Okay, so I finally got home from a long vacation that I still translated through regardless, and found the Sevens and Lazy King volume I preordered a while ago on my doorstep. Let me say Sevens Volume 1 Does not go too far into telling you which ancestor is which, and that’s kinda still up to the wind. Image-wise, I can’t say the artist did a bad job, and is it really that hard to tell which of the sampled image characters is which?
The Lazy King Volume 1 does not diverge from the Webnovel, and it ends at Zebul’s death, with some extra stuff at the end. It also has actual Skill descriptions. While it doesn’t say Volume 1 on it, it does end with a ‘to be continued’. This being the case, I will not say much about it. Support the author, get some pretty pictures. The colored pictures from it are already circulating, but I feel those don’t do Zebul or Deije much justice, so I’ll be uploading these two images alone.
Here’s Zebul Glaucus
Deije is not actually the centerpiece or focus of any of the images. Poor Dieje. He’s nicer than he lets on. Anyways, here’s a shot of Medea that gives you a full view of his physique. As it cuts at chapter 5, you do not get to see her Pillow Lord form. This is not the best image they have of Medea.

It said in the story, when she is fighting Deijie and Medea, that she was a loli, it’s the tentacles that are different than I expected, I expected something like Spawn’s cape, just her cloak blending with the shadows making twisty tentacles with eyes and mouths (mostly mouths). Like a separate living being, just flowing around this little loli.

It’s said that she was small. That’s for Demon standards, and look at Deije. She’s a short-ish adult woman, it seems, and Medea is the same.

Since that’s Novem, who’s the dark-brown hair girl (could be lighting making her hair darker, I guess) in the other color image? To me, it looked like the author took Novem and made her into two different characters (totally not normal mode/yandere mode, or something like that).
Since dark-hair has purple eyes like Novem is supposed to (at least in the web version) and has that cold expression I imagined her having, and side-tail Novem has blue eyes with an actual expression.
Not to mention both girls have their goddamn pinkies out like they’re drinking tea. With their staves.
Also, the author already posted who the ancestors are on twitter.

Yeah, the one I didn’t recognize was Sophia. She’s basically how I pictured Novem, minus the no sidetail and having darker hair (I never pictured Novem’s as THAT bright anyway). So she’s a new heroine or something, then.
But why was Novem’s eyes changed from purple to blue… I mean, I know a lot of the heroines have (different shades of) purple eyes, but that’s no reason.

Thanks for translating, and hope you enjoyed your vacation.
The monochrome image of Medea matches what I expected pretty well. At some point she says that she lacked nutrition when she was young, so I imagined a slightly bony, unremarkable look, which I think the illustrator captured.
As for Vol 1 Zebul, I know she’s described as a smallish woman with green hair – but really her mad voraciousness is so overwhelming that I could never see her as anything other than the pitch blackness filled with red eyes of Alucard from Hellsing — only with mouths instead of eyes. (Google for “hellsing eyes” to see what I mean.)
And as for Lorna and Hiero, I see them as Horn Skuld and Chess Belle from Owari no Seraph: http://i.imgur.com/RXRDsh3.jpg

Actually, I enjoy Seven more than lazy king. Lazy king has too many not interested POV from uninteresting character. Author’ style is extremely difficult to write, author needs to familiar us with new character everytime before giving us his/her POV which is extremely difficult. And if author fails to impress us with new character, the whole chapter from that character will become extremely boring…
