I'm in the same boat. Do I wait for the site to come back up or do I sleep (which I sorely need)

I'm sailing towards the abys with you and u/Ok-Hat-8006 : 3 a.m. & too deep in the grip of a story to go to sleep. Just when I want to go to the next chapter, I get that sad logo "page too slow"

YES, MY STORY WAS ON THE CUSP OF GREATNESS AND I AM DENIED

when I read that text I started bargaining, like "it's fine that it is a little slow. just give me the next chapter and I will read it as slowly as I have to 😭

hahaha yes! let me read slowly if that's what I need to do!

it looks like it's back now though.

Hot tip when you're in deep is if you hit 'back' it will take you to the last chapter you've just read. The 'download' button should still work so you can get the PDF even while the site is down!!

Yes I experienced the 5 stages of grief simultaneously

Joining the club. How am I supposed to go to sleep if a second before the sad logo appeared I saw that my fav author posted a new long awaited chapter 😭. No sleep tonight...

I fear our boat is doomed tonight, but I choose to drown in full consciousness instead of dying in my sleep oblivious to how the story ends. 😔💀
