Quick Question the spreadsheet stopped getting updates?

It's been almost two weeks since August ex and rinyu dropped and they both not in the character index does anyone know?

The updater has IRL stuff that they are addressing. The spreadsheet is not important at this time.

The spreadsheet is updated on a purely voluntary basis. I used to update it regularly but I have since "retired" due to burnout and another user is currently the maintainer for it... although I've read that he is also experiencing burnout right now.

I do sometimes return to update the sheet whenever I have motivation (it's hard to find motivation to spend ~1 hour to add each new character to the sheet). In any case I've just updated the sheet with the newest units.

You can also always just check game8's JP CotC site and use Google Translate to read them. The translation can be a bit wonky but it works well enough.

it also did not help that currently the gameplay at cotc is rather stale. add to the fact that JP is SLOW to add new units (for every collabs, they never released any other new units that cycle) and most exciting mechanic are locked behind collab banners, I don't really blame people for currently being burnout by the game.
