Hmm, I disagree. As long as you continue the story then I think it's fair. I've seen quite a few top authors that only do 3, 4, or 5 chapters a week instead of the standard 7 or more. Besides, the truly good novels will rise eventually or get featured on Trending Originals in the future. Now, if you plan on completely dropping the novel, then yeah, that would suck for your competitors and readers. I'm kind of surprised you won't be sticking with it though when your new novel is beating your old novel already even with your old novel featured. I can understand wanting to finish your older book first though.
On that note. It seems like you might lose anyways. Looks like Death Incarnate is rapidly catching up. https://www.webnovel.com/book/12016679805766705/Death-Incarnate
