Battlemage Rewrite - What do my patrons think? (Please read and vote!) (Patreon)

Hello everyone! So, my most recent public posting of Battlemage has received quite a bit of push back for the Spice arc. Some of the complaints I can understand, others not so much. I have had a few complaints on here as well, as the Spice arc has unfolded, both in comments and in PM, enough so that I believe it needs addressing.

There are two options here really. The first is that I ignore the complaints and keep posting. The Spice arc is nearly complete for board members, but for everyone else there are a handful of chapters left. The second option is a rewrite. This could be anything from shortening and "Fixing" the complaints I've received both from the public and my patrons, to a complete deletion and shifting of the story. Vaz would still be included, but the entire story would be shifted, if I go that way.

The problem is that the second option comes with a significant time investment, enough that I would have to shift some things around. At minimum I would have to cancel next months chapters of Last Resort as well as any chapters until I was finished rewriting. That means no new post Monday, Wednesday, Friday and potentially the next Monday as well. I could probably finish it before I am going on vacation, but it would be close enough that I would feel uncomfortable promising/assuring you of that.

So, that's where I am at. I would appreciate any comment, though please leave any long winded critiques of the Spice arc out, at this point I've heard all if it and would just like to focus on how far I should go to fix it, or if I should at all.
