How rude of me to start a thread and not come back for a week. I missed lots of great input in the meantime.
I understand the issue of serials and continuity. One problem is that the reader can't read at their own pace, they're at the mercy of upload frequency.
As for finishing, that won't be a problem in this case. Both books I'm serializing on Wattpad have gone through several drafts already. I'm only posting what should be something close to a final draft. And no early chapters are going to change significantly.
To tell the truth, the main reason for doing this is that it's a great incentive. I feel more driven to revise a chapter when it's going to be posted publically than when it's just going to be stashed on my hard drive. I also take extra care with the revisions.
That said, I totally understand how many would prefer to wait for the final, completed product.
