[Not a Chapter]: Survival of Me

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.

  • Makes sense to me. A couple light novel translations I read for huge chapters, they'll split it into parts and release it like that. They pick a good point to stop so that it's not a ridiculous cliffhanger and update with the rest later. I think it's fine.

  • Yeah. you can just divide them. Well, for me I will still read it when the whole chapter is done. hehe
    Anyway, Thank you for your hard work! :D

  • I think that cutting them apart when they are too long is a fine idea. But that's just because I would like to get some them none. Also good job so far you are awesome.

  • As someone who reads a multitude of these translated chapters I would like to thank you so much for all of the work you have done and really hope you keep yourself healthy and sane. Some people may whine about anything you are doing but know that there are an equal number of people who wholeheartedly appreciate it no matter how long it may take.

    • I agree with angelicrazen, and she/he is right please take your health as priority, I have start a part time job so I can start donating.. but with the change in dlls, it will not be much, sorry reigakai

  • As long as you're healthy anything's fine. After all you're doing it for free (aside from donation not like everybody is donating anyway).

  • Go for it! We have no reason (or any right for that matter) to complain haha! Please take care of yourself we can wait a while for these chapters instead of having nothing at all. 😂

    Thank you very much for your hard work!

  • Do whatever you need to keep yourself health and sane! We just enjoy the chapters. It's you who does the work :D.

  • I say what's good for you is good for me. Thank you for translating it at all. A live Regokai translator is much better than a dead on. The pace you have mentioned sounds fine. It's always a cliff hanger, so some more won't hurt.

  • Absolutely, you can divide them up if you need too. There's no need to overdo things. 😓

    Once again, thanks for all the hard work you do! 😄
