I'd have updated more frequently... [/wistful]

No, seriously. I might have dropped the Self-Actualisation arc, but then again for all I know it's setting up something Awesome later, so maybe it's necessary.

In line with this, I'd have it update more regularly. It's much easier to wait months between story arcs if the chapters in said arcs are spaced out throughout those months, rather than all being posted the same day.

Post arc together: Readers complain you're taking too long to update.

Post arc chapter-by-chapter: Readers complain they're bored of the arc.

I've made a remarkable discovery: there are numbers in between 1 and 90. In honor of my genius, I call them 'gwernums'; examples of 'gwernums' include '5', '9', and gwernums requiring advanced techniques, like '20'.

Instead of waiting either 1 day or 3 months to post chapters, authors can post after gwernum days! (In the interests of promoting a more sane update schedule worldwide, I hereby release all known gwernums into the public domain.)
