That's fair. Again, I don't disagree with your choices, I just think it's important for people to know this isn't 100% the original text.
And goodness, that'd be...quite the laborious undertaking. I think it was a good decision that you didn't. I could easily see trying to edit all that text adding 5-6 months of dev time minimal just trying to work through all that. You'd probably been better off just rewriting the novella yourself at that point! XD
