"Compare to fan translation efforts, extrapolate their speed on SAO, Accel World, and Log Horizon to determine when they'd be caught up to where BT has left off. Even though their pace is quicker than back when the Haruhi books were being TL'd, Yen's progress is subjectively slower compared to fans, *because the material is already out there*. I'm not arguing Yen's speed by the bare numbers, but rather the sense of speed by observers. A kind of publisher [special relativity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) if you will." - Chris Charabaruk
