  4. For those who haven’t figured out the release rate yet, it looks like it’s weekends only with approximately 2 releases per weekend. The translator also mentioned the releases are done in his free time and there is no schedule so don’t count on releases weekly.

    That said the 2 releases a week has been pretty reliable so far, although they may not always be TAG releases

  6. This is just my opinion, but isn’t the author forcing the situation upon his mc without logically thinking about the situation?

    like forcing the mc into going to that new world with only 3 skills and even more so giving him a ‘sealed’ body?

    Sure, things like that happen but its an important part of the story, why did he even delete all his skills if hes going to delete his character?

    thats my problem here, the author forcibly created the situation without any logical explanation so i cant help but always view this mc as fucking stupid everytime he gets bullied or someone he cares gets bullied.

    • It could be that he was burning his bridges like ed and Al in fma to show their resolve like he was quitting the game for real life so he made it so that he couldn’t go back

    • Done the same with my characters, my brother does it too. It just feels like a more complete goodbye when you say goodbye to every individual trait or item rather than just deleting the whole character in one go

  21. After reading the latest chapters, I think I’m starting to think that “Alchemist God” is a bit too limiting of a translation of this title. In full, the series is 煉神領域, which is more like “The Refining God’s Domain”.

    If we look at the author’s description of the series, it includes the following lines: “炼制极品灵药、炼化终极武魂、觉醒旷世绝学，天下震惊!” Notice the two distinct usages of 煉. Furthermore, while early on, the series focused on alchemy (煉藥), more recently, we find that he is mastering many more crafts than just alchemy, again implied by the intro (觉醒旷世绝学).

    If we factor in that refining (炼器术) is one of the three skills that he was unable to delete, then I think it’s meant to imply that our protagonist is a “god” of far more than just alchemy – he’s basically a god of crafting.

    • Yeah, the biggest problem with changing the title at this point is just the fact that it will confuse some people. Luckily it’s still early, so I’ll see what I can do about it.

      • Yeah, I definitely feel for you. With that said, people seem really receptive of the Chinese explanation posts on Wuxiaworld. I think readers would actually enjoy getting some insight into why translating this title is tricky. Plus, it’s hardly your fault the author decided to suddenly spring two new types of crafting on us in the last handful of chapters.

      The first box asks for your email address.
      The second your username.
      Then the third your password.

      The thing below that is just a anti-bot minigame of sorts.
