Announcement.
Added 2022-04-03 19:43:30 +0000 UTCI don't know how exactly to construct this message. It's like past 1 am here, and I've got an exam later that I've barely studied for (but this is more so because I'm fed up with my university).
To my surprise, this Patreon and the blog have already accumulated a 230-chapter gap over the course of a year, so I was thinking of stopping the daily updates and downgrading to a weekday-only posting. That's 20-22 chapters from the original 30-31 monthly.
Those who have subscribed for a while may remember me bringing up burnout sometime last year. Frankly, it has never left me, but it's not like I want to give up on translating this series either. And that's because of three reasons: 1) I started with the intention of eventually catching up to the raws, currently at 800-ish updating every two days, and I want to uphold that goal. 2) I've grown pretty attached to the series ever since I started translating the manga for a scanlation group 2(?) years ago. 3) This Patreon is my only source of 'stable' allowance (and some occasional gigs) while being a full-time student. I graduate next year, though.
Of course, this being all too sudden, I won't implement it right away. It'll be effective from the 16th. In the meantime, I'll strive to make up for the days I've missed since I'll have some time off starting this Tuesday. It'd do my mental health a huge favor by having at least the weekends off, if it's alright with you guys. Nevertheless, I won't hold it against anyone for unsubscribing. If anything, I'm surprised and thankful you're all still here even after the irregular updates over the past 2-3 weeks.
That is all. ^^;
5/4: I forgot to mention that I will also be reducing the tier price from 15 to 12USD monthly in accordance with the decrease in the frequency of posting. Tiers 4 and below will be removed. As for the price change, I'm gonna have to either; remove all active patrons from the tier or make a new tier and disable the current one since Patreon doesn't let me change the price when there are people subbed to it :(

yes, of course! thank you for pointing that out. fatigue from the day has made me forget to include that bit. i do also plan to cancel the rest of the tiers and reduce the sub price to 12 USD. hopefully, that's a more acceptable price? i shall update the post with this information, thank you again :)

2022-04-03 22:08:00 +0000 UTCI think everyone can understand burnout, you're human, you have your life and translation and editing is never easy. That said i hope you look at revising the pricings for tiers in accordance with the rate of releasing of the future content (might even be reasonable to scale down release to once every two days with that for example) otherwise tbh it it's like a one sided loss for us. for me I'll stick around for the meantime because i feel like reading this is a good 10 minutes break to my routine especially when I'm at uni/work so the change doesn't hugely impact me but i hope you see where I'm coming from
