I Need Your Help!
Added 2023-09-09 19:36:37 +0000 UTCHello, readers! I have a problem.
Backstory to the problem: I had 53 chapters of backlog when I launched MGU on RR and Patreon. I've managed to write through chapter 65 (66 today), but I'm going to need to start cutting down on my posting to keep ahead. I can pretty consistently write 8k to 10k words of this story a week, which right now adds up to 4 or 5 chapters.
So, would you prefer four-to-five-thousand-word posts (about 2 current chapters each) on Monday/Thursday? Or would you prefer two-thousand-word posts (1 current chapter each) on Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday? I'm comfortable with doing either one, so it's really up to reader preference.
Either way, my current plan is to at the very least maintain my 8/20 chapter buffer ahead of Royal Road and, ideally, to gradually build both of those buffers up. I also will be staying daily until next Friday.
Please vote so I know what you'd prefer, or comment if there's another realistic posting schedule you think would be better!

My current plan is to do 3 or 4/week 2k chapters on Royal Road, depending on what's sustainable. I'm mostly wondering how you'd prefer to consume chapters - if it'd be better to have larger, less frequent chunks or smaller, more frequent chunks.
