website if you want to read it
