Chapter Numbering?

  • Keep current two-way number system (numbers misalign on RR and Patreon) 0
  • Have a second round of the same-numbered chapters to catch up (the fastest way to fix the problem) 13
  • Make a gigantic 5-chapters' worth drop and drop it all in one chapter (takes a while because i have to write 5 chapters' worth at once) 2
  • Other (propose a solution below) 1

Edit: numbering should be fixed now!

It's been brought to my attention that the current numbering system is confusing new Patrons. As is, I use the original chapter numbers as I broke up the chapters--aka the chapter numbers my manuscript has. On RR, the numbering is five chapters behind as I had to compress my release schedule for the writathon to meet the goal within the given chapters.

This happened due to happenstance; I had the chapters already uploaded here when I had to compress them to meet the writathon goal. Since then, I've followed this two-ways numbering pattern, because I couldn't figure out a good way to fix it. My compromise (as I'm sure some of you have noticed) is to title the chapters the same thing.

Should I change the numbering to match RR, even though this moves the chapters back by five & may be confusing to longterm Patrons? I.E., there will be a second chapter 100, 102, 103, etc. Or should I continue doing what I've been doing, even though this means you have to match text titles rather than numbers?

Please add more numbers. Just name a random number for each chapter. It'll be great! Chapter 29 followed by chapter 128 followed by chapter 37 etc
