D*mn brother thank you for giving me such an indepth and thorough read with your updates, I can understand chinese novels are grueling to read and has a lot of info dumps but waiting for you to finish this journey so I could dip myself into this, as of now I am reading the History's Number 1 Founder which I heard is the predecessor to this and for me its not looking up already.
The reincarnation-themed harem story with a cute twist was executed well. I had to slightly alter some repetitive phrases like 'Hella' and 'God damn,' but otherwise, it's a decent read. If you're intrigued, it's definitely worth your time investment.
Dear Translators,
I hope this message finds you well. I recently came across your translation of the novella "Turning," and I must say, it's truly exceptional! Your work has done justice to the original text, and I am thoroughly impressed. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us.
I was wondering if it would be alright if I translated your translation into Russian. I assure you that I will give both of you proper credit as the translators. If you'd like, I can also include any additional contact information such as your email address or website in the credits.
Once again, your outstanding work is greatly appreciated. Please let me know your thoughts on this proposal.
Warm regards,
This novel certainly isn't for everyone, as it delves into themes of Stockholm syndrome, making it challenging to empathize with the protagonist at times due to his self-inflicted struggles and occasional repetitive plotlines. However, overall, it's not a bad read. My primary concern lies in the translation quality. With numerous translators taking on the project, it often leads to inconsistent progress, with one person stopping after a while, only to be picked up by another. I genuinely hope that one day, the novel will receive a complete and culturally respectful translation, avoiding the Westernized interpretations that have caused controversy within the Danmei community.
The initial chapters of this isekai novel captivate with an intriguing premise and skillfully crafted characters. However, as the narrative unfolds, it loses its clarity, resulting in a meandering plot. The action sequences lack excitement, and the protagonist's delusions only contribute to the disorientation. For readers seeking a well-structured story with profound character growth, this might fall short. On the other hand, those who appreciate narratives full of intrigue and unpredictability might still find some enjoyment in it.
The protagonist's power level seems appropriate for his current stage in the story, considering his abilities. The plot is engaging, with the author intentionally weaving in world-building elements that will be useful later. For instance, the scene where the MC enters an elf's chamber and trains without waking the elf up is a well-executed detail.
Character interactions are well-rounded, with each character having depth, making them enjoyable to follow. My personal favorites, aside from the MC, are Eisel and Azel (I'm unsure which one based on the machine translation). Although I'm at chapter 63, it feels like this could be a long novel, around 800-1000 chapters, as the pace may seem slow with characters still in their early development.
As I continue reading, I'll update my rating and comments, but currently, it's a solid 10/10. Here's a spoiler-free section:
In Chapter 63 and earlier, I'd like to see a twist where everyone believes the MC is regressing, causing emotional turmoil, only for him to clarify he's not.
After 200 chapters, my interest remains strong. The main character's strategic intelligence is impressive, and I appreciate that the story doesn't solely rely on action scenes. In a particular chapter, when Eisel, Hong Biyeon, and others visit a celestial library, they discover surprising connections between the MC's past and the game world. The story keeps me hooked with its intricate arcs, like the 11th moon's prediction of events being predetermined. The time-travel arc involving Baek Yu Seoul's past is particularly captivating, showcasing the author's thoughtful planning.
Overall, the novel continues to impress, even as I progress further into it.
Having immersed myself in "The Guardians' Throne", I found it an enthralling blend of magic and adventure. The protagonist's transformation from an ordinary swordsman to a powerful guardian is a captivating journey, filled with unexpected twists and well-crafted world-building. The characters are compelling, each with their unique strengths, making the story come alive. The pacing keeps you hooked, balancing action sequences with moments of introspection. A must-read for fans of immersive fantasy, it left me eager for more.
This novel isn't being updated here because it has been published as a light novel.
Turns out, Chinese novels suck, Japanese have too many characters, and Korean novels are always about games but somehow always better than the others.
