I mean, it would have been a pretty simple announcement if that is the reality.
"Don't make promises you can't keep." i.e. if it really has to do with coding work/scripting every time there is an event, then don't put a target date, put in a target month, hell, target quarter is also a thing since we can't really expect guarantees on exact dates.
That's also the thing. The lack of announcements for what is happening about promises that have yet to be fulfilled have been "left to our imagination". Why is webnovel, as a company, not posting about the very promises they are still working on but have failed to deliver based on the original commitment?
I would expect a company, that is professional, to do so if there is a failure to meet delivery or target dates. Yet each and every time this has happened, silence is the preferred approach or no official stance or response has been given.
