They're all webtoons we don't scanlate. But, to answer your question, the process of translation -->proofing --> cleaning --> typesetting --> QCing takes a lot of time. These people also do it for no pay at all. They sacrifice their own private time for the oversea audience.

I know some people are really amazingly fast and consistent. (orange marmalade :shock:) But, not everyone can do that.

Like eseul said, it takes time for people to translate and edit the webtoons, so people don't really like it when you ask "hey when's the next chapter coming out." But, I think it's okay to ask if they haven't finished a new chapter in over a month. Webtoon live isn't the team who's working on any of the projects you have listed though, so here's a list:

Tower of God is transedited by The Company. Website here: http://www.thcmpny.com/
Trace 1.5 is transedited by Death Toll. Website here: http://www.deathtollscans.net/
Dr. Frost is transedited by The Company.
Crepuscule is transedited by Easy Going Scans. Website here: http://egscans.com/


Again, I'd advise against asking about new chapters if they haven't taken at least a month.

Ahh. For that, the translator Moonlight_Rabbit is having some trouble with uni work. We've been waiting for him.

It's understandable people enjoy the series but there's no need to tell the staff these kinds of things, they're rushing themselves.
And besides, they don't owe you guys anything, they're doing it on their own time for you guys. If a chapter isn't coming out as fast as you'd like it, then just sit back and be patient and know that they're doing the best they can. It's not as if they're purposely not releasing the chapter to spite you, it's because there isn't enough staff or everyone is too busy to get to it on time. Being asked time and time again, 'wheres the new chapter' is definitely not something a scanlator is happy to see. Just because a chapter has been released weekly doesn't mean it always can be, there will be delays time and time again.
And some people really need to look at credit pages and see what group is doing what project. It's really not that hard to do, it's right there on the chapters. Staring you in the face.
I'm not trying to diss anybody, really. I'm just stating some obvious facts and asking people to have some courtesy towards the people working tooth and nail to bring you releases.

I Agree with you and i'am truly sorry if i have offended any1 with that post. I must have been out of my mind while posting it and one again i would like to ask sorry. and i wasn't asking them to release the chapter but just to post a comment that it might be delayed so that the readers can breathe a sigh of relief don't you agree

you can read crepuscule on mangareader up to chap 52 in english. but it is not in the scrolling web comic format. it has been edited to a regular manga layout.the original korean release is up to chapter 63, so the scan group is only about 10 chapters behind the author. But you have to remember most of these sites like webtoons only host the comics. they don't do any of the scantalating. you need to go to the subbing groups websites to get the most up to date information on releases. most groups have a policy that they will delay releases if they are bothered by "when is the next chapter coming out?" questions. also if the sites that hosts their translations does not follow their(the subbers) requirements for displaying their work(like removing credit pages or releasing before the date specified) they may stop uploading to that particular site.also some groups stop subbing when a comic has been licensed in english or if they can't get anyone to translate for them. some translators only want to work on the projects they personally want to read. you'd be better off volunteering to help them or at least donate money so they can buy the manwha/manga to translate it, pay for their website costs, and the editing software. they have to have someone in that country(s. korea/japan) buy the manwha/manga, scan it into their computer, other's have to translate the text, others have to erase the original text and sound effects which may require re-drawing parts of the artwork, then others have to type in the translated text. then it has to be proofread and checked to make sure it looks like the original, before it can be uploaded for your viewing pleasure. all of this is done by volunteers who are usually full-time students. may is when schools hold final exams and graduation time in the west. in the east the school year has just started up again. plus people have jobs and family life they have to attend to. even if they say they will release weekly or even monthly, it all depends on what the translators real life schedule is. nobody is going to risk flunking out of school or getting fired from work, just to translate comic books. especially when they are doing it for free. but you can always learn korean so you can read it in the original as soon as the author releases it.usually once school is out for summer break, the releases are a bit faster. :)
