Weekly Release Trial (Patreon)

Alrighty. I honestly didn't expect as many people both on here and RR to either vote that they don't care how long they have to wait or vote for longer chapters but less releases. I thought it'd be way more split between waiting a week and daily releases. Instead, only 5% of you voted for daily whereas 16% ( out of 1,287 voters) voted for daily on RR.

So, here's what I'm going to do.

I feel bad about not releasing as many TTE and EDE chapters this week (partly because I was sick), but I'm going to be done for the week since they're at good stopping points for a an overall chapter. I don't want to release another chapter when it's just going to be the first part of a new one. It's either that or random filler to extend the current overall chapter.

Starting this Monday, I'm going to release one big chapter per day. I'll go in the order of most popular stories via the poll, so:

Monday - The Queen's Hound

Tuesday - Ero Dungeon Evolution

Wednesday - The True Endgame

Thursday - Steel Glory (will actually get equal amounts of love)

Friday - Lazy Dragon Queen (since it's the newest and nobody is specifically pledged for it, though I might end up releasing it earlier but only if I already got one of the other chapters done for a day first)

Once the week is over, I'll go ahead and get your opinions on what you (the $10 tier) think. For you $5 patrons, you're only going to get one normal chapter for each of the big ones at first. But, if I decide to stick with this system and people want me to continue it, then I'll release 4 extra chapters per story for you. What I'll end up doing then is posting 1 big chapter for the 10 tier while releasing 5 smaller chapters for the $5 tier until the $5 tier hits the big chapters. Since one "big" chapter is going to be equal in size to 5 small ones, this should keep things fair.

Now, I'll end up saying this again if I fully switch to this system, but I'll go ahead and say it here as well: you're still going to be getting the same amount of content before but hopefully at a higher quality. It's just that, instead of getting 5 small parts of chapters with cliffhangers and less consistency, you'll be getting one big full chapter a week. So, the $10 tier will still be 4 weeks ahead of the public releases and the $5 tier will still be 2 weeks ahead of the public releases. You're actually probably going to end up getting more pages/words per week now than you have been since I won't be constricted by daily releases and can focus on quality.

In the end, it's going to come down to what you patrons prefer after trying it out for a week. The only reason I'm even able to try this now is because of how successful the Patreon has become. If it means losing patrons because you don't want to wait or don't think waiting a week ends up being worth it, then I'll stick to daily releases. Personally, if it goes as well as I'm hoping it will, the increased quality and more satisfying releases will be worth the wait.

I hope that you all enjoy your weekend!
