    So I started reading chapter 191 and onward but the translation campared to all of the previous chapters is really lacking. There are parts where I can't figure out what it is saying, and the terms for thing have changed like 3 times in 7 chapters. What's happening to it?

    Don't mean to sound ungrateful for the translation

    Nope.... Unless the translator decided to search for new hosting site like Ash and Ares did.

    yes from ch 1
    yeah might take a while to get back to speed though x__x
    Yeah although we are going to be a lot more consistent in our translations this time. Should be faster because Sheryl and I did the first 100 chapters before someone took over our project although Sheryl's TLing speed directly corresponds to her desperateness for money xD

    Can you clear up my confusion...when you say getting it redone, is it getting re-translated or re-edited?

    I heard the site was shutting down and that's why so many novels mass dumped their stockpiled translations.

    Was that not true?

    Shutting down because the guy who owns the site (aka the man who actually pays TLs and editors) either sold it to qidian or just left. All I know is that no more money is being given out (hence TLs no longer working) and that some novels are being offered contracts with qidian (china reading/cloud something holdings group)
