(Synopsis)
Iwatani Naofumi was summoned into a parallel world along with 3 other people to become the world’s Heroes. Each of the heroes were respectively equipped with their own legendary equipment when summoned. Naofumi coincidentally received the Legendary Shield as his weapon. Due to Naofumi’s lack of charisma and experience, he ended up with only a single teammate while others have several. Unfortunately, on his third day Naofumi was betrayed, falsely accused, and robbed by the said teammate. Shunned by everyone from king to peasants, Naofumi’s thoughts were filled with nothing but vengeance and hatred. Thus, his destiny in a parallel World begins…

    1. (Taken from Yoraikun’s FAQ)
      Q: What’s the difference between the Light Novel and the Web Novel for Tny?
      A: The Stories are different. Here’s a brief history. The Web Novel was the original. It started releasing in October 2012, and finished with 378 chapters, 3 side stories (Christmas, Valentines and White Day), and an ongoing spin off. The Web Novel is updated by the author daily, so it is almost impossible to reach his pace, and we are approximately matching it. The Light Novel is a different work entirely. It is a publication by MF Books which is based on the Web Novel, with the author’s input. The stories are more fleshed out, and diverge greatly. More characters, events and settings are introduced and Naofumi is less cynical. The story also isn’t even near the point translation is at at the moment. Right now, the stories have reached a point where they are completely different. By the way, the illustrations you occasionally see are all from the Light Novel, so you won’t get any soon unless they advance and rejoin the story. The Manga is based on the Light Novel. Not the Web Novel.

    1. Sorry, I have no intention of continuing with it, as I have picked up a new series. If anyone would like to translated the valentine’s arc, I am happy to host their translations here (maybe even tlc for them if they need it).

      1. Hello I just wanted to ask if the translations for wordpress on stories like these are legal just wanted to know since really want to read this and its pretty hard to find in english

        1. It depends on the series and what not – for example, while Tate no Yuusha is licensed in english (at least on the US), they got the Light Novel version of it – the one here is the WEB Novel version, which the original itself is free for people to read, so there should be no legal problems.

          About Light Novels translations, well, those are mostly on a legal grey zone – if they aren’t licensed, the translators are not breaking any law – but if they are working on it and posting on WordPress, they sure as fuck don’t hold the rights to it – if it gets licensed, well, they’ll have to delete the chapters, I guess.

  3. Tell me please.
    Ranobe is still coming out, but has the web romance already ended?
    If so, could you say: is it a good ending in a web novel?
    Since I want to start reading only if the ending is good.

  6. Just found out that people have done the White Day side story too, that’s cool – but Kookie, a question if I may: what exactly are the chapters between the Valentine’s Day and White Day?

    I really thought it was like this: Main series > Christmas > Valentine > White Day, and that’s it… is there any other side stories (without the whole Nidome no Motoyasu) that I wasn’t aware?

  9. Is this the entire completed Web Novel? And how good would you say is the translation? Cause I’m looking to read all forms of Shield Hero and so since the Light Novel and Manga have physical adaptions to buy all I need is to read the Web Novel somewhere.

  10. Hello, would like to ask about some of the chapters that aren’t available anymore… Did it get taken down? Or did the website have some problems? If you could, could you please upload the chapters again? Your translations are really good, and most of the other places that can be read online are only the light novel versions. Many thanks and wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
