Recently, some readers have said the story has been padded. Well, since readers have brought it up, I'll admit it. There aren't many plot points left, and wrapping things up has been much harder than I imagined. It's probably impossible to cover everything perfectly, so I'll try to reduce this kind of content. I really wasn't padding it on purpose...
After all, I have no experience with properly wrapping up and finishing a story...
I'll pick up the pace later on. I won't say too much unnecessary nonsense; even if there is any, I'll just describe it briefly. Please forgive me.
For my first book to reach completion already counts as a success!
From the beginning, I wasn't confident that I could wrap it up perfectly. I've always stressed that I'd do my best. I'm a newbie, after all, so please forgive me...
Tomorrow's update will get straight to the point!
