   Yes to All   
   Any tips to research manga and/or novels

   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
