[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.

  • Do what you want. We're just readers, well actually we just wanted fixed update tho. No prob if you cut it into two if it's too much.

  • Pushing yourself is never a good thing. take your time with it. We all really appreciate your hard work, and we would hate to see you burn yourself out, physically or mentally. Change your schedule or your approach, as you see fit.

    Your suggestion is pretty close to as consistent as you will get, so if consistency is what you're looking for, by all means go for it.

  • Thanks for the Hard Work. Stay safe and mind your Health. Having chapters divided into parts is way better than having a sickly you. I repeat: Having chapters divided into parts is way better than you dying..oh wait that was different...Just stay Healthy and do not stress yourself too much.

  • Holy crap.... So what i said in chapter 190 or 189 is true!?

    That the word count is getting longer? Thats suposed to be a joke...

    But reigo-sensei... Do as you fit...
    Personaly as a writer i do feels that i want to straight on schedule but somehow things happen and wont let me do that...

    And my friend said 'do as you fit... If you keep forcing it, the result wont be nice'

    If you want to divide it in parts, personaly i dont mind.... Or perhaps other translator can collaborate with you and divide the chapter Fifty-Fifty...

    Or you can even reduce update time... But considering your words, you wont do that...

    Buy honestly whatever your choice, we're grateful to you for translating this...

  • I will follow your decision reigokai sama! Personally I prefer waiting longer, like what the rest of these guys are saying, leeches must not complain! We must support with all our heart...that's just my thoughts..

  • Yup, your decision to cut it would be the best.
    It betters to read something on a fixed pace rather than having some at random time.
    Beside, you already kindly choose to do parts for the chapter with double length, as long it doesn't burden you too much I agree with you.

    Good luck, and thanks.

  • Don't die seriously.
    You should take a break at the nearest non-cliffhanger available. You deserve at least that much for the already over the top schedule you maintain diligently.

    P.s even if you are going to split it... Isn't the next chap still 8k or are you going to spit it more?

    Thanks for your hard work kai-senpai !!.
    Do not forget to go down and have fun, it is normal to split the chapters very large, not as if the world will end, on the contrary, leaves us more curious and looking forward to our next, always when senpai have fun to Translate we feel the same so do With your time, divide the chapters as much as necessary and do not die kai-senpai !!!!!!
    It's not time for the truck-sama to pick you up yet srsrsr

    Obrigado pelo seu trabalho duro kai-senpai!!.
    Não esqueça de descaçar e se divertir um pouco, é normal dividir os capítulos muito grandes, não como se o mundo vai acabar, pelo contrario nos deixa mais curioso e ansiosos pelo próximo, sempre quando senpai traduza se divertindo nos sentimos os mesmo, então faça com o seu tempo, divida os capítulos tanto quanto forem necessário e não morra kai-senpai!!!!!!
    não esta na hora do camião-sama vir te buscar ainda srsrsr
