BANG!
In a room filled with Heroes, one had just gotten up from the table where he had been seated at before banging his fist down on it had and speaking in the tone of one who was completely and outrageously baffled.
"How can it even be so sudden? And so ahead of schedule? This is a war, dammit! It's not a small skirmish that they can plan at any time to deploy at will! How the hell did this escape all of our intelligence sources?"
He was directly followed by another one for a different table, but the same outrage was present in this one's tone, too.
"Yes! Fine, we have only a single informer in the Mainland, but even if he wasn't reliable, haven't we spent centuries building up defense after defense all over the damn Endless Sea? Aren't they the reason we've had to be so economic in how we spend resources? How the f*ck did they all fail?!"
Hearing these two, more and more started to get up, and they all had the same questions.
(go to Tl;dr at the bottom for summary)
Problem: My timing of posting during a time when server issues were there caused chapters to show as published to me, while not being visible on WN
Solutions- Option 1: Publish again, and risk having the chapters published twice. Result- you would pay twice and have dummy chapters
Option 2: Wait for the issue to be fixed, but its golden week in China and programmers are not present. Still, I was told that it's possible that the chapters will be pushed out, albeit not at once(because of the timers internally f*cking up) if I did nothing.
Option 3: Ask them to delete the chapters and wait to ensure that it's all right. Again, cos no programmers, this would take too long.
I chose option 2 after reading the comments, deciding that it's better to have at least some show up ASAP.
My only answer to all the insinuations of lying, etc is that I am not at fault and this has happened before, and if you don't believe me, I understand why. So, all I'll do is keep my head down and pump out chapters to hopefully earn back trust with time. Thank you.
(and yes, I'll communicate sooner if there's a problem)
tl;dr: System f*cked up. I chose the option to just have the chapters out even if they're not all at once. They should all be out by around reset.
