So, this is one of those classic cases where the translation scene is a complete mess. The manhwa adaptation is more widely available on sites like Tappytoon or Webtoon, but the novel translation is scattered. I stumbled upon a partial translation on a site called Wuxiaworld a while back, but it seemed abandoned after a few dozen chapters. From what I've gathered, the main fan translation used to be on a blogspot site that's since gone private or been taken down.
You might have some luck checking aggregator sites that scrape content, but the quality and order of chapters can be totally jumbled, sometimes mixing MTL with human work. Honestly, for a series like 'Return of the Unrivaled Spear Knight', I'd check if there's any recent discussion on novelupdates. The forums there sometimes have links to Discord servers where scanlation groups share their work privately after DMCA takedowns. It's a frustrating hunt compared to bigger titles.

Finding a proper ebook for 'Return of the Unrivaled Spear Knight' is trickier than you'd expect, especially if you want a legit English version. The real hurdle is that it's a Korean webnovel, and its official availability depends heavily on the publisher's licensing decisions.
I've noticed Wuxiaworld sometimes picks up series like this, but they haven't with 'Spear Knight' yet. My usual method is checking the original Korean platform, like KakaoPage, to see if they have an official English translation service. Sometimes they do, but the catalog varies.
For now, fan translations might be the only option, and those sites shift constantly. I don't love relying on them, but it's often the only way to read. The translation quality can be a real gamble, ranging from decent to nearly unreadable.

Hold on, wait, you've seen the rumors floating around about 'Return of the Legendary Spear Knight' being based on a true historical figure too? I went down that rabbit hole for a solid afternoon, checking all the wikis and forums I could find.
From everything I've pieced together, the answer is no. It's a completely original fantasy novel and webcomic set in a fictional world with its own empires and knightly orders. The magic system, the reincarnation premise—none of that lines up with any real medieval history I've ever studied. The author likely drew general inspiration from European chivalric romance tropes, which can feel authentic, but the specifics are all invented.
It's funny how that myth gets started, though. Maybe it's because the main character, Matthew, feels so grounded in his military tactics and the political maneuvering is written with such gritty detail. It creates a convincing illusion of reality that makes people wonder.

Just did a pretty deep search because I was trying to get a friend into it. The quick version? Free and official don't really mix for this title in audiobook form. 'Return of the Unrivaled Spear Knight' is a web novel from a Korean platform, and those companies are very protective of their IP for official translations, let alone audio productions.
You'll find fan-made text translations all over the place on aggregator sites, but turning those into a narrated audiobook is a whole different level of effort. No major service like Audible or Google Play has it officially. I did stumble on a couple of AI-narrated versions on some sketchy apps, but the voice was robotic and it mispronounced every single Korean name—totally ruined the immersion. It was almost comical.
So your realistic options are either to read the translated text online for free or wait and hope an official publisher picks it up for an audio adaptation someday, which feels pretty unlikely given the niche genre.

I got to the end of that webnovel recently. The main thing that stuck with me is how Joshua finally unseals his full power as the Spear Master and faces off against the corrupted Saintess and the ancient demon king. After a huge final battle where he sacrifices his own life force, he manages to purge the demonic corruption but ends up in a sort of suspended animation. The epilogue jumps forward like a hundred years, and he's basically a legend, a statue in the capital. It's a bittersweet, open-ended finish that focuses on his legacy more than a traditional happy ending. Felt a bit rushed, honestly, but I liked that he didn't just get a princess and a castle.
Some readers online were mad he didn't end up with any of the female leads romantically, but I thought it fit his character. He was always more about duty and atonement than personal happiness. The last line is something about the wind still carrying stories of his spear.

Man, I actually have a bone to pick with this. Everyone jumps to 'Ouroboros' or the Demon Lord as the big bad, but the main villain to me, the one who actually drives the whole conflict, is Emperor Lancer. He's not a cartoonish evil overlord; he's a prideful, paranoid ruler who can't handle the return of someone he thought he'd erased. His actions, his political maneuvering, and his refusal to see anyone as an equal is what systematically destroys his own empire from within.
Joshua's return exposes every crack in Lancer's reign. The emperor spends so much energy trying to crush a ghost from his past that he ignores the real threats creeping in from the outside. His villainy is in his pettiness, his ego. He's a study in how absolute power corrupts absolutely, but also makes you incredibly stupid and blind. That's far more compelling than another generic demon king, honestly.
I loved watching his carefully constructed world of control just unravel because he couldn't let go of a grudge.
