    So I know that both the LN and the WN are being translated by different groups.

    I've dropped this novel awhile ago due to the many different hiatus it is been put on by various people. And I'm looking to pick it back up again... hopefully it doesn't dissolve into your typical save the girls, harem type Japanese novel that is so standard now. But I'll find that out soon enough.

    So my question is whether or not I should be reading the LN or the WN.
    In most cases I would always go for the LN... they are edited and are essentially a second draft of the popular story. So mistakes are fixed among other things. But those positives dont always translate over. But you never know.

    Would it be better for me to pick up the LN or the WN from where I left off.

    Which one is translated at a higher quality?

    Are there any big differences between the two?
    Is the LN better than the WN in the raws?

    Thanks for any help you all can offer.

    I think you should go for the LN because the translation quality is very good and the LN translation is also far ahead the WN.

    Well I think you should continue to read the LN because the translation of the LN got picked up by Hikoki translation and that guy releases 1 chapter after every two weeks which is not too slow(I think?).

    What you can say as slow is 1 chap every 2-3 months. The older generation translators usually translated a chap every month which i use as time reference about how fast a translator can be

    Well the LN is going to have steady translation updates for now so I'd say LN is better
