Bulk import, or multi-chapter adding, would be nice!

Hello, rather than post chapter by chapter, (Not counting my long novel, Celia, which I've written up to chapter 200, but only 70 chaps are released) I like to finish a novel completely before releasing it.

Uploading chapters daily is nice, and gives a decent window of time where people can sub to my Patreon or purchase the finished novel.

Rant aside, I just finished the second volume of Celia today, and I now need to upload and schedule all 100 chapters of it... I mean, I've done it before, but taking two or three hours out of my day to upload and schedule them ain't fun at all.

What's worse, is that I have to do the same for RoyalRoad, so my entire day is taken up by just uploading chapters... Anyway, that whole rant is just a long version of why a bulk uploading feature would be nice. Thanks for reading, have a great day/night!

you could bulk import in Royal Road. However, it's locked behind paywall for 6 bucks a month or 60 bucks for a year subscription. If you're like a seasonal author, I think that's worth the price

I couldn't really find much information on that feature, though. Like, will it just upload and release chapters from a PDF or whatever file format, or can I schedule them? Feature sounds great, but I need more information that doesn't seem to be findable about it, oof.

Funnily enough, I have recently screwed myself over once more. As I have written over 300 chaps for a new series of mine, and I haven't scheduled a single one of them yet :D

unfortunately they don't accept .pdf format, only .docx and .epub file. Whereas you can either time the release or not, I forgot...
