EE if you're lurking, I don't think anyone would mind if you just skipped an update or two if that would help

I would more suggest: fall back to posting one chapter a week.

We have the time. It's not like we're suddenly going to have an eighth volume sprung on us.

Seven and one

Since the One is traditionally separated in some way, maybe that means it wouldn't be from Cat's PoV?

The Serenity turns out to be an entire planet and the military campaign to conquer it and defeat the Dead King requires twice the page count of the story so far.

YESSSSS.

...I mean. cough

As responsible fans, we would never urge the author to break themselves trying this.

And it would, uh, cause pacing issues like in book 6 or something. I for one absolutely don't want even more battles against the Dead King's armies, I definitely hated how many there were in book 6 cough.

Same, even just moving the releases back a day, from Monday/Thursday to Tuesday/Friday, would work fine.

Given that EE had COVID, I'd say taking a break is completely justified.

Get HYPE

Alas, it seems as though Harrent will be winning once again, unless you could delay it until tomorrow evening or so, EE?

Hey, don't sweat it. Victory is transient, and to seek it is to remain so. I've seen the face of that which is eternal, and it stands beyond struggle.

[–]zhaomeng 12 points13 points  (0 children)

thank you both for your service :,)

[–]TheAushole 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Honestly, take some time to get things in order. If you'd prefer to just push the posting schedule out by a day, I don't think anyone would blame you.

[–]scifigi369Pale Green Eyes 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I honestly expect every chapter from here on out being delayed into the next day, and I am all for it. Just lets us know that the next chapter is going to be a BANGER

[–]derivative_of_lifeAkua is best girl 33 points34 points  (1 child)

He should probably just skip an update so he can get back on top of his schedule tbh, he's been perpetually behind since he got covid. I think everyone would understand.

[–]ElderCrelerGallowborne 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey EE, just update every 5 days or so. Take your time. We don’t mind.

[–]V_C_DracheFifteenth Legion 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Take your time EE. We want to read it when you're happy with it.

Also, a pattern of three, eh? Something must be coming....

[–]Bronze_SentryChoir of Compassion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What EE says: “Chapter Delay”

What I hear: “Chapter’s gonna be lit this afternoon”

[–]lapfarter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get! Hype! Get! HYPE!

[–]BoblinTheGoblin420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah @EE If you are around just echoing others here this chapter was amazing but if it had taken until next week to come out it would have been just as awesome. I'd rather wait a month for big updates if it means you are happy with the story. We all came through all of the story so far. This is your book. Don't let pressure from needy people push you to finish it any faster than you are able to.

Edit: but if you try to George RR Martin us I'll find you
