when yi sang start calling the sinners his friends

when he stopped a potential fight between the sinners and then proposing a relaxing team bonding activity

when he looks so hopeless when he failed to stop the fight

when he ask faust what item each sinners likes as an attempt to avoid any future conflict between the sinners

all because he doesn't want what happened to league of nine to happen on his new group of friends

*grabs you and shakes you* DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW NORMAL I AM ABOUT THIS

#just why... I could have enjoyed this event if not for what happened recently #this event is just perfect #it shows changes on Yi Sang after canto 4 #while teasing what horror the sinners will face soon #project moon #limbus company #ll's pm posting

How to read the Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Light Novels

I was recently reminded that there is a lot of people who simply don’t know that they can read the Case Files light novels, and that there are people who do know but have no idea where to find them. This is especially a problem when these people have only watched the anime and want to know where they can find more of the story. Since it kind of requires you to go through some hoops (not a whole lot but still), I decided to take a page out of @humbertozero​‘s excellent Fate/strange Fake resource post and make one for my other favorite Type-Moon Fate spinoff, the dossiers of El-Melon.

Read the First Volume: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Vol.1 (PDF) (EPUB)

Read the Second Volume: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Vol.2 (PDF) (EPUB)

Read the Third Volume: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Vol.3 (PDF) (EPUB)

Read the Fourth Volume: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Vol.4 (PDF) (EPUB1) (EPUB2)

Read the Fifth Volume: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Vol.5 (PDF) (EPUB)

Read the Sixth Volume: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Vol.6 (PDF) (EPUB)

Read the Seventh Volume: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Vol.7 (PDF) (EPUB)

Read the Eighth Volume: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Vol.8 (PDF) (EPUB)

Read the Ninth Volume: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Vol.9 (PDF) (EPUB)

Read the Tenth Volume: Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Vol.10 (PDF) (EPUB)

Important note!

It should be noted first that I am just the compiler here. I am neither the translator nor am I the files’ creator. So all credits go to...

Credits

Credits and thanks to TwilightsCall on the Beast Lair forums (from which the majority of the other creditors originally posted their contributions) for translating the first 4 volumes and some of volume 5, thus getting the ball rolling. Further thanks to azwhoisverybored for translating the rest of the series from volume 6 onwards, and thanks to Kneenaw for starting the translation for the rest of volume 5. Thanks to Dotelias for making EPUBs for volumes 1-3, thanks to  cereal_ for making EPUBs of volume 4, thanks to u/confusedkuratowski on Reddit for making EPUB of volume 6, and thanks to ProtoformX for making PDFs and EPUBs for volumes 5 to 10 as well as for Adventures volume 1!

And big thanks to Makoto Sanda for writing Case Files in the first place!

Further explanations

Anime

The anime adaptation of Case Files, with the mouthful of a title that is Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note, is particular to use as an entry-point in the series, because it only partially adapts the series. See, the author, Makoto Sanda, said in interview that the two first arcs/cases in the series didn’t quite work as scripts for anime episodes, so the anime only adapted the third case/arc, Rail Zeppelin, which is more action oriented than the more mystery focused first arcs. But because they still needed to explain stuff like Gray, Reines, El-Melloi’s students, etc., many of whom are relevant characters to the arc, the first half/six episodes of the anime is about introducing them.

So to the question “where do I start reading after the anime?”, the answer is unironically to restart at volume 1. And then you may skip volumes 4-5 since they are the Rail Zeppelin arc and there are not much differences besides some characters not being present during that arc. This is why I think you can watch the anime first if that’s more your speed (I have my problems and criticisms of the anime but that’s irrelevant to this post).

And you can’t start with the anime and start reading with volume 6, the first 3 volumes have characters and plot points that come back for the final arc, so you’re gonna be incredibly lost if you think to consume the series this way.

Weirdly enough, despite being original episodes, the anime originals are most likely canon in some ways. Episode 0, the original OVA, is an expansion of an anecdote Gray mentions in the first volume’s prologue, and Episode 1 takes place during Waver’s travels before the story starts and is an actual story, one of the 3 incidents Sanda has in mind for Waver’s journey before he returned to London. Episodes 2 to 6 take place during the one month period between volume 3 and volume 4, and finally the special OVA take place on Christmas also in between arcs.

Manga

The manga has gorgeous art, but, at the time of writing, it is unfortunately only translated up to the second case right now. Still, go check it out.

The Adventures of El-Melloi II

The sequel series currently ongoing, started a year after the first Case Files ended in 2019. You might know it as “the (other) series where Rin shows up grown up and also a pirate”. @reignsan has been compiling pretty thorough chapter-by-chapter summaries of the volumes by @kaibutsushidousha if you don’t mind being spoiled. Or you can be patient and wait for azwhoisverybored to finish translating them on Beast Lair in this thread.

At the time of writing (27/07/23), the first volume of Adventures has been completed and compiled into PDF and EPUB forms.

Lord El-Melloi II Case Files material

This is absolutely not required reading in any shape or form, those lore books are usually of interest only to dumb nerds like me lol. A timeline of the Clock Tower? An explanation of its politics? Yes please. But it also has insights into the characters by the author that aren’t in the books proper, as well as behind-the-scenes explanations for some decisions (for example, why it’s Gray with the American spelling instead of Grey with the British spelling). Only the glossary/encyclopedia is translated, but give it a look...after you read the series, because it assumes you did and has some big spoilers.

Drama CD

What’s that? You heard something about a Buzzfeed quizz about the most handsome Clock Tower teachers and how it’s somehow a plot point? Look no further than one of my only posts that did numbers. Read the summary, it’s hilarious.

The LL guys just have to deal with H Solar being frustrated by their own burnout

He hates feeling lazy and doesn’t get why he can’t do anything when normally he’s able to work 24/7. It’s probably his first time actually experiencing burnout since before it was always a survival situation that pushed him to be productive x

LL Lunar and son will probably tell him it's okay. There's nothing wrong being lazy or however he thinks it. That's just kind of how life is as like a ruler over a universe. Once you're done with your stuff you just don't want to do shit. Although perhaps if the others have tasks they'll invite him. Just so he can feel busy.

Honestly LL Blood Moon can kind of get the feeling a lot more than the others. Being a blood moon he kind of has to do something. Anything. ADHD stuff. So if he says he doesn't want to have burnout. Then he can ride on his shoulders and do patrols with him. Which can be literally anywhere because after a point patrolling the same area seems useless. So they might go on a grand adventure but at least for the both of them it would feel like they're doing something.

assigning tarot cards to the LL cast and getting to five like no that's too many cards i said THREE. you can have THREE. put some back

#lorien legacies #LL tag #LL number five #this is mostly just with the major arcana too i've barely even scratched at the minor arcana #although five of pentacles reversed is about the most on the nose a card could possibly have been 🥲 #BUT YEAH THERE'S. SO MANY THERE'S SO MANY #the moon is His Card as far as i'm concerned re: the major arcana #but also. we got your fool reversed. we got your hermit reversed. we got your sun reversed #we got your hierophant doing cartwheels #same for six of cups 🥲 #setrákus is the magician BIG TIME as well as the emperor and also doing the hierophant cartwheel #there's a bunch more i'll have to go into later because i slept poorly and my head feels real grainy #i know that fandom tarot projects are something that does not ever get finished because holy shit understandable #22 very detailed and symbolism-heavy illustrations and that's /just/ for the major arcana #but i very very much want to at least do the moon for five #and probably also the magician for setrákus just because i have a Clear Image of it in my head. he even has the eye of thlaloc for the wand #setrákus ra #tarot stuff #also the theme of the entire first series is just the star reversed; which i also have a really clear image of #the spaceship making its descent to earth #which is /supposed/ to eventually transition into the star upright when they wake up lorien #which is a shame because that would also make for some great star imagery except that the entity's deal is the uh. the star But Evil #while being played entirely straight by the authors 🙃 #so there's that! #LL entity #EDIT: HOW DID I FORGET THE DEVIL #FOR FIVE HOW DID I FORGET #HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

That's Gregor from Limbus Company! One of the characters calls him "Gregor babe" one time

Oh he´s been on my radar for a while already I told myself I´d never thirst for a gacha character, but how could I resist? Gregor babe...

#Skd #I know project moon games are difficult to get into so I´ll just watch your posts from the sidelines and cheer #also cause I´m trying to reduce the number of gacha games I play to one
