Hi guys. Tao here.

So, I'm currently working on Chapter 7 of the book. However, to save my hands, I've been switching between typing and dictating. The dictation software is having issues since the System Apocalypse uses a lot of weird names, and thus accuracy has dropped a lot. Just like A Thousand Li in the beginning. I expect that it'll get better in a few tens of thousands of words but until then, some of the chapters are just weird.

Normally, I'd go edit the chapters before getting them published but:

1) Chapter 1 goes up tomorrow for Master Class people

2) I'm running the flu (I have been sleeping half the day for the last 2-3 days)

3) When I'm not sleeping, I've been trying to write and take care of the monster who is stuck home.

Because of that, we have a few options.

1) Release chapters on schedule. You might have to live with bad / hard to read sentences because of the dictating. It won't be all of it, but there will be portions that make no sense. 

2) Delay about a week and let me catch up with editing chapters. If that's the case, we'll mass-release as fast as I can edit so that things aren't slowed down. But I'd like to still write, because I'm on a roll and going back and editing kills the flow

Sorry about this. I wish I had better news, but I'm losing a ton of time to sickness and the kid (and more last week getting editing of First War done).

Let me know your thoughts. Especially for Master Class and above readers.

I'm only at advanced prestige but I'd say just take a break for a week and don't even worry about mass-releasing once you feel better, just release as normal so you don't mess up your flow and routine. You already post chapter twice a week which is more than most and these are difficult times without even being sick so don't worry, I daresay everyone will understand :)

I concur. However, if it makes you feel bad or you feel like you're shorting the master class then mass post the chapters when they are ready and set the restrictions for all chapters released at that time to follow the normal release delays. (I.e. you release 7 chapters at once and master class would have access to all seven. Few days later you release a normal chapter and open the first 7 to advanced prestige members. And so on until the schedule is fixed. Then again I'm not at all familiar with the author side of patreon so take this as an idea? Lol P.s. I'm only advanced class sadly lol but I'd gladly wait longer so that you can stay healthy and don't feel guilty

I would take your time and do what you feel is best. Feel better!
