Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

いずれ最強の錬金術師？

Author: 小狐丸 / KogitsuneMaru

Raws: Alphapolis

Synopsis:

Iruma Takumi, a 40-year old salary man, was dragged into a hero summoning just like in a template. What was his fate? The Goddess sent him and the heroes to the other world separately.
With the Goddess’ excessive support, he landed in a different world looking handsome, rejuvenated, and quite different from a Japanese.
However, he wanted a slow life while working in the production trade. That was not permitted by the Goddess’ special body and abilities.
Would Takumi be able to live a peaceful life in a different world?

Please note that I am working on the WEB NOVEL version of this.

If it is in your capacity and if it is available to your country, please consider supporting the author, 小狐丸, by buying his Light Novels. There are currently 16 volumes.

I’m sorry it takes ages to release anything. Yes, I’m a single person and I’m also very swamped with RL obligations so I haven’t had the chance to translate for any of my projects for the past 2 months. Sorry to the readers. And thank you for reading!

Chapter 37 is linked to Chapter 3. You can get there if you go to 38 and go back, or Idle Talk 1 and go forward though.

Hi, I would like to know how to find the Raws version of the webnovel, because when a new volume of Light Novel leaves the site replaces those of the web version

The raws are unavailable because of AP’s policy. The raws I use are from prepublication which have now been removed.

What’s up with the last few chapters you’ve released being unreadable? did the editor quit or are you messing with an bot stealing the chapters? I know I’m close to dropping this “greatest Alchemist” because of it, which is a shame because it’s interesting. maybe you’re trying to imitate a type of speech, but honestly if you can’t understand 80 to 90% of the line then there is no point as it distracts from the immersion and ruins the work. I know if you ever gave something like that to any English teacher it would be an automatic F. I… Read more »

Ok so, those unreadable chapters are meant for the bots, always ignore the first link. Real chapters are in the pictures / text with which have >>>>> <<<<< written in between them unless I have specified otherwise. Also, I work alone, I don’t have editors. My apologies for not having been clear with the instructions. I’ve been using this method since chapter 10 and had recently been getting lazy of having to put more text than I have to since I assumed that people would know how my updates work at this point. Also, all my posts have “Old bot… Read more »

As I’ve said before, password is

I have checked this many times, and asked others to verify it. I am 100% sure it’s the correct password. The ” ” is to put emphasis on the password, and it is not part of the password. If you’ve typed it correctly and still can’t enter, please try clearing your cache.

If that’s how people see it then I’ll just remove the light novel illustrations altogether. The whole reason I put a password on the illustrations was to keep the images from spreading, but could still be shared with the readers. No password would be necessary anymore because there’s nothing to view.

Illustrations have been removed, future illustrations will not be uploaded.

Please be specific on the chapter number because the only ones I see that would be redirected are chapters that have NOT been released, hence the message saying “Chapters have been linked in advance because I tend to forget to update this page.”. And there are no bot baits currently in use atm either.

How the f*ck does providing the chapter titles “spoil” something? “Spoiler free browsing!?” It’s the titles of the chapters!

Sorry if you were inconvenienced, but there is no need to be rude about it.

Some people want to go into the story blind, and imagine if the novel said “the alien invasion part 1” or “Your favorite character’s funeral”. Moreover, the chapter titles are also provided by volume.

I have one question how many raw chapters do you have since you mentioned in a post from 2 years ago that the raw chapters you have are from pre publication that have been removed?

I have like 500 or so. Alphapolis only removes the chapters that are included in the next volume that they are publishing, everything after the published volume is still available on their site. That said, I still pay for the LN and manga to support the author, and I recommend others do so as well.

Do they have an English option for buying the LN or manga? Also so what will you do once you get caught up to the raw chapters you have?

Sorry about that. I didn’t see this reply.
They currently do not have the option for English translations. I update the raws I have every so often from their site as well, so there’s no need to worry about me stopping for that reason. I hope to completely translate this novel, then maybe I’ll start looking for a new one.

Is there any difference between WN and LN? I’m asking if there any changes in story or addition in the LN. I’d manga taking LN route?

The LN is pretty similar to the WN. It’s been edited and proofread so it’s much better, of course. There’s a few extra scenes added but nothing major to affect the story, from what I can tell. If I remember correctly (it’s been a while), takumi’s relationships are even more pg though. As for the manga, it’s taken a completely different turn. The main plot still seems to be the same, however, the amount of interactions Takumi has with the people around him are more emphasised. It’s a very different read. Still a mostly slow life with a lot more… Read more »
