I am publishing a book in passages here myself and I don't see that as a big problem. Two things need to be considered:
- You don't publish in chapters but in small passages (400-600 words), so a reader who finds it after weeks or longer there is a good chance there are fresh passages younger than one week.
- As you wrote yourself, you have to publish continuously, so when the first book is finished, you publish the next one. So, over time you can collect a readership.
What I would find more important is the possibility to resteem old content. Currently, that is limited to 7 days as well and the consequence is that old but good content can't be rediscovered.
I will follow you now.
