I don't think this is about the author's wishes at all. It looks like the author got stuck, which happens a lot with writers. The pressure of having to produce something once a week can make it worse. I think the author should have more time off, with some of it NOT having to think about or work on the story for a while, but I don't think they get paid unless they produce. It's a brutal industry.
Great, so instead of getting 2 more chapters about the side couple we get two weeks of nothing because everyone was to impatient to wait for the main couple to return.
And now the author is forced to change his own story and maybe to end a pair he really liked. Well, that's when art becomes the product of influence. It's not about the authors wishes anymore and that's sad, if i liked it or not. ┗( T﹏T )┛
