    I don't mind either, but if I had to pick, I'd go with daily.

    Reasons being:
    1. There's a reason for cliffhangers: Anticipation (builds hype)
    2. It grows stale/boring if you read it all in one go (and may be too much information to process)
    3. It's more consistent.
    4. Reading is quicker than translation speed (Readers only read, while translators have to: Read & Translate, corrections (grammatical, flow, etc), research & localize, and more)
    5. Others, that I'm too lazy to think up.

    6. You will forget everything and just read and read to the end. To the end you realize that you have waste a few days or hours reading non stop and the you :sleep:. :whistle:

    I think daily is better.
    There are some reason. Firstly, because I've been always forgetting something(like an old man), mass release will be a pain, coz you need quiet a long time and when it got released, I will forgot some of the character (and I have to recheck?no thx).
    Secondly, no matter how much the chapter released, by the time you realize that you had already read all the chapter, you have to wait again for a loooong time again(and it's fatal if there's a cliffhanger), differently with daily release chapter that will filled up your thirsty of chapter every day.

    When I get to read mass release obviously I feel very happy but I am a pretty fast reader so they run out quickly. Then I have to wait for days to read next chapter. So I think more daily releases are better.

    Daily~
    even if it's short, it's better to have than waiting too long the heat settles, and forgetting what happened the last time.

    Mass releases ftw ... is what i'm tempted to say but this only serves to give me a quick shot of happiness and an even bigger "damn, that's it" backlash, so
    daily releases are better - this way I can have more to look forward to everyday. I dread those days where only 2 or sometimes none of my watched novels get updated in a single day. It also helps with keeping track of what's happening in the novel. If you're like me who watches 40+ novels from all over the place, you're bound to forget quite a lot of things (especially for those series that take forever to update). So unless the mass updates happen every 2 weeks (which is unlikely) or the novel which is getting mass updated is VERY memorable (or at least isnt too cookie cutter and has distinguishable names (lord knows how many jiang chens and jiang chengs i have to keep track of lol)), then i would prefer daily releases. Please :)

    I think it really depends on how much chapters a week were getting. If its a little bit then I would probably want a mass release but if its a lot i rather I have daily chapters and wait for them to pile up to a Volume so I can read it later

    Weekly mass release would be great so I can focus more in the story. I'm currently reading so much novels that sometimes I get the stories mixed up especially when I read different daily chapters from various novels. Besides it's more engrossing to read many chapters together and you can follow the story better.

    Completely depends on the novel. Some I prefer to read as soon as the release is available, and others I prefer to let chapters build up before I read them. I think letting them build up can be better with slower genres like SoL, or novels which have complicated premises, technology, or terminology, because explanations/information can often fill up a lot of a chapter and you really feel a need for some kind of continuation after you have processed a whole lot of information. You want to see what you've just read actually applied.

    Most wuxia/xianxia is better for releasing as soon as it's available, because most of the time things happen quite quickly and the action isn't too sporadic. There isn't too many things which really need in depth explaining either. You do kind of notice it with some slower arcs though, it tends to feel a little stale, but it's still better than releasing it all at once, because generally it's more about the actual writing, not the pacing.
