I finally realize why people aren't reading book two. They aren't finishing book one due to a huge number of errors. I'm seriously embarrassed and working hard to fix it.
Got 60k done on Dungeon Building 101, and returned with fresh eyes. Hacked is currently sitting at 101k, with an estimated 130k ending. Longest book in the series so far!
Been building Hacked up for a while now and I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Ending total may be close to 150k, 30k longer than the last book!
