I can accept him being sick, we all get sick. Sometimes even for months. But I would like atleast an OFFICIAL statement from Qidian or the translator himself that he is sick. Not 1 short almost non explaining comment from another translator... 'translator is sick' not even a 'sorry guys the TL is sick right now' just a 'translator is sick' I support qidian, but do not like the mentality that's i am seeing happening with Ultimate Scheming System, and hope for some improvement in this.
Requesting new Translater for: Ultimate scheming system
If he continues this in March, Qidian will consider switching translators. Translators are human after all, so it's understandable things crop up. Some leeway is given to translators on this aspect.
Also, translators aren't paid a monthly wage, but paid by chapter. So by not translating any chapters, he is only affecting his own salary and also jeopardizes his authorization to translate the novel.

CKtalon Sure, translators are human, but that still is no excuse for not informing us for weeks... No one would make a scene if the translator would just give us a reason for his absence. I would even be ok if he is a university student and has to study for his exams or something...
Also, to prevent things like this from happening, i think Qidian should implement a buffer rule. For example it could be a rule for translators to keep atleast 2 weeks worth of chapters in buffer. The chapters can be released automatically from the buffer. So even if translator were to become really sick or goes to a vacation or has to study for exams, the release won't stop. Normally this should be common sense, but some translators just translate day to day for some reason. The moment something unexpected comes up the chapter release stops because of this...
NO TO PREMIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES TO HUMAN RIGHTS
PLZ NO PREMIUM !!!!!!
CKtalon That kind of means that the release rate they chose is above their ability... When that happens, they should just write a message at the end of the latest chapter explaining why they need to decrease the release rate to keep consistency in the future, people will understand.
Also some translators start the novels with insane release rates to attract more readers while relying on their buffers, but then are forced to decrease it once they run out of the buffer and start day to day translation. It's just bad planning on their part...

CKtalon well sir, you know he is sick. Why qidian wont announce it? Or put hiatus notice so we know he is sick and we pray for him. Not with silence treatment like this, him and qidian.
AuxiliralyMAx Companies typically do not announce to the world that their contractors are sick or stuff like that. They also do not wish to add it in the Translator's Thoughts on behalf of the translator. And clearly, the translator doesn't care.
Anyway, the translator will be switched also.
AuxiliralyMAx They have a right to stay silent, anythin they say may be used against them.)

Still nothing -.-. I remember when this novel was hugely popular and now its in the trash because of a retarded translator
At this point this whole deal is just one big joke.
At least declare a hiatus or something instead of brick-walling people off.
!!!!!
What is stupid is that it seems Qidian themselves honestly do not read these forums... Like never seen a response from them on an issue that we bring up like this.
