Update
Hello everyone.
The issue for me here isn't that people get to read it for free, the issue is that it stands to hurt me, and here's how: Amazon could either accuse me of not owning the story, because it's out there. Or it could accuse me of breaking the terms of KDP Select(Kindle Unlimited), per which I have to keep the book exclusive to their library. In both cases, I face, at best getting my book taken down, and at worst, getting banned and losing all my previous earnings. I can't take this same risk with book 2. And while I have an audiobook publisher, I don't have a big ebook publisher to back me up if Amazon decides to take action(I'm publishing on my own).
I have decided to pause releasing chapters on RR until I have found a definitive solution for this issue. I know that any book can be pirated, and it's nearly impossible for you to guarantee that yours won't be, but what I'm looking for is assurances that I won't get in trouble with my Amazon releases. Once I have that, I will return to publishing here again.
Sorry to bring you this bad news, and thank you for your support throughout this journey, which I hope to resume with you again in the future.
