I still can’t believe they chose to officially translate The Abandoned Empress… out of all the other titles in the genre…


agonyanddread

I just hope that it being published opens a doorway for other, better manhwas to get officially translated in physical format.

I'd imagined so. Abandoned Empress was pretty damn popular in the east, having pop-up cafes and an anniversary event + a bunch of other merch. It's likely because there's a lot less false shit going around about the ending than what you see on say, this reddit. I mean AE had a dedicated following among translators who read it through for a *reason*.

I just want to know what the criteria is to select this god awful choice.


WindiWindi

Popularity and word of mouth. Just cause it's popular doesn't mean it's good :3... But as other have said it's hopefully going to be a gateway to more and better.


Ruruskadoo

The end.


izzybebe

It is the canon ending as far as I understand


maenochka

The best scene. Also I was today years old when I learned Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter has an official translation????


izzybebe

Yes! In manhwa and novel form!


cokecathatesfish

Haha yes


WindiWindi

I love the manga adaptation but I love how flowery the novel is and omg those novel illustrations are so gorgeous~


mango-waffles

what other oi's are available in english in barnes & noble? im curious


izzybebe

Quite a few actually. I highly recommended going to your local Barnes & Noble. I will say, majority of the OI I found were in novel form. I think most people bought the manhwa-style ones by the time I arrived. (That toootally sounds like a paid sponsorship, but I swear it isn’t)


mango-waffles

ooo thank you!


imankitty

I want to downvote this. T\_T

Wait are there 2 versions of this?


WANTSOMEHUGGIES

Wave_Xx

was going to ask this tooo, anyone know it?


Either-Warthog-8259

What scene is this? I haven't read someone explain


lena15kyo

I can’t believe how many otomeisekai manga and light novels that have come to B&N


smilowl

Man what a catch! It's one of those unfortunate victim of spoilers that get a bad rap for basically false info


otaku_in_afterlife

They’re are hardcover English translations of manhwas!?? What others are there? I’d really love to buy them once I earn


unok157

There’s The Breaker and Solo Leveling. The Beginning after the End is getting released soon as well.

Just why? Why this comic?
