Revising chapters (Patreon)

Going back and reading some of my stuff, I'm seeing some issues that might crop up in the future or things I plainly don't like. The part where Cedric suddenly gets horny for dragon was especially jarring. I'm going to be cutting out that part as well as whatever else is bugging me.

I didn't want to do this because it'll inevitably result in confusion for people who didn't pick up on the changes, or as I move toward future chapters, but the alternative is having a story full of problems.

It's a bit demoralizing because the issue is bigger than I expected... the title is a good example of that. It's going to be really, really difficult for Cedric to bang Islanzadi in a believable way. The more I think about it, the more I realize I wrote myself into a corner before even starting the story and how stupid that was.

So I might have to change the title as well. To be clear, this isn't anything like a rewrite. I don't do rewrites anyway. Just cutting out and adding a few things to older chapters without changing the story too much.

An issue some people brought up is it feeling like the story is being railroaded (it was a criticism on SubscribeStar as well) and I agree. As the author, I'd prefer to have more freedom than less, and clearly setting up the story progression goes against that.

We're still going the Arya route like I said in a past comment, but after that Cedric will be going his own way. Between whatever editing I decide to do, I'll still have a new chapter today.
