@unknownmat if you want another example the fan translations of a certain magical index were at one point being relatively consistently released around a month after the volume released although I haven't followed them in a while (part of the series has also been officially translated now but the official translations are 30+ volumes behind). The author of a certain magical index was also keeping a similar pace. They have slowed down last I checked but for several years they were writing a light novel volume every month or so (split across multiple series) and their editor has started in interviews that they keep having to ask the author to slow down after the author does things like show up to meetings to set a deadline for the next volume with drafts of the next two. All of this happened before AI was a thing.
