Possible misstep - notice

So I had a Patron explain earlier why they didn't super like the Arc so far, as I've been wondering. I figured 'this is an unexpected shift' or 'I just don't have interest in other worlds' was a likely culprit of the lost patrons, and you know it's reasonable. I don't think there's anything personal in dropping support, and even if I foreshadowed this a while back there's no reason you couldn't support it until it happened even if you knew it was coming. Even if the drop is big, it was a big story shift. I was not confused, and wished everyone well on their way.

But their reasons for not liking the arc sorta had nothing to do with that.
Instead, they interpreted almost every detail of the arc exactly the opposite of how I Intended things. Messages were misconstrued, details were swapped, even who is and isn't the bad guy was backwards.

Friday's chapter is the end of the arc, (before the game starts) after which I am going to host a google form poll - and likely a normal poll on top of it for people who care less - and if I find out that's common and I really did just tank execution that fucking badly?

I will be hosting a few polls on how to fix things, and taking a couple of weeks to rewrite the damn arc in its entirety. Because this story can survive an unpopular arc, but it cannot survive every arc past it being built on false and improper pretenses.

Thank you for your support.
