This comment may not be appreciated, but I decided to write it anyway since I am in the same boat as those below me. I would appreciate a regular schedule instead of checking up on it every few days.

Suppose you want to make monthly releases like most other VNs. And you put in 5 hours of work every day for 23 or 24 days a month. You have about 115-120 hrs of work. You can assign categories like writing the VNs text, drawing background/sprite images, and then proof reading and fixing bugs. Then assign the number of hours to each. If you make sure youre always giving 75hrs of text time each month you can assume you will always get the same number of words coded in and ensuring readers have a consistent time reading each build. If you have the final text ready and chapters done you can average out the number of words per chapter and then assign working hours to get it done. If it is a longer chapter that is no big deal. You might be forced into using placeholder sprites and backgrounds but there will come a time to upload a smaller chapter (thats how averaging works) and the time you lost on images before can be made up now. As said, if you are done with the draft of the whole story and know what backgrounds/sprites you will need you can allot your remaining time in the month wisely so it ensures consistency with releases. Maybe you dont have 5 hours to spare every day but I am sure you can figure it out if your schedule is different. GL with it and sorry to assume you arent already very well organized.
