[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.

I vote for the whole chapter no matter how long it takes. Well because something like dividing it will just make it a little bit confusing so just take your time. This is really just like a book it is better to wait for time so that you can really read the whole chapter than squeezing time to read a chapter part by part( my opinion). Better to be relaxed so that the quality of the translation and the health of the translator will not be compromised. We are human beings so wanting for it to be released faster is a given but we also know how hard it is to juggle things to the point of sensing lingering death. So in my opinion, just take your time we can wait just don't die on us. And also thank you for your translations

Reigo senpai, you should take a break, but the lenght of chapter still not solved even you take a break, so split the Chapter is already a good idea, and don't rushing so much, it's not like that we don't want release faster, but we understand that you are still a human with your own life and have something to do..... don't push ypurself too hard, as long there is an update TGM fans will be happy >:D

Muchas gracias por traducir tan rapido, en serio eres el papu de papus, pero no es necesario que traduscas todo de chingazo, tomate tu tiempo y hazlo con calma, esa idea de dividir capitulos largos es buena :) . Saludos desde monterrey, mexico!
