I was thinking this exact thing for the last three pages but haven't had the chance to chime in until now.

Interesting fact not well known to the general populace-

Your "Masterpiece" was, in fact, not your crowning glory, but the piece of work which proved you had achieved the skills to qualify you for the status of Master in your chosen craft/guild/apprenticeship (a step up from Journeyman).

So if you keep producing Masterpieces, you must be re-submitting your work for review over and over
