Not a chapter, trouble and advice seeking

The next few chapters wrap the third arc and are taking me a very long time to fabricate.

No spoilers ahead just want to know what are some reader preferences as I struggle with creating the best climax for this part.

Because it's taking so long to actually thread all the little storylines into a single coherent piece I start feeling like anything beside a perfect out of the oven presentation is not good enough which spirals me into longer edits and rewrites and more details...

There are five major plots cascading to a conclusion, at first I thought about just making a chapter for each and then another for a final showdown but just the first is already longer than some subplots spanning several thousand words and looking like a multiheaded monster about to devour the world.

My question to you dear reader is this, will less than perfect chapters culminating to the best of my current ability's climax be enough or should I put the extra effort in time and other resources to push beyond my currently known limits?

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

My biggest issues with the already written pieces is they don't mesh to make a chapter, with too many povs and too much going on, partly deliberate as this is when over a million Players clash in a multi layered giant battle of magic, technology, strategy and wits all painted in the bloody gore of the NPC universe on and offline there is just too much to tell in so few chapters, second question is, do I break the battle chap for povs chaps or keep it a gargantuan and unwieldy monster?

My third and final problem is with a piece of the content, it's hard for me to put really biased characters inside the story, even the segragating Kobolds had delegations of humans in their capital, and though they are a valid part of the fictional world I just find myself cringing when writing really hateful dialogues about the children's and other's choice to play as non human characters, I did some research into ultra racist speakers and they give me chills, do you think I should get over myself and make the best and most realistic world for the story or can we skip the hate and be a little less than the best we could be?
