[Light Novel] The Moonlight Sculptor
Stumbled onto this novel through pure happenstance and search for this turned up zero.
This is a great read if you've played MMORPGs before though some of it also applies to optimizing in table top pen and paper RPGs. Its pretty detailed including even stat blocks As far as i know this is unlicensed. So far i've read it up to chapter 15 over at http://novel.oddsquad.org/p/moonlight-sculptor.html . The originals are in korean (figures it was a korean writer for a MMORPG novel) and up to over chapter 30. |

For those interested, Oddsquad has translated chapter 16. And i was wrong. It actually 33 volumes, each having about 10(?) chapters, which would make it a total of 330 chapters.
As for this not being a light novel due to lack of illustrations, wiki seems to disagree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_novel |

For LN, we had this proposal to us at B-T, so you guys don't have to come over and ask us.
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/vie...hp?f=15&t=3586 And Light Novel is light mostly because of what the publisher designates it as. To quote Oddsquad's statement: Quote:

I didn't know this novel got a thread of its own. On Jcafe its got over 100 pages!
Oddsquad has finished translating the first two volumes recently. The rest you can find here. It's translating at a decent pace. The blog is updated at least three times a week. Now, this novel is Korean so the writing style may be a little difficult to swallow since its largely different from the Japanese style of writing what with the honorifics and all, but its AMAZING in its own way. Not to mention simply hilarious. As for copyright issues Teh_Ping is right. I managed to download the official English translation a while ago and I saw the illustrations. Forget, I even said that last sentence. You are better off not seeing them. If you do see them, you will understand why this novel was dropped in America. No Chancs. The title is misleading. There is no manga for this novel and the series you referred to is something else altogether. |

This LN it's soooo goooooood.Sculptor job for the MC , how greedy the MC is, how he treated his servant ( poor death knight,tori and the rest ). how he brainwashed people around him.This LN is the first time to make me want to be born as korean ( all this time i only wanted to be japanese ). i really liked the way weed hunt and see the companion want to die ( one of them glad when he's dying and finally set free until weed recover his health )
CNine :it's 200 won (around 2 cent ?) more expensive salt,after that he believe he got divine punishment for buying it Ejigawa : i really love those Geomchi.you think it's already funny ? ( indeed it's funny )wait for their adventure in vampire city and tower of heroes.the one who see them said "they are not human " and "i'm human ,i appreciate the fact that i'm just normal human " |

Did you go to odd squad or royalroadweed ? isn't there is summary of volume 5 ? well i'm satisfied if summary detailed enough. i just hope they put summaries on volume 17,18,19,21- 31 there is only question and answer . As for the large scale battle i like volume 16 !!!! weed set up the fight for 3 boss( all undefeatable monster ) + 1 church enemy faction (weed target) into four way battle royal !!!! even if only one of the boss appear it will bring chaos ,and weed brought three of them.people from the media called him insane for that.
@Ejigawa : it's true !!! they should make manhwa and anime for this epic adventures.maybe they still don't know the design of the character !!! coz in this novel there is no image beside cover.it's always happening in japan anime the character doesn't show up because they still can't decide the character design |

Hi, I'm a korean who saw the works on royalroad.com and saw that there are some details that are mistranslated and want to see if I can help as a proofreader. So I posted an application for recruitment and after I got the first reply I replied to him and didn't get the second one, so I was getting nervous and would like to ask if there is an age restriction in doing this kind of stuff
