Thanks for checking this out.
To answer your question, this was written back in early December. There were two reasons it came to be. The first, was that I decided to submit Spice of Life to a contest, and the second was that I didn't like the pacing of the original. However, it was so far along, that I decided that editing it all would be harder than just rewriting from scratch. Once I completed the remake in late January and submitted it, I was not allowed to post it as per contest rules, but since it didn't pass the 1st round of judging, I decided to post it. As such, the story is complete and I don't have to worry about writing new chapters.
I guess that ties into how I can upload so much at a time. The main reason for that being my backlog. I tend to build up at least a few weeks of backlog so I can upload on a frequent basis without having to worry about writing new chapters constantly.
Of course, I can only build up a backlog if I have the inspiration to write something, which isn't always present. Though now that I'm uploading all of this, I've got a large enough backlog to last a few months, and that's just counting this novel. I've already got a sizeable backlog for my other ongoing series, En Passant Grandmaster, as well as a fully written remake of one of my other novels that I'm sitting on.
Funnily enough, one of the authors I take inspiration from is Hiro Mashima, who is known for churning out tons of works. I don't know his secret, so all I can say is build up a massive backlog, and then all you have to worry about is uploading everything.
As for the author commentaries, it's something I've been wanting to do for a while. As such, I've also started doing it on En Passant Grandmaster, and funnily enough, find myself spending more time on them than on writing a new chapter. Good thing I've got a backlog.😅
Once again, thanks for checking this story out. I hope you enjoy it.😁
