This isn't a PR blog (more my personal blog!), but I can answer your question since I've been handling the recent releases while everyone else's been busy. :3;;
We have a lot more translations for LSK done, so it's a matter of proofreading them and polishing them to catch any errors or mistranslations each month. That means releases for LSK will be very regular. As for Half Prince, we've pretty much come to the very end of our store of chapters and don't have everything translated yet. It can take up to two months (or more) for chapters to go through the proofreading and editing process, so the release schedule had to be slowed down to make sure we don't have months without any HP chapters to post. It's a matter of...if you get two HP chapters this month, that means you might not get any next month, so we're spreading them out a bit more to prevent the second scenario, and to allow translators to finish translating the next few chapters. I'm biting my nails over here with how close we're cutting it, but don't worry, there are people working on all of the remaining chapters. (They just might not be very fast, but it will get done.)
Also, we're hoping not to have any gaps when we post the sequel of HP after volume 8... and well, the whole sequel still needs to be translated and proofread. We need some more buffer time for that.
PR's old release pace was round 3 chapters a month between the two series though, so this is already an accelerated pace from before. =P Next month, we'll most likely have only one HP chapter again. The chapters after that simply aren't ready. We don't want to have any months without a single HP chapter. It could change depending on how fast proofreaders are once we finally receive the translations for the last few chapters, but... with how school has started for many, I don't think our pace will be any quicker... I'm more afraid people will vanish for weeks on end!
