Started reading this because of KuwaNeko's mentioning of it. I quite like it (maybe I'll nominate this for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide. Still deciding what to nominate!) Fantasy. Sheila, the Demon Lord, tags along with the Hero because she's intrigued by him and his principals (he doesn't want to kill anyone, and that includes monsters). His goal, however, is to kill the Demon Lord who he doesn't know is actually Sheila, though Sheila tells him his words are contradictory. The cast gradually expands, and we get introduced to royalty, humans who are half-monsters and face prejudice because of that, monsters who have their own agenda, monsters who are mellow, etc. The series packs in a lot of cliches and has numerous silly situations, which are sometimes distracting, but overall I enjoyed the series. The art is quite pretty too~.
(I fall very easily when a character has need to keep a large secret, hahaha...)
Moonlight Sculptor
This is a Korean light novel series. I started reading this since it was recommended to me (by null, who also reads 1/2 Prince and LSK). So far, only the first 13 chapters have been officially released in English, and Odd Squad Scanlations picked up from volume 2, chapter 14. There are...31 volumes of this series! Wow. Anyway, I read the 14 chapters that are out in English. Weed is quite a character. His family has always been poor, making it so that he has to work several part time jobs for the sake of his little sister and his grandma. He decides he'll no longer be able to play one of the old MMORPGs he was playing, so he decides to sell his avatar... and ends up selling it for a whole lot more money than he thought he'd get. (His avatar was the highest leveled one in the game, and he had a lot of rare equipment). He thought his life was taking a turn for the better, but then debt collectors come and he ends up having to hand over all the money he had just earned. After falling in despair, he remembers how much money he managed to make from selling his avatar. He decides to invest in a virtual reality game called Royal Road and to make history happen again. The rest of the novels seem to be dedicated to his adventures in the game and how he goes about making money and making a name for himself.
The style's very direct and goes into explanations a lot. All the quests are all written out very clearly. Haha, I like the language used for the quests. :3 The cast seems to be a large one, and NPCs are very smart, can grow in level, and seem to be actually living out their life. I wonder how much happens in the next...29 volumes. XD; Such a long series! People into the series seem to have tossed the novels into Google translate and such... I'll... wait. XD;
Am considering checking out another light novel series centered around a MMORPG. Series is called Sword Art Online, though I don't know much about it. This one is Japanese. :3 (1/2 Prince is Taiwanese, Moonlight Sculptor is Korean, Sword Art Online is Japanese).
(Eeee, Yu Wo posted another teaser from Legend of Sun Knight, volume 8! Can I have the actual novel already!!?? This teaser is from chapter 1... I actually liked the prologue more. XD; *wishes the prologue were longer*)
