    How much I translate in a day?
    Hmm..... about 2000-3000 words a day...... it rarely went faster than this, since I had little time to translate each day.
    I had 4 project:
    Takarakuji 40 oku etc. Average 7000 words finished in 4 days.
    Tenseisha wa Cheat etc. Average Chapters 13000 words finished in 14 days.
    10nen HikiNEET: semidaily average 1000 words.
    A Realist Kingdom etc. Average 8000 words finished in 8 days......

    I accept donation and just like what it said, it completely optional, it wont increase my speed since I'm not a highschool student and hold at least real job. And it mainly just to show my imouto that my translation can generate pocket money (btw she suprised that there are site that translate one chapter for $50 dollars, she's like seriously? you can buy one LN with that!). I dont do sponsored chapters because truthfully my translation sucks, I'm just one guy so the speed is slow as hell, and I did this because I want to read the WN/LN as I translate and share it with others...

    It seems TDG will translate 3 free chapters instead of one! That's a good improvement. The increase seems reasonable now.

    I do on average about two chapters per week, for about 10-11k words per week. How much that turns out per day is something entirely different, since I don't really translate according to a schedule.
