You are, what, three chapters behind? That was for an update a couple of chapters ago.
That was the last update (0.6)...and yeah, it feels longer
He's not. People just pick sides. I forgot to bookmark that update about them not being able to contact an artist under him from North Korea. That was a blast of an update.
I'm really interested how communication with the north korean artist works

But i think that was just one of the reasons the update was late, as ever. I think that was also the update when final fantasy came out and SirD sunk hundrets of hours into it and was very active discussing it, while ignoring his subs and nearly no update for an year...
For the 0.7 there really wasn't any excuse for a long time, until SirD just said he want to rework some scenes, which took another 4-5 months.
Imo, neither of them is really dependable, just SirD is worse.
