Okay this is the problem:

Now, the normal contests begin in 22:35 (UTC +8), many chinese users like me have to stay up to 11:30.

I don't wanna stay up, so I do the contests when they are before 21:30. But half of them are kind weird so I got negative delta.

When I stay up, I am too tired to do the problems.

So I always cannot get my rating up to Specialist, even through I can get 1500 perf in Atcoder Beginner Contest and 1200 perf in Atcoder Regular Contest.

At the end I wish the contest holders:

plz, make more contests that do not begins at 22:35. (Also for some american friends who can't get up earlier.)

Skill issue bruh. If you're strong enough you won't feel that way.

Also for some american friends who can't get up earlier.

Sorry, but the time here in Hillsboro, USA is 7:35 am, if you moved the time forward it will just get worse for us. You cannot satisfy everyone.

make more contests that do not begins at 22:35.

Holy geez, the time the contest is held is mostly not the contest holder's decision, but rather the coordinator's. Most of the coordinators are from Russia/Ukraine/Western Europe, so what do you expect?

So I always cannot get my rating up to Specialist, even through I can get 1500 perf in Atcoder Beginner Contest and 1200 perf in Atcoder Regular Contest.

That's skill issue again. If you can get to Specialist when you stayed up late (and let's say you can only show 60% of your strength), you definitely have expert level in real life. Stop crying please. Besides, you can't get stable 1500 perf in ABCs (according to this). You got one 1100, one 1200, one 1300, one 1400, that's all. And the highest perf you get in ARCs is 889, so where's the 1200?

To sum up, just stop crying and just improve your skills.
