Why is there so much inconsistency with the manga uploads?

I've been using this forum for years, but never really felt the need to make an account. But the inconsistency with the uploads is a bit annoying. I don't always have access to a computer, so if the manga chapter isn't posted at a time I can see it, I usually end up missing it for that week.

Anyway, does anyone know why there isn't a set time at which it's posted? Sometimes it's Tuesday afternoon, sometime's it's Wendesday afternoon, sometimes they just skip it all together. Why?

If they skip, it means the author went on break or the magazine is on break. Which is the case this week. The entire manga of wsj is on break and the next issue resumes next week. And the consistency of the scans is on the scanlator's side. How fast they can get someone in Japan to scan each sheet for them and how fast they can clean, translate, and touch up the chapter.

Because people have lives and those that scanlate the manga do it as a hobby. They don't have an obligation to stick to a specific time and the time of the availability of the scans varies from issue to issue.

More importantly, how did you resist making an account ? o_o
I don't know, mate. I just didn't feel the need to. I would mostly just read the mangas and leave. I wish I could just read them on my phone, but I have a basic crappy phone. But more importantly, I don't have constant access to a computer to where I can post even semi frequently. After today, I might not have access for another week or 2.

Aren't you getting free manga? Be appreciative not every gets too read it for free. You wasted your time making an account
Could of used this time to actually answer the question,but okay lol
It is not your business how they read the manga nor is it your concern whether they complain (Which this person wasn't doing anyway) about the manga.

OT:It is golden week in Japan so there is not chapter this week.
Golden week is when just about the whole country takes off for two weeks.
It might seem like a lot,but the Japanese are very work oriented so this is there only major break for a very long time.
