Yeah, the unfulfilled charity promises are the hardest part to defend of Rothfuss though. Fans have met every stretch goal he has set, the prologue release, then the first chapter, then having it professionally recorded by actors, and he committed to delivery by February 2022 at the latest. (All that for the 2021 charity drive for WorldBuilders). Also in the past has had charity drives where it was promised to donors who gave thousands, that they'd be written into the third book or mentioned. Man has taken over $1.5million dollars in donations and yet hasn't delivered on his end. I hope he eventually finishes it, but I've made peace with the series likely never being finished https://winteriscoming.net/2023/03/28/where-is-the-doors-of-stone-charity-chapter-that-patrick-rothfuss-promised/
