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...
