View Full Version : The Legend of Maian
I couldn't find a thread for this manhwa so here's an introduction to this series. The author is IM-Dal Young, who's also worked on Kurokami, Aflame Inferno, Freezing, and other works you might recognize.
http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:U1H6Iht3Zc_WyM:http://crazytje.be/manga/files/The_Legend_Of_Maian/The_Legend_Of_Maian.jpg&t=1
Genres: Action Adventure Ecchi Fantasy Romance Shounen
"A powerful sorceress, Felicia Rand Philistin, once tried to conquer the nation of Shurian. In her wake of terror and destruction, a single man stood up and rebelled against her oppression and domination. The people called him Maian the Brave (Yongja Maian) and it was he that sealed the evil sorceress.
A thousand years later, Fenix Maian in a strange twist of fate releases the sealed sorceress that his ancestors have tried so hard to keep imprisoned. Now he has to keep the sorceress from taking over the world once again... "
That description is taken from BU, although its basically Felicia and Felix going on a journey together.
Anyways, the art is great as is the tsundere-ness from Felicia and Felix. It's a very nice light-hearteded read for those that appreciate fantasy shounen with romance

I was wondering when someone would get this going. XD
The art is good and fanservicey - always a plus. There's only 3-5 Korean artists that I've actively seen but they all draw extremely well so your eyes won't suffer from lack of 'candy'.
If one has seen/read the manga named 'Bastard!', it is pretty similar to it except Felicia's not all that interested in aquiring a male harem for herself even though she could definitely have her pick of any man.

lol this was actually on my to do list, was meaning to make a thread for this for bloody ages but just never got round to it.
Should have as well, as this is my favorite work of Im Dal Young, more so than UxU or Aflame.
Well thats more down to the fact I like the setting. Swords, magic and beasts is always gonna be a fav of mine plus it helps that the art as expected, is great!:D
Felicia is hawt and cool and all but I think I'm more of a Lyna fan, nothing like a flaming redhead to set ya alight:p

Are volumes 4 to 6 that bad, or do you mean that you haven't already read them yourself?
It just started getting really good at the end of volume 6 with the tournament thing so I'd say they meant haven't read them...
As we see Fenix starting to get bad ass in vol 6. The only sort of downside is from what I heard the tournament arc is still going on in the latest volume 9. Although Fenix supposedly fully awakens his bloodline in it...

Woah, it's not finished in the volume 9 :twitch: And yeah, Felix was really badass in the volume 6. And I like the end pf this volume with theFeliciaXFelix development :love: Also, I like the way Felicia lost. Original and it doesn't make her weak :)
The Legend of Maian is a great manwha with great charcater and very funny. I highly recommend it !

I just wish there had been a better plot device to bring out the bloodline. I mean not even a hint here and there that it could be feasible that he could awaken it but I suppose Felicia's not one to do anything half-assed. :heh:

The hot nun surprised me, I was wondering what crazy fighting style she would show or if she was gonna do some "HOLY POSES" for us;):heh:
Thankfully(sort of) it was some crazy fighting style.
But you know who we need more of, Ma Jin the silent guy, whatever small parts he's had have been pretty entertaining:D

The hot commando nun was/is incredibly hot...and incredibly sweet too...and incredibly sexy when doing her 'death glare'... Hopefully she knows healing spells as well. Her wonderful assests would be most welcome to the Felix team. :naughty:
Looks interesting. I might check up on it. Though, I have some "lite" dislike of Korean comics. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice to thread for this. Its one of my favorite works by Im Dal Young. This tournament reminds me of Yu Yu Hakusho(and others) since it actually is long. I don't really mind it personally.
I heard Felix awakens his bloodline fully later on. I wonder how Felicia and her crew take will be on that development.
Read all 6 volumes last week, was going to make a thread but I was too lazy lol. Really enjoyed this, nice cast of characters and its nice to see some development between Felicia and Felix as well as Felix started to level up.
Btw what do you think the chances of Felicia being connected in some manner to that god like Felix's bother points out in the second or third chapter? Also interesting to see all the flashbacks we see of Felicia seen through other people she seems really dignified as opposed to her delightful narcissistic self we see in the manga.

There's only a few things that would mentally scar someone and having that as a back story would do it. Well, Felix has done it - now we'll see what the power is that beat back all the Regis Knights and Felicia herself 1,000 years ago.

Well, it was quite a stupid plot development.
Like how the other regis knights husband burned to death. Who didn't see that coming? Especially with how annoying he was being. And what kind of villagers go 'hmm, there's a guy who's possibly a berserker and gets stronger the angrier he gets. Let's all go to his house , pose intimidatingly and THEN annoy him to get him to go berserk"
You'd think the whole point was not to anger the berserker -_-

True, but people do stupid things like that all the time. Did you hear of the women last year who covered her baby with honey because she wanted to have the baby take a picture with the bear? I bet you can image what happened. Yeah I rest my case.

It's not supposed to make sense. People act irrationally when they're in fear or panic. I can cite the Salem Witchcraft Trials and hysteria as a historical example. One way to test for a witch was to sink the accused in a pond or a lake. If the accused floated to the surface, he or she was deemed a witch and executed. If the accused sunk and drowned, then he or she was not guilty.

Yeah, I bet if it was demonstrable that witches could kill you with a look instead of just being helpless little girls there would have been a whole hell of a lot less angry mobs and a whole lot more running.

I hate those 'no-win' trials. That's like having a knife made of silver and you have to get stabbed in the heart to prove that you're not a werewolf. But...how many normal people live through a knife stab to their heart in the first place...:eyebrow: or something stupide like that.
I don't pity those villagers at all - I knew that they were too dumb to live and when he went apeshit on them, I was nodding. All because of that horny jerkoff got cockblocked. We men can be such idiots sometimes.

I think the volume 10 will be out in october.
Four months between one volume and the 9 have been out in June.
Volume 9's out...
Felix was pretty badass in his Blood Fines mode. Not bothered that he couldn't handle it in the end. Granted it was an instant power-up which I'm not a fan of, but he doesn't remember or can control it. Rest of the volume was a little drama romance wise I guess you can call it. Adding another member to the knights. Then ending things with Felicia taking a hit for Felix. Volume 10 looks like it might focus on the baddies more...
Tempest35
2010-11-23, 19:40
Well the Tourny's over -thank goodness. So Felix lost the match on a technical point but he won over a descendant of Urameshi*. Good job Felix but oh how quickly you go back to being so useless and whiny. :heh:
I'd bawl like a baby if those luscious boobies were going to be taken away from me too...

Yes but he has that one fine oneesama along for the ride so he'll never be hurting for boobies. :heh:
Wow. Felicia's surprisingly squishy. You'd think that she would have some kind of passive shield aura-thingy like Felix did when he went Blood-Fine mode.

Wow... I think 53 was the most hammy chapter I've read in awhile...
starting reading today and i must say it surpassed everything i expected its very good even though im still on vol 3
but how dows the relationship between feliciaxfelix go hopefully not to slow
Tempest35
2010-12-06, 22:34
It's...painful to watch...:heh:
That's the best way I can describe it. There's lot of focus on them (too much, sometimes) and Felicia acts like some highschool girl as well but at certain times, she does show that she's the woman of the relationship.
She reminds me of an EXTREMELY toned down DS from the manga BASTARD! Similiar premise and even beginning but from there, it's two totally different monsters.
ohh ending of v9 was amazing.... the tournament ends great ending with everything and the development between F x F in this volume is overflowing especially how it all ended this author sure knows how to tug on ya. Felix annoys sometimes but is very little he is always willing tp put it on the line especially if its Felicia
Lol 91 days and still no progress in translation... I wish any good scanlation group will pick up this series...
That's what usually happens when they do volume releases and even more for the fact that it's a joint project...
So there is a thread for this
anyways, having read pretty much all of his other works (minus Zero, which is too far tragic for my tastes, as well as Phantom knight), I just picked this up a couple days ago. Sadly, I can't say very much; I'm only on ch. 3. But, if this is similar to any of his other works, then I'll be plowing through it
btw, if anyone checks out mangatoshokan, notice how this guy's works are all the bolded ones...
... hopefully this won't count as a double post...
anyways, it did turn out to be like all his other works, it would seem... ended up plowing through all scanlated chapters, and it was a very touching moment at the end of ch 53... dammit, I hope vol 10 goes on sale within the next month or two. That way, even if I have to wait for the scanlations, the RAWs should hopefully appear. And I don't suppose anyone has any idea of how to find out when 10 goes on sale (or maybe it is already on sale...?)
Lol 91 days and still no progress in translation... I wish any good scanlation group will pick up this series...
You can't translate what hasn't been released, people are waiting on the next volume to come out.
Tried this one out......
Hmmm, decent but not one of his better works in my opinon, I mean Felix is your normal wimpy kid with the latent super friggin awesome ability and Felicia (while fairly amusing in her own right) is the bombastic kick ass lady who has weakness for said wimpy kid.
Well, the awesome art like in all Dal-Yung's manga helps sell it so, meh it's ok.
Yeah, the story is pretty generic but enough to keep my interest. The art is pretty amazing.

It's like junk food. It's actually pretty bad, as far as fantasy goes, but you don't really mind.
As said, Felix is a wimp with an overpowered berserk button that we've seen before, and Felicia isn't all that charismatic for a world-conquering goddess. The characters *tell* us she's Epic After All when it comes down to it, but I don't really see that. What's worse the manga isn't afraid to pile on the clichés and the sappiness.
Yet somehow you kind of want it to turn out good. Manga with fantasy elements is everywhere, but straight out classic high fantasy manga is actually pretty rare.
That's a good way of putting it, "junk food". It's decent.
Still Lim-Dal Young has put out tastier snacks, like Freezing for example.

You know you could actually tag all of Young's works as junk food, Legend of Maian is my favorite cause of it's setting but if I had to say I do think that UxU is probably the best series overall but all in all, all his works lack....not so much alot of stuff but enough to say they are pretty "meh", it's really a thankful thing the art is top notch.
Here's hoping Felix's mans up alot and stays manly when he does. I'm actually growing tired of guys have that moment of manliness and then reverting back to their wimpy ways when the moment passes.

All of those are by the same person. He has a couple more like Phantom King and ReBirth: Lunatic Taker. I don't like him working on so many at once. I personally find Freezing the least enjoyable out of all his works. Not saying that I don't like it just least enjoyable.

Probably are.
Just by looking at them, I can tell that all the illustrators are different.
Favorite illustrations are easily the one for Orihime VS, but frankly they all are good.
And like the great Bill Waterson said, if you don't have great writing, you better go for broke on the art.
Raw for volume 10 is out and talk about an evil cliffhanger from hell. Some are comparing the LN to it and thinking everyone bit the dust, but I think it's way too soon for that to happen. I mean they just now confronted the evil end boss Diha Sion and they all die? Hopefully they divert from the LN and go a different route because things were just getting good with Felix starting to awaken his power even further. That and things were getting juicy between Felicia and him...

In my opinion a bad ending where everyone dies doesn't seem to fit for this story. For this to happen it's just to lighthearted and to much of a comedy (I've read up to chapter 52).
Sila.
The problem is, even though in a lot of respects it is light-hearted with comedy, there's still a very dark side to this story. Let's not forget about the redhead or the newest knight (dammit, I've already forgotten their names...), shall we?
As for the LN... yes, I've heard it's complete and has a Bad End. But I've also heard that the two mediums have already started diverging from each other, so hopefully we'll get a pretty good end (that, and I don't want to see what happened to the redhead early in the story be repeated with Felicia)

She is really dead. O_o
Look at the end ...
A new part and adventure began ...
I don't really get this, if she's dead wouldn't the other guy just kinda turn to dust also? I thought that it was part of the contract that when she died so did all of her minions.
So either its a plot hole, a chance that they're still alive or me forgetting something important.
It's a long shot, but god I hope they come back, that felt way to rushed at the end to even make the deaths seem worthwhile.

Not difficult to think about that.

He wanted to kill Ferris and the other Regis Knights, he must be smart enought to have thought about that ...
He waited for decades. ^^

Considering it's a korean story, they're probably not dead yet. It wouldn't be tragic enough -_-
I dunno after reading the notes on the last page it seems...
We get all new characters expect for Felix and Ruby in the next volume. I hope it isn't permanent, because that would suck ass if Felicia is gone for good...
I do wonder if these new characters will be the other Regis Knights though...?

I hope felicia isn't gone for good. If she comes back, it'll probably be at the end of the story. Hopefully the new characters turn out to be decent.
They time travel, it happens in the light novel. Felix was sent to the future and he tries to find a way to the past to save Felicia.

So Raynor did you read the LN? All our problems can be solved if someone with the LN spoils us just a little bit.

Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like the same plot device that happened in Id as well...
So after reading the latest volume...
Well, I wonder what trick Diha had up his sleeve... after all, if he was supposedly the most brilliant one, then you would think he'd realize that no Felicia= he dead too. But I suspect doing the Magi experiments lead to something that would allow him to survive even Felicia dying. Otherwise, I'm getting Kurohime vibes based on what's been said... the only positive is that Im Dal Young's a better storyteller than the mangka to Kurohime was. Time paradox... that's gonna suck if we get something like that. Overall, I hope that vol 11 will be out by the end of summer (or maybe sooner)... and that we don't get the infamous manwha type ending of "Felix is alone, with Felicia dead", or perhaps the other way around. In the meantime, I've got much more to catch up on

Seems like a lot of Korean manga likes to do the part 1 part 2 split.
So after reading the latest volume...
Well, I wonder what trick Diha had up his sleeve... after all, if he was supposedly the most brilliant one, then you would think he'd realize that no Felicia= he dead too. But I suspect doing the Magi experiments lead to something that would allow him to survive even Felicia dying. Otherwise, I'm getting Kurohime vibes based on what's been said... the only positive is that Im Dal Young's a better storyteller than the mangka to Kurohime was. Time paradox... that's gonna suck if we get something like that. Overall, I hope that vol 11 will be out by the end of summer (or maybe sooner)... and that we don't get the infamous manwha type ending of "Felix is alone, with Felicia dead", or perhaps the other way around. In the meantime, I've got much more to catch up on
Wow wtf, don't know if I will continue reading if Felicia is no longer around.
Wow dont tell me........
Did Felix and felicia have sex.
I was wondering that myself... on one hand, there's a lot to imply that they did. But on the other hand, he seems surprised to see her in his bed the following morning, implying that she simply snuck into his bed as she has a bad tendency to do...
On a side note, we probably all should've seen this kind of thing coming... unless it's shoujo, most manga (and probably manwha as well) tends to end or have something bad happen when couples finally do form

I'm just going to say it's heavily implied... I'll re-read those chapters, since though there's nothing outright stating the act was done, Felicia and Felix do seem to react the way a couple in that kind of situation would, especially given what Lyna says. That, and I don't actually recall any sort of denial
Damn, that sucks... getting laid only to have your woman die. C'mon Dal Young, felix has to have more than just one night of that kind of fun...

It was heavily hinted to the point that I don't even think it needed to be stated as Felicia did end up regaining her powers after that night and there was no other implied reason for this
Oh yeah that's a point. I wonder if their going to go the whole Berserk route with this since maybe she was with child before she died. If that turns out to be the case then if the guy wasn't already pissed he'd be more so.

I can read, write, speak korean without an accent. Came to North America when I was in first grade so cut me some slack.
The only problem when reading is that I can't understand difficult words.
I gave a noobish translation in another forum. Don't have the raw file anymore. I tried to ask my brother to translate but he doesn't have the time nor the interest. Also note that this was not put into google translate. I read and summarized what I got out of the last few paragraphs of the LN raw.
This is what I wrote last time.
The person who is talking is in the dark.. Someone...(assuming it's her mother) names her Ruby... and says it's a pretty name. There's a baby crying in the background and Ruby is wondering why the baby keeps crying. She ponders if she's about to wake up from her dream.
She's surprised and wonders if all babies cry this much at birth. She remarks that she's scared and wants to see Felix-nim (sign of respect to older ppl)
She sees the faces of her friends, Felix and Felicia... father and mother...
Please note that this part indicates that the faces of her friends appeared.
There's also a ... buddist priest?....
There's a baby crying the background... it's a newborn.
My thoughts: She gets reborn as their child? I am confused. Maybe the darkness is to signify that she's in the womb and the faces of her friends appearing abruptly would be... err.... you know. Wait... they were watching the delivery process !??!?!
The guy who said all the main characters bite the dust... is the guy korean? I dunno how this rumor started floating about.

There's a summary up on JCafe24 about the light novel.
Basically it's split into 3 parts, the first part deals with the story of felicia and Maiain the brave, the second part deals with felix and felicia, the third part after felicia "dies" revolves around Felix going bat shit, destory the world insane. He goes back in time to try to save her but in the end everyone dies. Hopefully the manhwa doesn't follow this.
Oh yeah btw the novel is sci-fi. A cyborg was originally supposed to be introduced during the tournament arc, but the manhwa decided not to. Which is used to explain the time travelling, cyborg's, space age weaponary etc. That's why there's "nukes" and "oribitals strikes" in attack names for characters.

Hu ?
So the first part, we never saw it in the manwha ? Or just for the first pages ...
And the author of the LN is Im Dal Young too non ?
But the last part ...
They really die all of them ? Oo
One more time ?

I'm guessing the first part is pretty much pointless uneeded stuff that the mangaka decided to leave out. No idea if their the same author I asked this before but never got an answer. I have no idea if they actually survive or not the first time all I know is he goes back in time to save Felicia and then somehow or another they all end up dying.
I'm not sure if I'm getting all of this. Where does Adam Cruz's reading of Ruby and the fate of all the characters fit in with the summary of all three parts of the novels? They sound like two, totally different stories considering the third novel ends in a 'kill them all' tragic note.
I have to say though, the summary of the three parts sounds like pure torture. I have no idea why one would want to read a tragedy such as that. Some tragic and bittersweet endings are actually good, but I would feel as if I were being trolled if I stuck to something like that all the way to the end. I would probably just be pissed off.
IIRC, apparently, a translator from Scantily Clad who have read the LN said, that after this volume, the manhwa was now going exactly the way the LN was going.
That's why they had a hard time finishing up volume 10, because they already knew what direction it was going, because like I said, they read the LN that has already ended.
Everybody dies, The End.
So Yeah...
And IM Dal-Young is the author of both, the LN and Manhwa.

I'm still not sure how he plans to pull it off, since there's already the obvious lack of sci fi in the manhwa and it's far too late in the game to start introducing it. Perhaps magic used for the scifi plotlines but still seems kinda strange.
Anyway they'll probably be a few divergences since the manhwa is a lot lighter and PG-13, whereas the LN is more 18 plus with the sleeping together to unlock Felicia's powers rather than a kiss, and general darker mood. Overall the Mahwa is a lot more condensed refined/mainstream version of the LN.
It does make sense that it should diverge from the light novels. Why then would one want to wait for more manhwa chapters and volumes when there's already a finished version in another medium?
Still, I wouldn't be surprised if it'll end up the same way anyway, even with a few differences. In that case, it's really such a turn off that I can't find myself even bothering anymore. At the very least, sometimes my curiosity will still make me check up on a few updates and chapter summaries here and there.

Then there should already be some divergences. A few of the kisses near the beginning were accidental, so I don't see how you can accidentally sleep with someone in the middle of a battle.

You were on Mirc to know the whereabouts of the ending of the Light Novel ?
So, little questions if you can answer :
How they all die ?
Why ?
What the third part speak about ?
Because, it's really harsh to think our hero will die. o_o

Seriously, after volume 10 I was scratching my head but now I'm looking forward to this again. The only thing that can get in the way of this is the teen rating.
We finally get a look at a few new characters that we'll be seeing in volume 11. I assume the one in the far back is the new Felix...

2011-04-25, 22:42
The far back, or the guy in the front?
So, any speculation about who those characters are? Perhaps, a little bit more info from those familiar with the light novels? Or is this one of those changes from the novel version and those characters completely new?
Here's where the cover came from if anyone can translate the summary better...
http://blog.naver.com/comic_chance/150107056660
Well Google translate gives this:
Felicia from dihaui suicide with the help of Enchantment perikseuwa Ruby escaped. But Felicia Knight and rejeoseu disappears as they are swept away by the explosion. Over time, then turned up the power of five years, expand the powers senyideuga came to start a war against the world an era of chaos. Now save the world from a severe situation, a new hero is born!
A little bit confusing. Bascially, five years have passed since the events of volume 10. From the translated text, I can't make out with complete certainity whether the Regis Knights survived or not.
Bonta Kun
2011-04-26, 08:30
a new hero is born!
Oh god I have a bad feeling about this!
It better be Felix 2.0 and not some completely different chump I have to put up with.
It's bad enough if Felicia and Co. is gone and while Felix hasn't been great on the whole, I don't want to see a completely new cast.
Of course it's Felix 2.0! He didn't survive this time just to be chopped liver! According to the last page of Volume 10, Felix and Ruby will stay, but there's also the new cast: Jeda, Shami (newbs) Lin (mysterious fellow) and Meldra (some animal companion)

Seen a little preview of vol 11...
It's been 4 years since volume 10. Meningrad has been conquered by Diha. Felix returns and is supposedly in full GAR mode and starts kicking ass and chewing bubblegum. Which bubblegum never existed, so he's just kicking ass...
WTF??? Okay, there better be answers as to hell in Jesus effing Christ's name Diha survived Felicia's death (assuming she really is dead... I'm half tempted to go with the idea that Diha has her captive and brainwashed), even though it sort of makes sense that there's a way, since I'm pretty sure that he wasn't dumb enough to forget no Felicia= No Regis knights. Either way, that's currently the million dollar question (the thousand dollar question is how, if she's still alive like I'm sort of assuming she is, Felix will rescue Felicia :p )

Agree, nothing bad ass about being a raving lunatic. Also couldn't help to notice that Dall-young had to add his favorite male character trait to Felix of treating women like shit. Well I guess I'd be pissed if my woman got taking from me as well. Although he doesn't know that yet...
For the new character. Yeah pretty boring new characters and most of the volume for that matter was boring. With it being a recap of what happened in the early volumes. Also it's not too hard to guess who the baby's parents are...

Yeah. I feel bad for Ruby in those last 5 chapters with how Felix mistreat him.
Some real rage-worthy crap going on, NTR and the typical IDY hero abusing girls. If it weren't for IDY using talented artists to draw his stories, I probably wouldn't read any of them.

Oh boy, Felix - my have you changed. The old you would cry at how you turned out now.
I won't mention the obvious since it's also obvious that he'll change his ways.
I was hoping for a bad ass felix, and then new chapters came out and i was really excited.
And i got disappointed how it all turned out...
Felix is a crazy lunatic that hits ruby all the time,and all she does is trying to help him.
And somehow Felicia has a other skin colour and is making out with that guy that i cant even remember his name.
I pretty much Raged through the new chapters...
Im Dal Young manwha's pretty much starts as,
''Boy meets girl, boy falls in love.''
''Lovely Dovey/romantic moments/ comedy/some love rivals/Some bad ass moments''
''the usual ecchi where he goes into the room while the girl is changing and then the convient steam is covering her juicy parts ''
And then suddenly, Cheating / Rape / Ntr/Bullying.
Don't hate me for this, but this is how i see his manwha turns out.
I may be very wrong though, but i'm not really a big fan of those 3 genre's.

I actually liked this manga. However, this second part of the story even disappoints myself. The way Felix treated Ruby was pathetic, Felix being crazy for whatever reason with that devilshu. Then felicia kissing that scum.
On the bright side, I'm sure Felix will change and we'll get an explanation about Felicia(Obviously the skin color change definitely means something) but still its disappointing to see.
Well as someone already posted a scan from vol 12...
Which is much of the same with Felix being an asshole and of course he meets the new Felicia toward the end of the volume. Not sure, but I guess she has all or some of her memories, and knows that she's being brainwashed and manipulatived under Diha's magic or something screwed up along those lines...
Rumors for vol 13 which don't look any better...
The story is switched back to Lance searching for Felix. I hope those rumors are false, because an entire volume of that after the cliffhanger vol 12 leaves us would suck major ass...
I would be curious as to how the novels went to see if it's following the same path...

Well as someone already posted a scan from vol 12...
Which is much of the same with Felix being an asshole and of course he meets the new Felicia toward the end of the volume. Not sure, but I guess she has all or some of her memories, and knows that she's being brainwashed and manipulatived under Diha's magic or something screwed up along those lines...
That was actually evident in vol 11, she knew/aware she was Diha's bitch, whether or not she has got all her memories is another matter but I figure she has some.
Sad really cause I loved how she didn't take shit from no one and here we have her taking a 180 in character even if she's being controlled I'd expect her to put up a much better fight than this.
Well this series is now relugated to "might read when it's all done"
IDY really likes driving his series into the ground....
So Felicia is really aware that she was Diha bitch? Does Diha even aware of this and why would she do that? Err Ntr stuff :uhoh:

Yea I'd say so considering Felica actually says it to his face.
And I don't think he really cares that she knows tho, he's got her wrapped around his pinky, he's got his bitch.
I guess if he wanted her to dress up in school swimsuit and cat ears and sing the Nyan cat song while doing the shuffe all day long, she would -__-
See I don't think I would have minded the NTR or timeskip or whatever this crap is as much if it didn't involve this new cast.
I think it might have been better(even if ever so slightly) if it just focused of Felix.
Altho I find it abit funny when I see some say "badass" with him cause if he really was he'd go get his bitch back and spank Diha's ass but no we don't have that, instead we got him with his "wife beater" on and being total emo about god knows what and he isn't even really the focus now.
Oh lol. After what you said, I can't helped and think that they might had already crossed the line beside the kissing.
IDY sure knows how to make a shit to his readers. Then we might see Diha holding Felicia in front of Felix and then kissed her just to messed Felix and will just go berserk. :uhoh:
I don't know how long will I last in this. :eyespin:

Oh lol. After what you said, I can't helped and think that they might had already crossed the line beside the kissing.
Haha yea I'd honestly hope it's gone further than just kissing, not that I'm a fan of NTR but when you have the only woman you ever think you could love under your control, I'd expect he would be bumping uglies with her cause I mean she is a looker.
If theres some sorta weird reason like "I won't touch her in that way till she actually falls in love with me on her own" I'd really faceplam then and think "whats the point of all this..."
.....yea guess I got that wrong, I am already thinking whats the point of all this, is there really reason for me to continue reading cause I think it's only gonna get worse with the idiocy.
And to think I considered this IDY's best work....oh the despair!

Considering how sicked Diha is then I think they might already crossed the line but here still hoping that kissing was the only thing they were doing in the past 5 years.
Also, I'm wondering how the heck did the baby is already 5yrs old if he really was Felix and Felicia baby since it will take a year for the pregnant woman to bear. Shouldn't it be 4 years old only? or maybe since this is a manga then they used some sort of magic. :heh:
Also has anyone read Cavaliers of the Abyss? There's a lot of parallels to that manhwa.
It seems that a lot of manhwas have a prototypical 2 or 3-stage setup where the 1st part of a story is light-hearted and essentially a prelude, the 2nd involves a time-skip with rage-inducing events such as NTR, abrupt character changes, and female abuse.

NTR = ?

NTR = ?
Decent, self-respecting English speakers don't get it either.
Nor would a normal Japanese person, who'd understand the word (it comes from Japanese), but not the context being used.
Here is a tvtropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NetorareGenre) link for your clarification. Apparently it's one of those, rather literally, fucked up shit liked only by the bad people your mother told you to stay away from when you were a child.
Which seems to describe the current state of this manwha, if this thread is anything to go by. I'm quick with my drop trigger, so I was gone way earlier.

Like all thread with a manwha from Im Dal Young ... :D
Thanks for your answer. ^^
So we have the cover of volume 13... hopefully we can get somewhat back on track to pre-volume 12 and maybe get past IDY's love of things NTR-esque. Then again, he usually ends up putting in NTR before getting back on track from what I've seen in some other works, so hopefully he remains in that pattern. And with what that covers has (i.e., it definitely looks like our normal Felix and Felicia), I think we should be good. Then again, covers can be misleading, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
now to just wait a few more months and we might even have the chapters (I'm assuming we don't already)...
I started this manhwa not so long ago. It was really an entertaining piece of work. The last read was a bit on a downside though. Hope Felix get it under control soon as I'm REALLY not liking his new attitude. Poor Ruby... T_T
Hope all this talk about netorare is defiantly not the case here, even if the author has put it into his various work before.
Anyway, how were the endings in previous Im Dal Young's works?
^The only one I know he finish is UNBALANCE X UNBALANCE and is end ...some how in a good way(even if I admit the last 3 ch (more or less)>_>) any way.
The other work from him that I know are all ongoin so ...I really don't know what aspect from him with "The Legend of Maian " the only think I know I don't like the whole Ntr thing .
ShiroiRyu
2012-01-28, 04:00
When you know he had already finished Maian in Light Novel format ...

Not at all ... I don't know if the manwha is now like the Light Novel or not actually.

I'm just wondering if anyone think that Im Dal Yung is a good mangka. Most of his works consist of melodrama, betrayal, breasts, overactive expression, despair, nonsense and kind of unfinished.
I remember that there's not even a single manhwa from him that doesn't make me mad due to stupid protagonist like in Freezing, Koimoku as well as this one. And the female are just as pathetic, I really hate the heroine of Freezing.

Yeah, he's good at fooling us that the impact from psycho weapons or martial arts will only tear apart the cloths the girls wear especially the part that cover their boobs, note that in reality the boobs will be torn apart with blood sprutting and women screaming in agony from pain...
The thing about IDY is that he comes up with really good initial concepts- in Freezing, Kazuya is able to perform an insane Freezing ability without being contracted to anyone. UxU was admittedly just a twist on romcom, with it being a teacher and student. This manwha... okay, so it was mostly just the breasts that draw you in, since it's again just another twist on an old idea, namely that of a guy who should be powerless is able to unlock (and for quite a while, control the power of) an ancient but beautiful witch/sorceress/whatever you want to call Felicia. (and notice that pattern that he's a fan of onee-sans and younger guys? not that I can entirely complain, considering the art... :heh: )
The problem is, the story usually goes mediocre, and the art is the only thing that keeps the story alive. Not to mention IDY has a fetish for NTR-style stuff, though the only silver lining to that is that after he gets it in the story and done with, we usually go back on track.
I don't know what's with IDY but most of his or maybe all had this ntr thing. As if like, it is a must to his story which of course I find disturbing.

IDY was the author for the Novel version of Maian too? Lol thats f up if its true... no wonder the Novel is some suicidal shiet...
I hate all IDY male protagnist except in Onihime VS. The progatnist in Onihime VS is the only one he didnt screw up... yet... He may be weak physically but theres loads of actual redeeming qualities that make up for it and not just the "has latent imba powers" as the only plus point to his character. I really hope he focus more on Onihime VS and dont f it up...
deathcoy@ The problem is... if he really focus more on Onihime vs. I'm afraid that he will do something ugly there as well>_>

@for3ver nothing as of yet, just that he is special in that he can summon 2 princess while it is a known fact that only 1 can be summoned.

He's working on multiple series, but rarely finish ones. His stories kind of suck and confusing. The only good thing is his art...
I followed his works initially because I thought they were harem fighting manhwa, but then appear rape, NTR, crap etc. in all of tem with stupid ending we usually see in canceled series. I truly feel sorry for mangka whose works are good but not very popular especially those published in JUMP and have their series ranked last despite being good manga and have to stop the series after 20-30 chapters...
Someone was nice enough to scan vol 13. As predicted it was more about Felix's brother than Felix. One thing that's uncertain and don't get your hopes up that there might be two Felicia's. The light one so to speak who his brother ran into and saved. She can't speak and writes on something to communicate. The pic below is her so you can decided whether to believe the crackpot theory.
Lin plays a big part in the first half and the way he acts it's debatable that he might be a Regis Knight. Also he might have been a she in the past or she is actually a she now...:eyespin:

I assume she's going to travel with his brother, his wife and their son. Which they'll probably run into Felix and his gang sooner or later. It cuts off and goes to the mystery baby that Diha left under the blond's watch. However, holy shit the kids like 5 now and a sadist.:heh: Go figure it's not so normal growth spurt...:twitch:

I hope sooner than later , I swear I had enough with felix like this and the entire NTR scenario. But knowing the author we goin to undergo at least two other volumes like this:upset:
wait, but the clash felix vs dark felicia ? I remember it was still in progress or vol 13 don't show us anything about them.Or that end during vol 12?:uhoh:

Felix couldn't handle his powers and buckled under. Lin stepped in, but it seemed the other side retreated soon after. Yin Felicia:D was coughing up blood, so I assume that had something to do with it. Other then in the beginning we don't see them again except for the wet nurse and the kid later on in the volume...
Felix definitely needs to get his act together because he was downright pathetic again in this volume. At least he didn't beat on Ruby again. That's the only bright spot for him...
Johnny@So he couldn't handle his power and yet still defeating/owning some how dark felicia:heh:(good one Felix)Now I wonder what he would capable to do if he was himslef. I really hope that Ligh Felicia meet Felix really soon. At least that way he will revert to himself (or at least I hope)
Felix definitely needs to get his act together because he was downright pathetic again in this volume. At least he didn't beat on Ruby again. That's the only bright spot for him...
Yeah he need to do this. The problem (like I said) I don't think this will happen if he not meet light felicia.
So who is this Lin? The new guy with a pet beside him?
So he was actually a she? If he was then no wonder I see him more of a woman than a man when I first saw the spoiler. I was in disbelief when they said he was a man or maybe it wasn't really mentioned. I hope someone can clarify this. :D
@Soji,
No, Felix didn't do anything:(. He collapsed by page 3 of the volume. Yin Felicia started yelling and crap then started to cough up blood. Lin stepped in and drew his huge ass sword. The wet nurse then signaled the retreat yell and they skedaddled...

Yeah, the one with little pet thingy that they met in volume 11. As for the gender bit. He or she had a flashback and oddly enough it was with the Maian that defeated Felicia. That's why I said Lin might have become a Regis Knight as that's the only thing I can think of to explain the lack of aging. Maybe someone with more understanding of Korean can answer that.
Lin is the one in the far left in the flashback. Them be boobs I tell ya! Unless this present Lin is keeping them, er under wraps...:heh:

Let's hope she/he can help felix until they meet Light felicia.
And,of course Maina was only with girls:heh:

I see. I hope he really is a she. I don't want any more guy in the team :heh: Is that Felix? Oh yeah. You did mentioned that that this was a flashback so it shouldn't be Felix but if Lin is the woman in the left side then shouldn't she be able to recognize Felix because he looks the same with the guy in the picture OR maybe she just want to keep her mouth shut and don't want to reveal anything?
So who is the guy in the pic? Felix brother?

Seems like Felcia is spit in two light side and dark side, with a large flashback focusing some random dude.

That was actually a pretty good volume, just hope to see Felix not hold back in dealing a semi-lethal blow to Felicia, altho when given this type of situation thats tends to be the case......but then again this is IDY so who knows, could very go the way I hope.
About time we got to see Felix being boss, let's just hope it sticks.
Any clues on what happened to the Regis Knights? The only hint so far is that they may be alive if "evil" Felicia didn't kill them....and she doesn't appear to indicate that she had according to the translated chapter. I can only assume they are:
1. Dead from the explosion, which only Felicia could take a direct hit from and live (as evidenced in the recent chapters for her toughness), and Felix and Ruby only survived because they were thrown away before it hit.
2. Alive, but captured and imprisoned. Diha is keeping them away from Felicia for unknown reasons.
3. Alive, but brainwashed in some manner, perhaps working for Diha elsewhere, away from Felicia. Perhaps given new identities and working as his generals?
4. Dead. Felicia killed them and either repressed the memory or Diha brainwashed it out of her.

6. Alive, but in hiding.
When I think about it, the speculation I read for volume 13 was wrong after all. Good thing it was wrong.

So guessing something happened to Felicia like she split into 2 people.
Guessing day and night, good and evil sides type of thing.
Kinda reminds me of Kurohime, it's just like the reverse of that.
So think we'll see the other 2 female followers of Maian?
I know I want to, especially the glasses wearing one:D
And is it wrong that I think Felix's brother is much cooler than Felix?:heh:
I mean despite Felix having some cool badass moments his brother just shows up and shows who's boss.
He knows when he's got it good, totally lol when he can't deny being happy having 2 beauties in both hands:heh:
Would be nice to see if the blood fines runs through him as well.
Given this type of setting it tends to always just be just the one sibling with the special power instead of both/all siblings with it.
Well, it's always been that way no matter that Lance is the little brother. Felix just needs to lose the 'I'm trying to be a cool dark hero, but it makes me look like a big fat asshole instead' mode he seems stuck in and he would be leagues better...

Yeah it's probably that, I'd rather the author develop the whole crazy streak dark hero more. Which is really the only reason i prefer him to his brother.

Probably wouldn't work story wise, There's massive allusions to the similarities between Felix and Maian bordering on reincarnation and basically their struggle and Blood fines symbolises that. That wouldn't really work if blood fines was a farely common familal trait (I mean what are the chances of both brothers having it). I can see however his brother being a sorta mentor figure to him considering he hasn't quite mastered blood fines.

Unfortunately, I think you'd be on the less popular side of that poll lol.
Speaking for myself, "Dark Felix" is just too much of a change compared to what he was before. Sure, losing Felicia can change a person...but turning them into a douchebag is a lame choice IMO (and somewhat cliche). Where are the heroes who actually mature in their pursuit to become stronger after a timeskip?
That's why I love Luffy from One Piece so much. Especially now. Not really the best example of maturity, but after he incurred a huge loss he didn't come back after a time skip with some dark outlook on life and the attitude to match. The guy stayed true to himself, but exponentially stronger. If there was any new attitude at all it was his regained confidence in his strength. I never saw the need for a "dark hero" development.

I don't think Blood fines are like sharingans where most members in the clans have one.

Considering it's Im Dalyoung, I'd rather have Felix stay a nice guy than become a "dark" hero. When he tries to make his characters "dark", more often than not they come off as either assholes or crazy assholes.

Hey unbalance x unbalance main character was awesome and he was a bit of an asshole at least before the end where he almost ruined the character.
Really I think asshole main characters really work well or rather are vindicated in what I would call Luffy momements ironically the charactter whose already mentioned in this thread 9why their called Luffy moments because he's the character I remember having the most of these moments in the anime/manga etc I've read). Bascially their these certain moments where you really want someone to do something but because of the current plot situation logically noone would do it but there's this one character who does not give a fuck and the readers know this and are almsot expecting it and so it feels so, soo good when he does it.
Luffy hitting a tenryuubito would be a prime example noone in their logical right minds would hit one and as was proven later with good reason as the admirals would completely wreck their shit, but Luffy being the uncontrollable rage driven individual he is did not give a single fuck, he's the sorta person who would declare war on the world government on a whim. It was basically a fuck logic fuck alll consequences this guy had it coming sort of punch that felt soooo goood.
That's where assholes when done well tend to shine they have the audacity to do what others don't, not the typical I'm badass I can do whatever I want to this mooks type of mooks sorta audacity more of the completely illogical and seemingly unwinable come on world show me what you got sorta shit. the sort of stuff no other characters would ever do because of logic but reallly, really would want to do.
Probably wouldn't work story wise, There's massive allusions to the similarities between Felix and Maian bordering on reincarnation and basically their struggle and Blood fines symbolises that. That wouldn't really work if blood fines was a farely common familal trait (I mean what are the chances of both brothers having it). I can see however his brother being a sorta mentor figure to him considering he hasn't quite mastered blood fines.
It was also mentioned in story that Blood Fines is extremely rare within the family. Even if they inherit the ability, a even smaller portion are able to control it.
Considering how hard it's to inherit Blood Fines, I wouldn't be surprised if Felix is the only one. Remember, though the author didn't state or show it outright, it's somewhat indirectly implied that Felix's grandfather, father, and brother are all talented, maxed out swordsmen. If they had Blood Fines, it shouldn't be a secret. If someone really had Blood Fines, it would have been revealed back in volume 1 or 2 when Pennslyvania attacked their kingdom.
Finally, as you stated, the author is heavily alluding that Felix is the reincarnation of the original hero. It kind of defeats the purpose of that symbolization if more than one person has Blood Fines.
If anything, based on the events of volume 13, it would seem that Felix's brother might take the role of the legendary Mercenary King.

Just read 2 lasted tranlated volumes, I know Lin is a girl due no normal guy should wear a female shorts and the cloak hide her big breast :D.
Wonder why he beats up on Ruby now. She's hot!
And yes I think Lin's a girl too.
Yeah she is a girl since it was clearly implied in the last chapter that she's in love with the Maian Hero but he was in love with someone else.

So guessing something happened to Felicia like she split into 2 people.
Guessing day and night, good and evil sides type of thing.
Kinda reminds me of Kurohime, it's just like the reverse of that.
So think we'll see the other 2 female followers of Maian?
I know I want to, especially the glasses wearing one:D
And is it wrong that I think Felix's brother is much cooler than Felix?:heh:
I mean despite Felix having some cool badass moments his brother just shows up and shows who's boss.
He knows when he's got it good, totally lol when he can't deny being happy having 2 beauties in both hands:heh:
Would be nice to see if the blood fines runs through him as well.
Given this type of setting it tends to always just be just the one sibling with the special power instead of both/all siblings with it.
Now that you just mentioned it, the "splitting" of Felicia kind of reminds me of Kurohime.
So Noona (looking for her son and husband) is the good side of Felicia and the current Felicia is just the evil side?
I'll say it's at least 4 or 5 volumes before it gets close to putting Felicia back together again. One more emo volume. Another for his brother and them finally meeting again. Then Felix finding out that he needs those three star artifacts in order to restore Felicia. Finally at least one volume a piece for each trail in order to get an artifact. Could be wrong and he compacts them all in one volume, but I doubt it...
That baby sure aged fast.
Baby now a fully functioning 5 year old and treats his adopted mom like a servant.

Oh !
Some words for you : In the sixth volume of the manwha, we have some words from Lim Dal Young.
In France, that said : "Maian was a work from so many years.
Now it's a manwha, i will correct so many things like incoherence and others."
So, we can hope for a good end ? :D

i was hoping when the next chapter comes:upset:
Just read the full 70 chapters over teh last few days. First, I havent minded Felix much, basicly because his character is whiny and hes a coward via the story. But he dam annoys me now that he acts like a know all a$$hole and beats on Ruby. Dishavlu or not, thats no excuse!. Cracked my heart a little with Felicias now serving Diha, but I noticed something was wrong, her being dark skin and all. Like shes turned Dark elf. And I've noticed these last few chapters, Lance is way awesome than Felix is. Sure he may not have the blood fines, but hes has soo much more natural tallent than Felix has. Not to mention it seems hes put effort into his swordsmanship, unlike that other usesless brother who now beats on women.
And it has me saddens that the Reigas Knights are dead, I liked the 4 of them, especially Lyna (my favourit character so far). But the author bringing them back to life, would just be throwing sugar and rainbows on the story. Whats done is done.
Ah and I actually gained alot more respect for Lyian (serisouly they keep changing his name I get confused) when it was revealed he died after the battle. Most likely from wounds ? Sorta a heroic death in my mindset. Then the stupid Shurians covered it up.
Well I didnt want to end up writing a novel, so iam keep it at this for now. Like to see what happens now with Lance coming into the story, oh and Lin seems interesting, I dont really have enough solid evidence to say what I am thinking about er... him.. yeah O_o, Still some doubt so I will leave it at that.

Ch 71:
I'm surprised Felix didn't confront Lin about what he overheard the other night, especially given how it involves him.
Also does anyone think that Madrinne might have been one of "Maian the Brave" comrades from the past? Or, perhaps the a possible descendent since Lin seems to know her from hostile glances she's getting.
Oh, it seems Sakicow released the whole vol now.

It was pretty obvious by now but it seems the original Maian was also in love with Felicia, I'm guessing she either had the memory wiped of the whole affair or theres more to it.

Weren't you paying attention, it's been pretty obvious since near the begining of most of this having a basis around a technologically advanced race. Why do you think Felix has moves named orbital etc.
True, but it doesn't matter since we know:
The whole thing disappears at the end by a nuclear reaction
Hope this ^ ending won't happen here since manhwa version is different from the novel since some volumes ago.

So, we got three holy artifacts, a long dead highly advanced society, and a vehicle whose tech far beyond the it's current era. Now we going through a "fire dungeon" where our protagonists will have to fight an elemental theme boss to get one of "infinity plus one" equipment. If I didn't know any better I would think I'm reading an RPG in manga form. :p
Anyway, one of the most surprising thing out of all reveals for me was that Felix, Faiyz and Lyna were related. :twitch: I wonder if Lyna knew?
Also nice to see that Felix can use Blood Fines at will now rather needing some emotional trigger or, be beaten half to death.

Actually he probably always could, he just didn't for obvious reasons (back then he couldn't properly control it and probably still can't completely due to being incomplete).

Eh, but pre-timeskip didn't Felix only ever trigger it when he was emotionally stressed? He didn't seem to start getting a bit of control over Blood Fines till the fight with Dia.

I still get the everyones going to die feeling (or at least the main protagonists with a long past), the author for some reason or another decided them all dying was the best ending for his story and I don't really see how turning the manga more shounen and making it a manhwa would change that. Ultimately these characters don't have to survive whether everyone else survives is the question. Felix is the reincarnation of warrior god, so unless that god being itself dies somehow he should survive, he should probably find a way to ultimately be with Felicia too, the rest of the powerful characters are pretty much immortal and been alive for god knows how long. I mean heck Felix has already had a son so his bloodline will probably continue and if you look at it from the fact this is most probably a history repeating itself type od scenario Felix is most probably not going to survive this regardless, hell I even see a King Arthur type deal where his son leads to his death.
I don't quite see an everyone everyones going to die but i don't see Felix surviving this and by extension Felicia.

Yeah, I mentioned pre-timeskip since his control didn't seem to have gotten much better during those years. I remember him using it for first time "post-timeskip" blasting beams all over the place while enraged.
