I…I’m dying.
As you may have already noticed, the chapters are beginning to turn out incredibly long. Accurately speaking, twice as long. Like literally twice the length of a normal chapter. To give an idea of it, a normal chapter would be around 4k count which is around 14 pages long; chapter 191 is 8k, which was 29 pages.
At this rate, my body will not be able to hold out. Seriously, it can’t. To keep up, I actually sacrifice way too much of my time.
So here I am, for a serious talk with you guys. I have thought out a method that might help keep me alive:
– Limit the word count. As previously stated, 4k is the usual word count of a chapter which is close to that of chapter 190 for reference. 8k would be this chapter 191 and chapter 189.
When faced with an 8k chapter or higher, we can separate it in 2 parts, no more than that. As you know, chapters in this web novel are normally divided already, so the cuts shouldn’t feel as unnatural as other novels.
This will only apply for chapters more than double the length. If the chapter is 5k or 6k, I won’t mind it. But since the chapters that have been coming (and next chapter is actually four times the length, no kidding) are way out of normal word count, I can easily tell that my body will drop dead if I continue at this pace.
This will bring consistency which is what I have been looking for when I placed a schedule. I really want to maintain the schedule, so if there’s other suggestions that can help do that, I would like to listen to them.

You are the one doing us a favour here, which means you are the one holding the stirngs here.
Choose your own way of doing things which benefits you the most, and make realistic choices.
Thanks for your work
Aiming for a certain word count makes way more sense IMHO, at least when the chapter length varies a lot. We get to enjoy the story thanks to your hard work so just go at whatever pace you feel is comfortable and don't burn yourself out! :)
two part
and here somehow i cant stop laughing at your suffer
Personaly I prefer to read a chapter as a whole. But, whatever option you will take it should be okay if you just give information when the next chapter will be uploaded. Please tell us when and what to expect.
Thanks for your hard work Reigokai Sama.
Apoyo esta moción con toda violencia!, no te preocupes, agradezco que traigas los capitulos, pero los excesos no son buenos, si crees que ese método te permitirá traer los capítulos y cumplir con la vida diaria me parece muy bien.
I'm part of the 'Release full chapters so do it at your own pace' camp. Most of us are just reading this for free anyways, so it would be better for us all for you to stay healthy so that you can keep translating it. We'll accept any decision that you make afterwards.
Thanks for constantly translating this novel, Reigokai-sama!
*bows*
Sir reigo...
Firstly, thank you for all the effort u put in translation and maintainf consistency.
As some may hav suggested, i would prefer a full chapter than it being by parts. So, you may just do a quick check on the length on next chapter an provide the ETA.
Well, if reig senpai want to keep on schedule. I proposed doing it part by part at your usual pace like saying chapt xx part 1. Many TL's most do this to prevent eye cancer(i think) or over fatigues(resulting to rage quit), which is quite a horror to us ~_~. Sky's method do this too to some novel he's TL's Overlord is an example.
But if you want the package to release. It's better to do and say "head's up!! one chapt might take two weeks!" X_x. Well i dont mind at least, we're not machines that do TL's day and night and that dont just translate word by word without feelings(google translator is such a heartless bastard that gave me an eye cancer).
So thats my suggestion. So hope it helps reig senpai
Thanks for the chapt release!! Lol!
I am fine with parts as well. I would rather have consistency than translator-san burning out. And the series usually has multiple good breaking in most chapters.
