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.

Your heath is far more important than everything for me stay healthy even it take a week or more to finish an entire very big chapter or divide it I can wait for it Rei in good health means more chapter in the future so its much better... What ever you decide I will support and Thank you for the chapter always..
if it became long split it like normal. after all back pain is incridbly a bitcjh. Just ask that because of studying its FKing who'rely painful
My honest opinion is to go your own pace on translating. While having several chapters each week I personally wouldn't mind waiting extra time so you do t break down. Seriously Reigokai go at your own pace and don't worry so much about keeping the schedual, we leachers can wait a few more days
cutting it into 2 isnt that much of a big deal i like that you have a schedule and a routine is better as most people would know when your gonna post a chapter, in other words i prefer a routine were i know when a chapter would come out than irregular updates and thanks for your hardwork :3
given your reader-base seems to love you, I doubt anyone would mind terribly if you took more time on longer chapters. if nothing else you can just say "INC extra long chapter, see you in 6 days" at the end of chapters
of course if you want to keep a schedule, then yes divide the extra long ones into 2 parts
A dead Translater averages 0 Chapters a week after all
Honest opinion, readers from this site has been spoiled too much with your fast update, if you think the chapter is too long to be finish split it up reigo~senpai.. Infinitenoveltranslation does the same thing for Hachinan tte... making a 1 chapter to 3-4 parts at most... similar thing happens to The New Gate thats being translated on shintranslation... i think its a fair method that wouldn't tire you out..
I'm siding with the people who say release the chapter as you finish, rather than parts, maybe put a poll up to see what the other people think, but having a large chapter instead of multiple cliffhangers sounds better. Despite the site name lunatic, you surely aren't one when it comes to your own health, I think. Thanks for the update as usual.
There's no need to be so harsh on yourself. Do what is easier and best for you. We don't mind waiting for a week. Thanks for the chaps! XD
Yeah they've been getting longer and longer indeed.
Do it the way you need to.
or could outsource a bit and ask for help to translate portions or something. more than a few who would help I imagine.
Well, your options would be scheduling the estimated release time or update the chapters by parts. Whichever you choose though, please be aware that you're very much appreciated for your efforts. :)
