#phantom deity

[brambletakatoil]

Hello everybody, as of right now the novels (excluding illusory forest) seems to have been either deleted or taken down.

I thankfully have a copy of illusory forest and phantom deity, and I’ll be sharing it when I make a pdf or doc backup first (in case this is a copyright issue)

If anybody has a copy of wandering castle (the fan translation), that’d help tremendously!

An "angry gesture" could mean many things, but I can't shake off my head the picture of Luke doing the middle finger to somebody behind their back

(This paragraph is from Layton's book "Phantom Deity", narrated by Luke's POV, if someone's interested)

so you’re like one of the leading layton translators around here afaik, have those japan only layton novels ever been translated?

Hi!

They have, yes! I have not participated in these, and haven't checked them out either, so I'll just leave here the links that have been going around and tell you to thank those hardworking translators if you read them ^^

Here's Illusory Forest

Here's Phantom Deity and Wandering Castle

Hope that helps! <3

quick doodle of my favorite character from the novels (and then the twist killed me and honestly made me mad but who cares read the novels NOW NOW N

random thoughts but it doessss kinda pmo when level 5 has a genuinely great female character that acts on her own agency with her own goals and aspirations and personality and then its revealed shes actually just one of the master of disguises playing his role. i love a good disguise reveal but level 5's way of doing it kinda rubs me in a "they (company) only think female characters can be important when its secretly a male character or only at fault of the male character" way and it makes me mad mad

im not gonna say specifically WHO but if you read the novels then you know exactly who im talking about,, its like as soon as a female character is given any amount of depth (besides emmy) there's always some sort of twist that level 5 pulls to "justify" it.. not even just in the novels this happens in the games too me thinks.. idk i pray for women in level 5 franchises
