Hello guys, Reigokai here!
Man, this has been one rough year… I want to update you guys with the state of things right now.
First, about the 2 months of pay. As expected, it was out of my hands. Even so, I consider showing the will to fight back an important thing to do. My life was taking a nosedive, but…thanks to the overwhelming support of you guys and my patreons, I can survive this month! I really don’t know how to express this gratitude. You guys are the best!
Second, regarding the “botting” issue with the website, I have to clear up something… You guys don’t have to apologize for refreshing my page. I find the whole fault to be with this web hosting. If you guys have been refreshing my page in the past, I invite you to continue doing as you have been doing until now. I really love a lively comment section and I don’t want that to die just because of a phantom fear. It is silly to suffer from what’s just a natural thing to have in a website. That’s like telling people on youtube to stop refreshing their site to check for video updates.
However, if there’s actual bots out there, please do stop. I did say it is okay to refresh, but if the refreshing is excessive, that could cause some issues.
Anyways, I just have to say that the customer service here was horrible. I don’t know how much I can disclose of this, but they presented me with an issue on my website, took away key features from me, and told me what was equivalent to ‘wait for the botting to decrease, and then we will tell you the next step of the process’. I questioned them several times that what I wanted the most is a HOW to solve this ‘botting’ issue, and what they tell me is ‘we have no way to stop it from our side’. So…they are basically telling me to ‘wait and pray’. How lovely.
I am actually a bit reluctant to even continue posting on this site now. They were so sudden with all of this, so silent until I actually pressed for the matter, and so apathetic about what’s most definitely a glaring hole in their system that I am appalled. I wouldn’t be surprised if they suddenly went nuclear on this site out of nowhere. It is that level of fear.
I really don’t know what to do. Should I switch to another web hosting service? If you guys have any recommendations for a new one, please tell me. I don’t mind if there’s a price tag for it.
If you guys have any suggestions to resolve this issue, I would love to hear them, as I can’t consider myself savvy in this area.
Anyways, I will be resuming chapter posting in 2 days! I am really reluctant to even post new chapters with the current state of things, so I want to have a few days of breathing room and see your responses. It will also help me calm down a bit and think for myself.
And…that’s all! I can’t really say things have completely wrapped up, but I would say it is on its way to a conclusion. The routes have branched, and I would like to know what you guys have to say on this.
Looking forward to your input! Also, stay safe and stay sanitized!

thanks always for the hardwork~ i very much dont know about wordpress tho, i just making this account to comment only, tehee~~
No worries.
Please take a break.
U have being translating non stop for quite some time now.
I'm reading another book over at Nyx and it was stuck on WP, but in that site they're quite a bit further along. So it's a suggestion to check it out. Glad you're doing better.
I-i-it's not like I'm waiting or anything..... hmph!!
Welcome Back!
Glad to hear you're back man! Hope you also had atleast a little time for yourself. In any case, i'd follow you to a new site. You are what I read here anyway and if they don't treat you well screw them!
Thanks for the update. I haye this but I suggest you slow down WM's release rate, start a third novel (I recommend Shingan no Yuusha), open up Douchuu's patreon once more and open a DK patreon.
You've worked long and hard. It shows in your HQ translations. If you keep working at this speed you'll catch up to WM's author by March at the latest. The faster you drain your sponsor chaps the faster they will refill. Sadly NU's SnY raw link is dead and I was unable to find a new one. Hoping you have better luck and the manga is available if you want to preview the novel. Most fans arent talkative and DK's loyalists will pay if they want more. I only ask you give them a way to do it. Leave Douchuu at 1/week and let the chapter count grow.
Maybe if it's doable for you, make a fixed hour to post a chapter, so probably the ones that will be refreshing like crazy are those who need to say "First" in the comments.
ah , the cult of seinbot :P
You ca use Google Cloud Platform and install Wordpress there, check this video:

I hope its helps.
I can't delete the comment but apparently there are a lot of problems with the suggestion I made, it's looks like there are security problems with wordpress in that platform, so ignore my comment.
Thanks for your great work btw.
Welcome back Reigokai and sorry WP are being useless. I agree with what Azuka said and ask everyone to subscribe to email notifications. I always get your new post alerts via email and it should slightly stagger the visits to your site as well. Keep your head up Reigo and don't let the ******** win lol.
I'm glad to know that you're better
to avoid the issue of bots you could use cloudfire or some captcha (not very annoying please) in case someone is using bots
its really great to have another post and update on the situation. seems like things have gotten better but still far from perfect. can't say I have much advice since im not very wise when it comes to online matter but happy your situation has at least improve since the previous post. as far as you maybe moving to another site, if that does happen ill follow whenever as im a fan of your work. take your time as you decide to do what is best for yourself. take care.
