A number of reviewers have asked about chapters that have not yet been heavily commented upon. Here’s a table that indicates the current state of play for all of the beta chapters we have published so far. It’s ranked by the ratio of the number of paragraphs in a chapter to the number of comments for that chapter. A lower ratio indicates that a chapter needs more attention.

I’ve marked chapters 1 through 11 in bold. If a chapter is marked bold and has a low ratio, we’d be really happy to see it get more attention, because we’ll be shipping it to the production team soon. Thanks!
