Comments of chapter undefined of Bride of the Demon Lord

I haven't seen any update for quite some time now. Is this book privilege-only from now on? Sadly, the authors or WN never clarify these. I have read a number of stories that stopped updating while having 30-40 chapters as privileged. I have no idea if they will ever be released without privilege. And I didn't see any notice/clarification from the platform/authors about them. Probably, they think individual readers don't matter. I have stopped reading new books since this is not worth it. You pay money to read webnovels, a lot more than real books cost online - then they don't even bother before stopping updates and never respond to queries.
