The story wasn't being updated all the time for a whole year! There were some breaks - I had to stop for my exams, and there were other breaks after certain parts of the story were finished and in between some of the updates, So there wasn't constantly updates.
But even with the breaks, the updates weren't short! Most of them were between 4K to 5K words long, So they were pretty long updates.
I'll try to update the story more quickly, but it's kind of hard! The story needs a little break after each update so I can think about what should happen next.
Rushing through it might not work as well! I'm aiming to keep the pace reasonable, even if I can't do super frequent updates.
