Dark Mage (Novel)

Description

Once... Humans and Orcs peacefully co-existed, but at some point humans got greedy and started a war claiming the Orcs' territory. The diety-Lord who created all, got angry with the humans' greed and decided to punish them with 3 catastrophes. One of them was the "Dragons", divine creatures blessed with magic capable of doing almost anything. Now the Orcs, with a "Dragon" by their side, seem to have the upper hand. Will humans just sit back and see their land get destroyed? They are too devious for that... Their only good plan at that point is to abduct a "Dragon" to even things up. But how are they going to manage the capture of a being with so much power?

Unreadable

To start, let me say that I don't blame the translator for the quality of the story. Without nigh-rewriting the entire story, there is little the translator could have done to make the story better.

That said, the story is unreadable. Character names, creatures, terms and factions are all in Romanized Korean. Now before, you say "well thats just the translator's fault!", the story actually uses these terms for a reason. Different school uniforms are -specifically- identified and even the NAMES of the sects are specifically named to differentiate AND classify them.

As a result, you need a reference sheet for everything, a deep level of knowledge for Korean mythology and/or a high level of proficiency in the Korean language. If you can past this barrier, you're probably already fluent in Korean or such a hardcore fan of the story that theres no reason for you to read this comment in the first place.

Very hard to read. Filled with words that are extremely hard to remember.

You'll probably need to write down your own glossary of information and definitions as you read or you will absolutely get lost, so don't expect to just open it up and read it. It's quite uncomfortable to read until you get a grasp on what is going on and are familiar with the plethora of superfluous Korean martial arts jargon and in-universe terminology.

After that it gets good, but still worse than the likes of Xian Ni and Douluo Dalu for word-crimes against humanity.
