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 gotta say dude, you're my nigga. You work 3 times as hard as any other translator out here and you have so much passion for what you do. I can understand that you want to get this content to us as fast as possible and that you don't want to disappoint us but if it's taking a toll on your health and irl life, I'd rather you stop and take care of yourself. But all of us here love your work and you obviously don't want to stop so I suggest you take more time off or even lenghthen the time between releases, after all we had to wait weekly for a chapter while you were gone. You've been so good to us reigokai and I would hate to see you burn out so just do what's best for you. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication man.
Don't overwork yourself. Yeah, it's probably smarter to translate by word count instead or something. In the newest chapter, you could easily divide it into two parts at the conclusion point of the competition.
That said, I think the only concern I would have about this is the impact on the comments section. So if a chapter is divided into two parts every so often, will they just be separate posts that are treated as different chapters? I personally prefer my chapters whole for organization's sake, but that would be impossible under this system without either losing some comments or scattering them between posts.
...Hmm. I'm not entirely sure how I even want it now that I think about it, but I think the long and short of it is that you should do whatever you need to to avoid over-exhausting yourself. ^^
Hello, This is my first time ever commenting so I may not all right to say this but I read about 10 different one a month so with that said you have no idea that your rate of speed in releasing chapters in about 2-3 time as fast as most are released, that said you should just due whatever is best for you and your health. Some of the ones I read may only have a single chapter a month, so like that you are a god to us that put up this those novels. Please Take Care Of Your Health And Tanks For Everything!
DO YOUR BEST!
Thanks for all the chapters you have translated reigokai. I personally side with take your time and release a whole chapter rather than in parts as some have said its sometimes hard to pick a point where its good to stop. Also i hope you dont overwork yourself to the point where you dont have a life outside translating this wonderful chapters because a happy person will be more productive than a slave trying to keep up with the schedule.
Don't translate by chapters, translate by your free time and just splice chapters as part 1, part 2, etc.
Thanks for all
I mean fine
Divide them up is find I think. As long as there's not much of a cliff
Don't split, just take longer to release. We're already spoiled at the current pace so if you made it every 5 to 7 days we'd be fine. Don't burn out.
I think you should do what you find most convenient for yourself, and no matter what your choice may be I will continue loving this series. Thanks for your hard work!
