    Hello, I'm a huge fan of Korean novels after their bloom here on NU (Seoul stations necromancer | Dimensional Sovereign and the other popular Web novels being translated recently.

    So I'm going on a "hunt" for interesting Korean novels that possibly be awesome reads!
    I will post here when I find goodies.

    I hope translators will pick these up! :)
    PS: Everything I know about these novels are all from google MTL. So there may be things that are incorrect.

    1: SHIN/1v1 Deity
    RawLink: http://novel.munpia.com/75288
    Google translate summary:
    It is a fighting game of virtual reality that was born with the consideration of the martial arts.
    The more they win, the stronger they become in reality. It's endless!
    The Old chaesangho bulrideon gamers to 'The Lord of integrity "
    to restore the lost life and keen participation before class!

    My thoughts: As you can see, it sounds very interesting. A virtual reality fighting game where every win makes you stronger in the game and real life! The author of this novel is also releasing the chapters quickly, I checked the release dates and he usually posts a chapter a day. I think its featured because I saw it on the sliding thingy on the top left of munpias website.

    2: Emporer! Do you see the stats?
    Raw link: http://novel.munpia.com/74355
    Google translate summary:
    A dead man who has been suffering for ten years in the emperor's place!
    But now it is alive again !?
    [He acquired the rights of the player.]
    [You can view the status.]
    That stat!?

    My thoughts: This novel looks interesting, it's a fantasy fusion, so I'm assuming there will be martial arts and it looks to be non-modern era. Looking at the picture, I see a royal and stats are floating in his vision. So game elements are probably in here as well. Also, the summary says Rights to being a player. What does this mean? Is he an NPC or is there a greater force at work here. Like a death game or something. Anyways. It's very popular right now so it may be a good pickup. (rank 8 in monthly and 13 in weekly)

    3: Monster Level Up (Google translate may be wrong)
    Raw Link: http://novel.munpia.com/74895
    Google translate summary: A monster that can level up (Lol so short)

    My thoughts: Hm... I hope it is like re:monster. It seems so, I read the google translated chapter names and it seems our mc is not human but a monster. Looking at the picture there is a sword. I'm going to guess there are hunters that hunt monsters, and the mc must grow strong enough to fend them off as a short term goal? Anyways after reading comments, I get an evolution theme.
    This novel is also popular, it was on daily popular yesterday and a few days back. Now it's in monthly popular. (rank 15)

    4: level Up Pro Gamer
    Raw Link: http://novel.munpia.com/61280
    Google translate summary:
    Class 3 pro gamer name.
    Suddenly, Jungmyung goes back to the past 10 years ago and begins to walk the professional gamer again.

    My thoughts: Another one of those go back to the past to better life with knowledge of future, I think. This sounds like a nice casual fun read. Mc is pro gamer and he goes back in time and relives his pro gaming career. I'm going to guess he will have some game elements system or ability that will aid him.(It's a modern fantasy fusion) Also it's popular being 47 in monthly best.

    5: The World after the Fall/ Destroyed in the post world
    Raw Link: http://novel.munpia.com/59917
    Google translate summary:
    This is the story of a man who did not return to the end when everyone went back to the past.

    My thoughts: Sounds kind've like everyone else is a returnee but the opposite. With the summary and picture. I'm guessing the world gets invaded by monsters, humans win and they get rewarded to be able to go back in time to earth's peaceful days. But, the mc is the only one who does not accept the reward? Not sure, hopefully, somebody can translate the prologue or first chapter and tell us!

    Not sure. I have not read your and my asylum. Also as I said I can't read Korean but rely on Google translate to understand munpia.

    I'll look into The World After the Fall and see how the writing is. If I feel like I can handle this along with Etranger and The First Hunter, I'll consider picking it up (y)

    I was looking at those novels on Munpia, but it doesn't seem like I can copy and paste the words (can't click on the readers at all )
    Also, looks like you have to pay to read them.
