    I am a sincere and kind gentleman on NUF, though jokes aren't beyond me. This quote of me is 100% sincere.

    Then how about when in nu there is double release of same chapter? Previously it's EER where one of the chapter get additional letter after chap number like 795i and not long after that chap 795 is also released ? Is that happen because of translator mistakes or it's a mistakes from NU BOT program?

    Thanks for the link, I like to read lightnovels on my kindle and often times can't find a epub version, and have to search and search, so thanks for the help.

    This has probably already been answered in a countless number of posts, but I am just wondering...
    What happens when a chapter is updated on the translator's site, but does not appear on NU for over half an hour?
    ie - The Nine Cauldrons 423 has been up for quite a while, but has not been updated on NU.
    Is there a place where we can submit such discoveries without overloading the system?

    either 1, wiki's chapter or 2, aggregator's link/site

    p.s : that was 8 months old post you quoted, btw >.>

    http://www.novelupdates.com/add-release/
    manual submission

    sometimes it was not auto-added due to un-tagged post (or sometimes, miss-tagged), hence it does not appear in translator's rss feed (yet), or the if it has, the bot couldn't recognize it, so it sends to the manual queue.

    as for manual queue, it will depends on whether there are any mods online (@ nu, not @ nuf) to approve it

    I added three new chapters for "He's the Legendary Guard, Isn't He?" but I don't see it updated on NU.
    Is there a way to see if it's still pending or if it's been denied?

    Thanks!

    Can I get a link to your website? I'll add it for you since I don't see the releases at all.

    I'm just curious, is there a reason or rule against including works that are released by the companies that license them?

    Example. Soro used to do Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatte Iru Darou ka, they stopped after it was licensed and the official release was caught up to their last point. So the "new group" would be YenPress...

    If it's a question of confusing readers with blog news posts... simply indicate it as such?
