Petition to bring back 60 trial chapters and 40 free to read chapters
AuHNG I started to read ranobe on baka-tsuki, later found the website with the translation of LMS (the one before royal road) and somehow transitioned to IET's and Er Gen's novels. Good old times when we had to wait for a weeks between the new chapters. You could read every single Korean and Chinese fantasy novels that was translated at that time
Tencent strikes again.
Dwarkin Are you talking about Japtem? I loved thier translation of LMS and was really sad when they stopped because of commenters sending readers to MTL.
There was another group before that one, but they only had a small handful of chapters (I think 15 or so with 12 being the free licensed translation).
Tardy_Cat some didn't even give 5 free chapters
Dwarkin Thanks for that emotional trip back in time
It's always nice to see people who where active during LMS and early WW times.

Dwarkin I remember them because I was so upset when they stopped their translation. I loved LMS, but I couldn't bear to touch the MTL, so I stopped reading it for 3 years afterwards.... I've only recently learned to suffer through MTL, and it depresses me how far my standards have fallen.
As for the other group before them, I had actually started LMS with them. Not sure how I found them, but I do know my first CN was Half Prince by Yu Wo. Hmmm... I should check if that translation team is still around...
Edit: Oh wow. Prince Revolution is still alive. And while I'm at it, so is Girafffe Corps! It's going to be decades before I ever see the end of those novels...
And after more effort to find than I thought it would take, the original group that translated LMS, Odd Squad, is defunct. In fact, they've probably been gone for several years at this point.
