It was an online serial. Any new plotline or character is a live experiment that might publicly fail to work out. That kind of thing does indeed need a lot of work to become a conventionally structured novel. That said I actually thought the ending was pretty alright. Well, most of it.
I read it in real time. I read a lot of serialized fiction. It is possible to write a serial with decent pacing.
