@Sam i dont think its so severe that the author will die, but he should at least rest from time to time, you wont know whether if you will be sick tomorrow, so it may just be sudden sickness and like he said, he made money with uploading his works, 4-5 months, even if its 3 months is way too long of short of money, and i also heard that author is not paid well enough with the work thats given, probably underpay or something
