ah, thanks for pointing out the exact chapter (111). I re-read it (unfortunately, it's no longer linked through NU). The Spirit King says he is looking at Hojae's appearance to try to remember him, then tells the girl not to associate with him. The theory that the Spirit King hates him because of some prior interaction COULD be true, but only if he is lying to the girl about why he is looking at him. If there were prior interaction we should expect that he has already memorized his appearance. Not sure.
I don't think a official reason was given. I think they just had flaky translators and unorganized group running things, so it just got dropped. Then other people started translating the novel and that was that.
Wasn't it taken down as a show of good faith in licensing talks... not that any Korean publishers have agreed to anything with small groups.
I love this novel but it’s going to take around 6 years before it’s complete at the rate it’s being translated
There's a quicker way. Just use money. Buy all the original (or the volumes that you need) and pay a translator team full time to translated it for you. Glad to be of help!
there are posts over at reddit's noveltranslations subreddit for each chapter's release (including table of contents). e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/noveltranslations/comments/f1ooqj/kr_the_tutorial_is_too_hard_chapter_229/ alternately, search the internet for "Boldly, I chose the Hell difficulty."
I take it this has been dropped? or something to do with licensing or something? Seeing as all the earlier chapters are gone from lightnovelbastion and no new chapter for awhile
