From my POV, the best is keeping your public regularly updated on what's going on, show image as teasers and announce when you do some concrete, solid advancement, while releasing new chapters when you think the story progression will satisfy players (and, of course, when said part is clean of bugs).

You know what I mean if you've followed early-access games development and No Man's Sky.

In my case "satisfying" means more than taking 10 minutes to complete, something that has the length of one of the original novel sidequest is fine. Having it end in the middle of an arc before a major fight/in the middle of a conversation is not.
