|    Any tips to research manga and/or novels    |

      From: noone@invalid.invalid.com              Does anyone have any tips or tricks for an English-only person to find       manga and novels that have been translated into English? I've       bookmarked a number of manga and novel (web, lignt, etc.) sites that       provide translated content but notice that the content on some sites       will stop at one point in the story only to discover that another site       picks up the story. Right now I'm using Google to search for a chapter       number greater than the one available where I'm reading, but it tends       to be hit or miss.              What brought this up for me was that I originally watched the anime       titled something like "I don't like pain so I leveled up my defense"       with the main character being named Kaeda a.k.a. Maple. So I wanted to       read the novel version of the story. I found it on one site, but that       one ended around chapter 53. So then I looked for chapter 54 and found       another site picking up with chapter 65 or so. So went back to Google       and found yet another site with the 'missing' chapters except that the       chapters were 'dropped' being translated, so had to do another search.              At present some of the sites I've bookmarked include mangafarm,       wuxiaworld, isekaiscan, readnovels (??), scribble (??) manganelo (??).       I don't know what the reputation of those sites among the manga and lit       community is, but they seem to be the most consistent with respect to       completeness and continuity of a series.              Thanks,       John              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
