Discussion Do you guys read on-going translation novels on daily basis?

I for e.g can't handle cliffhanger if a translation speed of a particular novel is really good i mean daily chapters, i would read them after every 5 days for e.g i would stop reading a novel when i hit chapter 239 and then 5 days later, i would resume my reading and stop again at 244 then wait for 5 chapters again, as it also becomes really easy to remember at what chapter i have left it off.

-Usually an going battle or small arcs most of the time ends with in 5 chapters frame so for me reading them in one go rather than waiting doesn't destroy the flow for me too. Especially when the on-going arc sucks like your typical auction arc which lasts forever!

 

All translated novels I read (in reality, only a couple of novels) update only once every week/10 days, so there's no luxury of stockpiling, not unless I want to go without reading materials for a month or more.

 

Yes. When every chapter ends on a cliffhanger, it doesn't matter if you save up.

 

Tales of demon and gods where author releases just one chapter every month. This was one of the first novel i have read on wuxia but unfortunately i had to drop because one month wait is too long. After every month, i keep on forgetting the name of the characters or the arc they are currently on or what they are doing!

 

At first I chose completed novels but there's not many good completed novels and I've devoured all the good ones already so I started reading on going translations too.
But, I always chose novels that are completed by the author and doesn't have thousands of chapters. At least when I get impatient with the translation I could have an option to MTL the raws.

 

I enjoy hourly chapters

 

I tend to read novels chapter-by-chapter as they are released. I find that reading like this gives me something to look forwards to on a daily basis (since i'm usually reading more than 1 story at once, at least one of the stories releases a chapter). Although, I tend to drop stories that only release like once a month (though, sometimes I do end up picking these stories back up again by rereading from the beginning). Like you said, by the time the next chapter is out, you've already somewhat forgotten what's going on in the story.

 

I straight up close the window when i see novel with 4k plus chapters and it still on-going both from author and the translator

 

100-500 CHAPTERS? How do you still remember the names of the characters after that long unless you have a really good memory. I forget the name of the characters hell even the arc if i stop reading a novel for a month!

 

They just start popping up in my brain when I read few lines of a new chapter~
Idk why but it helps me remember them~

 

Man, you guys are lucky for having such good memorization. I wish i could put a novel on hold especially when during a certain point of a story where MC loses his cultivation or other stuff and takes forever to get back on top again, the only thing that helps me is wikipedia the names of the characters which helps me remember who they are it is only when there ain't any wikipedia for the novel that situation gets pretty messed up for me!

 

When you’ve read a thousands and thousands of chapter worth of content switching between various books, you start developing a sort of skill to remembering certain very important details about either the characters if they’re interesting enough or the story. It’s less remembering the characters names and more about what their role is in the story.

 

Yes, but only Cultivation chat group. I usually prefer to stack about 20-30 chapters before reading them

 

That is true in the most case, but it is really annoying when a character who has disappeared into the background for god knows how many chapters and suddenly makes an appearance and you don't remember who he/she is!

 

yes, because I don't like cliffhangers I only read one ongoing novel right now, and I stopped reading it now and waiting for it to finish

 

For me, it depends on how interesting the current arc is + translation speed.

If I really like the arc, then I read whenever there are new chapters. And when I find it a bit boring or slow, I would stockpile it to finish that arc in one go.

But, lets say, the current arc is super interesting but the translation speed is too slow, then I mtl the raws.

 

A made a similar thread a couple of weeks ago and I found out that I was pretty much the only person (at least among the answers) that don't read any ongoing, I just read completed novels and completed translations. I do look for and save ongoing novels to read later, however I wait until they are completely finished before dive in.

 

Tbh, I don't read much these days, so I don't keep up with anything... Back when I read more, I used to try keeping up with chapters as they were released though.

Nowadays, I just have a humongous stockpile of novels that I need to catch up to, and I catch up on whims. Pretty much the only one I still try to stay up to date with is Kenkyo.
