Apart from the Manhwa and an upcoming Anime, this series has Light Novels as well. Except they are translated by Yen Press.
Basically, they weren't released in Japan or even in Korea (I'm uncertain about Korea though)

So the reason that the Light Novels aren't here in the MAL database, is it because Yen Press is an American Publisher?
I suppose there would need to be physical releases from Japan, Korea or China, since only the series from these places are added to the database.
Is that the case?

It's not a Light Novel , but a Web one. Which mean plain long text , like a regular Novel , but online.
They did got a physical release in Korea , and it finished in 2017 with 14 Volumes in total.
And yes , if a Novel/Manga is only physically published in the US , it won't be added.

Anyway , as the post above said , it was already added a few months ago.

Yes, but since Web novels generally don't get added, that's why I was referred to the LN
I didn't realize it had already been added.
Thanks for the update!

Well , if they get a physical release , they get labelled as regular Novels.
For those , the guidelines of MAL says they'll be added only if a direct adaptation of it is already in the database. (Be it Animes or Mangas...)
So 99% already don't fit , and regular Novels is literally the lowest priority of MAL anyway.
