I recently binged mtl and caught up with The Legendary Mechanic RAW, so I made this thread before I forget too many details, if you have any question feel free to ask them :)
The Legendary Mechanic
Yes. Is it worth it to mtl?
and ...
does the writing style of the raws mtl well?
How much BS is involved in the later chapters? I've noticed that the author started writing filler chapters HEAVILY with the players tournament. How much of that kind of bull-sh'it am I to expect? What's the percentage of the LN being on the MC, and the other just filler?
- How strong is MC at the latest chap?
- Who are his followers? Npc's, Players
- Did the system or the admins notice him?
- Did he get his own ship? Planet? Space-base?
- Did his race change again?
- How does it affect the game that he bought the players in space before the time?
- Does he learn magic? (Because that one race combines magic with machines)
- Does he visit the other start planets?

Kadish Easy MTL to be honest, sci-fi CN novels turn out quite well in MTL because google translation and other translators are used to modern terms unlike Xianxia etc... add to that glossary terms made by people on LNMTL or Comrademao and my time reading was one of the easiest MTL I had but its still MTL and if you are not used to it your brain will fry a bit at the start
DarkImmortal_Intel Yes the author still uses his Bullshit chapters of tournaments after every new update in the game on players we rarely see, it get old and boring I usually skip through the qualifiers and just see who won the finals, usually he make around 4 to 5 chapters about the tournament with main plot of MC mixed in those chapters so its not that long considering every game update happen after hundreds of chapters, expect 5 chapters of tourney filler every 200 chapters maybe, like I said so its not that bad but I would've preferred those chapters to be character development on the main and side characters that we enjoy and love

- The mc is between Medium to High Super A (S) power right now
- He has a lot of followers now that the Legion had become a colossus in their super clusterstar, the players are mostly all B power level right now but after this last game update they will be able to level up more and might all reach A power level which mean million of A power level mofos, there are a lot of NPCs following MC, most of the A power level ones have an interesting personality like Lackey, Melios , Silvia, Hila, Leonard, etc there are many.
- No talk about any system or admin so far, they might think MC is just the main character made by the AI of the game or some bullshit, I don't know how the author will address it at all, he did write something about dimensions theories when MC just left the noob planet but didn't talk about it again, I think that will be hard to explain.
- Yes he had a very unlucky encounter than turned out way better than expected in the long run that made him some very rapid growth but even then it took years to grow into some noticeable mercenary group size which of course includes ships, planet right for mining, Space-bases, network and connections...
- Yes he got a few more race changes, if you want more details you can still ask.
- Didn't affect it much, 50 players are nothing even compared to the lowest grade civilization that can go to space.
- Nope no magic, once you get on a path whatever its mechanic, abilities , magic , psychic etc you can't go back or learn another, but he can ask his mage subordinate to enhance his mechanic creations a bit, and that race that combine magic with mechanic isn't just doing it on the spot, they are a galactic grade civilization that studied and made their own technology after a long ass time, but their weapons are not stronger than another galactic grade civilization that doesn't use magic for example, pretty much the concept of all roads lead to Rome and reach same results.
- They made a second starter planet on the same Super Clusterstar that MC is currently in so he visited there, but the other starter planets from other super clusterstars are too far and mc doesn't want to spend years going there yet, anyway there will be a game version called Glittering World where pretty much all players recruited by different organization in the cosmos will converge to explore a new discovered super clusterstar.

- He get the chance of consuming some void dragon liquid that open up the Void race pathway in his race change options, he still prefer to always choose a race that has a humanoid form so physically there isn't much changes apart from growing taller and getting more handsome and some marks on his forehead.
- The Blackstar Legion is indeed his group which he renamed after his mercenary group grew considerably
- Yes Artificial Intelligence is easily made by high level mechanics for their androids, also even more advanced artificial intelligence can also miraculously appear somehow if the conditions are met in the cosmos, the cosmos is massive in this story and pretty much anything can start living and create a civilization somehow if they are lucky.
- If you're asking for what each job is called well tbh I didn't keep track of them since they aren't important after all he upgrade it after every 30 lvl in general, but if you mean his mechanic specialization, he specialized into Quantum network, aka master of hacking your troops if you're not as good as him and give him time, unfortunately he cant make gigantic weapon infrastructures or ships because he went the hacker way but given time and money he will still make it happen
- He got quite a few abilities from the Void race (precision its not the void dragon race as the MC chose the humanoid forms) Void race is the bigger family that include the void dragon and a lot more weird creatures, depending on his race changes he got void teleportation, special physic that absorbs cosmic waves, a weird ability that allow him to stick people with a void mark and spy on them afterward, and a few more cool abilities but thats way later in the race changes
- He's still alive, didn't go for revenge like he said to MC, he was an ally I guess.
- The investigator is a pure blooded Gedoran, it was written when he was first presented in the novel and HTL already covered it
Well he start as a spy type void creature which is at the bottom of the hierarchy in the void family and get more powerful positions with every race change afterward, gets to a pretty powerful race like Void Starchaser, Void Warper until he create his own template for his own race, the void family is pretty rare so we don't see any other so far in the novel communicate with MC, and his race doesn't impact his connection with other races, in the cosmos people care about power and money
Its on lnmtl under the name Transcending Mechanic or on Comrademao under the name The legendary Mechanic, but its all machine translation, imagine google translate but a bit more comprehensible because they use glossaries which include terms made by volunteers, still very clunky and sometimes hard to understand if you're not used to it.

AresRa Recent chapters in Webnovel isn't too different from mtl anyways. I think Atlas Studios have someone who is just using mtl and then trying to edit with broken textbook english. Just as an example, mc obviously talks about bringing players to space with him to be used as 'cannon fodder', but translator translates this as 'gunpowder' hahaha! Recent chapters are full of mistakes like these. If this isn't mtl, what is right?
