    4chapter? I see, I became weak. lol
    But have you finished a lot of novel already?
    I think so but RT knows Korean already so she's reading it smoothly I guess.
    I don't have a problem reading good quality translation, I can read for 2 to 3 hours without stopping.
    So you stop after your head ache then read again after resting. Or you'll read the next day?
    That's what I usually do now, coz I don't read CN anymore
    I know right? I thought reading will make you smart, but they don't know MTL at that time. XD

    Last one I read was king of gods. Things got interesting at the end of the competition arc. Had to find out what happened. On the downside it killed my interest in the novel for a while so I'm letting it stack up now lol

    Honestly, I don't see much of a difference between a normal translated novel and a machine translated. As long as I understand what they are saying, for me, that's enough. On average I read about 100 chapters a day, if I am free. If not, only 50 chapters.

    I became weak after not reading CN MTL for long,
    My head ache now after reading a chapter or 2.
    Unlike the time I'm into CN I'm also like you guys can read up to 50 to hundred as long as it's readable.

    Na I don't care about the terms as long as I can understand the story, of course I still follow the good translation to understand better but just skin it.

    I had read btth mtl more than 1 year ago till the end.
    I was like you that time addicted to cn's but the 2nd one i choose to mtl was issth and i give up on that after reading like 200 chaps i reach ch 1000 at that time.

    Day 1- 50 chaps
    Days2- 40. Chaps

    Day 5 - 10 chaps


    Day10- 1 chap..., 2 chaps...., 3cha....
    Dammit imma gonna drop. you!

    I've never had a headache from reading, be it mtl or not. It's just that these numbers fit the time I spent reading daily.

    I plan to read TKA but lost interest after the qi and wuxia drama.. I tried to MTL "death mage doesn't want a fourth time" but after reading a chapter my head start aching.. it left at a cliff on light novel bastion so I tried to read in advance.hehe
    Right, after reading a lot of CN your interest in it will wane over time. KR novel is good for me now.xD
    Uhh you have a strong mental resistance..

    2 to 3 chapters on a daily basis ... LOHP
    Novels that have 'arcs' or too many cliffhangers I either check on how long I have to stockpile chapters for the arc to end, or cheat myself pass the cliff to satisfy my curiosity.
    However, sometimes I read way too many if I found an interesting novel that has no real ongoing translation.

    That depends. If there is novel I want to binge MTL, around 20-30 ch/day. As of now, I'm still stacking up chapter (the novel got slower in pacing)

    I used to read either a few tens or a few hundred mtl chapters daily depending on the day , it made my English shittier than it already is so I stopped with stage 3 cancer

    0.

    3 main reasons.
    I respect translators and will wait for them.
    I can read Chinese.
    Fuck MTL.

    The only time I ever read MTL was for books 22-23 of Desolate Era, and after that I couldn't find anything else that made me go crazy waiting for the translations.
    How do you guys read so much MTL? It makes me cringe just thinking about it. Although, the main reason why I don't read MTL is probably the annoying chat window on LNMTL.
