They did better than that. Some brave and diligent soul translated the Chapters 8 and 9 of Volume 10 into Chinese already. This, of course, puts me in the quandary of whether to go for it or not, since Volume 9 has been stalled by another translator.
Translators are entitled to post whatever chapters they've translated.v-die wrote:]Honestly, those incomplete chapters should never have been posted. The only acceptable skip of chapters is like in Volume 5 that consists of sidestories.

Yes, this is just an inconvenience, but I'm going to complain nonetheless since I'd prefer less frequent updates, but at least following the chapter order.
Probably it's done buy translators who dropped translation due to reader offenses, and now will randomly translate chapters they like =(Ulrick wrote: Anyway, does anyone know why the chinese translated those chapters before the chapters 4,5,6?
So people, be patient, translators work as fast as they can at a moment, don't forget it is summer (at least in north part of Earth), "Vacation mode" ON for most people Actually, there is something lost - time/effort/work spent on translating chapter 7 instead of chapter 4, for instance. I'm not reading those new chapters because for all I know they will generate confusion and spoil me in the process, but it really is a little unnerving to see, say, an update in the app that says "volume 10 chapter 10" when I'm waiting for "volume 9 chapter 4".TheLaG wrote:Ulrick wrote:Anyway, If people want to read sequently, nobody forcing them to read all those chapters, for people like me (who readed summary and other spoilers), it's just replacing small puzzle with full detailed picture in it's place, nothing gained, nothing lost
As previously mentioned, complaining about this is assuming that the available translators even have the chapters in question, which makes the complaint totally worthless if they don't. In comparison, I'd rather have SOME new translated content versus NO new translated content from translators getting fed up with people whining about circumstances that they can't control (like the unpredictability of the Chinese translation for Dreyakis, who has a reputation for translating really quickly).v-die wrote:This.
