Dang, never thought that it was a novel. This feels quite NTR in the latter part of the manga. :lol:

I searched for it, but WTF is the text in Japanese?

EDIT: OK, I got it. Works fine. I should read it once I've learnt Korean.

Sorry it took so long to reply but the legend of main is not a light novel but a true novel and it was released in bulk, from beginning to end all at once. And the plain txt file can be viewed when opened in Microsoft word and the code is changed to Korean, and then the authors original format is seen also. I really want to see this translated because I believe the story is actually the best he has ever written.

So I am following the forum rules to try nd get this novel by Im dal young translated. Right now the manga is on stand by but the novel was completed upon release from beginning to end and can be downloaded as a txt file and opened with word to be seen in the original format in Korean.

The plot is about the story of Felix Maian, a weak and naive young man who unknowingly releases the powerful sorceress Felicia Rand Philistine. A thousand years ago Felicia Rand Philistine and her subordinates tried to take over the country of shurian but is stopped and sealed by Maian the brave, Felix's ancestor. Now awoken from her seal Felix must help avoid a world war on top of controlling the power hungry Felicia.

I personally believe that this is the best manga by I'm Dal-Young but its slow going. But the novel is already done. The story is superb, and it has the right mix of romance, comedy, action, and some ecchiness. I recommend anyone to read the manga and support the poll thread.

I agree. The manga moves too slow for my tastes. Lol. I read all the chapters in a day. When I found out there was a novel I have never wished so bad that I could read Korean. :D

So it's a genuine novel with manga adaptation? Hell, I'll try to see if there are translations.

the novel i believe was done even before Im-Dal-Young even thought of making it a manga. It was done before 2003. So the novel is old and around 4 or 5 years later the manga began.

Yeah, that is it :D

But seriously, the story in manhwa had changed since vol 5 or 6, so don't expect to see the same thing that are in the light novel (just 1 volume).

I'm not a big fan of this series. Sure, manhwa is great, but the novel no. The big troll-ending is meh. Like a friend of mine said, its endings it the kind only Dark Vader could even imagine :p

Btw, I don't think there are much people here that can actually translate from Korean to English (maybe from Chinese or Japanese).
