    About the English version of a paper book
    Penguin Books plans to recruit cool artists and create book covers. I got a link to the artist's portfolio, and the painting was really art.
    Also, the side story will be released of the release of seasons 2 Volume 4 (Korean version).

    We got a sneek peek to Maxi's revealing, tight dress for the banquet scene in volume 2. Her boobs are HUGE in that dress!

    I'm very much looking forward to the manhwa adaptation of their snu snu after Riftan gets crazy jealous at the banquet. Oh, how will P keep that rated under 15? We suffered half a book to get there, so P can't leave out the details. THE MIRROR. :blobshh: Right girls?

    yes,my friend, I think that's roughly what her neckline will be like in the evening dress at the banquet (see the picture below!), especially it was written that it should be quite tight. And Riftan's blood boils when he sees her...:eek::mad::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    But I don't think P will portray the "bed scenes" and especially not the scene with the "mirror". As MARSEA and I already said, teenagers are definitely watching these manhwas too.
    And I think this picture is very beautiful, but also very daring for "children" on the public network. Maxi looks very sexy. :whistle::LOL:

    Are the translated versions on Kindle and Web Novel the same? Or how do they compare? I've been reading some on Web Novel, but wanted to hear thoughts on quality of translation, especially compared to Korean version. Seems like the novel was translated really well, but I wonder how does the writing compare in Korean?

    Good morning dear Angels,
    hope you're all fine, warmest regards from North Germany:love:

    Hello,
    I don't read from webnovel, only from kindle, but I think Ridi makes a lot of effort to translate from Korean into English.
    Feel free to ask MARSEA12, emdl07 and a few others who read directly from webnovel. (y)

    S2 book 3 has finally appeared on Amazon but it says it’s not currently available for purchase.
    These technical issues are annoying atp:blob_thor:
    Is it only me or does anyone else have this too?

    Like my urgency is more that I want to have it finally in my possession than it is to know what happens next(if that makes sense).I already know the whole story, I just want to have the official translated version::bloblove::. I get antsy the more time it takes for the rest of the parts to come out.

    Those who have read both the Kindle and Korean versions said that there is a limit to expressing them in English. I heard that Korean is better. but they said that English was translated well enough.

    I don't like that when it's true and some things are cut out and it's not correct either.
    But the most of us are not Koreans and have to make do with the translations that the publisher provides us. What else should we do?:rolleyes:

    Likewise, we have to wait for the parts to be released one by one. We can't change it.:unsure:

    Here in Germany on Amazon the third part is not yet listed for sale. But I also look into it every day.:LOL::LOL::ROFLMAO:

    Thanks so much!! I'm always kind of sad when translations aren't as good, but sounds like this is as good as we can get. I think since I am so impatient I will have to read both Korean and translated versions to get everything as much as possible. I waited until the author completed the story and now came back to read, but realized there are two places for translated version! However, seems like a bit of time until translated version to complete as well.

    Maxi sounds surprised that the monster spoke to Riftan. And what the monster said and If Maxi knew what the monster said. As the monster spoke in the Elvish language and Maxi translated and that he told Riftan would pay for his sins. Riftan has been threatened by a monster and Maxi saw that Riftan was amused and that Riftan should take it seriously as the monster knows you are the dragon slayer. It is surprising for Riftan as the whole continent of Roviden is aware he spilt Sektor skull and the monsters see him as a desecreator. Maxi knew these monsters would have a vendetta against Riftan as he slayed their idol and want to take vengeance on him. Maxi tells Riftan that these monsters manage to resurrect Sektor, the dragon will come first at Anatol. Riftan answers back that he won't let that happen as they will stop them. With Riftan words it gave her confidence as the coalition army has thwarting the monsters plan and victory is on their side and only Vesmore castle to reclaim in Dristan. Maxi tells Riftan he is right and they will stop them. As there were many shortage healers, despite her exhaustion from her earlier mission, she and Ruth went to help many of the wounded. After tending many wounded both collapsed onto cots in a corner of the infirmary. Maxi worked up, it was past noon, she saw the sky in an arched window and rubbed her throbbing temples and she heard a calm voice to go back to sleep. Turns around and see Riftan sitting in front of the brazier and realizes she is in an unfamiliar room. Riftan tells her she is in the residence of Midna administrator. Maxi was struggling to get up from bed and she clutched her head when a dizziness came into her and it seems careless exertions came to her. Riftan told Maxi to rest. She protested and wants to check on the wounded. Riftan instructed them to send for Maxi, if they need her, she should do what Riftan says. Maxi could sense anger in Riftan voice, and was trying to be honest to herself she really needed rest. she admits that she might have overdone it. She always does it and Riftan tucks a blanket around her. Maxi was watching a while her hubby and then her gaze wonder around her surroundings, the invasion of the undead was all over around once opulent room. Maxi could not remember the last time she had the luxury sleeping in a bed, she decided to make a best opportunity and close her eyes and goes to sleep. Riftan touches something to her lips and tells her to open her mouth, she obeyes and open her mouth and inside her mouth it was something sweet. If it was too hot for Maxi and she shook her head and still eats it. Riftan with a smile is feeding Maxi a hot chestnut. Riftan likes when Maxi is obedient and Maxi belies Riftan finds her insufferable when she isn't obedient. Riftan teasing her that she certainly is less lovely. Maxi stepped his shoulder and Riftan gave a heart laugh. Riftan still with his sense of humor in her least lovely state finds her beautiful and her beauty exceeds than any other woman in the world and she had nothing to worry about. The words that Riftan said it made her blush and tells him he is rake and Riftan answer back it is slander. Maxi tells him if he has been attentive of his past lovers and Riftan tells her, why does she assume that he had past lovers. Maxi tells because of his status and presence in court. Maxi needs to stop talking nonsense and should still eat. Maxi wants to know how many lovers he had in the past. Riftan ask her back the same question. She ever had another man in her heart? Does he mean before their marriage? He should be asking before or after. Maxi tells Riftan to not be absurd as she never engaged in chaste behavior before and after marriage. His question was about her heart, and among many men who visited Croyso castle there has had to be one or two who caught her eyes.

    The monster wants Riftan to pay back all his sins for killing their God. In the monster world they see him as a sinner but it isn't the same in the human world and Riftan you have to very careful these monsters want to hurt you but not only you but the people who are close to you. They want you feel the same way for killing the dragon. The dragon was their idol and now they don't have someone to come to and want to avenge him. Maxi worry what the monster said but with Riftan words now she is having confidence and Maxi if these monsters try to resurrect Sektor, it isn't the first he defeated him, Riftan has defeated the dragon in the past he can do it again. Riftan teasing Maxi and Maxi getting back him with her hand on his shoulders both are acting like real couple almost like teenagers who are in love. Maxi believes Riftan has past lovers as she has seen you are handsome, fine and she saw how many ladies have swayed over you. Maxi is a respectful noblewoman who only had used her chastity for her husband. Riftan could have had the change to tell Maxi she is the only girl who has been in his heart and maybe he would tell the connection he has with Maxi in the past but Riftan is the type he won't open up to himself. Riftan in the past Maxi couldn't talk to man because of her father and she was afraid of men and during Croyso she must have seen many handsome nobleman and knights but you must be the first one in her heart. The duke did a banquet, Maxi was behind a pillar staring at you and she must been curious about and she saw the ladies swoon over Riftan even the maids but you must felt you were unattainable for him.

    Focusing on Riftan for a moment here, while reading (in its entirety)about the war with the monsters at the PP following the battle with the undead & the dragon , the deep struggles & concerns Riftan has regarding maxi make me somewhat emotional hahah. I re read Riftan’s side story again & tbh I shed some tears at everything he went through to have gotten to where he is at now.

    Unbeknownst to him from the beginning- he did it all to be someone worthy of the red headed girl from his childhood who society deem way above his station.:love: He amassed fortune and a name for himself risking his life , all for Maximilian. He almost died , saved by Ruth. With that vigor at 16, Rif already had a reputation of being a madman & unhinged on missions. :oops:

    With all that being said ,I wish for someone to love me with the same fervor and intensity in which Riftan loves Maxi. I’m a bit sensitive atm so excuse the rant:blobsweat_2: . But Does anyone else get choked up a bit while reading Riftan’s side story? Bc apparently I do now…:blobimfine:

    At first his side story for me was just there for us to further understand his background as a character.
    But surprise-surprise! That ‘understanding’ finally caught up to me:ROFLMAO: Like really sank in as the plot progressed throughout the novel.

    I honestly can’t imagine all the sacrifices and hardships he went through FOR HIM TO NOT GIVE UP:oops:. Couldn’t be me.

    I guess this is just the many perks (&joys) of re-reading. Like it doesn’t matter how many times you read a book, the story will keep on surprising you. Opening your eyes to what was already there.

    Hello Angels:blobhighfive:,
    I would like to send you all warm greetings from Solcito, she is on vacation and visiting Japan.:blobsmilehappyeyes:


    @marsea, thank you very much for your spoiler from the last chapter, it's really heartwarming, I had a little tear in my eye.
    They are growing together more and more and it's nice to read about it. And even if Riftan would never tell her (which I don't necessarily believe) that Maxi was his love from the beginning, she feels loved by him from the bottom of her heart every day.

    @SinFunHun, I agree with you(y), Riftan gets this love back from Maxi any day now.
    She realized what she had in Riftan and how much he meant to her, she showed him that she wanted to stay with him. He has finally opened up and so their mutual love will heal everything that was wrong in the past. ::bloblove::

    Maxi was asking a moment ago about his love life, now she was under scrutiny. Maxi when she came in age she was mostly in the annex and didn't came out only few occasions and would leave quickly as possibly and how could she take a liking when there wasn't any any men of her age she could converse. A person can fall in love without someone having a conversation, looking at far distant can capture someone heat. Maxi asks, Riftan is he is saying it due to experience. Maxi notices he is blushing and she is with jealousy and she burst out and how could someone fall for a person without ever. She stops her middle of her outburst and Maxi came into the realization she was the women who captured his heart. Maxi is telling Riftan when he saw him in Croyso that he was dashing and undeniably handsome but it was his aloofness that found intimidated. Does she always run away from people she thinks is handsome, Well Maxi wanted to make an excuse with his question but she couldn't, she didn't found him appealing with her first encounter as his confidence had an arrogance in him and with her insecurities of his good looks, had her put off and it annoyed her that many women in the castle were infatuated with him. Despite having fears in the beginning she would steal glances at the dashing knight. She avoided Riftan as being near him made him insifigcant. Riftan finds it difficult to believe and he did many absurd things for her so she could pay attention to him. Maxi, how could she look at Riftan ad he was plotting to murder half of the time. Riftan was quiet and if he really desire that she paid attention to him. Maxi wants to since when he had in his heart. Riftan was blushing and he finally confesed since the moments he laid eyes on her. The first first time she met him, he was scowling. Riftan angrily when he but then tells her he had no defense of his accursed muscles on his face. What is it in her that had Riftan drawn, she believe she didn't have the beauty to capture a men's heart, Riftan regars her the epitome of beauty. If he is partial with redheads and if she was fair headed he wouldn't probably take a glances at her. Maybe in Riftan part and Maxi slaps his shoulder and if Maxi had white hair he would still find her captivating. Maxi having an image in her mind of the growing old and gray and still in love filled her with joy. Maxi tells Riftan that he really has a way with words. She was enjoying a few hours of respite, she changed into fresh clothes and went outside to check on the wounded. Riftan doesn't want Maxi to push herself and that Riftan doesn't need to worry. Riftan was going to respond something back but then Ursuline was calling for Riftan, she realized he was neglecting his duties to be with her, and tells him to go on and she would be fine. Riftan would see Maxi in the evening after she saw him leave, she went to the infirmary. She saw a hundred of soldiers and check if any of the soldiers conditions didn't deteriorated overnight. She went where Ruth was and apologizes to him for coming late and she would take over so he can have some rest. Maxi doesn't need to apologize, he had time to rest and there isn't much to do. Maxi could rest more as they won't get another chance once they leave Midna. Maxi tells him if they are leaving soon and Ruth answer her back once the supplies arrive and they can't waste time. What about the men's in the infirmary and that a portion of the duchy army agree to care of the men's. Does it mean the duchy won't join the coalition army but they can't leave Midna unprotected. If they have enough men to go to Dristan and reclaim Vesmore castle, princess Agnes will join the unit, their concerts aren't the numbers but the supplies are. They have food enough for the soldiers but not for the horses as the snow had made it hard to graze, so the supplies need to come in week. Maxi tells Ruth if he thinks there is a high chance that her will not send the supplies?

    For asking questions of his love life, Riftan did it back at her. Maxi never had the chance to socialize or have friends when she grew up in Croyso as her father only kept her secluded from the world. Maxi can't believe a person can love someone without talking to them first and she gets all jealous of Riftan having experience and when in fact he was talking about her. She realizes that she was the one who captivated her heart. She encounter Riftan at Croyso he saw her dashing and must been curious about him but was afraid of him due to his face expression he had. Even Hebaron told him with that look in his face how would he get a girl. Maxi and Riftan are alike both had insecurities and felt were unwanted for each other. Maxi wants to know when did she captivated her heart. Maxi if you knew since he was young and Maxi believes that was his first encounter in Croyso oh Maxi if you knew when it was the first time you met him. Riftan confessing a little is as he opening his heart by a little bit. He had the perfect opportunity to tell Maxi the past he shares with her but Riftan doesn't like to talk about or remember his past as too painful. I doubt Maxi will remember he4 childhood past and the connection he shares with Riftan as he likes to protect her mentally and if he would tell her something it might trigger her traumatic events and Riftan cares about her happiness. Riftan was spending a while with his wife as the war took him a toll but now he has to go back to his duties. Their work takes their time to be together but once the war is over both would have enough time to be together all the time. In the infirmary there were more men's of the duchy injured than of the coalition army, the duchy men are weak in the battlefield. Her father is a prideful man and he would do the inevitable with the supplies.

    This chapter was so lovely and tender and Maxi and Riftan are acting now like a real marriage couple. Maxi whatever color your hair is he would find you endearing, it was lovely she was imaging growing old and in love with each and having gray. Maxi just imagine being with old and with Riftan and looking after your grandchildren.

    Good morning Angels near and far :meowpuffymelt:

    Tony had now answered my query about missing post pages: "Hello, it looks like posts have been deleted because users have posted entire chapters that are not allowed in the spoiler forums."

    I think that they must have been older pages, as entire chapter posts were posted there from time to time (not you MARSEA, I think earlier posts).

    @marsea,
    Thank you for this spoiler:blobrose:, it was nice to read your summary again. As I wrote yesterday, there is always progress in relationship work and that's a good thing. She already understood that she was the one who had conquered his heart and not another woman. This makes her self-confident and she can deal with it and believe in it much better today because she saw/heard his intense love through what he explained to her about himself. :aww:::bloblove::::bloblove::

    .......AND I bought the third part of the book 2 from Amazon Kindle this morning:blob_pompom::blobparty::blob_grin:
