    Hi,
    I would like to know from you, the readers, whether you prefer a mass release or more daily chapters for a translated novel.
    Please add the reason why you prefer it, since I will use this feedback for my novels.
    Thanks.
    Edit: To be more precise, would you like 3 chapters per week and mass release of 20 chapter after 2 months or 5 chapters per week for 2 months.

    A consistent release of chapters that will catch up or match the speed at which the author releases them. I want the translation to have the possibility of being completed within my lifetime.

    Well, it depends really, If there is an arc that may or may not have a lot of cliff hangers. Best to do mass releases as to prevent those cliff hangers. But if the current arc is not really that all exciting or just some character building, then it's better to do daily releases.

    Daily. I can go through mass releases in an hour or two on average. Unless it's like twenty or more.

    For daily, at least I know I can always read a chapter every day. If it's a mass release then you might wait for a long time for another chapter

    Daily releases are better.
    Mass releases are simply too unreliable. I might even forget what happens in some novels.

    Hahaha, 100% of votes for daily so far.

    Personally, I like daily releases more because it has a sense of consistency...As long as I know there will be a chapter tomorrow(or the day after, if there is like a sunday break or whatever) then its honestly fine, and in some cases better, because if its a mass release, I might prioritize reading the novel instead of doing some other rather important things like assignments or work/whatever stuffs....its not really the best habit of mine, but when I like a book as much, sometimes I just have to indulge :p

    If there is a mass release I would like. . . it would have to be 50 or more. . .cause then it would take me a day or two, since I have other things to read too. . .

    Daily, although mass releases are nice, they tend to be easy to go through in a couple of hours.

    I like daily releases more, because it gives the impression of reliability, you know you'll get a chapter tommorow instead of sometime in the future.

    Daily releases better. Some people did a study, binge reading/watching tend to make people stop thinking so they only remember pretty much the beginning and the end but nothing else in the middle. So basically no detail can be recalled.

    Any form of regularity is good, really... Such as weekly chapters, 2 chapters per day but only during weekends, monthly, etc. Sporadic releases make it hard to get into a story.

    Mass releases would hurt the site. If one relies on ads to make profit, daily releases would be better.
