With the feedback I've gotten, I'll be adjusting the current Book 3, Chapter One to be Book 2, Chapter 21.  This will not affect posting schedule - chapters will go up on the 3rd and the 6th as usual.

Sweet!

Good choice. Sticking to 20-chap books is fine, but not when you plot it out to end like you did. It says a lot that you’re willing to walk that back after receiving feedback. Kudos!

Thank you. Well done on reconsidering. It will likely improve your book income over time changing that. Greatly appreciate and enjoy your stories and wanting you to succeed, so I can continue to enjoy them. Keep up the great work :)

I've found the best authors to always be the ones that are good at receiving criticism. Your fast response and understanding of everything has been really impressive. Still can't wait to see where this story goes.

I have to agree, the story has been and remains a delight to read, but for a book ending with chapter 20 is kind of like the end of the empire strikes back except if they did not even finish/get to the show-down between Luke and Vader but left that for the next movie ^^;

Great choice. Still loving the story and now you can cut it at a proper cliff hanger after resolving this crisis (and of course introducing a new one!)

With how big everything was rolling up to be, I don't know how much 5% more can change this cliffhanger. Emotionally I know people felt like chapter 20 should have, could have, resolved all the converging threads. Right now they're hoping chapter 21 will do the same. However it goes, I'll see y'all in the book reviews for book 2. I don't anticipate many happy readers.

I gotta ask, does it affect us patrons if the author ends their book at chpt 20 versus the end of the arc? They are still gonna be uploading chapters around the same time and I didn't see anything saying there would be a break in between books

I think it’s fine to leave the book on a cliff hanger but I think it shouldn’t of been right before the operations, it should of been when Lucy was originally kidnapped but I suppose if you ended it there the story would of been extra short

Right when the MC hung up the phone would have been a perfect ending to the book. But yes, it would have been a bit short.

I think you took the wrong conclusion from the 20 chapter book pledge; it should be about having a book resolve itself within 20 chapters, not just arbitrarily ending the book once it's 20 chapters long. One will prevent "sprawling" and create a tighter narrative, and the other just increases the number of books your "sprawling" plot takes place over. If you end the book here and the next one picks up exactly where it left off, with the same goals and plot, how does dividing it into seperate books help reign in the story from meandering? It just changes the header on the page. You're putting the cart before the horse, or making a surface level change rather than adjusting the actual story, or something. A book should tell a story, stories have beginnings, middles, and ends. This book doesn't have an end. Tell a story. Sorry rant over I literally had a dream about different climatic potential endings to book 2, which was weird enough I decided to write this comment.
