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.

Ibdont give a shit about what you say. JUST DO YOUR WORK YOU LAZY SLAVE!!
JK. Do it at your own pace man. We can wait. Maybe.
I'm actually rather shocked you stayed consistent with the releases. No one can berate you for being late or releasing in parts. Nai wa~
Break the chapter before it breaks you! geeze. you spoil us too much.
Just do whatever is the best for you! I enjoy your translations, but you don't need to suffer to release them.
Just take longer.
But we WILL NEED you to to have a I AM STILL ALIVE kinda thing so we know you aren't dead.
Do whatever you want. Waiting extra time between chapters, or having two or so parts is fine. I personally prefer 2 parts with the segmented way the chapters are already divided up.
Do what you need to stay alive. Any releases of this make us readers unbelievably happy. It's like a nice little perk up. Pacing yourself is waaaay better than burning yourself out on this. Translate as you want and thank you for translating so much as you have and for sharing this great series with us.
Bro that's ruff, cut them in half. If anyone complains, they can try doing what you do and see how long they last, also thanks for the chapters!!!! :)
Personally I would prefer to read a complete chapter. So I don't mind waiting longer. But it's up to you. If you're more comfortable with splitting chapters, go for it!
As one of your editors (formerly?), I'm with Dark Jackel. You should post things at your own pace, you shouldn't stress yourself out because the chapters are double the word count. Divide them, make it less of a pain. Not to mention... you might catch up with the actual web novel at your current pace. You don't want that... unless you want to focus more on DEH. Still, I say pace yourself. Yeah, there's probably millions out there who could translate the novel. But there's only one Reigokai, and we don't wanna lose him.
For those wondering, it wasn't Spoiler-san talking.
Reigo-San, just do what feels best for you. We endured 1 chapter a week, so no need to force yourself to translate it on time.
I prefer your usual eloquency over a rush job or worse, you burning out halfway.
If it takes longer than usual, I'm in no position to complain, all power to you~
