We're finally back! That break ended up being a lot longer than I initially realised since I forgot to take into account the two weekends on each end. It's good to be back though.
Also, the author finally fixed his numbering schema, taking into account the chapter he skipped a few months ago. This might be the sign for me to fix up our own chapter numbering, since as you may recall I accidentally skipped the proper chapter 17. That'll take me a while though and will probably mess up the numbering on both these comment pages and on all the aggregator sites too, so it's likely not going to happen particularly soon.
