Hi everyone,

Here's our latest Korean novel: The Healing Solaris Cleric! 20 chapters are out now. 

The author of this is JerryM, who also wrote the highly popular (and already fully translated) Frozen Player Returns! You might already have heard of The Healing Solaris Cleric through its comic translation, published either under the same name or as The Healing Priest of the Sun.

And translating The Healing Solaris Cleric is greenfrog, who translated The Nebula's Civilization!

Dive into the world of Han Jung-Woo, or Kai as gamers know him, a genuinely nice guy who's always been easy prey for bullies. But one day, luck turns his way and he gets the chance to take on the job of a Solaris Cleric, a hidden and powerful character class that actually rewards him for his kindness. Now, in a game world where everyone is out for themselves, Kai faces his biggest challenge yet. Join Kai in The Healing Solaris Cleric and find out if a heart of gold can get him to the top and become the best.

Hi everyone,

Today's new novel is a Chinese one! A Pawn's Passage is available now, with 50 chapters already published. 

Here's an introduction from its translator:

Hello! I'm Clare, and I'm a new translator here. I am really looking forward to bringing you a thrilling new cultivation novel that focuses a lot on power struggle and self-liberation. I hope you will enjoy A Pawn’s Passage as much as I am enjoying translating it. Your support and feedback mean the world to me as I embark on this exciting journey in the wuxia world. Thank you for being gentle and welcoming! Happy reading! 🙂

This is a tale of self-realization and liberation as the main character completes missions and levels up in cultivation. Qi Xuansu, a seventh-rank Daoist priest, finds himself mixed up in the power struggle of the Daoist Order. His simple life was upended when his master was killed, leading to his initiation into a secret society.

With no chance to turn back, Qi Xuansu can only forge ahead, regardless of what life throws at him. Like a pawn on a chessboard, Qi Xuansu’s rank is low, but will he be able to turn the tables? Read on to find out!

Hi everyone,

We've got a much-requested Korean novel for you today: The Regressor of Mount Hua! Also known for its popular comic adaptation, with the title often translated as Volcanic Age.

As well as being a personal favourite of its translator, Cyncoco, in Korea this series was one of the first murim novels to ever reach Kakao’s Million View Ranking, and it's one of the most famous murim novels to date!

Here's an intro to it:

The Era of War and Chaos.

It was horrifying, as if an apocalypse had fallen upon the world.

The very heavens cried from the loss of life and talent as heroes from every generation disappeared like the dew that blanketed the battlefield.

Disheartened by his lack of power, lack of skill, Zhou Xuchuan was lucky, unlucky enough, to survive the war with his mediocre talents, only able to admire the fallen heroes as a bystander from afar.

But fate seemed to smile upon him, as this unremarkable figure found a second chance at life, this time, determined to become someone important.

Someone renowned.

This is the tale of an absolute master who will shine brightly in the future.

Welcome

To the Volcanic Age.

Hi everyone,

Following up on our launch of Books 1-9 a few months ago, we're pleased to announce that Books 10-16 of A Will Eternal have been released on Amazon! This completes our re-edited version of the series, also available through Kindle Unlimited.

Here's the link to the full series.

Take a look at all of that amazing cover art too! Which cover is your favourite? For me it's a tie between Book 10 and Book 14.

And of course we have another completion to celebrate today Overgeared! At 2059 chapters, this has been an almost seven year journey for RainbowTurtle and for Wuxiaworld. We hope you've enjoyed it!

RainbowTurtle's latest ongoing project is The Constellation Returned From Hell.

If any US-based Overgeared Champion subscribers (past or present) weren't already aware, we're currently running a giveaway of five Overgared mousepads, in cooperation with Overgeared's Korean publisher Mayamaru. Here's a link to the post containing the full details.

Hi everyone,

Today’s new Chinese novel is Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast! The first 50 chapters are out now. Here’s an intro from its two translators, Joash and Salps:

Transmigrating to a mythical world with various mutated beasts is not something that happens to everyone. Especially not when you also have a six-horned salamander that possesses the power of evolution. Being thrown into this situation, Chen Chu embarks on a journey of true martial arts to reach the pinnacle of strength.

Hi, I’m Salps! If you enjoy anime like Jujutsu Kaisen or sci-fi action films like Pacific Rim and Transformers, this is the novel for you. This modern-day novel will take you through a world of mythical creatures, epic battles, cultivation, martial arts, and superhumans.

Hello, Joash here! As someone who has translated a number of Chinese novels, I can confidently say that Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast is one of the most interesting and fun novels to translate AND read. It boasts phenomenal world-building and an engaging storyline that is different from others. While still encompassing basic wuxia concepts, it has a modern touch to it, making it a fantastic read.

------

As we continue to license and translate more novels, naturally we also need more editors to proofread them! So we’re looking for people with native level English who can work on long-term projects (these are often long novels!) If you’re interested, please fill out this form.

Hi everyone,

Staying with the alternating pattern we've had going on since April, today we're launching a new Korean novel! The first 20 chapters of The 9th Class Swordsmaster: Blade of Truth are out now.

The 9th Class Swordmaster: Blade of Truth is a gripping fantasy novel that takes you on a thrilling adventure with Karyl MacGovern, a badass swordsman and top-class sorcerer from an immigrating tribe who gets a second chance at life. Betrayed by his best friend, Emperor Olivurn, Karyl travels back in time with the help of a platinum dragon. This time, he's determined to master both magic and swordsmanship to overcome his past failures. As Karyl slays monsters from Pharel Tower to return to his past self, he uncovers jaw-dropping secrets in his quest for ultimate power and redemption.

While Karyl makes his way through this challenging world, he encounters a cast of characters whose lives were less fortunate in his previous timeline. These people become key to his journey, each with their own stories and struggles, which add depth and complexity to the story. The relationships Karyl builds and the alliances he forms as the story progresses are crucial in giving him the support and strength he needs to tackle the tough challenges ahead.

The world building in the novel is super immersive, pulling you into Karyl's universe where magic and swordsmanship can exist in harmony. Each battle pushes Karyl to his limits, showing off his sword skills and explosive magic abilities. 

Also, what’s really awesome about this novel is Karyl’s unwavering resolve and intelligence. No matter how many times he gets close to getting knocked down, he never gives up. Using the knowledge from his previous life, Karyl makes bold and audacious deals with important figures he meets to change the course of his destiny in this newly earned life. His journey is all about perseverance and the strength of the human spirit. You’ll find yourself rooting for Karyl, inspired by his tenacity and driven by his quest for redemption.

If you’re into fantasy with a protagonist who never gives up, The 9th Class Swordmaster: Blade of Truth is the novel for you. The characters are rich and well-developed, each with their own arcs that add depth to the story. The plot is packed with twists and betrayals, keeping you hooked and always eager for the next chapter.

You'll follow Karyl MacGovern on a jaw-dropping adventure filled with hard-won victories and moments that will leave you wanting more. So, let’s dive into Karyl’s world and get ready for an exciting journey!

Hi everyone,

Our newest Chinese novel is The Mirror Legacy, with 50 chapters out now! Here's an introduction to it from its translator:

Heya, it’s Crow, the translator for The Mirror Legacy. I’m glad to have the opportunity to translate one of the top ten books on Qidian.

This is perhaps a different type of xianxia novel that is quite unique in its own right. Instead of following a single main character through the story, there are no main characters in this novel, or maybe everyone is a main character. After all, the main focus of the novel is the characters rather than cultivation.

If I have to describe what this novel is like… then I’d say it’s a Sims 4 Legacy Challenge, but set in an eastern fantasy world. If you can find satisfaction in watching generations of a family building themselves up and you enjoy books with good characters, then this is the novel for you. The story progresses slowly in the beginning, making this a great read before your bedtime or on a lazy afternoon in the cafe with a cup of tea in your hand. (You may also need a tissue box for your tears, that’s all I’m going to say.)

The story starts with a guy named Lu Jiangxian who died after staying up late to work. He transmigrated, not as a human but a mirror (a broken one at that)! Upon discovering that he could absorb the essence from moonlight and gain power from it, he decided to find ways to restore his mirror body and uncover its origin. He was later picked up by Li Xiangping, a teenager from a humble farming family who soon discovered that the mysterious artifact they found could turn mortals into immortals. With such a powerful artifact in their house, they feared that tragedy could befall their family. There was only one thing for them to do—become powerful enough to protect their secret and family!

To celebrate 500 chapters of Debuff Master, its translator Tokki is hosting a fanart contest with Karma prizes! The full details are here. It's open until the 28th, so there's still some time left to enter!

Hi everyone,

Here's The Regressor Can Make Them All, a new Korean novel! 

In a realm teetering on the edge of annihilation, a lone blacksmith stood against a Harbinger of Destruction, only to find himself defeated and cast back in time. Resolved to alter what’s to come, he chooses an unexpected path: mastering the art of blacksmithing alongside his combat skills.

Returning to Babel Academy, his journey is not just about honing his own talents. He forges alliances with individuals each carrying their own unique tales and trials. Together, they weave a tapestry of resilience and hope. His foresight from the future blends with his newfound craft, setting him apart as he aims to forge a better tomorrow.

The Regressor Can Make Them All spins a narrative of courage, camaraderie, and the power of a second chance. It celebrates the strength found not only in battle but in creation and unity, painting a vivid picture of a quest to avert disaster and shield the world from darkness. As they navigate their destinies, the tale unfolds into a testament of human spirit and the transformative power of foresight and friendship.

From today until June 16th, we're going to trial a new event – rewarding you for writing reviews on new novels! 

When we ran a reader survey, some of you told us that you haven't read recently launched novels because you prefer to wait until more reviews have been written, enabling you to better judge whether they interest you. So, we want to incentivise and reward reviews by letting you claim 300 Karma for writing reviews on novels launched in April or May. That list of participating novels is:

The Undefeatable Swordsman
Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San
The Art of Chaotic Divinity
I Became a Ruined Character in a Dark Fantasy
Tome of Troubled Times
The Regressor Can Make Them All
The Mirror Legacy (currently sneak peek)


To claim the 300 Karma, put #ReviewRush at the end of your review, and/or post a comment on this forum thread with your Wuxiaworld username and the title of the novel you reviewed. We'll add the Karma to your account within a couple of business days.

Of course, reviews will qualify for the reward regardless of whether they're positive or negative. Be honest. However, reviews that are simply spam or attempts to circumvent the minimum word count requirement will be disqualified, and will be removed per our usual process. During the event, we're also planning to feature some of the reviews on our social media!

Hi everyone,

Here's a new Chinese novel for you: Tome of Troubled Times! The first 50 chapters are out now.

A young man plagued by recurring nightmares finds himself visiting a blind fortune teller, who sends him to a world of martial arts that looks a lot like the wuxia stories he used to read. 

In the sky of this world, a tome shines every now and then, revealing the hierarchy of mighty beings that seek power amid troubled times. Determined to unravel the mysteries of his involuntary journey and the secrets of the world he has ended up in, he endeavors to ascend the tome's rankings, all while looking for a path back home.

Here's an introduction from its translator:

Hello everyone, I’m TipToe, the translator for Tome of Troubled Times. I would say that I’m a fairly experienced translator, having been in this community for over five years now. I have been working on manhuas and novels during that time, with many titles and genres under my belt. The title I have worked the longest on is probably Cultivation Chat Group, having done roughly 2000 chapters of the novel before I moved over to TAPAS and Wuxiaworld. Translating these Chinese works has definitely been an enjoyable pastime whenever I have nothing else to do, and I cannot discredit the fulfillment from extending the reach of great works to a greater audience.

Even with the experience I have, I must admit that translating Tome of Troubled Times has proven to be quite a challenge. The author’s exceptional writing skills alone already make it difficult to convey the same essence to readers. Moreover, the author intricately weaves historic geographical references into the narrative, prompting me to even delve into ancient maps (please save me). Furthermore, this author frequently draws upon classical Chinese poetry and literature, which are nothing short of hell for translators. Nevertheless, despite the challenges, this journey has been immensely fulfilling. I’ve not only honed my translation skills but also gained a deeper understanding of Chinese history along the way, and as I progress with the translation, my affinity for the story only grows stronger.

Following on from our Amazon and Kindle Unlimited launch of Overgeared Book 1 a couple of months ago, we're happy to announce the release of Book 2: The Birth of Overgeared! This one covers Chapters 105-209, and like Book 1, it has been fully re-edited.

Hi everyone,

As our final launch for April, we've got a Korean series for you! I Became a Ruined Character in a Dark Fantasy is live now with 20 chapters.

A gamer makes a character named Ian Hope, a character in a game that turned out to be a big failure. When he tried to delete it, something weird happened. The game said, "Character deletion denied." Before he could figure out what was going on, he found himself in a strange, swampy place, living as the very character he wanted to get rid of. 

This story isn't just about Ian trying to get by in a dark and dangerous world. It's about him living as his failed character, trying to survive in a place where everything seems against him. Ian has to face lots of challenges and figure out how to make it through each day. It's a big adventure about fighting to keep going, even when things look really bad.

Get ready to follow Ian on an exciting journey. This novel is about messing up, facing tough times, and trying to fix things. Ian's adventure shows us how sometimes you have to deal with big problems, but there's always a way to make things better if you don't give up. Join him as he carves his own path and navigates through the dark ages.




I would also like to highlight a review written on the novel's table of contents by masterlonai, a Korean author who helps to assess the Korean novels we license. (He can often be found in our forum's Licensing Recommendations section!) Here is his review:

'I Became a Ruined Character in a Dark Fantasy' is one of the best KR fantasy titles I've ever read.

The story unfolds following a man who struggles to survive in this godforsaken, bloody fantasy world. The fight scenes are vividly described, each character has their own backstory, and various characters come together to form a bloody harmony. The MCs are powerful, each with their distinguishable abilities, but this never harms the tension in the story. Its tropes are somewhat like those of shonen manga, narrating realistic combat in a dark fantasy universe. This is really enjoyable.

I highly recommend this.
