Thanks for keeping going with the translation. I wish the publisher didn’t split the chapters into so many parts like this though.
In the end, it comes down to a group's choice in releasing it in the same manner. A group is prohibited from dividing up a chapter that was not released as divided, or from "arbitrarily combine several chapters into a single release." They're not prevented from recombining what was divided.
While reading a whole chapter all at once will always make for a better experience, there is reasoning behind the practice. It's just that a series like this exaggerates the flaws, when there is effectively 9 pages of content in the release. And I won't fault KDT for not typesetting the actual meat of page 1 (nor are they a group, frankly, that I would expect it of), but for those that can't read Japanese, it doesn't have much purpose.
My own personal feelings are that if a split chapter doesn't produce 14~16 pages by itself, it should probably be held back to release the chapter in full.
