You might want to work on your observation and reading comprehension. Chapter 4 and 5 were supposed to be the same update, but it got split into several parts despite Patrons voting against it. I guess it looks like a positive to see back to back updates, even if it still less than what was promised, as a single update going back to November (and beyond).
It's amazing how quickly the 2400+ render update "Mackenzie" "had to release" a month ago is forgotten, but instead there we get a 1200+ render update followed by a missing 767 render update...and the remaining part is now delayed until...who knows when. Maybe it will be carved up into the "weekly updates" starting in April...
Definitely 'and beyond'. Basically, the last two updates comprise what he had mostly done in 2021 and (officialy) kept rearranging and rerendering for almost two years.
You'd expect something really polished or thought-out after that - and a lot less very recent-looking story twists unless he completely redid everything from scratch not that long ago.
And with his supposed speed of 400-500 render output (his words) a month, even then this is underwhelming as this again was done (including the still missing update part 3) in November which means he should have been able to produce ~1k+ NEW renders since then.
I know, mental problems and stuff - which totally won't happen evar! again after he starts rendering these 52 mini-updates.
Even if you liked this update - how can one single update result in so many new Patrons with his record?
He should be observed first and unless he keeps his schedule up, no one should think about giving him money.
Let him prove he keeps doing what you like for say a hand full of updates in a row - or at least half a year. If the keeps his word and you are happy enough with the ever-changing models, (non)story, and other stuff, only then give him money - not in advance.
