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.

you are only translator i know who do something like this. Most of the translator will not even bother to give the reader notice like this when they late for the translation .
As for me i think you should post the whole chapter it's ok for me to wait for a bit longer as long as you continue this
That's for me
Thanks you Very Much
Dont part it out, just tell us its an 8k chapter, and release it as an entire chapter when its done as for sponsored chapters, instead of entire chapters make it sponsored word counts
1$ = 150-200 words with a 4000 word limit per week of sponsored shit. this way lets say you have 2 weeks of 4k 8k 8k and 4k
this would mean 1 chapter that has no sponsored text, and one chapter that has half sponsored text then the next week you have 1 chapter release with nothing that's 8k and one chapter that completely sponsored.
I'm not sure if you are able to, I don't know word press enough, but if you can put a widget to the right under or above the donation area that just has chapter numbers and estimated size that would be perfect, especially if you decide to not split and just make one releases so everyone knows what to kind of expect.
and just a last note, fucking dick move putting "[Not a Chapter]: Survival of Me
I…I’m dying." as your title and first line
this is what it looked like in my inbox

making me literally think you are dying of something and not just overworked.
Gracias por tus grandiosas traducciones, me alegro que sigas traduciendo la novela sin duda esto se esta poniendo cada vez mas interesante :D
Tch. How typical of an author not to think of the translators and just keep increasing the length of the chapters.
Seriously though. Why did the author increase the length of chapters, even though they're still split into parts with a separator? Was it because of a writing spree? I don't see any reason why they couldn't have been released as separate chapters, so I don't mind you splitting them yourself.
I think it might just be that the author is getting further into the swing of their writing, so it just got easier to pump it out over time.
That said, this newest chapter clearly had a very clean point to split into two, so I dunno...
thanks for the hard work. i vote for 1 week per super long chapter
My friend, i know that you have a life as any of us, take the all of this easy, if you feel to take a long time to make a chapter do it, if you feel to split in 2 or more part do it; we appreciate all your efforts for this novel, for your consist and dedication... really personally i can even wait a month... well... the path to follow is yours and only yours... and we have to admit our fate... :P
First comes your health, then comes the chapters. We can wait. It's not like we're doing anything else productive eitherway. Or losing sanity waiting for next chapter. Hehehe... Who needs sanity either way, right? RIGHT? HAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Whatever fits your needs, just don't stop the translations.
Too deep in to drop it :(
I don't have anything productive to add, but I think it's funny that the word count jumps up just after you set and announce a schedule. It's as if the author knew you were going to commit, and said, "Confident, are ya? We'll just see about that."
Like I said, nothing productive to add. You just do you, and as long as that involves investing some amount of time translating, we'll be here.
Fuck Murphy. It's Makoto's Law now.
It's always a good idea to have a schedule, whatever keeps you going, for a good example One Piece takes a break every 3 weeks for such reasons.
