@ESCrowe Do you mean the part about a 5 chapter run? I wouldn’t read too much into that. It’s really common to have “trial runs” for a series in magazines to see if readers like it, and then decide if it gets renewed.
Gal Gohan went on to become a 10 volume series. It would’ve never made it this far if the author and her editors didn’t enjoy working together. 🙂
