I confess waiting for the chapters to be released is more annoying then anything, especially as the slowness is deliberate versus just waiting for the chapter to be written then released.

While I understand the rational in reaching a larger reader pool, I confess that I myself have unfavorited and unfollowed the fic (not permanently) till the 25th and its best if I pretend it does not exist until then when the entire thing is out there.

Books are meant to be read in a single sitting, not consumed as piecemeal (unless no other option exists). It's literature, not a comic or an episodic tv series after all.
