Hey guys, Reigokai here!
So…as you can read from above, the issue about the website? I am technically paying a premium for this site without getting any premium benefits. Isn’t that great?
I was told to wait and they will investigate if most of the traffic is non-human, and IF most of it are actually majorly humans, THEN they will do something about it; if not, I am fucked. No countermeasure was given to me. So I just wait and see, and am basically in a situation where it is more like “hey, you got lost in the desert? It would be great if you had something so you wouldn’t get lost again. Too bad, we don’t do that. Okay, now go back into the desert”.
It is the last straw. I was legit hesitating, not because of them, but because of all the comments and memories we have in this website, which I am pretty sure will be lost if I were to move somewhere else (if you guys have any ideas to bring them along, I would love to know). However, I feel like staying here will only make the wound fester and make it hurt even more when I eventually HAVE to move.
Because of all this, I am increasing the priority of moving. This will definitely affect my release schedule, and I apologize, but every time I press the publish button, I actually feel terrible now.
The moving of websites at first, I thought would be in 2 months or so, and maybe even stay if things got better, so the priority was low, only affecting the schedule lightly…but now…
Anyways, just wanted guys to let you know in case you were wondering why I am not releasing chapters when they are supposed to.
Any suggestions are welcomed!
“It may not have been explained the best, but it is as I told you…
“Uguo… That felt terrible…” What I saw within my vision was an endless white space.…
It is not like I was certain, but I did think that we might end…
“Eh? It wasn’t that you came to visit me?” (Furiae) “Aah, yeah…you could say that.”…
There may have been cases when I would begrudge my own lack of strength, but…

Lurker here just to say that you're dedicated to the releases and you kept with Tsuki even through it's 2-year hiatus, you're definitely in the clear to have bumps in the release schedule. think of it as cashing in your sick days.
Bit like renting you a storefront and then preventing you from stocking merchandise because you have "too many customers". Sounds like they're unsubtly making life difficult for you so you'll leave before someone falls through their server floor into termitopia.
we will always support you Rei!
Je vous suis depuis longtemps et vous avez tous mon soutien. Honnêtement je comprend pas cette situation où personne vérifie quoi que ce soit et ou on accuse la victime du crime.
If you're moving, don't forget to link us!
With regards to comments, maybe use Disqus or suchlike? I'm not sure about how it works, but separating the hosting of contents and discussion should mean easier preservation of discussions in case you need to move again. Hope you'll find a better service to host your translations, because what happened to you sounds like the sort of shitty move done by shady brands. Moving definitely sounds like the proper action. Don't forget to check to see if you can get compensated for the trouble too, at least for the remainder of your subscription's worth. Though with how things has unfolded, you might need to write off the remaining subscription you have as a loss, not gonna put much hope to the customer service.
Just leave your new address I fallow you there.
As a constant lurker of the site and a grateful reader, I want to first say thanks for all the translations you provide.
As someone with sysadmin background I would like to offer the following advice.
1) [!IMPORTANT!] Migrate your domain to your own registrar. This is the most important thing to do as it will allow you to maintain ownership of the isekailunatic.com domain for whatever hosting provider you choose to move to.
I personally use https://Domains.Google (and others) and would suggest it as it has a pretty easy to use interface, but it is up to you. Many people use godady or others.
Note that when you transfer your domain out, you will have to pay for at least 1 year at the new registrar; Google charges $12 for com domains. I do not know if WordPress charges you extra for the domain, but this will be a (new?) yearly bill you will need to pay, but it is better to own your domain directly than let another company hold you hostage.
See the following for how to transfer your domain out of WordPress.com. This does not mean you will stop using WordPress.com, but it will give you complete ownership of the domain name.

2) Once you have your domain under your control, you will need to remap back to WordPress.
WordPress provides instructions to do so, but they take over as your name servers, which is annoying.
I would just create the required A Records:
@ A 192.0.78.24
@ A 192.0.78.25
see the following if using google domains: https://support.google.com/domains/answer/9211383?hl=en&ref_topic=9018335
3) [Optional] Setup CloudFlare as a DDoS protection and CDN (this might help you with the current issue you are facing with WordPress.com). You can use others, but CloudFlare is free for personal use and has a very good track record. Also note that this will take over the name servers as well, making step 2 moot, but a required step anyway.

and: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/227634427-Using-Cloudflare-with-WordPress
4) As stated above, if/when you migrate off of WordPress.com, if you are still going to use a WordPress site hosted elsewhere, then do your backup, restore, etc.
Lastly, if you do decide to proceed with the registrar migration and other steps and wish for help, I can make myself available; be it email, google hangouts, google meet, etc. I am on Pacific Time, but can make most times work regardless as covid-19 has me working from home.
Really sucks you are dealing with issues when you are paying for the site. Don’t blame you for wanting to move and when it happens I’ll follow to the new site. Sucks the releases will be effected but sure most people will understand.
How about asking out LNT(lightnovelstrasnlations.com)
A handful of other translations I'm following migrated and have their translations there.
Didn’t they just purchase their own domain from Wordpress?
or light novel bastion, I assume he knows them cuz yoshi did the side stories(or maybe chaps when regokai was absent) there
Whatever happens, we will be behind you. I hope this helps relieves the stress.
