《ATL: Stories from the Retrofuture》Next story preview: Chocolate Insomnia
Advertisement
Heya, it's almost time for the next ATL story, Chocolate Insomnia. I've changed the cover to reflect the new mood that Chocolate Insomnia will give off, and I hope you're excited for a chapter quite different from what has come before it. Check the new ATL cover out before the full-size version comes with Chapter 1 later this week.
However, I've got to ask: how are you enjoying/not enjoying the current chapter release schedule? On the advice of someone else, I started releasing chapters two at a time, twice a day, but only two or three times a week. It means that the story sometimes goes five or more days without an update, like right now. While this strategy apparently is helpful to getting the story shown on the front page more often and getting new people to see and check out the story, I'm not sure it's been particularly good to the people who may be serially reading as each chapter comes out! I have no idea!
I haven't lost any followers yet, though, so maybe this doesn't actually matter. But I wanted to ask about it just in case: What kind of update schedule would you prefer to see here on Royal Road? How do you read ATL, and what's the best way for me to post it that'll keep you excited for each new release? Three or four updates a week, one at a time? The current two-a-day-twice-a-week method? Once a month, dump a huge chunk of chapters in a 3-4 day period? Please let me know what you think.

When Samantha receives a quest notification to become a cultivator herself, she goes against her family’s wishes and leaves the relative safety of her town to complete it.
