So I have this story I want to publish.

Chapter 1 publishes with no problems. However, when I try to publish Chapter 2, 3, 4, etc., it won't let me. Nothing happens, and two errors appear. I tried going into incognito mode, logging into my account, and publishing from there, but nothing changed. I turned off my extensions, and that didn't help either. I made a new story because I thought maybe the one where I had 10 drafts was corrupted. Nope. Chapter 1 publishes fine, but the second chapter and onward stop working.

I made a test story where I only typed "hello" in each chapter, and it let me publish as many chapters as I wanted without any problems. The book is set to mature. Each chapter has around 1,500 words. There is bad language. There is violence and stuff you would find in a D&D campaign.

Could it be because I based it on the Forgotten Realms? Is it a copyright issue? It didn't show up in the errors, and the story is based on a public domain setting.

I need assistance, my fellow writers/readers.
