Several months ago, PB stated somewhere that some time in the past, they were told to grow more quickly and produce more stories and they said that they nevertheless want to make sure that this won't affect the quality. Planning books, getting them approved, writing them, getting the artwork, and putting those pieces together so that they can actually release the story, takes several months. The writers of The Elementalists and Open Heart basically said that they first teased the ideas in 2016 and look at when those were released, just because it took some time to research, have the idea approved and actually write them. So it's possible that many of the current books are still from 2016/2017/2018 so they release them in the order they were finished. I think it's possible they have several gender of choice books in the works but not in a stage where they can confirm that they working at them as that would be too early. Like "we have 4 gender of choice books in the work, but the writers are currenty still discussing the outlines and doing research on the topic, so those will not come out before 2021... maybe?" I stay optimistic and wait for the next months to come how things will develop because changes don't happen overnight... that's just my opinion and you may or may not agree with it but thanks for reading :)
